M/S WIKIPEDIA ADDRESS THE STATEMENT BELOW

Refer to Web address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%27s_College_Kisubi The statement below on St. Mary’s College Kisubi is very wrong and should be changed: The school was established in 1906 by the Brothers of Christian Instruction, affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. The correct version: St. Mary’s College Kisubi was founded at Lubaga in 1906 by Reverend Father Modesta Raux, a brilliant French missionary of the White Fathers society. It is owned by the Catholic Arch Diocese of Kampala. The Brothers of Christian Instructions were brought from Canada in 1926 to relieve the White Fathers.

DID ALL DISTRICTS CELEBRATE THE INDEPENDENCE JUBILEE?

Billions of money were got by Presidents' Office according to Muhakanizi to see to the celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of Uganda's Independence. We were told that after the official Kololo celebrations, districts were to arrange their own celebraations. What is not clear is whether Government funded districts to celebrate, or it just became a matter of history. William Kituuka Kiwanuka ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the sins of Uganda, I repent — Museveni Publish Date: Oct 18, 2012 For the sins of Uganda,I repent — Museveni Christians dedicate Uganda to God during the National Jubilee prayers . At the National Jubilee Prayers in Namboole, President Yoweri Museveni made history when he openly repented his sins and the sins of Uganda, a move that has excited many religious leaders. Moses Mulondo brings you the prayer verbatim Father God in heaven, today we stand here as Ugandans, to thank you for Uganda. We are proud that we are Ugandans and Africans. We thank you for all your goodness to us. I stand here today to close the evil past and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of this nation. I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. We ask for your forgiveness. We confess these sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation. We confess sins of idolatry and witchcraft which are rampant in our land. We confess sins of shedding innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal. Forgive us of sins of pride, tribalism and sectarianism; sins of laziness, indifference and irresponsibility; sins of corruption and bribery that have eroded our national resources; sins of sexual immorality, drunkenness and debauchery; sins of unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and revenge; sins of injustice, oppression and exploitation; sins of rebellion, insubordination, strife and conflict. These sins and many others have characterised our past leadership, especially the last 50 years of our history. Lord forgive us and give us a new beginning. Give us a heart to love you, to fear you and to seek you. Take away from us all the above sins. We pray for national unity. Unite us as Ugandans and eliminate all forms of conflict, sectarianism and tribalism. Help us to see that we are all your children, children of the same Father. Help us to love and respect one another and to appreciate unity in diversity. We pray for prosperity and transformation. Deliver us from ignorance, poverty and disease. As leaders, give us wisdom to help lead our people into political, social and economic transformation. We want to dedicate this nation to you so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfil what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own. I renounce all the evil foundations and covenants that were laid in idolatry and witchcraft. I renounce all the satanic influence on this nation. And I hereby covenant Uganda to you, to walk in your ways and experience all your blessings forever. I pray for all these in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Religious Leaders React The Church of Uganda Archbishop elect, Stanley Ntagali said the prayer was a step in the right direction. That it was appropriate for the head of state to repent of his sins and the sins of Ugandans. The leader of Pentecostal churches, Apostle Alex Mitala, said the prayer was the beginning of the healing of a nation. “All the nations we read about in the Bible were healed when their leaders repented and acknowledged God’s supremacy,” he said. Mitala urged Ugandans to turn away from their wicked ways. Pastor Dr. Martin Kalibbala of New Testament Covenant Church warned that the fruits of repentance are what matter. “If you repent of stealing, God expects you to immediately stop stealing. If the President’s repentance is genuine, it will be measured on God’s yardstick of bearing the fruits of repentance,” he said. Pastor Dr. Martin Ssempa of Makerere Community Church said it was a good thing for the President to repent on his behalf and on behalf of the nation. He commended those who encouraged and helped the President prepare the prayer, adding that God will answer it. “We hope the President’s repentance will result into greater obedience to God by the executive, which he heads.

WHAT LOOKS LIKE POOR PERFORMANCE MAY BE FRUITS OF THE FIGHT TO END EXAMINATION CHEATING

It is most probable that what UNEB and Ministry of Education see as a decline in performance is the fruits of the fight of mal-practices in examinations. It is no news that many schools for long have been and continue to cheat in examinations. Now what we are seeing is the true picture of how students are standing with less cheating. UNEB needs to address the issue of examiners who visit schools and advise what students should read and how they should go about answering questions. In the forthcoming results, before the release, those excelling students should be called to UNEB and given trial short exams to ascertain whether they have the brains to have got so many A's etc. William Kituuka Kiwanuka

GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT STOP INFANTS IN BOARDING SECTION

Before coming up with a law to stop children / infants being taken to boarding sections of the schools, one ought to be aware of the situation on ground. It is a fact that many parents more so single parents take the children to the boarding section having done a lot of calculations and found that these will offer relatively better situations to their children. Some parents by virtue of their jobs have no time for their children. Sometime children were found very dirty and a teacher tried to find out what actually was going on at home. It was found that these children were staying with their father who would find them already asleep and leave before they were awake. These are real situations which we have to live with. It is also true that some parents by virtue of their jobs do such work which is not good like running bars from their households. It is better for such children to be in a boarding section than grow exposed to what takes place at home. So, what Government has to ensure is that the children in boarding schools get the right care, but declaring them illegal would mean that not much research has been done to establish why such facilities may be better given parent circumstances.

THE BUTALEJA WOMAN SEAT BI-ELECTION IS FOR CONTINUITY OF NEBANDA TERM AND HER PROGRAMMES

Had it not been the poisoning, Hon. Nebanda would finish her 5 year term as Woman MP for Butaleja. Nebanda stood for the ideal Uganda which any patriotic Uganda MP would stand for. She was able to be on the same side with opposition MPs on matters where common sense dictated that the future of Uganda was a concern of all positive thinking Ugandans. She never got short sighted. There is all the hope that Nebanda's sister will fit in the shoes of her late sister when she wins the forthcoming elections "God rest Nebanda's soul in eternal peace." William Kituuka Kiwanuka
