📌 TACI fundraising plan includes raising Sh12 million from each of the 52 Jopadhola clans, and also from Ugandans nationally and abroad

TORORO, Uganda | December 15, 2020 | The Adhola Cultural Institution (TACI) has sent out an urgent appeal to well wishers to help plug a sh33million deficit, which if done, will ensure radio equipment is secured by Christmas and plans to go on air on New Year's eve, remain on course.

"We have reached a very critical stage in our TACI media and radio project which we have been pushing since June 2020. The studio equipment we ordered will be ready for shipment. We however need to pay the balance by Close of business on Friday 18-12-2020," said treasurer Constant Othieno Mayende.

The TBN fundraising committee last month  made a deposit of about UGX 57,600,000 (being 50% of the FOB cost of the radio transmitter and studio equipment).

" This is therefore an appeal to the Jopadhola and well wishers to urgently consider contributing towards this cause. We shall be glad to receive money from those fulfilling their pledges and those making new or additional contributions. This is the time to stand up and be counted as Jopadhola," Mayende said.

 

Equipment deal

Tororo Broadcasting Network (TBN) signed a deal with a European radio and TV manufacturing company to secure top of the range transmission and studio equipment.

Geresom Okecho-Ochwo, co-chair of the committee in charge of the TBN project, revealed in an interview last month that he expects the radio equipment in Kampala in the next three weeks

Okecho-Ochwo is confident TBN will hit the Tororo airwaves on December 31, 2020. "Surely we are about to be there, so let us get to the finishing line. We need this radio on air before close of 2020. This project will be our collective and individual pride, let's all be part of it," he said.

The TACI Jago (Prime Minister) Obbo Richard Josel early this year handed the task of raising sh600million for the TBN project to a committee of 31 eminent persons led by Okecho and Usher Owere.

Okecho-Ochwo asked members of the community TBN will serve in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, and all well wishers in the diaspora, to support the project. It will be the first full-time Jopadhola radio to hit the airwaves.

"It was agreed that a radio, owned by the community would not only serve as a voice for unity and development of Padhola, but also act as springboard for other development initiatives under TACI," said Okecho.

He stated that while Padhola faces many social economic challenges, TACI resolved to prioritize radio as a developmental tool, to inform and educate, and promote her own, and government programmes. It will in addition create employment for the youth, women and men both directly and indirectly.

The building that will house the studios in Tororo

The TBN fundraising committee in September officially received a house offered by Ambassador Bernadette Olowo- Freers at Tororo central business district. It is being repurposed and wired to host the radio.

This offer will offset a budget of sh6m annually in rent.

Okecho said costs (UCC license) involved to the tune of Sh45 million have been pledged by the area MP, Apollo Yeri. "What is required immediately is money to procure radio equipment  about Sh100m and installation costs of about (sh50 million)."

Kwar Adhola launches fundraiser

Last month, a virtual fundraising drive organised by the Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution (TACI) was launched by Kwar Adhola HRH Moses Stephen Owor at his palace in Tororo.

Several items were auctioned, including Kwar Adhola's portrait and a beautiful Tororo Rock (Tele Tororo ) portrait. Over Sh22 million was raised in pledges and  cash. 

 

 

Kwar Adhola Moses Owor challenged the clans to spearhead the drive to mobilise support for the radio (click to view video), which he said will be their main vehicle for communication.

"Our people are praised for being hardworking. Now is the time for the Jopadhola, each of them, to show what they are capable of," Kwar Adhola said.

"This radio will be used to tell our people the truth, spread development plans and cultural news. I urge you all to contribute as everyone is capable of making a contribution to grow Padhola," he said.

The fundraising plan includes raising Sh12 million from each of the 52 Jopadhola clans, and also from Ugandans nationally and abroad,  plus solicit for funds from various institutions and development partners.

"I expect every clan leader to support this effort. How can you be a leader of a clan, and you are not part of this project intended to develop your people. We will start asking, are you part of us, or you are the leader for other reasons....should we consider picking a new clan leader therefore?" Kwar Adhola said.

Banking and mobile money details

The committee has opened collection bank accounts with DFCU Bank Limited, Acacia Branch to ease the fundraising drive.

TACI have also included a GoFundMe initiative (GoFundMe ) online as one of the ways to raise funds. It is organised by Prof Robert Owor at Albany State University.

TODAY IN HISTORY: Obote sworn in as President for second time December 15, 1980

✳️ Obote sworn in aged 55, 

✳️ UPC won 69 seats in the 126-seat Parliament

✳️ Ssemogerere's DP won 55 seats, stayed away from the inauguration

EXACTLY 40 years ago today, Apollo Milton Obote was sworn in for a second time as President of Uganda, becoming the first leader of an African nation to be overthrown in a coup and then win re-election.

"In my life I have faced challenges and intimidating tasks," said Obote, who led Uganda from independence until he was overthrown by his army commander Idi Amin in 1971. "But never have I been faced with formidable challenges such as we now face."

He then prepared to take on the challenge of rebuilding a shattered economy. "We have problems, we have friends, we have the ability to do a number of things, we have natural resources," said Obote, who has promised to abandon past socialist views to rescue the country's economy from the chaos of the Amin years.

The elections held December 10 and 11 1980, were controversial in many ways, but the  Commonwealth Observer Group’s final report stated that  “The people of Uganda, like some great tidal wave, carried the electoral process to a worthy and valid conclusion.”

They were impressed by the voters’ enthusiasm and patience, and their initial judgment (expressed before results were announced) was that the elections “should broadly reflect the freely expressed choice of the people of Uganda.”

It was the belief that the 1980 elections were rigged that led Yoweri Museveni to begin a long — and ultimately successful — guerrilla war against the UNLA supported governments of Dr Milton Obote, who was then overthrown again by his army Commander, this time Tito Okello Lutwa in 1985, before the NRA won the war a year later.

HOW THE FOREIGN PRESS REPORTED THE INAUGURATION

THE WASHINGTON POST

Ugandan President: Controversial Figure With a Unique Past

By Jay Ross

December 15, 1980

Apollo Milton Obote, the once and new president of Uganda, has won a unique place in African politics. He is the first leader of an African nation to be overthrown in a coup and then win reelection.

Since Idi Amin, who had toppled Obote, was ousted last year, Obote has been the key topic of conversation in the country. Monday, almost a decade after his overthrow, Obote will be inaugurated again as president after an election marred by irregularities.

"Obote was the main issue in the election," said a longtime observer of the 55-year-old grandson of a tribal chief from the northern Lango region. "He's too controversial a figure to lead the government -- he's not the man to pull the country together."

The elections seemed to show that Ugandans either love Obote or hate him; his followers are located largely in the north and his opponents in the southern Buganda region.

Even though he lived in Tanzania in political exile for nine years as the guest of his friend, President Julius Nyerere, Ugandan memories about Obote seem to be long, mainly because he tried to destroy the power of the country's feudal kings in Buganda.

Even many of his opponents agree, however, that he has leadership ability and that his party is the best organized in the country, giving some hope that Obote can begin to pull Uganda out of its decade of chaos if he can overcome the nation's divisions.

Obote became the first prime minister of Uganda after independence from Britain in 1962.He canceled the scheduled 1967 election, rewrote the constitution and became executive president of a one-party, socialist-oriented state.

He was wounded in an assassination attempt in 1969.

A measure of his unpopularity was the celebration that occurred in much of the nation when he was overthrown by Amin, his Army chief. But later Amin presided over the killing of an estimated 500,000 people and the destruction of the economy.

Even after Amin was overthrown last year, Obote remained in the Tanzanian capital and was able to return to Uganda only after military leaders favorable toward him seized power in May.

Now, having won a second chance at the leaderdship, "he is a driven man, determined to redeem himself," a diplomat said.

Born in 1925, Obote spent his youth as a goatherd while going to local schools. He went to teacher training college in Kampala but never entered the teaching profession. He has an honorary doctorate from Long Island University in New York.

Instead, he moved to neighboring Kenya in the 1950s where he worked in a sugar factory and later in a construction firm while he trained in politics under Tom Mboya, a leading Kenyan politician assassinated in the 1960s.

He returned to Uganda and formed the Uganda People's Congress in 1959 and was elected as the first leader of independent Uganda under the party's auspices.

Obote sworn in as Uganda's president

By TOM LANSNER

KAMPALA, Uganda -- Milton Obote took the oath of office Monday as president of Uganda nine years after he was ousted by Idi Amin and called on his countrymen to unite in building 'a new future' for the African nation.

Obote, 55, whose election was disputed by the opposition party, drove in his white Mercedes Benz to the steps of Parliament where the country's new chief justice, George Masika -- attired in red robes and a white wig -- administered the oath.

'In my life I have faced challenges and intimidating tasks,' said Obote, who led Uganda from independence until overthrown by Amin in 1971. 'But never have I been faced with formidable challenges such as we now face.'

Hundreds of cheering Ugandans waved posters of Obote and sang and danced as the government and military bands played the national anthem and the theme of the Uganda People's Congress, Obote's party.

'We have problems, we have friends, we have the ability to do a number of things, we have natural resources,' said Obote, who has promised to abandon past socialist views to rescue the country's economy from the chaos of the Amin years.

'It may be difficult but together it should be possible for all of us to rebuild Uganda.'

In Washington, the State Department declined comment on Obote's election, saying it would rather await a report by a British Commonwealth observer team on alleged irregularities in the election.

Obote called upon the Democratic Party to accept last week's national elections. But party leader Paul 

Ssemogerere stayed away from the inauguration and called a strategy meeting of the party's national leadership.

The Democratic Party has charged that widespread intimidation and tampering with election returns helped Obote's party win 69 seats in the 126-seat Parliament. The Democratic Party won 55 seats and two seats went to a smaller party.

Obote told the Democratic Party its 'role as the opposition party is as challenging as the role of the UPC and the government. Our destiny is the same. We either rise or sink together.'

The new president, who spent nine years exiled in Tanzania during the Amin regime, said 'We shall work for reconciliation, we shall insist on no revenge. The past is gone, we start a new future.'

Obote's party won 17 seats -- more than the margin of victory -- after Democratic Party candidates were disqualified. While the disqualifications were based on flimsy legal grounds, the opposition party is expected to have little success in changing the results in court.

As the majority party in Parliament, Obote's party is expected to quickly increase its majority by naming nominated members. In all, 30 members are expected to be added, all loyal to the new president's party.

The young man Charles 'Mokolimbo' Olweny is my cousin, while two other MPs are my neigbours ( Amagoro village mates) -- I just take a five minute walk and I am in their compound. Complicating it even more, Mokolimbo is married into the Opendi family.

Actually, two other former Women MPs were my aunties!

So, If you see me sited on the fence in these elections, plse bare with me.

But meanwhile, BREAKING NEWS, Otaala is on facebook. Not sure his settings are right, but check him out.

TORORO: Asuman Odaka writes to President Museveni

 

Muveni is driven on the Ntungamo – Mirama Hill road before its commissioning. This road forms a major cross-border link into the Northern corridor route and also connects to the road network of Rwanda at the border town of Kakitumba.

LAWYER AND POLITICAL ACTIVIST Asuman Odaka from Tororo Municipality has written a missive to NRM Flag-bearer and President of Uganda on the ongoing election campaigns. He is arguing for a bigger slice of the national cake for mineral-rich Tororo.

📌  MR. PRESIDENT, YOUR ANKOLE SPEECH EXPOSED THE EMPTINESS OF YOUR CAMPIGN CATCHWORD - #SecuringYourFuture

 

Salutations Mr. President/candidate Yoweri K.T. Museveni.

I am Odaka Asuman from Tororo Municipality.

 

MR  President, if your team of advisors and handlers were bold enough, they would have told you how much your Bushenyi speech utterly negated your campaign message that is centred arouond “#SecuringYourFuture.”

In addition to the treasonous utterances by Gen. Kahinda Otafiire (subject to a subsequent letter), the following were part of the accountability balance sheet you presented to the people of Ankole as a basis for them to elect you again in January’s 2021 general elections;

1️⃣ Uganda Technical College, Bushenyi infrastructure overhauled and transformed into a Science University

2️⃣  Kashenyi- Mitooma road tarmacked

3️⃣  Kitabi Seminary access road tarmacked

4️⃣ Ishaka- Katunguru road reconstructed

5️⃣ Katunguru bridge under reconstruction

6️⃣ Over ten tea factories built

7️⃣ Nyaruzinga banana factory

8️⃣ Ishaka- Ntungamo road done

9️⃣  Rural electrification and piped water, 90% of the sub-counties covered

1️⃣0️⃣ A number of agricultural interventions especially in the dairy, coffee and tea sectors

1️⃣1️⃣  Kabwohe-Nsika- Nyakabirizi road due for tarmack

1️⃣2️⃣  …..AND MANY OTHERS

 

MR. PRESIDENT, the records I have looked at recently indicate that the majority of Permanent secretaries are from Ankole and or its neighborhood, as is most District Police Commanders and Regional police Commanders, Majority of your senior cabinet ministers,  members of the high command of UPDF/NRA  and very many Army generals.

MR. PRESIDENT, need I add that majority of the commissioners in statutory commissions are from that same area, so are many leaders of government parastatals, many Resident District commissioners (RDC) ,  DISOS , chief administrative officers right across the country.

The list now includes most heads of academic institutions, students on scholarship both abroad and here in the country ….. MR. PRESIDENT, the list is endless.

President Museveni is currently campaigning in
Western Uganda

I once compiled a list of 1500 most influential government employee by name, position and place of work the shocking truth is that they are majorly from a very small part of the country that Uganda is.

As if that is not enough, MR. PRESIDENT, I will not be surprised if even the overrated youth livelihood programs, Women Funds and now “emyoga” is more beneficial to the youth of a particular area to the disadvantage of the majority leaving across the country.

Technical Know Who

It might not be by design, but that’s what happens when a system operates under the basis of ‘TECHNICAL KNOW WHO” not so much about meritocracy.

Therefore, MR. PRESIDENT, you will understand why many across the country are not excited about your campaign slogan of #SecuringYourFuture . Many people from the East, Central and Northern Uganda are ridiculing it. They are doing this because they do not see you SECURING the FUTURE equally for all parts of the country. They rightly feel left out, not able to secure guns (security and self protection), MONEY nor Education.

To crown this all, in your speech in Bushenyi, both you and your minister of East African community, Major general (Rtd) Kahinda Otafiire openly told the country that NRA is not ready to hand over power to anyone because there is A MISSION YOU HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH first.

In view of the fore narrated evidence, the unfinished mission seems more about excluding us, from other regions.

What About Tororo and all our minerals?

MR. PRESIDENT, when you came to Tororo on 27th November 2020, apart reminding us that now we SLEEP, telling the Etesot and Jopadhola to stop quarrelling, the only project you could lay claim on is the World Bank built municipal market. Is that what it means SECURING OUR FUTURE?

It’s very agonizing MR. PRESIDENT that when you speak about Tororo, its only about exploiting the minerals therein, increasing the revenue from Malaba boarder, the tourism etc but not about partaking from the national cake.

ODAKA: Anite is the only minister vigorously tourning the country
to campaign for Museveni

Do not be fooled that MR. PRESIDENT,  your votes in Tororo district will be secured by some people throwing huge stones and logs on the road to prevent Bobi Wine from campaigning here. In fact the road-blockers were making votes for Bobi Wine.

 MR. PRESIDENT, some of us who your system has grossly MARGINALISED are very TALENTED, ABLE, CAPABLE, CREATIVE and OUTO-DRIVEN. To turn our lives and our regions round, we don’t need HANDOUTS, we need HANDS-UP, DON’T GIVE US FISH, AVAIL US THE FISHING NETS.

MR. PRESIDENT, my feeling is that nobody is bold enough to tell you. From my observation, from every region you leave, people get more agitated than you found it.

 I hope you have also found out that you are a lone campaigner in the NRM presidential campaign. Apart from Evelyn Anite, there is no other person helping you to campaign. People are putting on yellow but campaigning for other candidates.

If other regions are silent about this, MR. PRESIDENT, be reminded that Tororo people’s future deserve to be SECURED now.

I wish to copy this letter to all the people in the regions you have been to.

Museveni campaigning in Westerdan Uganda

✳️ When the president came to TORORO, what did he give apart from opening the World bank built market. One can rightly ask - is he also REALLY #SecuringTororiansFuture?

✳️ What about West Nile, Acholic, Lango, Karamoja, Teso, Sebei, Bugushu, Busoga...what is so, special with ANKOLE region that others don't have?

✳️ Ankole region already has the majority Permanent Secretaries, Ankole has Majority District Police Commanders (DPCs), Ankole has Majority Ministers, Ankole has Majority, commissioners, RDC, DISO, executive directors etc. Do they really need more, especially when others are starving?

At 94, Kwar Adhola shows he still is a man for all seasons

HIS Royal Highness, Kwar Adhola, Moses Stephen Owor was born to the late Mzee Wilbrod Othieno and Norah Nyanganda, a daughter of Chief Majanga, at Nagongera on 25th, February 1926.

He however grew up and spent his entire school life as an adopted son at the home of Mark Raphael Owor (1904-1989) and Anne Tereza Akumu (1914-97) in Tawo-jwok - Sesera, Nagongera. 

Mark Owor  was one of the pioneer teachers in Bukedi. 

This home Moses Owor grew up in gave the country Prof. Charles Lwanga Olweny, Mary Nyadoi Nyamwenge (RIP), Mary Annunciata  Achieng (RIP), John Asumpta Ochwo (RIP), Emmanuel Okello Owor, Joseph Mary Osinde 'Ojuku' (RIP), Richard Omitta, Angela Adikini, and Anna Olweny Othieno (RIP).

Moses Owor started his early schooling at Nagongera Primary School, from where he proceeded to St. Peter’s College Tororo for his early secondary schooling. He thereafter joined Namilyango College for further studies.

He joined the Civil service in 1950 and rose through the ranks to become Permanent Secretary in the then Ministry of Labour and retired from Government Service in 1977. During the period of his service in government, he attended various career development training and courses in UK, Denmark, Sweden and USA.

Moses Owor was also among Uganda’s delegates to the International Labour Organisation Conferences held in Geneva, Switzerland for over 10 years. Upon retirement, he served the Federation of Uganda Employers as Executive Director, up to 1979, from where he joined the International Labour Organization (“ILO”) based in Nairobi, Kenya as Chief Technical Advisor from 1980 to 1983. Upon his return to Uganda, he served on a number of boards of public bodies and committees. He was among others, Chairperson of the Boards of Kilembe Mines Ltd and Produce Marketing Board.

He served on various other committees of government such as that one which made in 1987 recommendations to rationalize the public service of Uganda, while at the same time pursing his own businesses.

Kwar Adhola  at his coronation ceremony The historic and memorable event took place in King George V stadium in Tororo Town on the 7th August 1999. After a cultural ritual performed by a one Opeti Obieto (now the late), His Grace Yona Okoth (RIP) the then Archbishop of the Church of Uganda prayed over the new cultural head. Hon Moses Ali then 2nd Deputy Prime Minister represented the Uganda government .

Birth of TACI

When government allowed cultural institutions to operate according the law and norms of various peoples in Uganda; the Jopadhola clans elected him the first “Kwar Adhola” - (Grand father of the Adhola people) in 1998 under the auspices of the Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution (“TACI”), which institution brings together all the Clan leaders of the Clans of Jopadhola, and whose Motto is Unity, Peace and Development.

Earlier in 1998 an electoral college of the 52 registered clans of Padhola elected the new leader by consensus, thus giving rise to a leadership without a loser but all winners.

This was a manifestation of emerging unity for the Jopadhola. Hitherto each clan separately had its own clan leader called Kwar Nono (clan grandfather). And whereas the clan leaders had close association on account of common origin, none of them superintended over the others.

The new cultural leader was given the title Kwar Adhola (grandfather of the Jopadhola), and the new Union of the original and affiliated clans was christened Tieng Adhola Cultural Institution with the motto Unity, Peace and Development.
