LIVE: UBC LEERO NE SHAIDAT NASSAKU | APRIL 17, 2024.

In today’s participative world, citizens are not only queuing at voting booths but also taking to the streets and using modern communication technology to select, sanction, and pressure the leaders who wield power within the government. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways even within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Too often, government leaders fail to adopt and implement policies that they know are necessary for sustained economic development. Political constraints can prevent leaders from following sound technical advice, even when leaders have the best of intentions, making politics work for development. Political engagement becomes unhealthy when leaders are selected and sanctioned based on their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, giving rise to a range of government failures. In Uganda today, the impact of politicking on development has become more apparent. For example, shades of politics have played a critical role in the ongoing challenges of traders' protests and questions surrounding the completion of Namboole. To analyze this issue, we have John Musila - MP, Bubulo East; Sarah Bireete - political analyst; and Ed from CCG. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

Refugee Response partners in Uganda play a crucial role in providing protection, assistance, and solutions to the 1.66 million refugees and asylum seekers in the country. However, the overall funding shortage is impacting the already limited livelihood opportunities and severely affecting food security, exacerbated by a growing influx of new arrivals. Yesterday, a group of stakeholders highlighted at the media center a contribution that has been pooled to address the challenges of underfunding in refugee status and provide a glimpse of this. Matthew Crentsil - UNHCR Representative is joining us. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The annual Joan Kagezi Memorial lecture is scheduled to take place next Thursday. This event marks the seventh occurrence since its inauguration in 2016. Director of Public Prosecutions Jane Frances Abodo states that this year's event holds particular significance, as Kagezi's suspected killers have been committed to the high court, awaiting prosecution pending the court's scheduling. Joan Kagezi was assassinated in March 2015 in Najjera, a suburb of Kira town, Wakiso district. While on her way home, she stopped at a fruit stall, where assailants trailing her opened fire and shot her. At the time, she was the acting Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions and was prosecuting a high-profile case related to the 2010 Kampala twin bombings. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

SPORTS DEV'T IN UGANDA; ASSUMAN BASALIRWA PRESENTS TROPHIES WON BY UGANDA IN VARIOUS DISCIPLINES

LIVE: UBC GOOD MORNING UGANDA Extra | APRIL 17, 2024.

Doubt continues to loom over the possibility of the Mandela National Stadium in Nambole hosting Uganda's next World Cup game against Algeria, scheduled for June 3, 2024. This uncertainty arose after a CAF report highlighted several areas that did not conform to FIFA rules and regulations for a venue to host an international match of World Cup qualifier status, which was brought to the attention of Parliament. Now, Budiope East Member of Parliament Moses Magogo, who also serves as the President of the Federation of Uganda Football Associations, says CAF can rescind their report if the areas they pointed out are addressed well in time before May 5th. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

In 2005, which is 19 years ago, Jackson Mubiru first tried out skateboarding for fun after watching Shaw Swat, a South African national, skating around the Lugogo shopping mall. Now, what started as fun has since developed into an Olympic Games prospect for hundreds of young people, especially in the Mutungo Parish of Nakawa Division in Kampala District. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

Following increased rainfall, the country is facing rising water levels, which are wreaking havoc in several places, especially along Lake Victoria.

Last Thursday during the sittings, Speaker Anita Among tasked the Minister to provide accountability for the staggering Shs97 billion allocated for the stadium’s refurbishment, unearthing mounting concerns regarding the delayed completion of the Mandela National Stadium. Revelations of inadequate renovations compelled the Minister of State for Sports, Ogwang, to respond, including addressing complaints raised by John Nambeshe, the Opposition Chief Whip, who expressed disappointment over Minister Ogwang’s failure to fulfill pledges concerning the stadium’s construction. The unresolved financial shortfall has cast uncertainty over the timeline for completing the renovations, raising questions about Uganda’s readiness to host the two World Cup qualifiers against Botswana and Algeria in June at the Namboole Stadium. Also, the AFCON 2027 seems to be slipping from our grasp. How did we reach this point, and what can be done is our line of discussion today, with answers sought from Col. Deo Akiiki, Deputy Spokesperson of UPDF, Ivan Ojakol, sports lawyer, and Ismail Dhakaba Kigongo, sports journalist at NMG. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The late Dr. Martin Aliker will be accorded a state burial by Article 99 of the 1995 Constitution, as amended, which vests the Executive Authority of Uganda in the President. However, it will be unlike other state burials, following an agreement between the family and government that the deceased body would not lay in the state. Rita Kanya Mujuni has more in this report. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
