PARLIAMENT BUILDING /* KAMPALA _ UGANDA 6, \,f!* k) APRrL,2Ol9 /i r* 1,O. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Committee Maadate 1) In accordance with Rule 176 of the Parliamentary Rules of Procedure 2017, the Committee on Government Assurances and Implementation is mandated to: (a) record and scrutinize the Assurances, Promises and Undertakings given by any Minister, Prime Minister, President, Vice President, in the House from time to time; (b) monitor and evaluate the fullilment of Government Assurances; (c) exercise such other functions that are not covered by paragraphs (a) and (b) as may be allocated to the Committee by the Speaker from time to time. 2) Rule 176(7) further provides for Members of Parliament to report to Parliament, the Assurances, Promises and Undertakings given in their constituencies by the President, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ministers in the House from time to time; 3) Rule 176(2) further states that, where the time frame for implementation of al Assurance is not given by the Minister, the Committee shall determine the category within which it falls and accordingly determine the time frame within which it ought to be implemented; The categories include - (i) EmergencyAssurances. (ii) Short term Assurances. 1 (iii) Midterm Assurances or ( ttC (iv) Long term Assurances. [^/ 1 L.2. This Report Rt. Hon. Speaker, in accordance with its mandate as provided under section 1.1 above, the Committee recorded and scrutinized the fulfillment of promises, undertakings and assurances given by the President, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ministers in Parliament for selected districts. This report is presented in accordance with Rule 176(31 (4) of the 2077 Rules of Procedure of Parliament. It is to be debated by MPs and the issues raised in the debated are to be responded to by the Leader of Government Business during the debate. 1.3. Context and Scope 1.3. 1. Context In a democratic society, political leaders seeking to occupy public offices and those already occupying such offices do make promises in order to win or retain the public trust necessary to occupy or maintain these t5rpe of offices. Problems arise when the promises made by such leaders are not fulfilled at all or not properly and timely fulfilled. After elections, the people become frustrated as they become too powerless to cause the leaders to give accountability on the promises they made but failed to fulfill. Parliament generally and the Parliamentary Committee on Government Assurances and Implementation got established to help the people in such situations by tracking the implementation of promises, undertakings and assurances made from time to time in and outside Parliament in accordance with Rule i76(1)(a) - on the floor of Parliament arrd 17 6(71 - covering their constituencies. By looking at the Administration of Parliament Act, 2006 and the Parliamentary Ruies of Procedure, 2017; this report is presented in the context of: k- W' 2 /1 r, LLw 1. A Parliamentary oversight report presented by one of the accountability Committees (chaired by the opposition) to ensure a high level of accountability in order to Iight against corruption in public offices; here it does so in the context of funds released for implementation of promises and when such funds face the risk of being diverted by public officials for personal gain. 2. A Parliamentary Committee report on Project monitoring and evaluation; and value for money audits to fight against wastage of public resources in the implementation of political promises. 3. A Parliamentary oversight report on Political and Moral accountability of political leaders to fight against political deception and political fraud in elective public offices. In this, the ill this Committee tries to cure is lying and political deception by political leaders in and outside Parliament, as provided for under Rule 176(1) (a) and 176(7). We, members of the committee , believe that: a) A promise is a debt. A debt must be paid. b) Lying is a sin - and it is punishable by God. c) Lying is a crime - and it is punishable by law. d) Political deception is political fraud and it punishable politically. e) Proper and timely fulfillment of promises, undertakings and assurances by leaders is rewarded by the people. 1.3.2. Scope Due to the present significance of electricity in the economy of Uganda generally, and importance of electricit5r in the social lives of individuals, families and communities, the Committee on Government Assurances and Implementations chose to put emphasis on the Enerry Sector as a special case. However, whereas the main focus of the Committee was on the Ener$/ Sector in the selected regions and districts across the country, cross cutting issues out sector were also considered. p<-- 'fr* IF I!fl, lal The Energy Bector In the Energr Sector, over time (from 1986 to date), the political leaders referred to under Rule 176 of the Parliamentary Rules of Procedure 2017, made promises, undertakings and assurances to the people of Uganda to: 1) generate electricity; 2) extend electricity to targeted institutions such as Health Centers, Sub county Headquarters, Schools, home steads; and 3) distribute electricity to various areas covering Trading Centers and Towns, Sub counties, Counties and districts across the country. The Committee followed up on 38 assurances in the Energr Sector; of which 3 were for power generation, namely Karuma Hydropower Dam in Kiryandongo district, Nyagak I Hydropower Dam in Zombo district and Maziba George Power station in Kabale district, compensation of project affected persons (PAPs) in the Karuma Hydropower Dam project, while 34 were for extension of electricity to various areas (see d.etalls ln sectlon 4.2.3). Right Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members; this is the report of the Committee on the extent of implementation of those promises, undertakings and assurances in the Energr Sector. The major focus of this report is on the following key areas under the Energr sector: i) power generation; ii) transmission; iii) compensation of project affected persons; iv) distribution networks to different areas: Trading Centers, Schools, Health facilities and Homes, along the way where the power lines pass from the source to the intended fina1 destination of the power lines; and v) Sequence and balancing of power project implementation from generation, transmission, distribution to connectivity and utilization. lg<- lr 4 w W ldr vi) Utilization of Loans: Parliament of Uganda approved requests by the government of Uganda for external borrowing from different funding agencies including: BADEAI, SFD2, OFIDS, IDB+, AIrDs, ADFD5 and KFAEDT. Some of these loans required counterpart funding from the government of Uganda and government gave assurance to provide counterpart funding. Some of loans took long to be accessed due to government's delay in providing counterpart funding that Parliament had been assured of at the time of loan approval. (bf Cross cutting issues, covered in different sectors The report covers cross cutting issues (i.e. issues outside the energr sector) that the Committee came across in the field even though the major focus was on the Energr Sector.

    Speech to Parliament By H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni President of the Republic of Uganda Parliamentary Buildings - 13th December, 2012 1 Rt. Hon. Speaker, I have decided to use the rights of the President, under Article 101 (2) of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, to address Parliament. I am exercising this right in order to counter the nefarious and mendacious campaign of the foreign interests, using NGOs and some Members of Parliament, to try and cripple or disorient the development of the Oil sector. If the Ugandans may remember, this is not the first time these interests try to distort the development of our history. When we were fighting the Sudanese-sponsored terrorism of Kony or when we were fighting the armed cattle- rustlers in Karamoja, you remember, there were groups, including some religious leaders, Opposition Members of Parliament as well as NGOs, which would spend all the 2 time denouncing us, the Freedom Fighters. They were denouncing those who were fighting to defend the lives and properties of the people, rather than denouncing the terrorists, the cattle-rustlers and their external-backers (in the case of Kony) as well as their internal collaborators. It would appear as if the wrong-doer was the Government, the NRM, rather than the criminals. We, patiently, put up with that malignment at the same time as we fought, got injured or killed, against the enemy until we achieved victory. Eventually, we won, supported by the ordinary people and the different people’s militias. There is total peace in the whole country and yet the misleaders of those years have not apologized to the Ugandans for their mendacity.

  • Karuma Dam EIA Report Part 2
    KARUMA HPP(600MW)_________________________________________________ EIPL CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. Uganda has a total landmass of 241,000 sq. km, 18 percent of which is covered by freshwater bodies. Lying astride the equator, Uganda offers exceptional diversity, combining some of the best features of Africa, including the source of the River Nile(the second longest river in the World) and Lake Victoria(the second largest fresh water lake in the World). The country’s geographical diversity is great. In the East, it overlaps the tropical Savannah and in the West, African rain-forest zones lies. Moreover, there are many existing contrasting physical features, ranging from extensive plains with undulating hills to snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, meandering rivers and spectacular flora and fauna. The country is endowed with abundant renewable energy resources. These include plentiful biomass supplies, extensive hydrological resources, favorable solar conditions and large quantities of biomass residues from agricultural production, among others. With about 43,942 km 2 of wetlands and open water (18% of total area), Uganda is considered fairly well endowed with water resources. Major water bodies include lakes Victoria, Kyoga, Albert, George and Edward while major rivers include the Nile, Ruizi, Katonga, Kafu, Mpologoma and Aswa. Almost the whole of Uganda lies within the Nile basin, which is shared by 10 countries. Favorable atmospheric conditions and mighty river provides abundant hydropower potential estimated at about 2,000 MW mainly along River Nile that can be developed to supply isolated areas or feed into the national grid.

  • Executive Summary
    KARUMA HPP (600 MW) __________________________________________ EIPL Executive Summary Uganda is currently facing a huge electricity supply deficit; it has one of the world’s lowest levels of electricity development as well as the lowest per capita electricity consumption. Over 90 percent of the country's population is not connected to the national grid, much of the electricity network at present is poorly maintained and country the experiences frequent power cuts. According to the National Development Plan (NDP- 2010/11-2014) the present peak demand of Uganda is about 400 MW or more which has been growing at an annual rate of 8%, to meet this growth with demand about 20 MW of new generating capacity needs to be added each year. NDP further identifies that, current levels of electricity supply cannot support heavy industries limited generation capacity and corresponding limited transmission and distribution network as among other key constraints to the performance of the energy sector in the country. Given the large and growing gap between electricity supply and demand in Uganda, a number of electricity generation alternatives were explored under Rural Electrification Programme for next 20 years. Studies over various planning horizons were also examined and prioritized for the country under the Hydropower Master Plan. The conclusions from the evaluation of these generation alternatives reveals that large scale hydroelectric development is the most economical way forward for the country in the short-medium term. Therefore, to meet the growing electricity demand seven potential hydropower sites have been examined downstream of Bujagali Hydro Power Project (which is already under construction) over River Victoria Nile from Lake Victoria to Lake Albert as river is the primary hydrological resource available in country.
