What do we seek?

We are not seeking for too much, all we seek in this petition is just 3 main actions/decisions to be taken by the parliament of Uganda and the cabinet(President), and these are;

1.     Cut the huge sums of those allowances and salaries of members of Parliament and revoke their unlimited powers to increase their own remuneration as they so wish.

2.     Make sure that MPs and other high ranking government officials earn as much or as little as their counterparts in the same management levels in the private sector. (in other words; “Equal pay for Equal work”)

3.     Re-allocate that money to Real Economy; poverty Alleviation to curb youth unemployment/job creation, supporting SMEs, improving the health-care and education system and Support Citizens' basic needs at the bottom like housing.

Why do we seek this?

For these 3 main reasons, we are seeking for action;

1.     We believe we must create a thriving economy that works for all, not just the top 1% or even less. (extreme income inequality)

2.     We must give our pressing needs priority, excessively facilitated public officers is not even close to any of our least needs; jobs, quality health care, and an inclusive economy are. (first things first)

3.   We must foster a work culture for a Real Economy ; We believe when you pay those who matter most, less or poorly, you are clearly telling them and everyone, that their work is not as valuable as for those you pay well.

And this comes at a big cost; everyone shifts their focus to that, the payer considers more valuable. In this case, it has been politics. We need to change the rules of the game (unfair treatment)-we must reward the most hardworking and the most impactful.

  @...Can you imagine,  with the majority; millions of Ugandans dwell in poverty at the bottom; afew who are lucky to have work, do so for only food to survive and shelter to have a roof on their heads in very harsh conditions, with no hope for tommorow,  and the few "chosen" ones will just in  less than 30 working days receive; Say MPs as they assume office;

On average more than shs. 300 million for a car, 4.5 million for subsistence allowance, I million for town running allowance, 1 million for gratuity, 500,000/ medical allowance, on top of close to 30M or more as salary every just less than 30 working days, plus many other allowance like plenary sitting allowances, travel and Comfort, iPads of close to 5 M  each. Still don't forget, this is not for 50 MPs or something close, not even a hundred but for 527 members. So you can do your own calculation..�����
