Host Elvis @lajwika: You're not bringing back @Thomas_Tayebwa ? @DaudiKabanda : Our players are injured. We have to replace them, we are looking for the Deputy Speaker, and the people of Lango I wish you well. It can go to Lango as well. Okay. What I am telling them is to pray so that it comes to Lang'o sub-region. It has not been ring-fenced to Karamoja, to Teso. So, the people of Lang'o, I wish you well. Hon. Kabanda is the MP for Kasambya County in Mubende District, and the General Secretary of the Patriotic League of Uganda(PLU). #VOLUpdates

I want to thank the people of Lango for once again sending us good leaders. I have interacted with most of them, the new MPs and the old, those who have come back. Even this morning, I was just talking to the former LC5 chairman of Amolatar, Geoffrey Ochen (Kyoga North MP). You can really understand that Lango sent us good leaders. - Hon. @DaudiKabanda (MP for Kasambya County in Mubende District, and the General Secretary of the Patriotic League of Uganda(PLU). 📸Courtersy #VOLUpdates

"Tomorrow, if you tell me you want to meet General M.K. and I ask you for money, I have to go to Luzira. I have to be arrested, because that is corruption. And when they arrest me, people should not start saying, you see, Kabanda and General M.K. (@mkainerugaba) are close confidants. Why should they do this? This is not what you are supposed to do. So, now, we are telling you, step aside as we investigate you." - Hon. @DaudiKabanda, MP for Kasambya County in Mubende District, and the General Secretary of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU). #VOLUpdates

Host @LevisElvis22: Did you hear anything coming from the Central Executive Committee of the NRM Political Group, because that one is entirely on them to declare who will be the party's candidate for the position of the Speaker. Hon. @DaudiKabanda: Not yet. We have not yet heard from the Central Executive Committee of the NRM. But we have been closely working with the members of the Central Executive Committee, including the Hon. GCW, Hon @HamsonObua . @ObuaHamson. He's been part of the process that has been examining these players, and he's one of those who suggested that our players are injured. So, we hope for this week to make a final decision on that, but the President has already endorsed it. As far as I know, the President has already endorsed it. 📸NilePost #VOLUpdates #Wimeja

Hon. @DaudiKabanda on #WimejaLive 📞 this morning; "We realized that the Speaker, the former Speaker now, RT. Hon @AnitahAmong, together with the Deputy @Thomas_Tayebwa, who have been good players in the Parliament of Uganda, maybe somehow, we saw them limping. Maybe the coach realized that these players needed to be replaced because if we continue with them, they may have gotten an injury on the left leg. And if we insist, even the right leg may be affected. So, we decided to say, the game is still on, you come out, and we replace you with other players. So that's exactly what we did." 📸Chimpreports #VOLUpdates

@DaudiKabanda Live on 📞 #Wimeja this morning: National Resistance Movement (@NRMOnline), like any other organization, be it the Voice of Lango, is like a football team. And a football team has got a coach and does not have only 11 players. Now, Coach Put of Uganda Cranes cannot go for any tournament with only 11 players. He will have players on the bench, just there waiting, and a starting 11 also. In case any of the members in the starting 11 get an injury, you must get a substitute. This is what exactly the National Resistance Movement has done in this issue of Speakership. Host: @ElvisAjwika #VOLUpdates

The minister for Education and Sports and 4th deputy Prime Minister of Lango Cultural Institution George Ojwang Opota said Lango paramount chief, Eng. Dr. Michael Moses Odongo Okune has for long been offering bursaries for students to study various courses in higher institutions of learning.

UNEB ED Dan Odongo: Examiners and curriculum specialists commended the overall quality of the examination papers administered. The papers clearly reflected the paradigm shift towards competency-based learning, with questions designed to assess learners’ ability to apply knowledge and skills. However, it was noted that some teachers—particularly in Social Studies and Religious Education—have not fully adjusted their teaching approaches to align with this shift. As a result, many candidates experienced difficulty responding to questions that required the application of knowledge, especially in relation to their communities and the country at large. This partly explains the decline in performance in these subjects compared to 2024. Examiners also highlighted the negative impact of materials developed and circulated by so-called examination bureaus shortly before the examination. Such materials were misleading and adversely affected candidates’ preparedness and performance. 📸@UNEB_UG #PLE2025 #VOLUpdates
