Tororo, Bukedi was one time referred to as the United Nations of Uganda...then something happened!
📍 BUKEDI/Tororo was one of only 15 districts in Uganda at Independence in 1962.

✳️ Districts - Acholi, Lango, Bombo, Bugisu, Bukedi, Busoga, Karamoja, Kigezi, Madi, Masaka, Mpigi, Mubende, Sebei, Teso and West Nile.

✳️ Kingdoms - Buganda, Bunyoro, Tooro and Ankole
📍 THEN IN 1991

✳️ The breakaway of counties started, when Pallisa was split from #Tororo.

✳️ Busia was also broken off from Tororo 1997

✳️ Butaleja 2005

✳️ A year later, Tororo county demanded a district, but this time, wanted to go away with the admin Hq - Tororo town.
The Jopadhola (my tribe) have always been majority in Tororo district (Uganda's UN) that had Bagwere, Banyole, Samia, Iteso, Bagisu, Baganda, Somalis. The Japs okayed the Tororo County breakaway, but said like others before, those breaking away go form their own headquarters.

In about 1500AD, brothers Adhola Owiny entered present day Tororo from Bar-El-Ghazel in South Sudan. Adhola, who had a cancerous wound stayed behind, fathering the Jop-adhola, while Owiny move to Kisumu to father the Luo.

Adhola's descendants occupied what would later become West & East Budama (Tororo county). East Budama was left us a 'buffer' to protect against Masai cattle raids from Kenya, until it was occupied by Iteso about 1800AD

Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are.

God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,

Courage to change the things
which should be changed,

And the Wisdom to distinguish
one from the other.

BRIG KULAYIGYE: The military cannot be apolitical, it is non-partisan. They must however be politically conscious, but non partisan.

SSEMUJJU: Kulayigye, the moderator has asked you a question, answer it. You are an MP. This is not a military parade where you come to simply salute.

@owori_jr @URAuganda @IraUganda 📍 TIP: Vehicle Validation is supposed to be FREE, if done by yourself (seller or buyer) online. It is simply changing your log book details from the green book, to an e-book. #LogBookValidation #ThirdParty
@owori_jr @URAuganda @IraUganda 📍 TIP: It is the transfer, which is change of names in the e-log book, that officially costs sh84k (sh eighty four thousand only). But, if, like many, you have to go thru URA agents, it will cost you at least 300k! #LogBookValidation #ThirdParty

@owori_jr @URAuganda @IraUganda lo & behold.......that you cant get #Validation complete, because the seller cannot log into his or her TIN @URAuganda account online, you part with 900k, for notices in newspapers, court ETC. Unfortunate state of affairs in this #DIY digital age!
