🇺🇬 INTERNET RULES FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS?

Asha Mafabi, the Sironko District Woman Representative, wants regulation of technology and internet access for infants and toddlers prioritised, arguing that concern for children’s development could win parents’ support.

“The first, the first low-hanging fruit, which I believe, if we are serious and deliberate about it, we shall achieve it, and that is governance of technological and internet access to toddlers and infants.”

She proposed a law or policy, without specifying an age limit or how restrictions would work.

🇺🇬 WHAT IS THE COST OF KEEPING THE INTERNET ON DURING ELECTIONS?

Asha Mafabi, the Sironko District Woman Representative, has questioned whether an economic-impact calculator captures the potential risks of keeping the internet open during elections.

Using a hypothetical disturbance in Sironko, she argued that a local incident could be amplified into a claim that the whole country was in turmoil, exposing Uganda to foreign interference and threatening economic and political stability.

“Now, did we look at the opportunity cost of the internet being open during, not every day of the year, but during those days, the sensitive days of the elections?”

Mafabi said she was not rejecting the presentation, but wanted those risks included before a final position was reached.

“The challenge is before the process is completed, you are already transacting.”

🇺🇬 ACCESS TO URSB’S CASH, BUT WHO HAS THE LEGAL MANDATE?

The committee questioned whether those handling URSB’s financial affairs had the legal authority to transact and answer its audit queries.

“Do you have the legal mandate to represent the vote, to answer on behalf of the vote and to transact on behalf of the vote? That is the question we are seeking to establish.”
