January 16, 2023 – Passing of Comrade Hon. Simon Toolit.
We learned with shock and great sorrow of the untimely passing of comrade Hon. Toolit Simon Akecha this afternoon at St. Mary’s Lacor Hospital in Gulu.
Hon. Toolit was our flag bearer in the recent by-election in Omoro Constituency. He was also the acting head of policy and research for the National Unity Platform.
At the height of the Omoro by-election, the pressure to compromise Hon. Toolit Simon Akecha and get him out of the race was incredible. Many offers were made to him, as he kept updating us.
They wanted him to denounce the National Unity Platform and abandon us midway. He certainly knew they would rig him out if he resisted the offers.
Even when he had very many needs, he chose to place his name and legacy above the material offers that were placed before him.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we lost a man who practiced INTEGRITY in word and action!

January 20, 2023 – Visiting our detained comrades at Kitalya Prison.
Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya and Comrade Nubian li along with other comrades, paid a visit to our detained comrades at Kitalya Prison. For over two years, the regime has illegally detained these comrades by remanding them through the General Court Martial.
Our lawyers have undertaken to secure the release of these comrades, but their efforts have been ignored by the court martial on all occasions. However, we will continue to campaign for the release of all political prisoners.
We also contend that everyone with a good conscience should advocate for the release of these comrades, as they have committed no crime.
