Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Used to demanding accountability of the government, the civil society in the country has found itself walking on nails after activists on social media hit the deepest ends of the still waters.<\/p>\n

In a fourth instalment of expose\u0301s, activists this week took on non-governmental organisations under a campaign that coalesced around the \u201cUganda NGO Exhibition\u201d hashtag.<\/p>\n

Sector regulators, the NGO Bureau and Uganda National NGO Forum, an independent and inclusive national platform for NGOs in the country, said they have taken note of the ongoing #UgandaNGOsExhibition and would collate all the feedback and commit to collectively discuss and address the concerns raised.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a sector that aspires to be transparent and publicly accountable, we are actively listening and documenting the numerous concerns,\u201d the NGO Forum tweeted.<\/p>\n

Started by Mr Jimmy Spire Ssentongo, a cartoonist and academic, the weeklong \u201cExhibition\u201d campaign allows a moderator to put up a topical issue and invite the public to share their views in whatever format\u2014text, pictures, videos, or audios\u2014with a view to holding responsible institutions and individuals accountable.<\/p>\n

The first exhibition on potholes painted grim pictures of the state of roads, especially in the capital Kampala, sending authorities into an overdrive to attempt to arrest the rot.<\/p>\n

The culmination of this past week saw President Museveni order the Special Forces Command, a specialised regiment of the Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces (UPDF), to work with the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) to fix roads.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s directive came almost a month after his son, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, inspected city roads in company of KCCA executive director Dorothy Kisaka, and undertook to give KCCA a hand in fixing the potholes.<\/p>\n

After exhibitions carried out surgery on public healthcare, and peeled open the dismal working conditions of the men and women in the security forces, NGOs\u2014who had applauded it all as part of wider public accountability\u2014have found the sediments in the still waters dirtying everything in the pot.<\/p>\n

Threats<\/b><\/p>\n

Reactions on social media suggest many NGOs and individuals running them are not comfortable seeing revelations of gross corruption, nepotism, sexual harassment and impunity thrust into the public milieu.<\/p>\n

There was an ominous warning to Ms Agather Atuhaire, a lawyer and journalist who is moderating the NGO exhibition, that she risked being \u201cisolated in Kampala\u201d for biting the hands that fed her.<\/p>\n

The winner of the 2023 European Union Human Rights Defenders Award was also subjected to blackmails, including sexual ones.<\/p>\n

Last month, Mr Ssentongo was forced to apply the brakes in his social justice activism after reporting threats to his life. But Ms Atuhaire waved aside the threats and counter accusations and carried on with the exhibition.<\/p>\n

Ms Nancy Abwola, who identified herself as one \u201cnurtured and working in the NGO sector\u201d, said it was \u201cabsurd to hear stories of corruption, exploitation, abuse and human rights violations from a sector meant to set standards of human rights, good governance, transparency, and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition heard that accountability would show that staffers are being paid Shs6m monthly, but one only receives Shs2m. Others spoke of sexual harassment, detailing organisations where a woman\u2019s success was reportedly proportional to how higher up they were willing to lift their skirts in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked for an NGO involved in sexual and reproductive health and rights of young people. The amount of shady work I witnessed in this organisation, I don\u2019t think I can fully write it all down. These young people were targets for sexual harassment by the bosses… young girls were hot spots for male employees to sleep with,\u201d said one.<\/p>\n

Another, who previously worked with an NGO funded by the US aid agency USAID, said they had witnessed a culture rife with sex coercion, sexism and rape.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt pressured to open my legs due to the epidemic of sexual innuendos I was receiving from senior management colleagues. It later transpired into being frustrated in my work when I declined and pushed out,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

The scrutiny sent several NGOs into meetings, with some attempting to fight back by unleashing a salvo on the activists and those sharing the expose\u0301s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to know that conversations are happening in NGO WhatsApp groups and other fora regarding the voices from the #UgandaNGOsExhibition so far. I hope they focus more on how to clean up their critical sector, not how to silence critical voices. Show the will to be better,\u201d tweeted Mr Ssentongo.<\/p>\n

Lawyer and civil rights activist Godwin Toko said it was disappointing that some NGOs and individuals were expressing fear of being destroyed by the scrutiny, saying only criminals should fear the spotlight.<\/p>\n

In a new age of civic accountability, the initiative to shed light on public affairs issues encourages constructive criticism and scales the heights of public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cTransparency and accountability are essential for the sector to maintain the legitimacy and moral authority of NGOs,\u201d said Stuart Edward Amanya, a social media influencer, adding, \u201cBy highlighting the discrepancies and challenges within the sector, you\u2019re taking a step toward creating awareness and driving change. Sharing experiences and evidence can provide valuable insights and pave the way for necessary improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NGO Forum said it was imperative to underscore that the NGO sector contributes significantly to the development and social wellbeing of Ugandans through complementing government service delivery and holding the state accountable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good that the issues are coming from individuals within the NGOs themselves,\u201d Mr Stephen Okello, the executive director of the NGO Bureau, said.<\/p>\n

Thorns on roses<\/b><\/p>\n

The challenge with such social media campaigns is that they elicit all sorts of commentary, including misinformation, blackmail and malice.<\/p>\n

The leading activists\u2014Mr Ssentongo, Ms Atuhaire and Mr Toko\u2014have found themselves dealing with such issues and having to steer the discourse away from the footprints of smear campaigns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith allegations, there are legal implications. Even if true, once sued, you may not be able to prove beyond doubt and the consequences can be dire. I share the anonymised accounts to create alarm because in many ways, we can still tell who they are without inviting litigation,\u201d Mr Ssentongo said.<\/p>\n

Mr Okello prayed that the campaign is not abused. \u201cI hope the individuals putting up the allegations have the evidence and are ready to cooperate once called upon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Sarah Bireete, the executive director of the Centre for Constitutional Governance (CCG), said the exhibition is characterised by blackmail and character assassination mainly by former employees in the sector.<\/p>\n

She added that it is likely to attract several defamation suits. Mr Bireete and CCG felt the full wrath of the exhibition. She was accused of practicing almost everything wrong she criticises President Museveni of doing\u2014from nepotism to corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cNGOs carry out annual audits and reports are available at the NGO Bureau. You can only poke holes by conducting forensic audits,\u201d she told Monitor<\/b>, adding that those making the allegations must provide evidence.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cAll our activities have been captured online since 2016 and our partners are aware of this. You can\u2019t come to Twitter and claim that CCG forges accountability when partners witness activities happening live on Civic Space TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Andrew Karamagi, a human rights activist and coordinator at ActionAid, an international NGO, said the exhibition was a \u201cnovel brand of online activism\u201d and one of the many ways through which the sector can be encouraged to introspect, reflect, evolve, build back better, and emerge stronger.<\/p>\n

\u201cDinosaurs would still be in existence today if they had adapted their dietary, migratory, energy use and reproductive patterns to suit this constantly changing planet,\u201d Mr Karamagi, who laughed off claims in the exhibition that he had illicitly amassed wealth in his NGO work, said.<\/p>\n
