🏛️ What I Will Do in Parliament

National Workers’ Digital Rights Act

🔐 End algorithmic discrimination, silent downgrades, and surveillance. App workers, gig drivers, freelancers — your phone should protect, not punish you.

Inclusive Labour Safety Bill

🦺 Housemaids deserve contracts. Night guards deserve rescue plans. Boda riders deserve reflectors. Labour safety is a right — no matter the job title.

Minimum Living Wage Law

💰 Turn survival wages into dignity pay. Whether salaried or informal, every worker should afford rent, food, transport, and medicine. We’ll build a national wage board — with worker voices at the table.

Labour Mental Health Act

🧠 Free trauma support for vendors, taxi drivers, factory staff. Every labour zone should have access to healing — because mental health is worker health.

Overseas Workers Protection Bill

✈️ Domestic workers in Saudi. Guards in UAE. Cleaners in Qatar. Uganda exports its youth — but forgets their safety. We’ll fight for contracts, embassy lawyers, and fair reintegration.

NFA Green Works Plan

🌲 Turn National Forest Authority reserves into job zones. Train youth in tree planting, bamboo farming & eco-enterprises. From idle land to green income.

East African Youth Jobs Pact

🌍 Uganda has talent. EAC has markets. Let’s sign a youth mobility deal for legal work in Kenya, Rwanda & Tanzania. Pan-African jobs, now.

Workers’ Bank & Informal Sector Retirement Fund

💼 A bank owned by workers, serving both formal and informal sectors. Market vendors, boda drivers, factory staff save securely for their future — backed by labour law protections and retirement benefits.

Public Wealth Protection Act

💥 Corruption kills more jobs than recession. This law creates an open budget tracker, protects whistleblowers, and recovers stolen money to fund worker housing, skilling & health.

⚙️ CORE THEMES: THE WORKER-FIRST TRANSFORMATION AGENDA

🗂 Labour Rights Charter: A phone-accessible, multilingual guide to worker rights. From contract templates to reporting abuses — in Luganda, Runyankore, Swahili, Acholi, and English.

⚖️ Compensation Tribunal: A mobile legal system that delivers justice to injured workers through fast, digital case processing. No middlemen, no delays.

👩‍⚖️ Legal Aid Fund: A free national support system that stations trained paralegals in every district to help workers navigate contracts, abuses, and disputes.

💰 Fair Wages: A living wage benchmark law that adjusts every 2 years to Uganda’s cost of living. Minimum pay must reflect food, housing, transport, and healthcare costs.

🪪 Workers e-ID: A single mobile ID for job history, NHIS, NSSF, tax records and skills. Available via USSD (*217*88#) and mobile app for the digital or feature phone user.

🌍 Workers Portal: Your national job center, built for workers. Legal help, live job listings, AI-powered CV building, and contract comparison — all in one place.

🔗 Smart CBAs: We’ll protect union deals with blockchain. Every agreement signed is stored publicly, tamper-proof — so no employer can break their word in secret.

🛵 Boda Union: Create a digital-first, nationally recognized union for boda boda riders — to regulate prices, demand app fairness, and ensure life insurance.

📋 Informal Labour Bill: For once, vendors, maids, tailors, and freelancers will have rights. This bill will formalize their work, guarantee dispute resolution and benefits.

🛠️ Artisan Accelerator: Tools, machines, smartphones and startup capital. This is a revolving fund for self-employed workers to compete, trade, and export with dignity.

🏥 NHIS: Full coverage under a National Health Insurance Scheme for every worker — especially informal and rural. Treatment should not depend on where or how you work.

🧠 Worker Therapy: We’ll fund trauma centers and mental health units at transport hubs, industrial parks, and schools. Emotional wellbeing is essential, not optional.

🤱 Paid Leave: Maternity, paternity, and compassionate leave must be enforced — both in public and private sectors. No worker should be penalized for being human.

📜 Labour Contracts: Every job that lasts more than 6 months must be under contract. No more handshakes as agreements. Paperwork is protection.

🤖 WorkerBot: Our 24/7 WhatsApp and Telegram chatbot will guide you on your rights, reporting abuse, and accessing union help — instantly and anonymously.

🔐 Digital Rights Act: Employers and apps can’t fire or demote you using hidden algorithms. This act protects workers from invisible exploitation in digital jobs.

🧭 A Step-by-Step Vision for Workers’ Justice

🎯 92% want job security in the digital age

⚖️ Occupational Safety Expansion Bill

“We handle chemicals daily — no gloves, no insurance.” — Sarah, cleaner
🛡️ +2.1M workers to gain legal safety

💰 Minimum Living Wage Bill

Link wages to the real cost of rent, food, and transport. Enforce updates every 2 years by a transparent Wage Commission with worker reps.

“UGX 170k can’t house me and my daughter. We deserve better.” — Moses, petrol station worker
📊 68% of formal workers earn below survival level

🏥 Mental Health for Labour Act

Create stress clinics in high-risk jobs. Public mental health care must reach workers dealing with trauma, exhaustion, and abuse.
