Marion Atwemerireho one of the enumerators based in Butabika parish Nakawa division wants the president and the speaker of parliament her fellow woman Anita Among to intervene and force UBOS to treat her humanely. This Thursday afternoon she addressed reporters at her rented small home and accused UBOS of ignoring her yet she was bitten by dogs while doing their work.
She says UBOS not only refused to immediately pay the 500,000 she had worked for on time to enable her pay medical bills, they also used their HR officer called Williams to deceive and harass her after she spoke to the media last month about her plight after UBOS had totally ignored and left her to die of her wounds.
She says when she stormed UBOS headquarters they lied to her they had sent money to help her in that emergency but it was eaten after the man they gave it to turned out to be a crook. She told reporters that the UBOS HR managers barked at her as to why she had spoken to reporters which can embarrass the census organizers and the full gov’t of Uganda.
She added that when they promised her good things including paying for all the rabies treatment medical bills, the UBOS workers from HR and PRO’ office convinced her to record a video of herself retracting what she had said before and instead lie that UBOS had been very good to her through her hospital problems.
She was allegedly ordered to circulate that video which she did but UBOS hasn’t kept its word because the HR officer William no longer takes her phone calls and doesn’t answer to her WhatsApp messages also.
She told reporters that Mr. William had talked to her doctors of St. Benedict hospital in Luzira-Kitintale on her phone promising to send the money but he didn’t and that is how the hospital chased her away to go home and rot from there.
She says William told her gov’t things are very bureaucratic and complicated which is why she has to be patient and give UBOS up to like December when the money they promised her for medical bills can be given.
She made it clear that herself and other enumerators are already regretting as to why they ever came up to take up UBOS census jobs because what they expected turned out to be different from what it was.
