If anyone still harboured doubts that Uganda under the regime of Yoweri Museveni has become an international laughing stock, the recent utterances of one Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde are one more example confirming it.Speaking last weekend about Rwanda in the state newspaper, New Vision, the malevolent looking man went ahead to level the usual Kampala accusations against Rwanda – “Kayihura was working for Rwanda”, “so Rwanda was invading our sovereignty – which they never prove with evidence.
As a former minister, Tumukunde is known more as an arrogant clown than anything else. As minister in that post for instance he one time, in early 2018 drove to Makindye Barracks to personally slap and torture a Rwandan detainee, Rene Rutagungira whom they had abducted and locked up with no evidence.
This is the gentleman that, in remarks echoed by PML Daily – one of the many Uganda regime misinformation websites – said: “We have taught Rwanda how to respect Uganda.” This being an entitled member of an entitled ethnicity – the ones that have reduced Uganda to a laughing stock for the past 33 years – nothing is surprising that a remark that risible has come from him.
How exactly have “they” “taught Rwanda to respect Uganda?” By harassing, extra legally detaining, or torturing defenseless Rwandan civilians – including old men, pregnant women, and teenage children going to visit their parents, then claiming they have “arrested Rwandan spies”? (Or by arresting many others allegedly for “illegal entry”; when EAC laws on free movement of persons and labor are clear – no citizen of a member state is to be detained for entering another member state?)
Or maybe Tumukunde means being in cahoots with proven terrorist groups bent on destabilizing Rwanda is “punishing that country”? Memo to the gentleman: such activities, and many others of a similar state-sanctioned criminality just show Uganda under Museveni long ago became a rogue regime that respects no laws – local, regional or international.
Laughably, Tumukunde seems to imagine that such statements are an effective campaign pitch for his declared intentions to run for Kampala mayor – an ambition so deluded it beggars the imagination. That is, considering how hated his master’s NRM is in the Ugandan capital, and the central region in general.
But back to the gentleman’s remarks about Rwanda, which he centres on claims that former inspector general of Uganda Police, Kale Kayihura, was “an agent of Rwanda.” It is a sign of what an entitled lot members of Museveni’s cabal are that they can just say whatever they please, whether or not it has any basis in truth – or how injurious it is to other people.
Museveni’s security operatives arrested Kayihura and jailed him in June 2018. He was released on bail 76 days later. In that time, try as hard as they could Uganda’s Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), and Internal Security Organisation (ISO) could not find anything that linked Kayihura to Rwanda.
They searched and ransacked his home and former office, and went through personal property like smartphones and computers for hours. Still they found nothing linking Gen. Kayihura to Rwanda. They have found nothing up to now. That hasn’t stopped Tumukunde from indicting the former top cop in the media, showing he cares nothing for institutions, like the court that found nothing to convict Kayihura with.
This very Tumukunde is the man that then goes on to claim, “The Rwandans have their country; we have ours. My job was to defend Uganda. Let me say without mincing words: anyone operating in this country must respect our institutions, our leadership and our country!”
One cannot help but feel deeply sorry for Ugandans that have to suffer the rule of people as lawless as this. If the fellow has no qualms about pinning someone for an offence that CMI and others could not manage to, what does it say about his mindset that he then drags a sovereign state – which has nothing to do with his petty wrangles with Kayihura – into the mud?
He apparently cares little about such considerations.
He is Lt. Gen. Tumukunde who can utter anything.
After all when has anyone of his kind ever had to be made answerable for anything they say, or do, over the past three decades?
In any case, Rwandan observers say, there is nothing Tumukunde or his boss Museveni can teach Rwandans.
The only thing the Ugandan ruling cabal excels at is corruption of unprecedented levels – like a whole head of state and his foreign minister receiving bribes of US$ 500,000 each from a Chinese fixer – land grabbing, extra-judicial violence against members of the opposition, selling young Ugandans into Arab slavery and the like. All those are documented crimes committed against the state of Uganda, and against Ugandan individuals.
“Other than unbelievable criminality, what else can the likes of Tumukunde, his master, and that whole mafia claim they are good at? Nothing!” said an analyst that preferred anonymity.

On the day the Akasha brothers and their empire were to sink 13,000 kilometres away in the US, shocking revelations emerged that have now placed Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s sister-in-law at the centre of their network.A document filed on Thursday by Geoffrey S Berman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, pulled down the veil on an ugly drug cartel that also sucked in flamboyant politician Stanley Livondo, businessman Ali Punjani and host of other names.
It is a story of a drug empire that expanded and thrived by roping in law enforcement agencies, politicians, judicial officers, prosecutors and influential families. It entails torture and killing of family members and dabbling with the Al Shabab terror group.
A picture emerges of the Akasha’s big but wicked dreams for their empire: An ambitious plan of using established laboratories in Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania to manufacture ephedrine into methamphetamine.
“In pursuing this plan, Baktash (Akasha) set up a meeting with the Ugandan President’s sister-in-law to discuss methods of illegally importing ephedrine into Uganda.”
“Baktash, Ibrahim (Akasha), (Vijaygiri) Goswami, and (Bipin) Panchal attended the meeting, at which the President’s sister-in-law offered to provide a licence to import the ephedrine, two tonnes at a time, in exchange for a percentage of the profits,” it says.
The laboratories plan was hatched by this man – Dr Panchal – who is said to have offered to bring in an Indian manufacturer of ephedrine called Avon Lifesciences (also known as Avon Organics).
It was all systems go for identified labs in Tanzania and Mozambique when Baktash sent his brother-in-law to India to provide Avon with the addresses for shipment of the ephedrine.
Baktash’s brother-in-law arrived, however, to find that the factory had been raided by law enforcement the same day. The Avon factory was consequently shut down, and the Akashas’ Avon-related plans for manufacturing methamphetamine were stalled.
The document says the Akasha’s were so wired in Kenya that they actively obstructed the US extradition request for three years while also dabbling in multi-million shilling worth of drug trade entailing a mandrax manufacturing plants in Zimbabwe.
For decades, they had distributed large quantities of mandrax, cocaine, hashish, heroin and other substances to locations all over the world.
They protected their lucrative drug business with violence, murder and related threats.
The document lays bare the bloody spats that ensued between the Akasha’s and rival drug cartels before their capture in 2017. New details have merged on how the Akasha’s took on two drug rivals — one led by a man only described as David Armstrong and the other by businessman Ali Punjani.
The document names Livondo as an Armstrong associate brave enough to confront Baktash at a shopping mall in Mombasa before Ibrahim intervened, drew his gun and threatened to kill him.
Later, Pinky — Armstrong’s right hand man based in South Africa — was pumped with 32 bullets and a party held at Baktash home to celebrate the feat. In the Punjani attack, the Akasha’s descended on two of his men, one named “Speedy” and the other Tony Sanghani and beat them almost to a pulp.
“Ibrahim beat Sanghani with his fists and his gun. Sanghani suffered serious injuries, went into a coma, and was hospitalised for several weeks.”
In the document, Baktash’s Mombasa home is described as “fortified base of operations.”
Incidentally, the man who sold out the Akasha’s — Vijaygiri Goswami, an Indian drug lord — is described as having been known to them since late 80’s when he worked with the senior Akasha and an another drug trafficker named Muhammad Asif Hafeez in hashish business.
They say when the Senior Akasha was murdered, his son Baktash arranged to have the killers felled on the same street where his father was murdered, exactly one year later.
After the death of their father in 2000, Goswami came in to help in distributing a mandrax precursor chemical, which they referred to as “abba.”
In the documents, the Akashas are said to have told Goswami they had access to 10 tonnes of abba that had been seized by Kenyan law enforcement and which belonged to Armstrong.

“Using proceeds from their mandrax precursor business, the defendants paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to local officials, including prosecutors, judges, politicians, and law enforcement,” they say.
By the time they were nailed in 2017, Ibrahim is said to have been purchasing kilogram quantities of cocaine from Tanzania and distributing it to street users in Malindi, Kenya, making a profit of approximately Sh6 million ($60,000) to Sh7 million ($70,000) per kilogramme.
“Ibrahim told Goswami that he was also bribing government employees at Kenyan government laboratories and warehouses in exchange for ephedrine (which could be used to manufacture methamphetamine),” it adds.
Besides scouting for drugs in Tanzania, Ibrahim was also sweeping clean all the mandrax supplies in Mombasa and Nairobi before transporting it to SA where it fetched higher returns. Before returning to Kenya, he would then purchase stolen cars that he in turn sold in Kenya.
As he was going “continental”, his brother Baktash was going international. In July 2014, Baktash is said to have summoned another drug dealer named Martin Hong all the way from China to Mombasa, seeking out supply of abba at a rate of Sh4 million ($40,000) per tonne.
There would be an additional Sh3 million ($30,000) per tonne if Hong agreed to an exclusive partnership with the Akasha Organisation.
“The Akashas and Goswami decided to have Ibrahim host Hong for a day, taking him to a national park and other tourist attractions in hopes of persuading him to accept their offer.”
Two narcotics transporters named as Daryl and Clement were assisting Baktash in transporting a mandrax-precursor chemical called anthranilic acid from India to Zimbabwe, where it would be manufactured into mandrax tablets.
Their end however came when in March 2014, Baktash and Ibrahim made a new multi-million dollar proposal to Goswami that included a US government agent code-named Rashid.
Confidential source
“Baktash believed he represented a Colombian drug cartel but was in fact a confidential source working for the DEA. Baktash and Ibrahim had enthusiastically agreed to supply Rashid large quantities of heroin for importation into the US.”Meetings were held in Nairobi and Mombasa where secret recordings were made. Baktash even invited his heroin supplier from Pakistan, named Abdul Syed, to Mombasa to see how he was “living like a lion.”
The two Akasha brothers also traveled to Tanzania to meet with heroin suppliers, one named Harriri and the other Mohammed Nasser. At the same time, another drug supplier named Minesh Patel was also brought on board.
The document falls short of calling guns as play toys for the Akashas. At their home in Mombasa, armed security guards wielded both pistols and AK-47 machine guns. They also had hand grenades.
Records adduced in the case capture the Akashas boasting their prowess as drug lords: “Whoever comes, and wherever they come from, (when they) say (our) name, they know we are drug dealers . . .”
The court yesterday pushed their sentencing to August 16 for Baktash and November 8 for Ibrahim.uganda.uk.com
Many Ugandans, when given opportunity to handle, mobilise or process money in anyway can least be trusted.You assign people roles to mobilise or collect money from the public, if you do not put in a place strict control methods, you are bound to be shocked.
The “culture” of temptations where money is involved does not only afflict people at low levels in our society, but it affects most those in more responsible offices. These one’s take any opportunity to take money which is not theirs very seriously. If need be they use paper fraud or use some law to make ends meet.
If we are not careful, not only are local fundraising efforts bound to be disappointed, but better placed people are bound to go as far as eliminating beneficiaries of funds they target to steal.
Our schools can play a role in instilling trust into the young generation, but also strict measures need to be put in place and observed to ensure proper financial management.
Otherwise, there are few people to be trusted where local fundraising is involved.

Hon.Norbert Mao, Museveni’ mole that never was? What kind of Uganda do we need?This is the question lingering in the heads of many Ugandans. Poor or rich, pastor or pagan.
Before giving my thoughts, am reminded of a story of a man who failed to win over a girl but decided to destroy the two. A lesson I learnt from Acholi fireplace.
After competing and failing. He derived a trick. He went to the girl that evening. He said. ” Because of the love I have for you. I must not hide this from you.” He clears his throat! He said ” the guy you are dating has a tail next to his Anus. That tail is the cause of death to all women who marry him.
He went on to the guy and told him ” man, you married a witch. The family are known for witchcraft. If they love you, they may make you a night dancer. But in a long run, you may be sacrificed for blood thirsty serpent!
His tricks worked. Curious as they are off they arranged for a night together. In the bed, each wanted to protect selves, the lady tried to fix her fingers in the guys Anus to feel the tail, the guy strongly removed her hands. Fights errupted, and the whole date ended each knowing that one is a witch! Politics of ” Mole”
The political history of Uganda has been nasty and state making has been the art of war. There has never been peaceful transfer of power. We need it.
In 1986: President Museveni and his military resurrected the hopes of a better, rich, united and peaceful country but killed the opportunity.
All these were muzzled by bad strategy and genocide in the North, and untamed appetite for power.Why has President Museveni made himself the lone king and a benevolent ruler? Because we all play by his game. From his National Resistance, NRM Party to opposition Parties.
The chemical ” Mole” he originated. It’s all about loyalty to him. In the National Resistance Movement ( NRM) and even in security forces, you are either a loyal cadre or a mole else you are rejected or put in Katebe ( jobless).
In opposition, the Forum for Democratic change, FDC that divorced from NRM carried forward the same. You are either loyal to your Party leader or a mole. A case in point was Gen. Mugisha Muntu who almost got to be seen as one. He was painted yellow. Thank God he divorced from FDC and formed Alliance for National Transformation, ANT: the mole thing died since he left FDC.
But both NRM and FDC, mostly Ssuubi group who since Hon Norbert Mao became DP President, the first outsider from Buganda, an Acholi to take Democratic Party ( DP) Presidency. They protested and hell bent not only in destroying Mao but DP.
Hon Betty Nambooze and Hon Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago formed a Ganda group called Ssuubi backing FDC to date. They have spiritedly done their best in painting Hon Norbert Mao a mole. In communication, repetition is very effective. Since Hon Norbert Mao has no Media team to counter this, it’s almost being his identity. Musevenis “mole”.
This is a big success to NRM. Mao has been a thorn in the flesh for NRM and the regime. He is still a big one, fight, ignore him at your own peril. God gave him wisdom.
I asked him to counter these baseless attacks. He said no. ” dek pa Latin kic pe kwok!” Meaning the food God prepared for an orphan never rots! It’s true, the truth will set him free and history will absolve him and condemn baseless blackmailers.
By the way, he is one of the finest God prepared for the world. Who knew Hon Amolo Odinga, a Luo will raise up to that level?
Why NRM is happy, when they sodomized our people, called us Anyanya, maimed us, raped our women and children, conducted a 2 decades smart genocide in North and part of East, no one was there, but Mao. We knew about Mukura hundreds burnt, Buchuro, Achol Pii, Barlonyo massacres by the Maos, Cecilia Ogwal, late Epak of Lango.
It’s only Mao who stood up to name and shame their torment. The current Heros in opposition, very clean, were commissioning our torture from Musevenis quarters. I remember the other MPs, by the way, Byanyima was from Mbarara, they called Mao LRA collaborator.
He stood with us to date. He didn’t betray us. Do you think people of Northern Uganda will show hate or buy into the nonsense of blackmail? No amount of chemicals will let people in the North turn against him who stood up for them. You need him. Many educated elite in Uganda and world over cherish him.
NRM tried many times. I was his legislative assistant in the sixth Parliament and he was very popular. If he wanted money, he would be even prime minister, not a ” mole”. After standing with Ugandans, rejecting NRM, they drew a plan to paint him their own.
Conclusively, of late the blackmail on Hon Norbert Mao and Bwanika of DP bloc has intensified not by NRM but the Baganda Ssuubi camp in FDC. This is because DP bloc is seen as a direct threat to the People government. It will support People power.
The game is divorce DP from people power, paint Mao and Bwanika heads of DP bloc moles, destroy them. After destroying them turn on lone Bobi, you have a better bargain with people power to back Dr Besigye, a smart game in FDC disguised as people government. Mao and Bwanika will gain their place in the hearts of Ugandans after we now know they are. “moles ” that never were!
These are counterproductive and gives President Museveni a leeway to increase his grip and gerrymander power. The petty fights and blackmail among opposition will show intolerance making Museveni appears a better dictator! Ugandans are sick. Like Martin Luther King, said ” unless we unite together as brothers we will die together as fools.
My humble request to opposition: swallow your pride. Unite. Looking at events in the past two years, popularity and trust for change favors Hon Bobi. Let Dr. Besigye and people government, DP bloc, civil society, eminent people, religious people form true people Power.
Set up agenda that after the change, in 5 years, we organize election and build a new inclusive Uganda. In this process and instance, you need moles, the imaginary moles, the disgruntled NRM members. By the way, you are lucky to have :moles’ like Gen Mugisha Muntu who can bring UPDF on the negotiations table. Moles like Hon Muhammad Nssereko who stand with you in Parliament.
All in all, if the stupid fights continue, blackmail, you will give Ugandans a raw deal. Uganda is captured and no one, even PP alone but all together like Animals in the allegorical animal farm, succeeds in freeing the people who have become playthings.

In 1960 to 1962 every where in Uganda the pressure for independence had grown immeasurably strong with bitter struggles among est Ugandans against the whites colonial rule in Uganda.At this time the Ugandans under their leadership by then APOLLO MILTON OBOTE had proved to the colonial imperialist that their demands is beyond cure and far worse than the disease to treat.
The Ugandans got their independence since there is nothing bad and sadder picture than being defeated during the revolution.
This explains why Ugandans always remember Uganda’s independence that was got on the 9th day of October, 2019 by the APOLLO MILTON OBOTE at Kololo airstrip in Kampala from DUKE KENT of Britain.
The smile that most Ugandans has today is because of hard working and the tributes of the great men like APOLLO MILTON OBOTE and other great men and women that made this day possible and hopeful.
For Uganda to achieve its independence many Ugandans shed their blood of humble sons of Ugandans that wanted and wished to see Uganda for all not Uganda we see today under the leadership of H.E Yoweli Kaguta Museveni that is for one family yet they all went to Luwero war Triangle to overthrow the government of APOLLO MILTON OBOTE purposely because they wanted to have a free Uganda that is based on Democratic principles that has turned down by APOLLO MILTON OBOTE after Uganda achieving its independence from Britain.
The Bahima – Balalo that were poppers seems to have had other intentions of grabbing land of innocent Ugandans so that they own land too.
Its not the surprise the Bahima – Balalo owns big acres of land in miles that they grabbed from innocent Ugandans after the war.
Currently in Uganda every Muhima – Balalo is the land grabber, millionaire, thieves, criminal and prostitutes in different and many Bars of the Country.
The Bahima – Balalo according to many sources from people that i talked too from Nakaseke told me that the Bahima – Balalo are such Lazy and lifeless people that are not strong men and women at war fronts.
The Bahima – Balalo never fought any war during the Luwero triangle.
One of my friends Mzei Kyaze Joseph told me that he was among est those people that participated in National Resistance Movement liberation struggle at the age of 28 years.
He told me that he saw every thing during the time of war and how Ugandans were voluntarily joining the NRA revolution to fight against the blood war against APOLLO MILTON OBOTE that had started killing, unlawfully imprisoning innocent Ugandans especially the Baganda including their king and Rwandans that the leadership of Apollo Milton Obote was intimidating, arresting and killing every day using his state mercenaries.
He told me that majority of Baganda and other tribes in Uganda joined the NRA struggle in Luwero not because they had motive of that of Bahima – Balalo that wanted to grab other people’s land and wealth.
He told me that he was patriot like any other Ugandan but not like Bahima – Balalo that have sold off the souls of innocent Ugandans for riches and Gold to the Chines and other foreign imperialist at the interests of innocent Ugandans.
Uganda is one of the Africa’s country that is evicting innocent Ugandans from their ancestral land without compensating them purposely because the Government wish or want to offer such land to the foreigners especially Chines who are racists and discriminatory to Africans and Uganda inclusive in China.
The manner, barbarism, primitive and harassment that the Bahima – Balalo are doing to innocent Ugandans are equal to manners of Chines against Africans in China.
Ugandans must wake up and we liberate our lovely Country Uganda from such foreign imperialist.

Statement of Guidance by DP President Norbert Mao to DP Bloc membersWe have followed with interest the debates going on concerning prospects for a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) bringing together all democracy seeking forces with the aim of ousting the Museveni regime. The DP Bloc has developed a comprehensive framework for such a vehicle and believes it is the only answer to the citizen’s outcry for change. Our people want us to unite and we must not let them down.
The starting point is for all the individual leaders and political parties to get organised. That was the reason we launched the UYD/DP Reunion to reconcile and unify our party. That is why we reached out to the SDP and the PDP and together we have consolidated the DP Bloc. The DP Bloc is based on a clear Memorandum of Understanding developed after amicable talks by the parties. The entire process and the outcome received a unanimous endorsement from the National Executive Committee of the party and the broad membership.
We believe that there’s no alternative to a united front for change. We must also demonstrate that we have learnt the lessons of past attempts at coalition building by the opposition. So far all leaders in the opposition have proclaimed a desire for togetherness. However togetherness will not come by mere rhetoric. Our togetherness must be focused on the overarching and imperative goal of transition of power and must also be a win-win for everyone involved.
We have been having closed door talks with the aim of building a big-tent and all embracing People Power coalition of the willing. As a party we believe that People Power is a clarion call to unify citizens groaning under the whip of a common oppressor. We must all grow to the size of its liberating message, aspiration and promise. We must resist the temptation to subject it to individual aspirations for office at the expense of its long term purpose as a vehicle for liberation.
When the Democratic Party launched the popular campaign known as “Togikwatako” to resist the rape of the constitution we told Ugandans of all walks of life that Togikwatako is an idea whose ownership is collective. We resisted every temptation to create a formal structure for it. The broad masses of Ugandans embraced the campaign. Our Members of Parliament took it a step further by giving it the colour red as an identity signifying our willingness to shed our blood in defence of human rights, democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism.
That is what made Tigikwatako the most potent popular campaign since Walk To Work. We also recall that the moment Walk To Work took shape under a formal organisation, the Museveni regime promptly moved to outlaw the organisation by declaring it an unlawful society. The leaders were targeted with blackmail, bribes and intimidation.
Since the announcement of what is in reality a presidential campaign team (named People Power Coordination Team) by the Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi who is a Presidential Aspirant, there has been uncoordinated statements from those who by all accounts believe in change and most of whom are adherents of Hon. Kyagulanyi who many of us see as a viable presidential candidate.
In his interview aired in 12th June, 2019 by France24 TV, Hon. Kyagulanyi said the following in response to a question about the selection of a joint Opposition Presidential Flag-bearer: “We are yet to arrive at the final decision. We are trying to build synergies. We are bringing together all forces of change so that we go into the race when we are more united than ever before. Yes, we have spoken and we are many contenders. Anyone among us will be chosen and blessed to lead us. And I am saying it that should the team choose me to lead them, I am equally ready to challenge the guy (Mr Museveni).”
The appointment of members and leaders of partner political parties to his presidential campaign team is contrary to this spirit which he articulated in that interview. That move has put many political parties and leaders in an awkward position. One can now imagine a situation where a party like DP, FDC, UPC or JEEMA holding talks with Hon. Kyagulanyi and find that some of their members and leaders are seated behind Kyagulanyi. This picture presents a fait accompli which is contrary to the spirit of building a togetherness based on a transparent and an accountable process.
In his remarks at the launch of his People Power Coordination Team, Kyagulanyi decried the death of institutions at the expense of individualism. He said “Instead of big institutions, in Uganda, we have a big personality, something People Power wants to rectify by returning this power to the people, empowering and strengthening institutions so that they can deliver to the people of Uganda…”
As the DP Bloc we remain committed to a People Power that resonates with everyone and that makes everyone a winner including those fleeing from the ruling party. We also recognised from the start the immense leadership potential of Hon. Kyagulanyi and that is why we have offered him an open platform across the country and will continue to do so. Through this we have built a special bond and a higher level of trust. We believe that reducing the big idea of People Power to a campaign team in pursuit of a presidential ambition threatens cohesiveness and stability within the opposition parties that have built People Power. As DP we note that our members and leaders constitute the backbone of People Power. In fact Kyagulanyi and DP form the heart of People Power.
It is unfortunate that a very emotive debate, most of which is being fuelled by our detractors is raging on Social Media. Until we agree on a mechanisms that respond rapidly to political developments, events, disputes, misunderstandings, and mechanisms that help our people interpret and understand what is going on we shall always have diversionary reactive debates.
It is now obvious that many irrespective of political allegiance envisaged People Power as an Umbrella organisation under whose wings Ugandans would pursue the common goal of ousting the Museveni regime. They never once expected it to be fenced in by any individual.
The turbulence we are witnessing will become even more intense as the regional coordinators take on the task of appointing coordinators for lower level structures. Naturally they will start by recruiting members from their own political parties. In the absence of a collectively agreed People Power framework as a Special Purpose Vehicle, the resultant chaos will breed acrimony and interfere with the internal by political parties to build structures as they head to their delegates conferences. Leaders will have divided loyalties as they have to build People Power structures and also the structures of their parties. They will face the dilemma of having to serve two masters. In the absence of an agreed overarching framework they risk receiving conflicting instructions from their party Headquarters and also from Magere! That is a scenario which will weaken the pursuit of the common cause and will play straight into the manipulative hand of the Museveni regime.
Nevertheless, we believe that we can in a proactive manner and collectively as leaders take the steps to quickly build a People Power that represents a new consensus aimed at opposition unity. As President of DP I have excellent personal relations with Hon. Kyagulanyi and we regularly speak on the idea of a united front. I am also in touch with the FDC, ANT, UPC and JEEMA. This is the time to scale up this process of building a framework that reflect the diversity of our country.
I believe that in due course there will be agreement and we shall select a single flag bearer anchored by top level leaders from the four regions and supported by others from all sub-regions, districts, constituencies, sub counties, parishes and villages. That is the desirable and inclusive People Power structure that we need to build together.
Accordingly I make the following announcements:
1. On Monday 29th July, 2019, we shall hold a meeting of the top leadership of DP together with the Members of Parliament and the Political Action Committee of the DP Bloc to discuss how to scale up coalition talks with other parties and individuals.
2. I have also scheduled a meeting with Hon. Kyagulanyi immediately after the internal meeting of the DP Bloc to discuss our plans for a broader coalition. Thereafter, we shall present to FDC, ANT, UPC, JEEMA the framework for a Special Purpose Vehicle which was announced last week.We recognise the right of everyone to choose to belong or not to belong to an organisation and we defend it vigorously. We also believe that it is the duty of those who belong to an organisation to abide by the rules and values of that organisation. We insist that People Power is an umbrella for change and should be built in an inclusive manner by all stakeholders. We shall issue further directions to our members after the consultative meeting with top leaders and MPs. In the meantime , we don’t expect any of our leaders particularly at the grassroots to deal with any one purporting to be Coordinator of People Power until a formal pact is reached between DP and all other political actors. We cannot allow other people to dig their foundation in our compound without a negotiated settlement properly reached.

“As the speaker of Parliament i have made my conclusion with members of parliament that your construction company is known for doing very substandard works and embezzling state money on government construction projects, therefore however much you threaten me not to terminate your subcontracts worth 96 Billion part of construction of the new chamber of parliament, I vow not to give your fraud construction firm this money”
Country is still suspicious as immediately after Kadaga terminating Salim Saleh’s mega construction contract, Salim Saleh threatened Kadaga with death to the extent that Kadaga under pressure attacks ran to the President for rescue and the President worsened matters by telling Kadaga that he was also tired of Salim Saleh’s mafialism in government business that is why he withdrew Saleh out of the army and government business and dumped him in operation wealth creation worth a trillion in budget to divert Saleh, Salim Saleh told the President that this woman was just a mere civilian whom they groomed but had developed horns that she was stepping beyond her boundaries on many occasions where she blocks resolutions dictated to her by the Central executive committee to Parliament and that something had to be done, the President told Kadaga there is nothing he can do about Saleh, and that Kadaga should just swallow it and give Saleh his subcontracts in the new chamber of parliament construction,
The next thing the country heard was that Kadaga was poisoned and rushed to Nairobi hospital.uganda.uk.com
Do Ugandans have to go back to the bush to end dictatorship regime, tribalism, injustices, corruption, stupid taxes, land theft, evictions of Ugandans from their lands & homes & killing of innocent Ugandans with impunity? Do Ugandans have to go back to the bush to kill millions of Ugandans & create more widows & orphans as Yoweri Museveni did just to overthrow the Obotes regime? Do Ugandans have to create another Genocide in Uganda as Museveni did in luwero, Eastern & northern regions to come into power? Do we have to go to war and kill our fellow Ugandans just to liberate ourselves from captivity? Yoweri Museveni foughtilton Obotes regime just because Obote stole the elections.
But Yoweri Museveni has stolen everything Uganda owned. This regime has committed more crimes & atrocities more than Amins & Obotes regimes combined.
Is Uganda a backward country that to change regimes we have to kill millions of Ugandans?
Whom are we going to kill this time to get democracy & end this self proclaimed rulers against Ugandans will? Can you imagine all African countries had to fight & die for independence from colonialists except Uganda! Because the kabaka in Buganda never believed in violence. And respected the lives of Ugandans. That’s why all wars started after Uganda’s independence. The first president of Uganda never fought any wars or kill Ugandans. Why these dictators don’t respect Ugandans lives?

KIZZA BESIGYE IS JUST ANOTHER DICTATOR.Most people now agree that he must pass on the baton, but it seems the man himself is not even thinking about it.
I expected better from him. I expected him to comply to common sense but he has chosen the Yoweri Museveni way of doing things.
What people do out of power gives us a clear picture of what they’ll do in power. If he was President of the republic, would he give up power? No he wouldn’t
I know the senior people in his party want him to do the Honorable thing. All those you hear saying he is our candidate are not being honest with their thoughts and feelings, they just say that for public consumption. Deep down they want him to step down but coming out would have consequences because democracy in the FDC is just a show.
Do the right thing Kizza Besigye, be different from Yoweri Museveni and stop being like him. Don’t give your party and the country cancer because that is what you are doing. You are doing great harm to your legacy. Is this what you want to be remembered for because people look more at the bad you have done than the good.
Do the right thing.
Pass on the baton.uganda.uk.com
Semujju Nganda was staying in Gayaza in the late 2000 but when time to contest as an MP for Kyadondo came he run away from his ancestral home since Late Karena Njuba was strong and he could not manage him he went to grab a land in Bukasa where he constructed a quick house to claim citizenship of Kira town council and later constructed on a mosque which he cheated the people(moslems) in Bukasa by collecting 5000shs from whoever prays there.
H did not stop there, he again encroached on National Housing land in Kasokoso where he owns a big Resort hotel and gardens. Again he grabbed another land equivalent to two acres in Kiganda where he pretends to construct a hospital claiming to be a private hospital in his names
Even bricks are being late and are just being burnt now after pressure.
From there he fooled Ugandans that his fighting Yoweri Museveni to bring justice
Yoweri Museveni is a thief like Semujju Nganda.You are finishing people’s lives claiming to work for them
Next time we shall post about your Multi billion hardware in Kireka and how you owned it.
You have totally done nothing for Kira Municipality apart from feeding your own stomach and Family,uganda.uk.com
Press Statement
For immediate release
Tuesday July 23, 2019DP Bloc ready for talks with other opposition leaders and parties on a framework for a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
Background
The unhealthy standoff between a repressive regime and a determined population committed to change has created an environment rife with tension and violence. The State, pushed to the wall by a collapsing economy, a divided polity, a military whose allegiance is to an individual despot and a shrinking democratic space, has become extremely intolerant and violent. Instead of engaging with the increasing voices of dissent, the Museveni regime has decided to intimidate the populace into silence over valid questions being raised about the doomed voyage our country is on.Uganda’s biggest problem is dictatorship. All the other problems stem from this one major problem. Due to dictatorship, the government is not accountable. Public resources are abused with reckless abandon. Security forces are there for the protection of the regime instead of protecting the people. This toxic combination has turned Uganda into a Failing State.
In the circumstances, we have a responsibility to step forward with a liberation plan for our country. We need to rescue the Ugandan State from Musevenism. The plan is about dismantling the repressive and predatory military, political and economic machine which props up the regime and also dismantle the mindset of fear and hopelessness in the populace. This intense struggle by the Ugandan masses cannot fail if based on unity of the democracy seeking forces and a concrete program for transition into a Uganda beyond Museveni. The aim of our plan is to restore a renewed sense of ownership of the country to all citizens. The whole idea of Uganda needs to be renegotiated afresh. In short Uganda needs a New Consensus!
All this will not come without a struggle. President Museveni and his junta have no political will to democratise Uganda. Therefore the Democratic Party Bloc, aware that at a time of political crisis, reaching out across the political divide is not only a sign of political maturity but also a commitment to bring out the best in all of us, resolved to develop a framework for a Special Purpose Vehicle. The SPV will be open to all democracy seeking forces and its objective is meaningful Democratic reforms to ensure free and fair elections, an inclusive national dialogue and a new basis for political transition NOW. Elections have degenerated into a meaningless ritual and there’s no reason to pretend that 2021 will be any different unless the rules of engagement are overhauled.
The SPV Framework
For several months the Democratic Party has been working tirelessly to develop a comprehensive framework for a united front to present a viable alternative to the failing State presided over by the NRM. That work is now complete and we wish to announce that we are ready to share this framework with other democracy seeking forces for discussion. It is our expectation that we will agree on a Special Purpose Vehicle to lead the charge for democratic change in our country. Fortunately the DP Bloc has a liberation plan that can form the basis of a coalition for change.Through the SPV, we believe that we can coalesce into a common front that transcends our narrow confines and unleash the power of the people. Under a common banner the contradictions within our ranks will be resolved in order to free us to resolve the primary contradiction between the Museveni regime and the Ugandan masses. Our unity will grow as we struggle for a common cause. Unity will be forged in the crucible of struggle. Our unity will also tap into the unprecedented surge in the political participation of young people.
We shall organise nonviolently in-spite of the repressive and menacing state machinery. We shall stare fearlessly into the barrels of guns as we assert our humanity and citizenship. The writing is on the wall. We are seeing the beginning of the end of the Museveni regime.
So what are the next steps? From here the leadership of the DP Bloc will present this framework of the Special Purpose Vehicle to other top political leaders from other formations who are no doubt aware of our plan to launch the SPV. In addition we will present a detailed Discussion Paper on the things to take into account as we craft a formidable alternative to a dying regime. Intense closed door consultations and discussions will follow to build harmony. It is our expectation that the SPV or a coalition of the willing shall be formally launched before October 2019 and at its helm will be N leadership to a country in crisis.

JANET MUSEVENI RELEASES DEATH FURRY : “AIDA NANTABA, YOU ESCAPED MY WARNING SHOT, LEAVE MY HUSBAND, GET OUT OF UGANDA LIKE JENIFER MUSISI OR ELSE”
“Who are you, to relate with the first family, follow my terms and conditions you will survive, no one stands in my path :
Never communicate with my husband,
Drop out of government, because your job gives you access to the President,
Get out of the country for ten years until Yoweri Museveni forgets you,
Understand that no outsider relates with any member of the first family with out my approval,
Understand that all the women who have crossed the line by relating with my husband like Jenifer Musisi have been given one option get out of government, pack your luggage and leave the country as soon as possible,
Iam a woman of few words “
The stubborn Nantaba known for crying to police that her life is in fear and panic over the death attacks and kidnaps by security operatives from special forces pointing guns at her and threatening her to leave the country of face death and never come close to the President again.uganda.uk.com
Many Ugandans, when given opportunity to handle, mobilise or process money in anyway can least be trusted.
Hon.Norbert Mao, Museveni’ mole that never was? What kind of Uganda do we need?

Statement of Guidance by DP President Norbert Mao to DP Bloc members
“As the speaker of Parliament i have made my conclusion with members of parliament that your construction company is known for doing very substandard works and embezzling state money on government construction projects, therefore however much you threaten me not to terminate your subcontracts worth 96 Billion part of construction of the new chamber of parliament, I vow not to give your fraud construction firm this money”
Do Ugandans have to go back to the bush to end dictatorship regime, tribalism, injustices, corruption, stupid taxes, land theft, evictions of Ugandans from their lands & homes & killing of innocent Ugandans with impunity? 
Meanwhile Today in Parliament Gen Elly Tumwine showed us that this is a Military Government and us window dresses…. After deliberating and condemning him for his behaviour he went out,narrowly missing lynching Maama Cecilia Ogwal in the lobby and finally ASKING us the following questions through the Press:
KIZZA BESIGYE IS JUST ANOTHER DICTATOR.
