DID I NOT TELL UGANDANS THAT THEY WILL COME FOR YOU.

Last time they came for someone else, today they have come for me and the next is you.
Still you are doomed to be silent.

Fate is indeed a double crosser....I hear Abdu Kitata's wife, Ninsiima, has filed an application in the High Court for a writ of harbeas corpus ( order to cause the production of Kitata's body before court ) in enforcement of the Constitutional rights and liberties guaranteed to any suspect. Ironically, the Respondents dragged to court by Ninsiima are the CDF Muhoozi and IGP Kayihura!. Currently, Kitatta is being held incommunicado, in a fragrant violation of the 48 hour rule entrenched in the Constitution.
I doubt that every time Kitatta mobilised hoodlums to invade courts to humiliate or intimidate judicial officers and lawyers, for the sole purpose of subverting the due process of the law, it ever occurred to him that he would once find himself in a terrible situation where his remedy lies only in courts of law!...It's a huge lesson to all regime apologists who are obsessed with impunity or one man's rule and would want to kill all state institutions.
That said, Kitata, like any other citizen, ought to be accorded the Constitutional protection he deserves, for he is presumed innocent until proved otherwise.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Parliament Urges Government to Provide Shs 4 Billion to Media Houses to Run Awareness Campaign on Tourism in Uganda.

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
