DRAIN THE SWAMP. Brig Sabiiti fires three police officers over desertion March 2018. Brigadier Sabiiti Muzeyi, the newly appointed Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP), has ordered for action to be taken against three police officers who escaped from training at the Kigo marine base. Speaking at the pass out of 609 gazetted officers,  non-commissioned officers and men at Kigo, who have been undergoing a basic security and tactical course, Brigadier Sabiiti said the officers have no place in police after such an action. Sabiiti arrived for his first assignment as the DIGP in a military double cabin pickup truck escorted by bodyguards in Military Police uniform. Sabiiti was previously head of Military Police before his appointment into police.  The officers under question include; Probational Police Constables Kenneth Tamale, Julius Lwabayi and Jerry Openyrwoth. They had been sent from Masaka regional police region but after a few days on the two-month course, they abandoned the training base.   A report from their training supervisor indicates that the trio abandoned their weapons and tried to escape from the base. According to Brig Sabiiti, action will have to be taken against the officers.    "How can a police officer abandon his gun? Any officer who abandons his gun has no place in the force," Sabiiti said.  The pass out was the third since 2017 when Kampala Metropolitan Police began implementing the Police Council resolution for all directorates and departments to have internal basic security management courses. So far 1,100 police personnel have undergone the training which incorporates a tactical training for weapons handling, target shooting, and counter insurgency response among many others.  The Kampala Metropolitan Police commander, Frank Mwesigwa, says  the tactical training, especially target shooting, will help officers avoid cases of stray bullets.  Brigadier Sabiiti says he has been impressed by various aspects of the course which include multi-tasking of officers from all units, mixing of officers from all ranks in the training as well as the tactical aspect of the training. "With the current wave of crime, it's important for every officer to be able to respond even if it is a traffic officer. I'm really impressed and I pledge my support for the continuation of the training," Sabiiti said. He added that all other regions, units and directorates should borrow a leaf from this. Some of the officers taken for the course include cadets who have been away from the training school for a year and a half.    While some were selected to undertake the course for poor performance, others were sent for the course due to lack of fitness and gaining of weight.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
