HERE COMES THE DESPERATE AND ROGUE UGANDA GOVERNMENT, SILENCING AND THREATENING DISSIDENTS AND ALL SHORTS OF SANITY. Lucky Bosmic Song 'Mac Onywalo Buru' Banned by Government, from Playing in All the Medias there in Uganda. Tuesday 5 June 2018. Security officials have stopped radio stations from playing a song by northern Uganda’s musician Lucky Otim, better known as Bosmic Otim, on ground that its message is “misleading”. The song attacks ministers and Members of Parliament from the sub-region, particularly opposition converts to the ruling NRM.  It became a sensation for its no-holds-barred lyric, which some critics say defies common decency, and the song has gained incomparable airplay on FM radio stations. Titled Mac Onywalo buru, or ‘fire produces ash’, the composition mocks Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah, Land Minister Betty Amongi, her husband and Lira Municipality MP Jimmy Akena, State International Affairs Minister Okello-Oryem, Kitgum Municipality MP Beatrice Anywar and her Kilak counterpart Michael Ocula. It frames the politicians as turncoats and the artiste sings that ex-Presidents from northern Uganda such as Gen Tito Okello Lutwa, Idi Amin and Milton Obote would opt to die afresh if they resurrected to find their protégées hobnobbing with President Museveni.  Minister Okello-Oryem and Jimmy Akena are sons to Gen Lutwa and Obote, respectively. But the minister says he is not “bothered” by the unprovoked attack because he is an accomplished professional, academic and nationalist leader. Other adversely named leaders either declined to comment or could not be reached by press time. Kitgum District Security Committee chaired by Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr William Komakech, sat last Friday and resolved to ban the song on radio stations, discotheques and other public places. “It’s on the grounds of inciting violence that we are stopping the reproduction of more copies of the song,” the RDC said. The Kitgum District Internal Security Officer Lawrence Asiimwe added: “Any radio station found playing this song will be closed since the song is misleading the masses.” Some leaders have proposed that Acholi paramount chief Rwot David Onen Acana mediates between the musician and politicians.  MP Anywar’s aide Felix Ocan said Mr Bosmic should be investigated and penalised, but the artiste quipped: “I was exposing the leaders who run away from people and side with government for their selfish interests, which is wrong for any leader who is authentically elected.” Rights activist Richard Komakech criticised the song’s airplay ban and Mr Sebastian Oguti, a teacher, said the message in the song is “factual”. Some lyrics of the song Soldiers that in the past shot guns to protect Okello Tito in the government (power)… Oryem (Okello) now doesn’t know them, Oryem now doesn’t visit them  Soldiers that in the past sent back Obote in the government  Jimmy) Akena now doesn’t know them...

Latest Song of Lucky Bosmic, 'Mac Onywalo Buru' Banned by Government, from Playing in All the Medias there in Uganda.

Tuesday 5 June 2018.

Security officials have stopped radio stations from playing a song by northern Uganda’s musician Lucky Otim, better known as Bosmic Otim, on ground that its message is “misleading”.
The song attacks ministers and Members of Parliament from the sub-region, particularly opposition converts to the ruling NRM. 
It became a sensation for its no-holds-barred lyric, which some critics say defies common decency, and the song has gained incomparable airplay on FM radio stations.

Titled Mac Onywalo buru, or ‘fire produces ash’, the composition mocks Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah, Land Minister Betty Amongi, her husband and Lira Municipality MP Jimmy Akena, State International Affairs Minister Okello-Oryem, Kitgum Municipality MP Beatrice Anywar and her Kilak counterpart Michael Ocula.

It frames the politicians as turncoats and the artiste sings that ex-Presidents from northern Uganda such as Gen Tito Okello Lutwa, Idi Amin and Milton Obote would opt to die afresh if they resurrected to find their protégées hobnobbing with President Museveni. 
Minister Okello-Oryem and Jimmy Akena are sons to Gen Lutwa and Obote, respectively.
But the minister says he is not “bothered” by the unprovoked attack because he is an accomplished professional, academic and nationalist leader.
Other adversely named leaders either declined to comment or could not be reached by press time.

Kitgum District Security Committee chaired by Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr William Komakech, sat last Friday and resolved to ban the song on radio stations, discotheques and other public places.
“It’s on the grounds of inciting violence that we are stopping the reproduction of more copies of the song,” the RDC said.
The Kitgum District Internal Security Officer Lawrence Asiimwe added: “Any radio station found playing this song will be closed since the song is misleading the masses.”

Some leaders have proposed that Acholi paramount chief Rwot David Onen Acana mediates between the musician and politicians. 
MP Anywar’s aide Felix Ocan said Mr Bosmic should be investigated and penalised, but the artiste quipped:
“I was exposing the leaders who run away from people and side with government for their selfish interests, which is wrong for any leader who is authentically elected.”
Rights activist Richard Komakech criticised the song’s airplay ban and Mr Sebastian Oguti, a teacher, said the message in the song is “factual”.

Some lyrics of the song

Soldiers that in the past shot guns to protect Okello Tito in the government (power)…
Oryem (Okello) now doesn’t know them, Oryem now doesn’t visit them 
Soldiers that in the past sent back Obote in the government 
Jimmy) Akena now doesn’t know them...
When Obote was in exile in Tanzania Akena did not even visit them
If Tito Okello could resurrect, he would see the behaviour of Oryem-Okello with President Museveni

Lutwa would just pick up a rope and hang himself… die twice
If only Obote can resurrect and come out, 
And see the actions of Akena and (wife Betty) Amongi
The issue of our land, Obote would just... hang himself

Chorus 
Fire gave birth to ashes
The children of our past great leaders have turned to fight their tribe
Fire gave birth to ashes
I say fire gave birth to ashes….
Instead of turning to fight the outsiders, you are instead fighting your own tribe.

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...
