REIGN OF TERROR IN UGANDA: Kadaga Summons Security Minister Elly Tumwine Over INTERNAL SECURITY ORGANISATION (ISO) Terrorism, Arrests and Torture of Ugandans.

By Editor
Members of Parliament have raised a red flag for Internal Security Organisation [ISO] director Col Kaka Bagyenda for blanketing the country in a reign of terror.
The matter was raised in the house by Hon. Theodore Ssekikubo who asked the minster of Internal Affairs to provide Parliament with an explanation regarding the ISO director, Col (Rtd) Frank Kaka Bagyenda who is accused of arresting, detaining and torturing citizens, among them lawyers, in their line of duty.
He cited the case of prominent lawyer, Patrick Mugisha who was a few  days ago released from an ISO cell without charges.
Mugisha was abducted by plain clothed men in Kabalagala last Wednesday and held captive at a safe house in Kyengera.
CCTV footage showed three plain clothed men leading him out of office into a waiting double cabin pick up.
It is not yet clear why he was arrested but a family member says he confirmed to them that he was being held by Internal Security Organisation in a safe house in Kyengera, Wakiso district.
Laywer Mugisha
Mugisha said that during this time, the Internal Security Organization tried to coerce him to sign a memorandum of understanding with some of his clients, which he refused to do.
Mugisha and another lawyer James Muliira were released on Sunday evening.
MPs in a rage.
Addressing the house on Thursday, Ssekikubo said the Internal Security Organisation has usurped powers of the police force and is carrying out arrest, torture and illegal detention of people around the country.
It was also the Prime Minister’s Question Time where the Premier Ruhakana Rugunda responds to questions from the Members of Parliament.
Tasked on the issue, Rugunda said security agencies were doing all they can to fight crime and insecurity in the country citing CCTV cameras but failed to explain why ISO is presiding over a reign of terror.
Speaker Kadaga who was presiding over plenary, directed the Security minister Gen Elly Tumwine to make a statement in the House next week.
Speaker Kadaga
Tumwine himself is under fire for threatening to shoot two Members of the House.
The state minister for health Sara Opendi told the parliamentary rules, privileges and disciplinary committee that Gen. Elly Tumwine is not only indisciplined but is also a bully.
While appearing before the committee that’s investigating the general’s conduct, Opendi confirmed that the security minister disrespected the Speaker by questioning her authority.
Nakaseke South legislator Hon. Paul Luttamaguzi also cited the case of Nsambya police barracks which has been in a black out for two weeks after Umeme disconnected power.
“What is going on? We demand that the minister informs this House on what is happening,” he wondered.

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

By Editor
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...

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...

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

By Editor
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...
