ISO Boss Kaka Bagyenda: I Can Not Waste My Time on MPs Accusing us of Torturing People.

The Internal Security Organisation (ISO) Director General Col Frank Kaka Bagyenda has said he cannot waste his time on Members of Parliament accusing his organ of torturing victim.

“In the bush war, I was the intelligence officer of the mobile brigade that captured Kampala but I never tortured anyone. They can vilify me but I want witnesses to come and pin me on torturing them,” Kaka said in an interview this week.

“Torturing suspects is not part of our standard operating procedures and in fact, if it was so, I would have started with Sobbi(Paddy Sserunjogi).”

He further revealed that some MPs are ignorant because it is not their professional area.

“The other day they went to see safe houses, did they see them? If they had come through us, we would have shown them where they (safe houses) are.”

Last week, MPs on Human Rights Committee were denied access to safe houses in Kyengera and Natete by the security organization.

Overtime, MPs had been pestering the Security Minister Gen Elly Tumwine to take them to the said safe houses to ‘see if torture claims from Ugandans are true.’

However, Tumwine insisted and told them that they are not allowed to visit any safe house in Uganda because it’s not their responsibility.

“Yes we have safe houses but you are not allowed to visit them because the law does not allow you. Safe houses operate under the Security Intelligence organisation Act. And we don’t torture people,” Gen. Tumwine said last month.

This prompted the committee chairperson, Buvuma County MP Jennipher Egunyu Nantume to raise the matter on the floor of Parliament, where Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah gave them the green light to proceed with their planned visit and informed them that it’s their right and mandate to visit the safe houses because they have an assignment to finish.

“You have the prerogative and the mandate of this House. You have been given the assignment to go and visit the places. You go and be stopped there at the entrance of suspected safe houses, then another issue will arise. Right now there is nothing we can depend on,” said Oulanyah.

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.

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.
