Press Release 


Police have arrested Robert Kakooza Kwesiga alias Sanya Tim aged 25 years, a resident of Kasokoso Kireka, Kira Municipality, Wakiso District for attempted suicide.

Kakooza attempted to burn himself in the offices of People People Kamwokya, Central Division Kampala, but police intervened.

Kakooza alleges that on 19/7/2020 while he was on a procession of People Power heading to Kayunga District for the burial of the late Charles Mutyabule, he was arrested and his motorcycle impounded. 

He was later released but the motorcycle remained at Nagalama Police Station. 
He alleges that he tried several times to get back his motorcycle, but a police officer kept on demanding for money.

Kakooza alleges that he informed Mr Fred Nyanzi about his predicament, who promised to help and called him for a meeting today.
When he reached People Power offices, Nyanzi only gave him Shs 40,000 and yet he expected Shs200,000. 

He said he got disappointed with People Power  Movement and he decided to commit suicide. Kakooza got petrol poured on himself and he was about to set himself ablaze. Police recovered a lighter, jacket soaked with petrol among others.

We have instituted a team to investigate the corruption allegations on the part of the police officer.

Kakooza is currently detained at Kira Road Police Station. We want to appeal to the public not to kill themselves because their political party have failed to meet their aspirations.

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

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...
