Busia Municipality MP Godfrey Macho (NRM) Survives Death as His Bodyguard (a UPDF Officer) was Shot Dead by Fellow Security Operatives.

Hon. Godfrey Macho (NRM, Busia Municipality) has said he narrowly survived death when security operatives shot and killed his army bodyguard, Ivan Kakayi, on Sunday, 15 November 2020 outside a church compound in Busia district.

Macho told his peers during the Thursday, 19 November 2020 sitting that he suspected the shooters were after him because they accosted the passenger – his bodyguard, who had a few minutes prior, taken up his seat by the co-driver side after he had stepped out to attend a church service.

The legislator identified the assailants as Assistant Superintendent of Police, Patrick Javuru and Corporal Chelogoi attached to Police’s Flying Squad Unit and Crime Intelligence respectively.

“I was told by eyewitnesses that during the scuffle, ASP Javuru chased after Private Kakayi who had attempted to run away and shot at him to death,” Macho said.

The MP says that in the days leading up to the incident, he was being trailed by two unknown men on a motorcycle and did not put much thinking into the matter because he trusted his bodyguard.

Macho added that after interacting with both the regional and district Police commanders, he discovered that the District Police Commander had ordered the operation under the impression that the legislator’s car was in the possession of criminals.

“I have been told that some of the officers who are part of the operation have been arrested while others are still at large; this prompted me to write to the Inspector General of Police requesting for protection but in vain,” Macho added.

The MP asked for an explanation from the government for failure to give him protection to this day if indeed the killing of his bodyguard was accidental as claimed by the Police leadership in Busia.

“I cannot sleep at home because I am afraid for my life so I have to keep moving and sleeping in different lodges until I can get protection,” Macho added.

He also noted that the Police declined to issue a statement concerning the circumstances surrounding the death of Kakayi.

The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, following the submission, asked the Minister of Internal Affairs to investigate the killing, apprehend those who perpetrated the crime and to urgently provide protection to Macho.

In response, the finance minister, Hon. Matia Kasaija, holding fort for his colleague, apologised for the incident and pledged to follow up the matter to conclusion.

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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...
