Masindi District RDC Mrs Rose Kirabira Survives Assassination.



Police in Masindi are holding a man who attempted to assassinate the area Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Ms Rose Kirabira in her office on Wednesday evening.

An eyewitness, Mr Kenneth Tumusiime, toldDaily Monitor that a knife-wielding suspect identified as a 38-year-old male resident of Wakiso District reportedly disguised as an investor from Kampala to access Ms Kirabira’s office.

‘‘He came asking for Ms Rose Nalongo Kirabira at the Masindi RDC block claiming to be a local investor. He removed a knife from an envelope and hid it in his waist while entering the RDC’s Office,’’ he narrated.

Mr Tumusime says he watched the suspect from a distance and ‘‘immediately informed the RDC’s secretary and security who searched the suspect and found him with a knife.’’

Upon survival, RDC Kirabira told Daily Monitor that the suspect would have easily killed her.

‘‘When my secretary was alerted that the man had a knife, she ran out and alerted my body guard. The suspect had a knife hidden in the envelope instead of documents. Given opportunity to reach me, he would have killed me silently,’’ she said.

Ms Kirabira expressed concern that similar attacks might continue with intent to eliminate RDCs across the country.

"May be they are targeting all the RDCs in the country. The good news is that God has saved me, but I'm asking the government to handle the suspect with an iron hand so as to get others," she said.

The Albertine Region police spokesperson, Mr Julius Hakiza confirmed the arrest of the suspect who is currently detained at Masindi Central Police Station.

''Yes he was arrested from the RDC’s office. Police has not yet established the cause of the action but we are still investigating,'' Mr Hakiza said.

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.

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...
