PRESIDENT YOWERI MUSEVENI SUMMONS NRM MPs FOR A RETREAT AS HE INSISTS ON AMENDING LAW TO SCRAP BAIL FOR CAPITAL OFFENDERS.

Greetings Ugandans and Africans.

Am entailing this little missive over the proposal by President Museveni to amend the Law on Bail application especially for Murder, Aggravated Rape and Defilement Suspects.

First and foremost, will President Museveni and the MPs start the amendment by repealing the Law that says "Suspects" in Uganda; "Should Be Charged / Produced in Court in Not More Than 48 Hours" and "Suspects remain Innocent Until Proven Guilty by Court" ❓.

Before the NRM MPs move to second this amendment, i beg they should first think twice and ask themselves; 1. How will the impact of this Law be ❓.

2. Who shall be the victims of this Law! Suppose it's you or any of your relatives, how will you feel well knowing you or your arrested relative is completely innocent but is just suffering the fate of bad legislation ❓.

3. How speedy shall the trials of the arrested Capital Offenders be to ensure their innocence is (are) proved by the Courts of Law within short durations from the time (date) of their arrest ❓.

4. Regarding the challenges in number of Judges in the Country and Case Backlogs, will these kinds of Laws cripple the Wheels of "Justice" ❓.

5. How will it be determined that, the person arrested and denied Bail is Prime Suspect who committed the Murder or Rape ?.

6. Assume later on after the Trial, the Person is found to be Innocent and yet he or she has served Jail for some time without commiting the alleged Crime ❓.

7. What would be his or her remedy; Financial Compensation or Nothing ❓.

All these should be put into consideration before taking steps to amend that Law.

To be Continued....

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...

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

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...
