First Son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba Denies Knowing and Torturing Writer Kakwenza Rukirabashaija.




Political activist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija has said President Museveni and the first son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba will soon regret playing with a wrong person.


Kawenza made the statement hours after fleeing to exile, through Rwanda to an unknown destination although he is believed to be headed to Germany in Europe.


His lawyer Eron Kiiza, revealed that Kakwenza had chosen to protect his life by fleeing the country by use of road transport through Rwanda then to Europe.


Muhoozi, however, claimed that the fugitive writer is not in Rwanda. He said he had never met nor heard of Kakwenza.


“I don’t know who this young boy who they say was beaten. I never heard of him until the media started talking about him. I have never met him or talked to him and I have no desire to do so. I have just been speaking to President Paul Kagame and he says he is not in Rwanda,” said Muhoozi.


Kakwenza shot back saying the joke is now on Museveni and his son.


“Superannuated dictator Museveni and your pachydermatous curmudgeon son, you touched the wrong person. I promise you that your illegitimate power will collapse soon,” he wrote via his social media platforms.


The leader of the National Unity Platform(NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine said he was very delighted that Kakwenza fled the country safely, adding that he joins thousands of Ugandans in exile in different countries.


“Kakwenza Rukirabashaija is safely out of Uganda, robadob style…my conviction is that they will soon return home, because freedom is in sight. We shall soon be free,” he said.


The critical author who has been battling charges related to offensive communication this week requested court to allow him access to his passport to enable him to travel abroad for medical treatment, a request that was turned down by Dr. Douglas Singiza.


He now joins political activist and poet Dr Stella Nyanzi who fled to Germany this year, citing political persecution.

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...

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.

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...
