Do not drag me into your excitement drama of summoning people over Late Hon Oulanyah’s Poisoning - Minister Baryomunsi Warns Enanga.




In what seems to be an uncoordinated troop movement, the Minister for ICT and National Guidance, Dr.Chris Baryomunsi has blasted police spokesperson Fred Enanga  over what he termed as unprofessionalism when it said it is soon issuing summons to several people over deceased Speaker Jacob Oulanyah poison remarks.


Police spokesperson Fred Enanga on Monday said several people, Baryomunsi inclusive are soon to be summoned to explain their version of story in regards Oulanyah’s death.



“We are therefore summoning all those persons with other causes of death including poisoning for further interview and statement recording. These will include Hon. Godfrey Kiwanda Ssuubi who also mentioned Hon.Chris Baryomunsi, Hon. Gilbert Olanya, Hon. Santa Okot, Hon Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert, mzee Nathan Okori and Bosmic Otim,” Enanga told journalists on Monday.


However, addressing journalists at the Uganda Media Centre on Tuesday, Baryomunsi said Enanga is  unprofessional in the manner he is  doing his work in regards the summons.



“It’s improper to summon a father who has just lost his child. At this rate Enanga will summon the late Jacob Oulanyah. Enanga should stop being excited and shouldn’t drag me into this drama,”Baryomunsi said.


The ICT minister said since according to Enanga, the investigation is focusing on those peddling information claiming Oulanyah had been poisoned, there is no way his name can be mentioned since he never said so.


“In his statement he is saying he is focusing on those who peddling information that Jacob Oulanyah was poisoned. From what I have been saying, am I among those who have been putting forward that information? He should be professional. He should be professional in the way he does his job.”


However, on Monday, the police spokesperson  said Baryomunsi will be summoned by extension after NRM Vice Chairperson for Buganda region, Godfrey Kiwanda said he had told him about the poison claims last year.


Kiwanda on Saturday said where Oulanyah had warned him about telling anyone person about the poison claims, he told the “secret” to Baryomunsi in a bid to find a way forward.


The police spokesperson on Monday said all the accounts claiming Oulanyah had been poisoned will be put to test to prove their allegations which are contrary to the official media report.


“If there is anyone with contrary view, they should provide medical records to that point. We are investigating those with other speculative causes and asking them to substantiate the same. The basis of investigation is on the medical records we have and we want to speak to those with contrary records,”Enanga 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...

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.

However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
