Bribe, an Enemy that is Killing the Justice System in Uganda.

By Editor






COURT CLERK ABUBAKER WANTS BRIBE MONEY!

After remitting six hundred thousand Uganda shillings (600,000/=) to pay the bail fees of my lover and his prison mate who lacked local sponsors for their bail, magistrate Owomugisha Sienna released them unconditionally on bail today. She left her chambers and the paperwork with her court clerk called Abubaker. Abubaker refused to deliver the release order because he wants a bribe. My lover, his prison mate, and their comrades (with whom they were arrested at the peaceful protest against rising prices) were all remanded back to Luzira Maximum Security Prison. 


Abubaker, a mere court clerk at Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court wants a bribe because the state prosecutors and the magistrates in his court all eat bribes just like judges, legislators, ministers and the president all eat bloody bribe money.


Shall I reveal how much unreceipted bribe money has so far been paid to the magistrate and state prosecutors assigned to this case alone in order to issue serialised production warrants and grant bail to the original number of 15 university students? I know how much bribe money the magistrate was given, how it was raised and who handed it over. I know how much bribe money the state prosecutors were paid and who handed it over. I also know how many small bonuses Abubaker received in order to oil the fast tracking of these processes.


Abubaker, how can you expect to grow fat on the pain and bribe money of prisoners’ friends? Eat those release papers, Abubaker, if you think they contain proteins and carbohydrates!

By Editor

Again on this 4-December-2023, the same USA has slapped sanctions against Uganda Prisons Commander Johnson Byabashaija over alleged torture and human rights abuses in Prisons across Uganda.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
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...
