THE SOURCE OF THE MONEY I RECEIVED WAS FROM HUMAN TRAFFICKING. AM I AT RISK OF LOSING IT ?.

By Editor



Magala left the village because he was tired of poverty and went to get a ‘job’. No one knows what he does or where his money comes from, but he is now a ‘chief’ with lavish apartments that he has even gifted Nambi, his girlfriend. He has even opened a bank account to help his mother, where millions are deposited every two weeks. Last week, police came asking questions about Magala, and rumour now has it that he has been ‘kidnapping’ and selling people’s children outside countries. His girlfriend wants to know if it means that she may lose the nice apartments that he gifted her.  


WHAT  DOES THE LAW SAY? 


What Magala was engaged in is known as human trafficking. The law says this is a serious offence, and if a person is tried and found guilty of this offence, all their properties, money and any other things they got as a result of the human trafficking will be taken away (seized).  


Suppose the property or money has been used up. In that case, Magala will be made to pay the equal value of all that property that is either lost, destroyed, transferred or hidden to stop them from being seized. This means that Magala will have to pay the value of the apartments he gave to Nambi because they are in her name, and she was not part of committing the offence.  

The money on the bank account that Magala opened will be taken if it is proven that it was acquired from human trafficking.


If you are in Uganda and you suspect that you or anyone you know has been trafficked, please contact any of these numbers and you will be given help. +256800199699  /  +256709010853

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...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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.

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...
