WHICH PEOPLE DOES THE LAW SAY ARE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS ?.

Mosley wants what all his friends have; Phones with 3 ‘eyes’, faded ‘damaged’ jeans, cool shoes and that nice house they rent on a Kampala hill.

All he has to do, they said, “is to identify and lure young good-looking men and women and they will do the rest”. Mosely found that comment weird and dug deeper only to find that his friends ‘facilitate’ the sale of body organs and other ‘things’. These friends have warned Mosely that he should keep his mouth shut.

While it is true that Mosely has been seeing stories of people disappearing, a ‘ka-voice’ tells him that he can just pretend that he does not know anything and just direct people to meet his friends so that they make up their own minds. Can he do this?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

First, human trafficking is when a person recruits, transports transfers or houses, or even receives people who have been collected so those people can be exploited. It is not just the slaver or the person who harvests organs or records videos who is responsible.

This means that the following people who are involved are all human traffickers:

1. The person who recruits other people who will be exploited

2. The person who transports them from one place to another so they can be exploited (We do not mean a taxi driver who you wave down on the road).

3. The person who receives or gives residence to people so they can be exploited.

4. The person who also pays or receives a payment or benefit to make sure such people agree to be exploited (this can be through threatening, forcing them, lying to them or fraud).

This means that if Mosley directs people to his friends or tricks them into going there, he will have taken part. The law also gives more serious punishments to those who use force to get someone to engage in acts such as prostitution, pornography, sexual exploitation, forced labour, slavery, involuntary servitude, death bondage, forced or arranged marriage.

However, if a person does any of the above acts involving a child, even if they do not use force, it will amount to human trafficking.

4. The person who also pays or receives a payment or benefit to ensure such people agree to be exploited (this can be through threatening, forcing them, lying to them or fraud).

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...

President Museveni Praises Soldiers for Torturing Bobi Wine in Arua on August 2018.

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.

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...
