Court Finally Acquits Kawempe MP Ssegirinya Over Inciting Violence But He Will Remain in Jail to Answer for Murder and Terrorism Charges Stemming from Masaka Massacre.

After one year in detention, Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu has cleared embattled Kawempe North MP Muhammad Ssegirinya over inciting violence.

In a ruling delivered on Monday, Kamasanyu ruled that the prosecution failed to prove any of the ingredients of the offence of incitement to violence.

“No reasonable court after directing its mind on the law and the evidence adduced by the prosecution can convict the accused because by the time the prosecution closed its case, it had not proved any of the ingredients of the case. I, accordingly find no prima facie case made out against the accused warranting his defence and he is discharged,” Kamasanyu ruled.

Immediately after the ruling, Ssegirinya’s mother Justine Nakajumba ululated saying, “Owekitibwa omulamuzi mukama akuwe omukisa olw’okuwa omwana wange obwenkanya literally meaning May God bless you your worship for rendering justice to my son,”

Despite his acquittal on the charge, Ssegirinya will remain in jail over charges of murder, attempted murder and terrorism stemming from the machete killings in greater Masaka region last year.

Prosecution alleged that on March 22, 2021 at Mini Price in Kampala City, Ssegirinya carried out unlawful demonstration for purposes of inciting violence.

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...
