We Agreed In The Bush Not To Attack Each Other’s Family; Gen. Saleh, Minister Otafiire Summon Former Minister Nadduli Over Son’s Kidnap.

L-R: Gen. Salim Saleh. Jakana Nadduli and his father Hajji Abdul Nadduli

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s chief advisor and young brother Gen. Salim Saleh and the Internal Affairs Minister Rtd. Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafire have summoned former junior Minister in Charge of General Duties Rtd. Maj. Adbul Nadduli over his son’s kidnap.

Nadduli yesterday told theGrapevine that since his son Sulaiman Jakana Nadduli was kidnapped from his home in Makindye Kampala, he has made several efforts to access him in vain.

He called upon his NRA/NRM bush war comrades for assistance.

“I don’t know those young security officers, when my son was kidnapped, I reached out to my former commander Gen. Saleh and my friend Gen. Otafiire for assistance because they know those young military officers who kidnapped my son for reasons which have not been revealed to me,” Nadduli told this website.

He added that during his phone conversation with Gen. Saleh and Gen. Otafiire, he reminded them of the agreement they made in the bush of not attacking each other’s family and that if his son committed any crime, he would have been summoned to the authorities instead of being kidnapped.

Nadduli told theGrapevine that Gen. Saleh and Gen. Otafiire told him that they understood what he is going through given that he lost 4 children during the 1986 bush war who were fighting on the NRA side which was commanded by President Museveni.

Nadduli revealed that in one of the phone conversation, Gen. Saleh summoned him to a meeting which will be attended by Gen. Otafiire and other security officers at an undisclosed place.

Sources in security told theGrapevine that Jakana Nadduli was arrested over his social media statements where he has been attacking powerful government officials, religious leaders and cultural leaders especially Buganda Kingdom premier Charles Peter Mayiga.

He is also accused of inciting people especially Baganda to attack and fight other tribes.

Nadduli told theGrapevine that his son is currently detained at Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) cells at Naguru, a Kampala suburb.

National Unity Platform Principal Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine pleaded for the immediate and unconditional release of Jakana or take him to Courts of law.

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...

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...

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. The U.S, Europe & China were key target source for leisure tourist who stay longer than business tourists. However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
