Opposition Jubilates UK Sanctions on Former Uganda Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura.

By Editor


The Leader of Opposition Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba has expressed joy with the sanctions slapped on the ex Inspector General of Police saying people like Gen. Kale Kayihura should serve as an example to other government officials who abuse human rights. Mpuuga, a former Activists for Change member and a leader in the 2011 walk to work protests recounts some of his experience with the police as it was then under the command of Gen. Kayihura.


“You all recall how he operated the notorious Nalufenya prison. So many citizens were tortured under his command. In a democratic dispensation, Gen. Kayihura and his accomplices would by now be in jail,” Mpuuga said in an interview with a local radio station. “Gen. Kayihura should call his colleagues with like minds of using violence on citizens and tell them his traumatic experience. He needs to show them practical lessons of what he is going through at the moment,” Mpuuga added.


Mpuuga further appeals to the government of UK and the international community to impose sanctions on more Museveni government officials that have persistently indulged in human rights abuses.


However, Internal Affairs Minister Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire says these sanctions are meaningless and a total ‘wastage of time’ as Uganda is a ‘sovereign state.’ He says these sanctions do not even directly affect the individuals.

“What’s in these sanctions? Absolutely nothingness but time wastage,” Otafiire said.


Counsel Jet Tumwebaze who is Gen. Kale Kayihura’s lawyer says much as the sanctions have been slapped on his client, there is nothing much he will lose as an individual.


“I want to assure you that Gen. Kale Kayihura is not losing sleep over these sanctions, although he is, of course, concerned. We will engage like we have done in the past, and I can assure you they’ll be toned down. I am not at liberty to discuss what Gen. Kale Kayihura is Planning to do but he is planning to do something. Like I said, he isn’t not losing sleep. He could as well go home and ignore them,” he adds, “These sanctions against General Kale Kayihura are not fresh. It’s the same cocktail of the old bunch of false allegations that are being regurgitated.When allegations by the American group happened in 2018, we did get an engagement with the former US Ambassador here. The sanctions rotate around the allegations of the handling of the suspects during the post-2010 twin bombings.”

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...

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...
