This video was posted two weeks ago, but now the report of 3 billion buyout of Beats is finally established. So now its true, Dr. Dre is getting his payoff of the company he started with Jimmy Iovine. The now former Interscope boss. So now it’s time to celebrate Dr. Dre and now we certainly know why! We’ll never see the day of light of the famous – never coming out album: ‘Detox’!

Peace!
NRM-Youth did a silly thing today and it’s scary. The NRM-Youth bowed down for a price of 350,000 UGX and also selling their soul at the same time. Just like the leaders and MPs of the time of Idi Amin did. Therefore the picture above to show how it resembles of a former time. Therefore I will not spend much time, but it is a frightening picture. How he is paying for loyalty.
Three days ago the NRM-Youth leader of Kampala Mr. Adam Luzindana got ousted for supporting Amama Mbabazi for the presidency in 2016. A new interm leader of the chapter became Mr Mark Mugwanya (Ndhaye, 2014).
So that they are kneeling for the boss is scary. Really scary, so we can see the reach of the president of Uganda. He is the sole ruler of the party! An its proving what throwing some money can do to the youth and where the money has come from, we can only guess. Sure it’s one of the reason why the civil service isn’t paid on time, to keep the different parts of the party loyal to the leader Yoweri Museveni. Peace.

Sainsbury’s in the UK say they “offer a huge choice of groceries and products for your home to suit all budgets as well as a great selection of tasty recipes”. But this is so distasteful and flabbergasting. People should seriously boycott the shop for this alone. That the idea of dressing up as the slaves in ‘12 year as a slave’. So here are we in the 21th century where Chiwetel Ejiofor played Solomon Northup who got sold as a slave. I am sure that Steve McQueen the director would be pissed, if he’s not already sold the rights for a clothing-line and earning a slice of it, but even then he should be a bit angry. This is not cool! I can understand if it was a Halloween costume party, but seriously this is the fit as a slave for an ordinary day! Let’s all go Amistad or if we’re really going insane let’s get the style of Schindlers List. We’re all known that the last one is bad taste, extremely bad taste so bad taste that Peter Jackson vomit. I am just mentioning it, because well for me the slave trade and does not see anything romantic in slavery. The use of people and exploiting them for added currency is not hot – it’s on the other side of where it all is disgusting and disrespectful!
So dear people out there, dear Sainsbury’s in the UK. Get sense, please some common sense! This is insane and just terribly wrong. Who had the idea of get the ‘Slave look’ first should seriously get a spanking or at least get their mind correct? Salute to the hustle for trying to squeeze another buck out the movie. But we all know it’s wrong! The good thing is that the store put the display down. That they put it up in the first place is totally wrong! Hope this is the last time somebody does this kind of stunt, a Sainsbury’s spokesman: “We can only apologise. It’s been taken down from the Heyford Hill store and clearly should never have gone up in the first place”(Hooton, 2014).
Peace.

(19.05.2014)
I am pleased to announce on behalf of the leadership of the Uganda Police that we intend to celebrate our centenary anniversary (i.e 100 years in existence) this year. The celebrations will involve commemorative events covering a period of 6 months beginning on 25th May 2014 with the finale, which will mark the highlights on 3rd October 2014 during the Independence anniversary celebrations week.
In fact, we should have celebrated this major historical milestone in 2006 since Uganda Police Force was born on the 25th May 1906 as a constabulary. However, because of understandable reasons, especially the national elections, then later, preparations for CHOGM, and the public order challenges, and then 2011 elections and associated challenges that engaged us. More important, we were still nomadic with no permanent place of abode. Now that we are settled, with a permanent address, the Police Council in its last sitting during the retreat, late last year, decided that we cannot let such an important milestone in the history of the Uganda Police pass unnoticed. Note that the Golden Jubilee of the Uganda Police was celebrated in 1956.
We have reason to hold these celebrations. First of all, that we have traveled this long journey of now 100 years or so, with all the trials and tribulations, and survived is not a small achievement. In fact, in a way it is a celebration of the journey Uganda as a modern state has traveled since the Police is a critical pillar of any state. We have seen a number of states in Africa and in other parts of the world crumble. That we have gone this far is a cause for celebration. Moreover, we have not only survived but, in spite of the challenges we have faced as a country, especially since 1962, we have developed, and there are visible achievements, and more, recently transformation of the Police institution, and policing as a system, away from the repressive type of police introduced by the colonial regime to a pro-people, accountable, disciplined institution, with modern capabilities to deal with modern day crime and security threats.
Secondly, it is to take stock of our achievements as well as our failures, learning lessons from the long and rich experiences of policing in Uganda, especially since 1962, and launching a Rectification campaign aimed at building on our strengths, and eliminating our weaknesses and shortcomings in providing police services to the country.
Thirdly, the celebration will, also, offer an opportunity to reinvigorate the community policing system of policing which is a proactive approach to policing through promotion of partnerships, popular vigilance and problem solving through community policing.
Fourthly, given the continued negative perceptions about the Uganda Police, many times exaggerated or misplaced, we intend to use the celebrations to improve the police image.
Fifthly, we intend to use the celebrations, to rehabilitate the history of the Uganda Police. In particular, we intend to pay tribute, especially to the leaders, and the heroes of the Uganda Police (especially those who lost their lives in the line of duty) and rehabilitate and recognize their contributions, as well as those who along this long journey have contributed significantly to its survival, development and transformation.
Last but not least, we intend to use the celebrations to reunite the Police family: retired and serving officers and personnel, families of fallen and other deceased comrades.
We plan to have commemorative activities throughout the 6 months’ period beginning on the 25th May 2014, when we shall have two activities: a marathon in memory of our national hero, John Akii Bua, and to raise funds to assist Acid Victims; and then the formal launch by the Minster of Internal Affairs of the celebrations at the Serena Inter National conference centre.
We have put in place an organizing committee composed of serving and retired officers. It is chaired by IGP Emeritus Cossy Odomel. He will introduce to you the members of his committee. We plan that the celebrations involve all Police Officers, serving and retired and our families, crime preventers, students, the media and the general public and will take place all over the country. It should be a moment of pride for our country. I, therefore, call upon everybody to embrace the events with enthusiasm.
Gen. Kale Kayihura
Inspector General of Police
16th May 2014
My comment, I’ll be short:
This is just madness and wonders how its worthy of celebrating. Its not like the Police does it duty. They usually take bribes quicker then ever. An with the reason events of little pay to civil servants in Republic of Uganda. We should be suprised that they have the money for this celebration. But that is maybe just my opinion. So that the Ugandan Police Force Kale Kayihura if he can’t see this view and then we’ll see black mambas rolling down the street. Not to talk about the way they treat Opposition party leaders and also the gentle moves on Lord Mayor of Kampala. So they have all the reasons to celebrate their well behaved state policing that NRM love so much. Peace!
There many out there, but this is mine. How I have seen this season and my thoughts on the madness called Barclay’s Premier League with all its magic and thunder! I will do every team with max 5 sentences which entails the thoughts I have about it and after how it ended first to last.
Number one: Manchester City
With Pellegrini in charge, the one manager who hasn’t won a title in Europe wasn’t supposed to surpass the former manager Mancini. The team won the League Cup over Sunderland in 2nd of March. They were having fewer matches and never really on the top, Pellegrini also had a tough spell on the away matches in the start of the season. Nevertheless, with a world-class squad which got better with the players as Negredo, Fernandinho, Jovetic and Demichelis. With a 102 scored goals, controlled play where they achieved victory even with a mismatch’s in the start of the season, then also the important loss at 13. April 2014 this ended 3-2 to Liverpool.
Number two: Liverpool
Brendan Rodgers team which seemed weak compared to other title runner in the Premiership. Getting Sterling, Sturridge and Suarez playing world-class attacking football and at the same time having Henderson to be engine together with the general Gerrard in the midfield of the team. The weakness of the defense with the players who wasn’t up to par with the rest of the Premiership: Kolo Toure, Skretel and Cissokho they got a second place, but also let in 50 goals and scored the magnificent 101! On the 8th February 20 minutes of top class destruction of Arsenal 4-0 and the match ended 5-1, also with the highest class of attacking football of the league this campaign.
Number three: Chelsea
Jose Mourinho in charge of the greatness and succession, Jose became the happy one this time around. A team who is so great that they has no need for the player of the year for two seasons Juan Mata and got Hazard/Willian/Shurrle to play awesome. Mourinho called Wenger a manager of failure, karma hit him and he got not a cup title, league nor further then semi-final in the Champions League. Wonder if Eto’o, Ba and Torres is sure not happy about the happy one, not even Lukaku will return to Stamford Bridge, sure some of the other will leave as well in the next transfer window. I am sure Chelsea will go after Diego Costa and others to secure a title next year.
Number four: Arsenal
Wenger has gotten the team to Champions League yet again. Today they secured the FA Cup with a 3-2 victory over Hull City. The thing missing was a new striker to be a favored guy besides Giroud – Bendtner is the cloth for the Premiership. ὂzil came from Spanish football and his vision made a difference together with fast moving mid-field and the rise of Ramsey made matches like 19th October 2013 Arsenal – Norwich showed class an won 4-1. Looking like contenders before the injuries of Walcott and Ramsey hurt the campaign. Congrats Wenger!
Number five: Everton
Roberto Martinez took over the team after a David Moyes who run the club for 10 years. The team loaned Garth Barry (Manchester City) and Roman Lukaku (Chelsea) they both played important roles for the successful campaign, also Stones and Barkley made great progress an did well considering it all. Everton played better then under Moyes and he made his promise making Everton end over Manchester United, though the well-structured defense with Baines, Jagielka and Distin is maybe the best in the league. Martinez did a fantastic job, enough said!!! The losses in the end of season were the reason why the team didn’t beat Arsenal for the last spot to Champions League.
Number sixth: Tottenham
Andre Villas-Boas (AVB) started as manager after the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid during the summer bought a new squad for 100 million £. The team played so insane at times, the defense was so unorganized that it could have been a team who deserved to be in the drop zone. The chairman cut the cord and hired Tim Sherwood, the lead to Adebayor to settle again in grace and leaving the new guy Soldado to the bricks. The match losses to Liverpool (0-6, 0-5), Manchester City (1-5, 0-6) and Chelsea (0-4), the surprise in this campaign was win over Manchester United at Old Traffod 2-1. Daniel Levy is now shopping his tenth manager for the mighty Spurs, the question is who is next to be axed by Levy?
Number seven: Manchester United
Old Trafford wasn’t the same, the team wasn’t the same, the transfer windows wasn’t the same, nothing was the same Alex Ferguson retired, but David Moyes was the chosen one! Fellaini and Mata was the signings, one magnificent the other one tragic! Old Trafford became a place not to fear anymore; even Swansea beat them there in the FA Cup! Manchester United played with possession for no reason no tiki-taka Barcelona, but the play from 16th meter yard back to the goalie is a total waste of time and talent! The sacking of Moyes had to come, the one who takes over has to buy a new defense and get them to play attacking football again!
Number eight: Southampton
Pochettino the Argentinian who took the team to new heights with using youth players regularly like Shaw, Clyne, Ward-Prowse, Cork, Chambers and Gallagher! The rise of Lallana and Rodriguez is also astonishing, so well playing is the team that players is now in the zone being sold for a tiny fortune. Pochettino is also on the way to Spurs if he doesn’t get assurance of the mission of a building an amazing squad. Southampton has had an amazing season and can be proud!
Number nine: Stoke
Mark Hughes has taken over after Tony Pulis, because the club wanted to play in more attractive way then long-passes to Kenwyne Jones which got exchange for Odiemwingie and also Assidi (On loan from Liverpool). Adam a former Liverpool player either tackled the opponents, If not he played diligently and proved his place in the team. Stoke did not score a lot of goals, but they did get points and play more possession based as wished by both the fans and board. Stoke made a top ten position something Tony Pulis never achieved, big props to Hughes and his ways with nearly the same players change it and made a great difference.
Number ten: Newcastle
The team under Pardew before Christmas was a team looking like a stellar top six. After Christmas without Cabaye they lost nearly everything except the Cardiff match on 3rd of May where they won 3-0 and even when Pardew Glasgow-kissed Hull City player Meyler they won 4-1 at KC Stadium and got a 7 games ban. The also fallout of Ben Arfa who would have been the best player since the sale of Cabaye, but didn’t play squat in the end of the season! NeuCastle didn’t become the stellar candidate and gotten all the way Europe, they got the top ten, but not in a way that made the fans see with pride. So even if they get some new singings and end the loans of Loic Remy (QPR) and Luuk De Jong (Boruissa Møchengladback), need a new striker and a creative midfielder. The defense needs also new energy since Taylor and Coluccini is rumored to be out and has also been out of form.
Number eleven: Crystal Palace
Getting up from Championship and started badly in the premiership with Ian Holloway in charge. They lost 7 matches and won 1 in mid-October was at 19th place. The board didn’t see any structure in the play and hired Tony Pulis, he cleared the squad which was added with 16 new players before the campaign. Pulis in his window got Ledley (Celtic), Dann (Blackburn) and loaned Tom Ince (Blackpool), they all played to part except for Ince. The Palace team got to be a well-structured defense and a team who not only won matches, but surprised Chelsea (1-0) and Liverpool (3-3) which made a difference for the title race, congrats Pulis!
Number twelve: Swansea
A team which played in Euro-League with a limited squad wasn’t up to part in the league at the same time. Michu injured much of the time, but the signing of Wilfried Bony was a great striker who had class both with speed and cold finisher in the box. Michael Laudrup got fired for having too lenient with the squad and except for beating Manchester United at Old Trafford in the League Cup, he didn’t play up to level of last year. Therefore Swansea hired the player Gary Monk to be the intermit manager for the rest of the season and salvage it. The swans picked up the pace and played more than just possession based tiki-taka play, but also win matches.
Number thirteen: West Ham
Sam Allardyce has secured the London team without any issues kept them out the relegation zone. The team didn’t play a fantastic way, Rat was a mistake, Ravel Morrison never got into the team and headed back to QPR. The need for Andy Carroll, Kevin Nolan, Mark Nobel and Downing was showed this year! Hammers didn’t have a real hammer time, but made it well enough and beat Tottenham 3 times this year! The fans are just worried for the slow pace and play of the team when they need more speed and technic to fill the new Olympic stadium in a few year.
Number fourth-teen: Sunderland
A team that was seen as a dead fish in the water with Di Canio in charge and all the new singnings who didn’t show up at any level in the start of the campaign. It got so bad that they hired Gus Poyet to achieve a miracle ending and he did deliver, he got the team to League Cup final where they lost and saved the team from relegation. They had amazing results over 2-1 over Chelsea in April, victory at Old Trafford 1-0 over Manchester United and 2-0 over WBA. Victories that saved the team and the Black Cats, also the run of Wickham in the end of the season was figure that scored the important goals. Poyet made a miracle happen!
Number fifth-teen: Aston Villa
Ricky Lambert former Norwich manager was supposed to make a difference in the team with the new low budgets. Last year the team got saved by Benteke, this year Delp and whatshisname. Back home they played like it was dangerous and havoc place where they would be lost sheep. Whatshisname is Agboniahor and Westwood made sometimes the games interesting, rest of the time played very badly and a reason why they lost 20 matches. If Lambert keeps the job, he has to create magic next year!
Number sixth-teen: Hull City
The team that got promoted last year with Steve Bruce was doomed from the get go. Defense and attacking was made in a way to fit his opponents, either 5 in defense or 3 depending on how it would affect his play. Also the play with two strikers Sagbo and Boyd, the midfielders of Livermore (on-loan from Tottenham) and buying of Huddlestone (Tottenham) made the difference, in the January transfer-window getting Jelavic (Everton) and Long (WBA). Even with the late defeat in the FA Cup against Arsenal, Steve Bruce has achieved something great with this campaign! Salute to Brucey!
Number seventh-teen: West Bromwich Albion
The Birmingham club has delivered reasonable results during recent years, this year it fall a bit apart with the losing strikers like Odiemwingie, Lukuku and Long. Steven Clark got new players but none of them could match the former strikers this was Berahino and Anichebe couldn’t deliver the same kind of force. So Clark had to go and they hired Pepe Mel! The Spaniard didn’t change much and they just made enough ruckus and points to secure the positions and some strange pre-match interviews… Under Clark they one on Old Trafford though 2-1.
Number eight-teen: Norwich
The big buying hoopla with getting Ricky Van Wolfesvinkel and Gary Hooper, Hooper got injured and didn’t fit for the season; Van Wolfesvinkel was the greatest flop of this season. The amazing and great Chris Hughton got fired right before the end of the season when there was no return, and the team didn’t change anything. They had a terrifying end of it all with high end stakes matches and also losing with those close on the table. Neil Adams didn’t make a difference. Alexander Tettey had the goal of the year for this team, but it didn’t save them from the awful relegation and championship to come!
Number nine-teen: Fulham
This year Mohamed Al Fayed got sold to Shahid Khan, first manager of the year was Martin Jol who didn’t make a cut this start of the season, second manager Rene Meulensteen got 75 days, then then the unlucky funny looking German manager Felix Magath got hired to save the team from relegation. Lewis Holtby (on loan from Tottenham), the defender Johnny Heitinga(who wasn’t a worth the free transfer), Kvist, Dempsey(on loan from Seattle Sounders) and the striker Kostantinos Mitroglou (Olympiacos Piraeus) who didn’t even play and he was supposed to be the one take the spot after Berbatov(went to Monaco). Losing 6-0 at KC Stadium with Hull City in 28th December 2013, then also losing 5-0 against Manchester City at Ethiad Stadium in 22th March 2014 and was March the only points winning over Newcastle 1-0. So there was no question if they we’re going down, there was never plan in the play and without Hangeland in the middle of defense and also weakness in the midfield play were horrible even with some greatness of Sidwell and Dejagah. So bye bye and good luck in the championship!
Number twenty: Cardiff City
The welsh team that went up from the championship with Matt Malkay who tried to defensive and secure the tenure in the premiership they we’re on safe ground the owner Tan couldn’t handle his ways! So he fired Malkay who got Caulker, Bellemy, Mutch, Noone and sure got Marshall there! Ole Gunnar Solskjær got hired and didn’t make a change. First playing aggressive and possession based while just being over the relegation zone. The players bought in January weren’t making much except for Dæhli the talent who nobody expected. The loaned players like Zaha and so on didn’t make a change and Kenwyn Jones(Stoke) didn’t do anything, so Cardiff deserved to go down, good luck in the championship in the red color whose supposed blue!
Peace!
The other day we had the issues of ‘ghosts’, but this is the civil servants. Finance Minister Maria Kiwanuka is having a dry spell. The ones who suffer right are the teachers, police officers and health workers who haven’t gotten their salary in a long time (NTV Uganda Footage).
“The decentralisation of the payment system did not alter the mandate of the ministry of Public Service. It is required to submit the final payroll by the 23 [of every month]. The deadline has not been adhered to for various reasons,”Ms Kiwanuka said (Arinaitwe, 2014). Still though even if you had some malfunctions or distractions on the way, still shouldn’t the April pay and other ones disappear into thin air? Not that I am warmongering or a wokoloso, naye I have to ask, how is it possible yet again. At that time the treasury secretary Keith Muhakanizi threaten to hang people over ghosts (Minbane, 2014). So shouldn’t he have a chat with Ms Kiwanuka yesterday?
Even in 2013 in June there was a similar incidence in with the civil service. They have not been paid for two weeks out in June and also no pay of salary in May. At that time it was a public service spokesman Jonas Tumwine: “ …. has been caused by the ongoing cleanup of the payroll” (Kakaire, 2013).
I could have told stories backing down in to the abyss of history, but that wouldn’t matter or make any difference today. Just as the outcome of late pay to the civil servants makes them weak and also the institutions of the government. This must be a wish of the government and the president of Yoweri Museveni and his NRM. So what is next in this tale?
Peace.

To the Peoples of the Original 15
(Kingdoms, Territories and Districts
That formed Uganda at Lancaster)
Dear Sir/Madam!
Olukiiko Lwa Bazzukulu Ba Buganda International is Buganda Kingdom’s worldwide grassroots organization. We are writing in great distress over the signs of the times that proclaim a regime change around the corner. This in Uganda is always a violent process with many lives lost and properties destroyed. Even though this usually happens mostly in Buganda, severe atrocities have been committed in other regions too. For this reason, we are calling to all of you, individually and collectively, to join us in working towards a change management strategy. To start with, we have to go back and look at Uganda’s past and present and decide on the most logical and effective course of action.
In the year 1962, groups of people from the Kingdoms of Buganda, Ankole, Toro and Bunyoro, the Territory of Busoga, Districts of Acholi, Lango, Teso, Bukedi, Bugisu, Kigezi, Karamoja, West Nile, Sebei and Madi went to Lancaster in the United Kingdom to take part in a conference for the formation of the country Uganda. These were the original 15, designated as kingdom, territory, etc., according to their preferences. They represented every individual man and woman from their respective areas. Coerced as the Union was, choosing it over conflicts with our conquerors burdened us with a responsibility towards its member groups. Nevertheless, many who occupied the leadership positions ever since chose to become colonial agents. They did not hesitate to speak and act in ways detrimental to some groups. Their subservient mentality drove them to conduct an aggressive brainwashing program on their people, pushing them to commit crimes with far-reaching consequences. The people’s fault was failure to search for the truth, in some instances ignoring it even when obvious, thus condoning injustice and refusing to think their own thoughts. This is a problem, which we must solve in order to reverse this trend of total destruction threatening us all.
The colonialists and their agents had a plan, to assimilate the different peoples into a common culture at breakneck speed. The intent of this was the extinction of any remnant of indigenous characteristics that would inspire rebellion against the British Empire, over the long term. They called this, breaking eggs to make an omelette. The trouble was that each agent in charge wanted the final product to be a hybrid of his own and the English cultures. The other groups resisted. Buganda being at the center of all this, did so relentlessly. The differences persisted, albeit wrapped in hypocrisy. What would have been natural borderlines in a true and voluntary multicultural union ended up being splits in a dysfunctional unit. Through these cracks, enemies from within and without would take hold and pull to complete the damage. Today, it is a common secret that people feel loyalty only to their Kingdoms, Territory and Districts. At times like this, each of them sits in council discussing their group struggle. They scheme to fight, conquer and oppress others to secure for themselves the lion’s share of what Uganda has to offer, though some just struggle for their survival in the only way that appears possible. However, the past has taught quite a few sharp lessons to those who unreservedly thought and acted as Ugandans. The betrayals, arrogance, lies, theft, insults and gruesome crimes have been a tough drill to forget. As a result, this time around, hoodwinking the public is extremely difficult. Moreover, without trust the prospects of working together look dim. Anyone feigning ignorance of this is either self-seeking or incompetent. Meanwhile we hang between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Here in Buganda, children are murdered in sacrificial rituals, people of all sexes and ages are raped in broad daylight, bludgeoned with iron rods, burnt with acid, whole families butchered and many innocent people locked up in prisons, while frequent poisonings threaten to undo our social fibre. All this has made ours a fertile ground for diseases. There is land grabbing, disinterment of our dead, burning of schools and work places, destruction of shrines, desecration of our norms and traditions, as well as violation of the ecosystem and distortion of our history. Public funds are stolen, health and education are in the gutter, properties robbed, people displaced and our ancestral land auctioned off to foreigners. All these together qualify as high-key systematic genocide of the Baganda. Uganda is on a free-fall descent down into the pit. It is indisputable now that only the truth shall set us free.
All over the world, the Baganda are demonstrating a great will to come to terms with our past and present, as well as take responsibility of our future through brainstorming. We have put together the ideas we have gathered from these meetings, to help boost individual and group endeavours in finding lasting solutions to our common Ugandan problems. From these we have chosen ten redemption points attached to this letter. It has been said that wars begin in the mind, and that is where they must end first. It is imperative that we understand the impossibility of building order on disorder. Uganda was built on a bad foundation for all the wrong reasons. Nevertheless, we are all leaders at different level of society. Fullfilling this responsibility should be high on our list of priorities. We need to start thinking and working seriously about saving lives above everything else. For the lives we save might be our own or those of our loved ones.
Please pass on this letter and the Ten Redemption Points to as many people as you can.
God and Buganda, One Spirit, One Living Heart
Long live the Kabaka of Buganda Ssaabasajja Muwenda Mutebi II

It’s been a long road with ghosts in Uganda. This isn’t really news other than the smear fact of Keith Muhakanizi’s hanging those who civil servants whose been using the system for gaining extra cash instead of paying them. Sure didn’t get the memo of ghost medicine saga of 2008 or all the fun accident of government monies happily ending in MPs or Ministers pockets.
Keith Muhakanizi the newest secretary of treasury. Who is working to eliminated “ghosts”. The plan is to get all the civil servants to write their signature on the work hours. Still that effort isn’t paying off! Keith is saying “if you have ghosts on your payroll: I’ll hang you!” he continues: “I didn’t realize that it was enough ghosts hanging over because central government system over time, nobody would take accountability!” Then Keith showed the world the crazy eyes of leadership (Check the footage of NTV Uganda).
If the reforms will make it as the news reporters say: the four months will be a year. So that the signature scheme to sufficiently stop the “ghost” practice. Chimpreports recently also tells the story of the Ministry of Education is going after “old ghost money” that FUFA is expecting 10% of each sponsorship that the clubs in the Ugandan Super League (USL).
In December 2013 in all year of Shs 70 billion went to ghost prisoners. The incidence of 396 out of 769 names can’t be validated or sound real (Monitor.co.ug).
So that the Keith Muhakanizi has a lot to do, especially since there has happen a lot since August 2013. Therefore his report and works has to anticipate more loads of work and maybe some new reports to make a difference. That’s why as secretary of treasury he got a few papers and “ghosts” to hang! Peace.

Keith Murray released the LP called ‘Rap-Murr-Phobia’ on Koch Records in the year of 2007. The album was produced by the famous Eric Sermon. I really enjoyed the classical sound of this track. The thing is that this is sounds like a tune in mid 90s hip hop and I love it. Enjoy it!
