The People’s President Airlifted from Moroto amidst Public Protest against his detention; JUST-IN: Moroto Magistrate Court have order Besigye to be detained at Luzira!

Besigye Moroto 16.05.2016

Today the Defiance Campaign went into high-gear, so that the Officials and Police Officers in Moroto had to shoot tear-gas and try to disperse the public who wanted to take Dr. Kizza Besigye into freedom. Something the Police Officers was not accepting. Therefore these reports have shadowed the swearing-in of Members of Parliament, as the Treason Case and the unlawful arrest of Forum for Democratic Change leader have again spoiled the day for the Propagandist National Resistance Movement. Here are the reports!

“Moroto Chief Magistrate, HW Charles Yeteise grants state prayers to transfer Dr Kizza Besigye from Moroto to Luzira Prisons. The court has also transferred Kizza Besigye’s file to the Chief Registrar for reallocation to another court. The application presented by Moroto Resident State Attorney, Gerald Amaro was based of the following grounds:

(1) That the state had intelligence information that some dissidents planned an attack on the Moroto Prison to take away KB;

(2) That the offences against Kizza Besigye were committed between Kampala and Wakiso, so he needed to be in a court near the witnesses in the matter;

(3) That more accused persons to be joined on Kizza Besigye’s file live in Kampala and Wakiso districts; and that Kizza Besigye, being a former presidential candidate deserved to be remanded in a prison with better facilities, and such are only in Luzira.

The court granted the application at about 12:30pm and the accused person was immediately airlifted from Moroto” (NBS TV Uganda, 16.05.2016).

FDC NBS 16.05.2016

“Semujju Nganda (FDC spokesperson): Amama Mbabazi is one of the lawyers headed to Moroto to give legal support to leading opposition figure Dr Kizza Besigye

He has however declined to comment on the mock swearing-in ceremony video: “The matter is before court.” (NBS TV Uganda, 16.05.2016).

“Dr Kizza Besigye the FDC former presidential candidate has been flown in back to Kampala today from Moroto District where he was incarcerated since last week. According to the prisons spokesperson Fred Baine Mayanja the transfer follows a formal request from Besigye’s doctors. Baine says Besigye’s Doctor wrote to the Commissioner General of prisons that his patient be brought closer to him for easy and closer management. However there are contradicting reports that Besigye transfer was only prompted following a protest by angry locals demanding for the release of the FDC strongman and former party presidential flag bearer” (91.3 Capital FM, 16.05.2016).

“JUST IN: Moroto Chief Magistrate court has ordered Dr Kizza Besigye’s transfer from Moroto Government Prisons to Luzira Prison in Kampala. Chief Magistrate Charles Yeteise’s order follows Besigye’s request to be held in Kampala where he allegedly committed the offence” (Northern NewsWire, 16.05.2016).

So now the criminal in the eyes of President Museveni will be sent the majestic prison of Luzira, because he defied the unlawful government that he runs and question his legitimacy; that is an offence in Uganda and therefore he is punished. So now he is airlifted back as the silence of the international world, as they breaches of justice and detaining of Dr. Kizza Besigye. While him and other FDC leaders linger in unlawful arrests. This will be continued as the NRM Regime does whatever it can to silence the opposition and their leaders. Peace.

Committed to preventing crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, and to avoiding impunity for the perpetrators of such crimes, the EU confirms its continuing support for the ICC and its work.

Full cooperation with the ICC is a prerequisite for the Court’s effective functioning.

In accordance with established approach of the EU and its Member States, the EU regrets that Uganda, a State Party of the Court, did not fulfil this week its legal obligation, in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 1593, to execute the arrest warrant against any ICC indictee present in the country.

Bobi Wine’s artist’s that were detained on raid on the Swearing-In of Museveni; Are now finally released for prison; Statement from Bobi Wine after the release!

Bobi Wine 15.05.2016

Firebase Artists of Bobi Wine is now finally released after the silence of some kind of weird normaly returns. The NRM Regime fears so much the Opposition. That a musician that are positive to change and his fellow musicians are detained, and his studio is raided while he was conducting an interview. For those of you who forgot, here is the famous of the reporter who interview Bobi Wine that day. And after that today’s statement after the Release.

Bobi Wines Statement:

“Finally our artists have been released from jail since Thursday morning. We have done post-detention counselling and they are now already in a good mood heading to One Love Beach Busabala for the Carnival. We are musicians not politicians…We are citizens not criminals!

That is enough for now. Peace. 

Lord Mayor Lukwago on the 11th Day of House-Arrest; the Calvary continues with their unlawful arrests of the Opposition!

Lukwago 15.05.2016

Another day in capitivity for an Opposition Leader in Uganda, the unlawful arrest of the Lord Mayor Kampala Erias Lukwago. NRM Regime continues to harass the Opposition and not let them go. Even if certain individuals are free, the freedom is still seens as unlawful and that is adjusted to make sure they are not to vibrant. The arrests have been to silence them and also stop them from mobilizing people around the Swearing-In ceremony of President Museveni; therefore the continued detaining the Opposition is just an assault of the Opposition. The reality is that the FDC is still not a legal unit, as the FDC Headquarter is under siege and even FDC President Gen. Mugisha Muntu was not allowed to enter the Headquarter. Therefore that Erias Lukwago are still under house-arrest proves how much the ruling regime, fear the legitimacy of them.

Lukwago Statement: 

“11th DAY OF HOUSE ARREST. Finally our brothers, Hon. Ssemujju Nganda and Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka have been set free but there is no indication that these policemen are about to vacate my home. However, the psychological torture has today been somehow mitigated by my nieces, Asha Nkambo, Nkambo Aidah and Salma Nkambo,who have brought my ”grandchildren” to have lunch with the family. Have a blessed Sunday, dear friends” (Erias Lukwago, 15.05.2015).

I think that is enough for now. Peace. 

FDC’s Wafula Oguttu on the Eight Day of House-Arrest; also the served letter: “Invitation for an Interview and Statement Recording Vide CID Headquarters E/094/2016” (14.05.2016)

UPF Letter to Wafula Oguttu

Wafula Oguttu Statement: 

“Today is the 8th Day and still l can not breathe. The security forces are still besieging my residence.I do not know why they are doing that because they have not told me anything. Before they respect my constitutional right and tell me the reasons for the illegal incarceration, they have now delivered a police invitation for me to report to one Odongo Mark Paul ,Ag. Deputy SID, CIID Headquarters., tomorrow “Monday at 9.00am without fail for yet another issue, to explain the circumstances under you attend ” …. Dr Besigye ” unlawful swearing in”. Depending on when i get my lawyer, i will certainly be there” (Wafula Oguttu, 15.03.2016).

My two cents: 

They continue to have key-people of the Forum for Democratic Change behind locked doors in their own home or in prison. Detaining Opposition politicans are still under siege and kept silent in their homes. The NRM Regime does not care much for decency or honor. As Wafula Oguttu are invited for “Interview” while he has been hold unlawful under siege in his own home. Seems like the Police Officers should have addressed the situation as this is foolish. The continued harassment of them is just unjust. And nothing about is justice and freedom. This proves to what extent the NRM Regime goes to intimidate the Opposition and keep power. Not in Peace, but with full force of the Security Organizations. Peace.

#SafaricomKPMGScandal: My 2 cents and a chapatti of wandering through the actions of the company who tries to silence the Scandal and the leaked information to the Public!

kenya-press_2721233b

There we’re a KPMG Audit leak of the Safaricom Telecom Company in Kenya, which was released through a blogger called Cyprian.  He found and released article relating to a Draft Report, that he in the latest twist released on Twitter. Why I comment on it, after even releasing it. It is to brighten the days of the corruption hunters and pundits. To prove that not all writers can be bought. You feel me right? Why I say that because money talks, everybody knows that right?

SMS to Cyprian

While this report circulated and even some findings came to the limelight, CEO Bob Collymore we’re able to dodge the release as the blogger had to take down his article and later even send the Blogger direct text message. The blogger got now after this text messages from Red Cross and Inter Religious Council of Kenya. And he have nothing to do with this organizations before, so there are something up with the Safaricom model of the moment.

The Safaricom CEO continues with suspect behavior as even reports of entering Kenyan Media-houses with Police Officers following his tail. When he, the CEO of Safaricom Bob Collymore where he initially threaten them. If they did exposes the maladministration of the company into the society and into the public sphere through the media.

The marked interest for this company is the structure and its importance in Kenya. The Government of Kenya owns 60% of it and the rest is owned by Vodafone, which means 40% of it is in the private interest. The Markie exposure of the company is not only how much having been squash the Audit that we’re unfortunately released, but by what extent the leadership have gone to silence it.

And when a business, a company and their leaders get orders from the “mother-company” to shut the noise, when they order media-houses and threaten them with the Police Officers holding the hands of the CEO; then you know that there are shady people eating the cakes that was not intended to. The Safariacom have even ordered an advertisement operation with ScanGroup for Ksh. 2.1bn and that proves to what extent they goes to bury the legality of the KPMG audit.

Collymore 2016

The Public Petition of Michael Ngugi that states this:

“That it is unfortunate though that Safaricom is in itself a corrupt institution and as evidenced by the forensic audit report from KPGM which examines the period of September 2013 to August 2015. Copy Enclosed. In this report many instances of malpractices have been cited in regards to tender processes, award and general shortcomings of ethical practice and governance as far as supplier selection and management are concerned” (…)”THAT, Safaricom in contravention of their own Procurement  policy as enshrined in their Policies and Procedure manual and use it only selectively to suit selfish interests of some senior staff who collude to defraud the company and deny well deserving Kenyan companies a chance to offer services even after satisfying all the necessary requirements in a tender and emerging victorious. This is an act of impunity and no one in Kenya is above the law, justice must therefore be pursued for the victims for this scheme” (..,)”That I confirm that I am aware that it is not possible to raise any issue regarding Safaricom with any organ, institution or media because Safaricom has corruptly infiltrated all segments of society and used its corporate advising might and huge financial resources to oppress any dissent or complaints”.

Keter Citizen TV

There even been more implications between the Media Houses and the Bob Collymore scandal of the KPMG reports as central men in the media have been bribed to silence or not talk about the company in an unfavorable way, these men are for instance Tom Mshindi (Nation Media Group) and Linus Kaiaki (NTV Kenya). So there are many big fishes who are being fried and more to come as the information getting leaked. These men are not alone, as Safaricom even bribed Citizen TV Kenya, who got Ksh. 50m to not highlight the report on the TV screen on the 9th May of 2016.

As an example of the leaked information that Safaricom wants to silence is the M-Pesa Second Generation agreement we’re the report stated this:

“Safaricom partnered with Huawei to upgrade its M-Pesa mobile money payments system, a decision which we were driven by Michael Joseph (Joseph) the previous Chief Executive Officer. We were informed by Donald Twesiga, the former Head of IT Service Operations (Twesiga) that a procurement process had been initiated which included major international vendors, but Joseph singlehandedly settled on Huawei. We were further informed that although the cost of this project was borne largely by Safaricom, it does not retain exclusive use of intellectual property on the project and similar mobile money projects can be rolled out in other territories without any benefits to Safaricom. We were also informed that there was no evidence of negotiation of prices on this project between Safaricom and Huawei”.

Safaricom 4G Ad

When you have agreements like this and there are nobody earning on it, directly the Safaricom company doesn’t earn on an upgrade, but still does it, without even negotiation of prices or have followed procedure of procurement process, it sends signals of direct corruption between the men who has been behind the agreement between Safaricom and Huwei, that can be the case as the levels of transparent procurement for the company and their rules for doing so. That should be even more important by a significant company of this size; the level of government ownership and the state of importance the M-Pesa mobile money have in Kenya alone. Just when you thought M-Pesa was dirty enough, even Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) have reported in recent days that the profits made through M-Pesa mobile money have gone direct to a Tax-Haven so that the Kenyan Government can’t earn the direct tax money on the revenue. Another way of securing higher yields of profits for the CEO and the board, also second owner of the Company Vodafone!

That the CEO of Safaricom Bob Collymore have denied and claimed that the reports is lies, is expected; a man who is earning so much and have such treasures would not jump on the sword, as he is used to tool with government entities and media as they are waiting for the money and for the services rendered by the Safaricom. With the knowledge of the monies that Safaricom can bring Media-Houses and needed Ad-Revenue, Aga Khan of the Nation Media Group (NMG) would easily be corrupt; that has been showed in the Ugandan General Election period where he was donated land to publish a positive poll in the same manner as the one was delivered towards the 2011 election there. So if Safaricom can come with good money than they surely can silence the media for their cause.

Cyprian Blogger

And as there was a blogger who got the hunch of the report and dropped certain knowledge of what it did say, the Safaricom could use the media they are paying high salaries to and gives lots of advertisement revenue.  

Just to give you an indication on the value of money there earned inside the board of Safaricom, CEO Bob Collymore earned in the last 12 months, the net amount of Ksh. 109.5. So it’s a well-paid position and he has earned a living salary and surely could afford to pay of somebody just with his salary alone. Though I am sure the company coffers have enough to do and to silence the ones that need to be.

As much it is not only the Huawei and Safricom deal that is questionable when comes to Procurement procedure, you have also this one.

M Pesa Started

“In relation to the Fibre Space partnership dated 10th April 2015, the following documents were not provided;

  1. Invoices and payments to card manufacturers in relation to Safaricom purchased cards and purchase orders.
  2. Actual payment patterns with supporting payment documentation.
  3. A documented breakdown of the aggregate revenues to date Safaricom has earned from the partnership and;
  4. Information on the distribution count and location of all the points of sale and cards by Safaricom in relation to the partnership.
  5. A velocity report from the CMS indicating the time taken at each stage of contract drafting was not provided for review.
  6. The CBS reconciliations done by the Credit Control together with the resulting payable refunds for the month of July 2015 provided for review was no approved by HOD credit control” (thaVibe.com, 12.05.2016).

So again you see shade agreement between the Safaricom and co-partnership with Fibre Space. This again shows the agreement done without due diligence or even a review, henceforth done directly instead of through the procurement agreement. This does not say who did what, but certainly something suspicious.

Collymore Profile 2016

That Bob Collymore have to enter a Media House with Police Officers to silence them and think that this can go away, pay for Blogger Awards while the Report is circulating, even I got the papers, and I am miles away from shores and streets of Nairobi. I know the boats are in Mombasa, still the point is that I, far away can get them and paste them on my blog. So the old fashion fear driven policy of Collymore doesn’t work in the digital age. The exposed stays exposed. That is why Wikileaks and Panamapapers can do as they please.

So Safaricom has showed its face is not accountable, transparent or just in their actions as their procurement and agreements are made for the beneficiaries and not after procedure. This is just the ones that have surfaced through the reported pages from the draft report. What more that are under surface is something only Collymore and the rest of Board of Safaricom knows. The Company and owners of Vodafone only knows the whole picture, as the Government also is connected and the ability to silence the media as the Ad Revenue counter the Integrity of the set amount of journalist or editors ethical behavior. Peace.

Press Statement: Rumours of Finance Minister’s arrest are a disaster for SA (15.05.2016)

Pravin Gordhan Rescue

The arrest of the Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, would be a disaster for South Africa. It would cause an economic earthquake and make “9/12” look like a minor economic tremor.

Rumours reported today suggest that the Minister may be arrested, together with eight other officials, to face charges relating to the SARS “rogue unit”.

However, spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority, Luvuyo Mfaku, reportedly claimed no decision has been made to prosecute and that the matter remained under investigation.

The timing of the rumours could not be worse and will not only cause further turmoil in the markets, but also compromise efforts to avoid a ratings downgrade in South Africa.

What is worrying is that authorities are reportedly waiting for the “political go ahead”before ordering the arrest of the Minister, and eight other officials, to face charges relating to the SARS “rogue unit”.

This suggests that the investigation is politically motivated and part of President Jacob Zuma’s fight back campaign and attempt to neuter National Treasury.

The only option, with any hope of avoiding mutually assured destruction, is to appoint a judicial commission of inquiry, in terms of Section 84 of the Constitution, to investigate all the allegations surrounding the so-called SARS “rogue unit”.

Kagame says he will not arrest Bashir (Youtube-Clip)

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame says his Sudanese counterpart Omar-el-Bashir is free to attend the Africa Union Summit scheduled for July in the Rwandan capital Kigali. Kagame made the remarks at the World Economic Forum just a day after President Museveni railed against the world court much to the disappointment of foreign diplomats” (NTV Uganda, 2016).
