IEBC: Update on Preparations for the Fresh Presidential Election (21.09.2017)




Clearly, the crisis meeting earlier today between Parliamentary Speaker Rebecca Kadaga and Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah has resulted that even as the nation in the grips of the army and the police. They are still postponing the outcome of the discussion of the motion to lift article 102(b) of the Constitution, the Age Limit bill inside the State legislation.
Just as the Police Officers are rounding up fellow Makerere Students, anti-Constitutional Amendments Supports and other random civilians who have been showing their dissatisfaction with the whole idea.
The Police has busy stopping peaceful demonstrations in Lira, Arua, Bushenyi and all over the place. They have silenced the critiques with house arrests, detained at random and even tear-gassed. Clearly, the state knows better than their citizens do. There are now reports that Patrick Amuriat as he delivered a petition to the Parliament; he was also arrested for his acts against the state. Therefore, no one is whom stand up against the will of the state get free from the oppression today!
Today, I don’t care what the European Union or United States of America has condemn the activity of the army or the police in Uganda, since they are paying to keep the government afloat and support their activity years upon end, and even surprisingly not trying support regime change. Therefore, their concern is not believable at this point of history. Just like in the end of 1980s, no one would believe the concern of Americans who had Mobutu as their puppet in Democratic Republic of Congo. The same can now be said of Museveni in Uganda.
There are even reports that UMEME has trouble with their power-lines as many places been in the black. Some not verified reports that NTV and NBS has been stopped or has no signal.
As the hours has gone and the plenary sitting started, with all the ambushes and silence of demonstrations. The streets of Kampala is silent. Just like the President wants it. He want utter indifference to his continued rule. Not that is continued rule of law, since he is the law. Apparently so, since he has to besiege many vital parts of city and houses of opposition voices. Since he is afraid of their voice as dissidents to his pro-longed rule.
This combined with demonstrations in and about, this with the tear-gas and the detaining of youth at Makerere and soldiers. Clearly, the President is afraid of Coup d’état. If not, why do the man need the army on the steps of the August House? Is he afraid of bogeymen appearing from the deep forest of Mabira to eat his soul?
Also because of the chaos in Parliament, with Opposition singing the National Anthem, the NRM MPs wanting Evelyn Anite possibly disciplined for her comments during the week and all the other mess. Deputy Speaker Oulanyah adjourned the sitting to next week. This being proof of the whole embargoed and botched day. That has not delivered what the NRM Caucus wanted to give their master. Neither what the Opposition wanted with a debate, that proving the vital points of the amendments and the reality that is all to extent and give the President the opportunity to rule for life.
This whole day has proven the ill will of the regime and government, that they have intent, but has to silence anyone into submission. There are no-way back, since the President needs it. His own existence hangs on it weak thread. The demonstrations and clear evidence of the fear of the opposition voices. Since they have been detained and arrested. That shows the fear the state has for these individuals and their power within the communities.
This saga is not over. However, the toils, the tears, the wounds and corrupt police only working directly for the President is even more evident, than ever. It was like this during campaigns and during elections, but now, they are back to same old game. We can just wonder how far they will take it and what sort charges they will put on the people. Peace.

“Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.” – Kwame Nkrumah
Today is a repeat, as yesterday was the obvious elevation of mockery of justice and freedom. Today, is yet another of this in the streets of Kampala and in Uganda. As Members of Parliament, who dissent from the Age-Limit lifting paradigm are behind house arrest. The honorable Francis Mwijukye has his home besieged by the Police. Hon. Mubarak Munywagwa has also been put under house-arrest. As Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago we’re taken from home, latest report on him: “Kampala Lord Mayor Lukwago’s car spotted parked outside Naggalama Police Station where he is currently being detained” (NBS Televison, 21.09.2017).
There been plans of demonstrations going from Makerere to the Parliament. The Military Police has come to guard the area. Certainly it will be students and activist detained, as well as tear-gas. The prospect of peace and free-wild is only in the imagination. KCCA Councilor Doreen Nyanjura has been arrested from Makerere. There been bursting canisters of tear-gas in the halls of Lumumba and Mary Stuart, as the Military Police is besieging the premises. Ingrid Turinawe are also arrested by the Police after demonstrating in the streets.
In other parts of Kampala, the Democratic Party Offices has been sealed off by the Police, therefore, the workers and members of the party is not allowed to leave.
UPDF soldiers has been patrolling Lira town today, by military trucks and pick-ups to gear up the fear the in the town. To settle protest against the age-limit there. There are also demonstrations in Arua. But little knowledge of the outcome
As expected the Police has besieged and blocked the home in Kasangati, Wakiso of Dr. Kizza Besigye, as he is barred from leaving his home. The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Offices has also been sealed off and become besieged by the Police.
Therefore, if you wonder, the political police is all in and about, they are holding the Parliament sealed off to secure the location of the debate. The same police force has put in all people into the Constitutional Square as well. To make sure people cannot walk from there to the Parliament. They are clearly, making all provisions to silence the people and their will to stand up to the Presidency and the NRM.
At City Hall of Kampala, the Police even confiscated 9 T-Shirts that could incite violence. Who knows at this point, it is all political mind-games from the regime. Anything hostile to the lifting is dangerous.
This is just beginning of the day, the Plenary of Parliament hasn’t even started yet. The Oppression and the insane heinous acts of the state is just starting! Peace.

The former United States Congressman Anthony Weiner, the Democratic Party member and former representative we’re today the Acting United States Attorney Joon H. Kim delivered the Government’s Sentencing Memo of his latest criminal case against Weiner. The Document that is delivered before his sentencing on the 25th September 2017. Since the case is so severe and the defendant knew what he did. Therefore, the punishment should be after those standards.
“This is not merely a “sexting” case. (Def. Mem. at 37-43). The defendant did far more than exchange typed words on a lifeless cellphone screen with a faceless stranger. With full knowledge that he was communicating with a real 15-year-old girl, the defendant asked her to engage in sexually explicit conduct via Skype and Snapchat, where her body was on display, and where she was asked to sexually perform for him. (PSR ¶¶ 11, 12). That offense – transmitting obscenity to a minor to induce her to engage in sexually explicit conduct by video chat and photo – is far from mere “sexting.” Weiner’s criminal conduct was very serious, and the sentence imposed should reflect that seriousness”.
This here proves the acts of the politician, who should know better, as he was a member of legislators and also was somebody the public should look up to. Clearly, he lost his way, as he we’re getting engaged in a minor and using his grown-up capacity to lure her. This proves his ways of actually acting in a deprecating way.
“The defendant’s submission repeatedly makes note of the 15-year-old Minor Victim’s various motives for communicating with Weiner and her profit from sharing those communications with the media. While careful not to cast blame on the Minor Victim outright or disclaim ultimate responsibility for his crime, he relies, in part, on the circumstances of their communications in arguing for a sentence of probation. That argument should be rejected, and Weiner should be sentenced for what he did – not what motived the Minor Victim. Weiner, a grown man, a father, and a former lawmaker, willfully and knowingly asked a 15-year-old girl to display her body and engage in sexually explicit conduct for him online. Such conduct warrants a meaningful sentence of incarceration”.
It’s hard to disagree on any part of this legal argument, as the 5-minutes of fame of the minor victim shouldn’t matter, as the politician used his position and knowledge, as well as personal history with these sorts of acts. Shows a pattern, also that he cannot help himself. That he even lures a minor victim to display her body to him online. He should have been more careful and considerate of his acts. As anyone should not go into this sort of acts, as sexually acts with a minor is breaking the law. A Congressman should know this. Even an ordinary citizen knows this. It would be betraying the law, by giving way for possible 5-minutes of fame for the victim, as that makes it acceptable to break the law. That sort of play, makes all crimes okay, as long as it makes you famous. Than, there would be less suits and court motions, whole industries built around the courts would go bankrupt by that argument alone.
Therefore, the possible time for serving behind bars makes sense:
“As Weiner knew full well, the law unequivocally prohibits the online sexual exploitation of minors, no matter the app used to commit the crime or the apparent sophistication or motivation of the young teenager on the other end. The law must be respected to protect other teens from falling prey to the same conduct. The non-custodial sentence that the defendant requests would undercut this principle. A sentence within the range of 21 to 27 months would, by contrast, promote respect for the law and serve as a deterrent to others who are considering a path similar to that trodden by the defendant”.
That Anthony Weiner knew what he was doing is most likely. That he was liking what he was doing, also so. Since he also triggered the minor victim to do despicable acts. What is not surprising is that he trying to get mediocre or weak sentencing, since he as public figure should get lee-way. But the Judges thinks the principals and law should apply to him as anyone else. So that people would respect the rule of law. Also proving the public that this sort of behavior could have you punished.
We can hope that Weiner becomes state property for a long while, as an example of people should prey on minors or teenage girls to do sexually explicit acts. This sort of acts should be punished and done to honor the laws and the principals of justice. That the Southern District of New York wish to apply the sentence between 21 to 27 months, which is over a 1 ½ year or over 2 years in prison for what he did. That sort of example will prove that this far from acceptable and no one should be involved in this. Unless, it is to conceding adults who are doing it. So if Weiner was doing this with an adult woman, who wanted to this, than it would be okay. Not morally as a married man, but from a legal standpoint. Peace.

The Uganda Police Force is acting insane as the plan to lift the Age Limit in the Constitution and the Parliament debate on it. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has gone into high-gear. They have sent their Police Force against Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) who has been voices against the lifting of this article 102(b) and give longer rule of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
President Museveni and his loyal subject Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura has shown his loyalty today, with not only banning all demonstrations against it tomorrow. It continues his trivial pursuit of petty crime, as he has before giving the public provisions, that they have not been allowed to discuss or having debates, except for Members of Parliament. Now, he has taken it further.
The Police has raided the offices today at GLISS (Great Lakes Institute For Strategic Studies), they have taken hostage by the Police for their campaign of “National Dialogue” as Godber Tumushabe, trying to build foundation for a positive engagement from the CSO in media and together with other stakeholders. Clearly, this is a violation of the how the Ugandan Democracy works and how people are supposed to discuss the future of the mastermind and head honcho Museveni.
The Police also besieged Action Aid Offices in Kampala. Where the Police Force came with a Search Warrant in the name of Henry Peter Walya, as the Police claimed that Action Aid International we’re doing “Unlawful Activity” and the offices had “evidence”. The alleged crime is “purpose is to obtain the evidence relating to elicit transfer funds for funding unlawful activities”. Because of this the Police could search the premises and the offices of them. The Staff was interrogated one by one by the Police. The Police also shut down their internet at the Offices. The Police had a total of 60 Police Officers as they besieged the offices.
So again the Police are better to be involved in Political mind-games, than actually solving ordinary crimes. Like they cannot stop the murders of innocent civilians in Entebbe and the area around there. But they have the man-power to besiege CSO’s who question the validity and the reasoning of lifting the age-limit. Really, Museveni’s life is more valued than anything else in Uganda. Since everyone else has just to accept his royal highness, as he was spotted with President Donald Trump today at the United Nations General Assembly. Clearly, the Human Rights and respect of people’s will. Doesn’t matter! Therefore, these two CSO’s could be assaulted by the Police. Instead of them trying to catch real criminals. Peace.





“287 of 296 NRM MPs have voted to support a motion by Raphael Magyezi seeking leave to present a private members bill to lift Age Limit” (The Observer, 20.09.2017).
That National Resistance Movement (NRM), the Movement if you will, have decided to lift the Presidential Age-Limit, because they can and they will. It is as if they are all the servants of the President. They are not there representing their constituents, they are there representing the President. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni now owns them and if he did not know, he knows now. Their blind loyalty to his will and his concern is amazing and sad. That they are trading basic understanding to change laws that benefits him. Soon, they should take away the need of being born in Uganda, so that the law is 100 % correct to the master.
This proves what their value is and what you can expect of them. As the military and army roamed the streets of Kampala, while more innocent lives are taken around Entebbe. Not that anyone are solving these heinous crimes, these mass slaughter of civilians. It is more important while the President is speaking to nearly empty United Nations General Assembly, which the Parliament is securing off- Nile Avenue down to Constitution Square. Clearly, the problems and fatigue of the puppets in the National Assembly is more important than the security of mere civilians.
It is insane, but not shocking. The little value of others than Museveni. No one has the value on his head as Museveni. No one has the bounty of fortune and entourage as him, the levels of advisors, the level of loyal stooges within his party and the MP’s who all nods their heads and agrees with the old-man.
Now we know their values and believes, they are servants and stooges of the puppet-master. They are mere shells of people with independent minds and spirits. They all are there to deliver the service he needs. Now, they we are needed pawns to settle the score. To make sure the Parliament can succeed in giving the almighty, yet another term(s), if needed be. It is not as if that is new. They did it when they changed from two limit for all President before the 2005 Election.
The NRM are as if it was not compromised by them already and a façade of a party, it is now. The evidence is in their actions and in the will. They are not concerning the rule of law or justice for all. However, they are only concerned with their master and their benefactor. They are caring about his rule and his time in the limelight. They are not caring about the effects and the belittlement of the legislation.
We now know that they trade reasonable thinking and justice over a few extra pennies. They are cheap members of parliament, with little or no care for ordinary Ugandans. As they could make way for another decade and even more for Museveni. They want to make sure he can be their president until his last breath. That is not Noble or Just. It is more pathetic and discouraging, that they have so weak spines and will power to muster-up.
The NRM MPs has traded their future, the Republic’s future on the plate and in honor of Museveni. Peace.
