Kayunga District By-Election: Latest updates…

Electoral commission officials have admitted to being behind the pre-ticking of ballot papers which we found in the ballot box at 6:20am, they say it is an order from above” (NTV, 16.12.2021).

Today, it’s revealed that there are pre-ticked ballots and stuffed ballot boxes for this By-Election. The few polling agents able to cover and participate was able to reveal this online. That says it all about what the state planned for this race.

The state security agencies was busy last night arresting opposition activists, NUP polling agents, NUP supporters and journalists in the district. As unknown amount of people was ferried to the Naggalama Police Station. This just shows what extent the state does to win this by-election. They are not even trying to show some sort of modesty here.

The pre-election violence and the usage of state machinery isn’t new. The same with the house-arrest of Bobi Wine for “safety” reasons. As the same old trick and modus operandi. While arresting bodyguards and gardener. Shows, the state is exposing it’s tyranny to world to see.

This is done over a by-election and one districts need for LCV Chairman. That says it all and shows what the state is willing to do. The NRM cannot be popular or have the will of the people. When they are using these means to win. The Yellow isn’t strong, but mediocre and weak. Since, they have to pre-tick ballots, stuff ballot boxes and use the security agencies to stop eyes from watching the polls. That is just seriousness of it all.

We shouldn’t be shocked or surprised, this is what the state does and they have invested the army, police and the whole machinery behind it. Therefore, it would be a disgrace and be humiliating, if the public showed interest for someone else. Peace.

Malawi: The Kalindo arrest shows there is no difference between Chakwera and Mutharika…

These days in Lilongwe or Blantyre should show all Malawians that the Tonse Alliance is no difference, than when President Peter Mutharika was President with his party the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). The coalition of Tonse Alliance promised to be opposite and serve in a new manner. However, the party is delivering the same.

That can be proven by the words of the current day President Lazarus Chakwera, when he was in opposition just two years ago.

The arrest of Honorable Bon Kalindo, who is Member of Parliament for Mulanje South, is a new low for the outgoing Mutharika Administration. Whether or not what the legislator said about Mutharika was an insult is not the issue. The issue is that this idea of arresting any Malawian, not to say anything of one who is a parliamentarian, for merely expressing how they feel about the illogical conduct of Mutharika’s failed government, is primitive, unacceptable, and stupid. In fact, whatever unjust law is cited to empower such a ludicrous idea is equally primitive, unacceptable, and stupid, and will thus be repealed by my government” (…) “I therefore condemn these arrests in the strongest possible terms, and I call for the immediate release of Honorable Bon Kalindo. Furthermore, I call for an immediate stop to all forms of intimidation which this government has been using against its political opponents, including tampering with the security detail of the Vice President, in contempt of court orders. Whether Mutharika likes it or not, no amount of intimidation or arrest will change the fact that Malawians everywhere are readying themselves to fire him and his entire cabinet in 130 days” (Lazarus Chakwera, 11.01.2019).

Because, since November 2021 the same politician and activist has gotten into fire. He has brewed and used the tiredness of the lacking results, and similar actions of the Tonse Alliance. Kalindo have held demonstrations and shown his capacity to gain support. Which is hurting the pride of the leadership and the authority.

MP Bon Kalindo is now behind bars after being charged again. Kalindo was just days ago gotten court orders of bail, but he was re-arrested. So, Chakwera should write ill about his own reign. When he issues and uses the same means as his predecessor.

The preacher, pastor and evangelist is showing what sort of leader he is. His not true to his words, because his actions speaks louder than those. Chakwera isn’t able to reform or change things. As the President is as busy with nepotism, corruption and mismanagement. The President shows that to the public and we can just await new leaks of scandals. If this is tenders or other misuse of resources for the high ranking officials who earned fortunes on wasting government funds.

Kalindo is behind bars. Just like he was during the predecessor. He gotten into trouble for being the same troublemaker. It is special and unique how one man can undress leaders like this. That he can prove how shallow and how little time Chakwera needed to show his true character. His no difference from Mutharika. That’s what is sad and the President doesn’t have the courage or care to be better.

He is arresting an MP for the same means as the former one did. One he attacked and asked for changes for. Now, people should ask for the head of Chakwera. Since his no better than the man he didn’t deem fit. That is clear.

A man that cannot honour his words. How can you expect this man to be a leader? When he cannot even keep his ducks in a row and be consistent. Peace.

What is the last cauterization treatment?

You are red, my mother

Salute to the glorious December revolution martyrs and to all the martyrs of the homeland, and a speedy recovery to the injured and wounded, and the commendable return of the missing.

Greetings to the honorable citizens of our country everywhere, and we single out Darfur, which is bleeding, and we declare our full solidarity with Darfur (you racist and arrogant, the whole country is Darfur). And a special greeting to the honorable citizens of the city of Rafa.

Our return to the city of Refa’a has always been on the lead, as it was the first political seminar after the revolution in it, and it was one of the first cities that resisted the former regime.

Today, it picks up the glove and is taking the lead in restructuring the gathering of professionals in the city of Rafaa, where the solid union cadres, after the fateful October 25 coup, took the initiative to study the reality and lead a wide movement among all the professional sectors in the city, starting from the well-known three no’s which are with great effort from these sectors and by sitting in intensive meetings to arrange papers and define tasks and duties, this evening 12/14/2021 in the city of Rafaa, a secretariat was formed in the city of Rafaa, the gathering of Sudanese professionals, in the city of Rafaa, to contribute with the forces of the living revolution in defeating the military coup and restoring civilian rule. It will also be the tip of the spear in the upcoming union battle by establishing democratic unions that preserve workers’ rights.

The secretariat of the Sudanese Professionals Association in the city of Rafaa announces its full cooperation with the resistance committees and all the forces of the live revolution to overthrow the coup authority. It announces the launch of its revolutionary action in coordination with the aforementioned forces to participate strongly in #مليونية19ديسمبر , which will be clarified later in joint statements with the forces that are preparing the program for participation in Khartoum, as well as running a procession in the city.

And due to the security conditions and the necessity of the stage, the complexities of which you know, with the forces of apostasy and revolutionaries and the security services will not mention any details about the secretariat.

An official website will be established and everything related to the assembly will be issued only by the official spokesperson.

As long as you and your struggles.

Kayunga District By-Election: Shows everything that is wrong with politics these days

The National Resistance Movement and the ruling regime continues to impose itself. Where it uses all of its might, state apparatus and means to silence it’s critics. House-Arresting Robert Kyagulanyi, arresting his bodyguards and even his gardener. While beating Francis Zaake MP to pulp.

The NRM showed up with buses and their black mambas. The whole Presidential convoy and team. Where all there to bash in glory and anticipate a easy victory. Harriet Nakwedde the NUP LCV Candidate for Kayunga District was beaten and hurt as well. This is really unheard of and shows the “multi-party” democracy that NRM preaches about.

The army and the police was all active during the day. It is clear that the NRM does intend to use every trick in their book. The state promised that anyone could enter and campaign in Kayunga district. However, that was big fat lie. As Bobi Wine was without any warrants or charges house-arrested. He wasn’t allowed to leave or participate in Kayunga district. While the Prime Minister Nabbanja and the President could easily pass through the district.

Nobody should care about Andre Nuwonge at this point. His just another pawn by the regime. Today was the final day of campaigns, which ended with tear-gas, state sponsored violence and impounding a sound-truck of the opposition.

While the NRM was busy with scheduled voter-tourism, using security agencies in their favours and trying to silence the opposition. That just shows what is wrong in the Republic. There is no fair playing field and the NRM just vicious attempt to bush-whack everyone else. Not that this is any new or anything. It is just so deliberate and the efforts are clear as day.

We know it’s bad when Zaake MP had to sent to Jinja hospital for treatment. That is just what the Special Forces Command does and what the security agencies are paid to do. There was several of others who was wounded too. Just so the NRM can prove a point in the district.

It is horrific, but this is how Museveni have made the political landscape and this is in his vision. He speaks of unity, but uses the violence against anyone in his path. There is no self-reflection or concern of civlians, but just the continued oppression of the ones who is in his way. Peace.
