Kenya: Okoa Uchumi! – Okoa Uchumi Rejects Conditional Apologies, Kenya Deserves Accountability, Not “Ifs”, from a Government without conscience! (29.05.2025)








“As the top leader of the Movement. We humbly take responsibility for all mistakes made by ourselves, our agents and representatives. Therefore, we stand here to repent and ask for your forgiveness. Forgiveness especially for the people of Buganda and the whole country. We pray for restoration and favour. Lord restore our favour, that we came with and had with them in the beginning. Bring healing to their hearts. Soften the hardened hearts and reconnect us to the original vision” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Janet Museveni (25.05.2025).
There is to much water under the bridge. The vagueness of the apology and lack of substance make it look like a ploy. This is making themselves look supreme and holy ahead of the 2026 General Elections. That’s why the President and First Lady/Minister asked for an apology.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the inner circle knows what they have done and what sort of record it has. The years have lingered on the party and the President knows what he has done. That’s why this apology is insincere when his making laws and amendments, which are in disconnect with the needs of the nation. He wants to be oppressive and use force on people. That’s why he wants Military Courts and use Law Enforcement to detain dissidents. Therefore, there is little proof of a sort of acts, which will be for the betterment of the Republic.
There is little justice and liberty in the nation. The usage of impunity and militarized society is what the President has brough on the nation. It is a junta government, and the army is involved in every part of government.
These two has built the system and government which we see today. Museveni knows his wrongs and he spelt them out in the past. Just reading his old speeches in contrast to how his governing now. He knows his in the wrong, but he does so to prolong his stay in office.
If we would have believed him. He would have stopped with safe houses, making a duplications of security organizations to monitor, apprehend, kidnap and torture civilians. If he stopped the impunity and keeping citizens on remand on definitely on political prosecutions against civilians who are tied to the opposition. That’s all done by law and by orders of the government.
We could have believed him and his wife if they didn’t torture, drop them off on a random and even disappear people forever. We have seen this government using extra judicial killing and for a reason too. Therefore, this Apology is hallowed. It is a ploy and a plot for them.
When you know this apology isn’t sincere or honest. You know it is just made to make headlines and isn’t from a good place. That’s when you should just dismiss it. The President and First Lady could just drop a word-salad and said practically nothing. Because this here is pointless.
The acts of violence, usage of law enforcement and use of state to apprehend, kidnap, keep people incommunicado and harm people because of their political affiliations are showing their true nature. The usage of the military in the civilian sphere just shows how the President wants rules the Republic. That’s why he wants the arms, the guns and bravado to show his abilities on innocent bystanders or citizens at large.
That’s why their apology and prayers aren’t accepted. The lives are already touched, and it is not like they have tried to rectify the damage they have done. Neither is there any action for a betterment in the future. Instead, they are doubling down and making things worse as things goes. Their son is brutally harming people and gushing out about in public. That’s why the lineage are praising himself for hurting people on their behalf.
This is public knowledge, and this sort of spectacle could have worked in the early years of the Movement and after the bush-war. However, after decades of lack of compassion and acts of care for humanity. This sort of apology is worthless, when every single action they do are contrasting their words. Peace.





“Introducing the Democratic Front (DF), a new political party that is deliberate in bringing freshness to Uganda’s political landscape. It is born out our motherland’s need for meaningful transformation that transcends the tired cycle of recycled ideologies. The comes not a disruption, but a necessity born of the failures of the status quo. It is a home for logical thinkers, progressive minds, and those who believe in political ethics and disciplined service delivery” – Mathias Mpuuga MP (27.05.2025).
The fallout from the National Unity Platform (NUP) couldn’t have been played out more dramatically. Mathias Mpuuga MP couldn’t carry the weight of his action and follow the codes of the party, which he represented. However, he preferred to keep his office and be a renegade against the party that gave him a lifeline and offered him a safe haven. Alas, that wasn’t enough and now he starts yet another journey.
Mpuuga MP is a journey man. He has gone from Action for Change (A4C) to the Democratic Party. He stood beside and was a vocal voice in opposition coalition of The Democratic Alliance (TDA). Later he ditched all of that to become a NUP leader and MP there as well. Mpuuga followed the red wave and secured himself a title, got the trust of being the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament. Meanwhile, he was just finding all ways to eat and do so in secret.
We know he started his journey of leaving the NUP after the 500-million-shilling award. He went ahead and didn’t want to do the righteous thing. Instead, he defied the party and has since been a vocal critic of the party. His fighting the NUP more than he does in regard to the NRM. That is a very useful pawn for the elites and for the ones who wants to weaken the biggest opposition party.
He first did so by launching the Democratic Alliance (DA) with an agreement with Alien Skin. That he did in December 2024 and now in May 2025 ahead of the General Elections of 2026. Mpuuga MP returns with his own party and it’s the Democratic Front. He went from the Democratic Party went to National Unity Platform to the Democratic Alliance, and his final place for now is the Democratic Front.
The thinking this man has any direction or any sort of drive to anywhere. He is decades in and is all about the democratic values. Nevertheless, this man doesn’t want to follow or being guided by others. That’s what his proven in the NUP. We don’t know how he acted within the DP or if he was a renegade there as well and only saw a better option elsewhere.
Now his rebranding the Green Partisan Party (GPP) which been registered since July 19th, 2010. He must have made a deal with Sentongo Muzafalu. The party itself had no candidates listed for the 2021 elections. If that is telling, this means that Mpuuga has bought a briefcase party and rebranded it.
He will now go in the footsteps of Amama Mbabazi. Instead of being a galvanizing figure and someone who didn’t get to upend the un-ceremonial King of the National Resistance Movement. His instead running on his own and with his own imprint. That will a road into a desert and with no hope of finding a proper water source. If he goes really bad, he will be running wild for nothing like Gilbert Bukenya did back in the day.
There is little hope and seemingly the currents isn’t on his side. The DF is bound to fail and be an epic downfall. He will go into nothingness and be an unknown within no time. Mpuuga MP misused his office and ran away from accountability. That’s what we remember him for, and his corrupt behaviour is the one that has tarnished him and destroyed him. He did it all by himself and now he runs on his party.
The DF will be worthless and within time he will feel the pinch. Just like he didn’t create havoc or even any popularity with the Democratic Alliance. He will just fall flat and be yet another one. At least Muntu and others who has started parties, they have had a message and had a platform after leaving the nest. That doesn’t feel sincere in regard to Mpuuga. No, he does this for selfish reasons, and we can all see it coming. Peace.


“The wide popular participation along with the developmental tasks implemented in the past through the Defense Forces will increase in scope and quality with better institutional organization and higher popular inputs. As I had mentioned last year, the framework launched to create a conducive environment in order to stimulate the latent potential and active initiative of our patriotic citizens abroad in our developmental agenda has not yet materialized due to delays in the data collection task that is essential for charting out tangible plans. But the concrete participation of our citizens abroad in our developmental agenda will be launched from the second half of 2025 onwards as a third cohesive pillar to supplement the architecture of the Six Regions and the Defense Forces as outlined above. This configuration does not include projects and investments in various sectors and fields that may be launched at an individual, group or community levels” – President Isaias Afwerki, Independence Day Speech (24.05.2025).
It is a reason why Eritreans flee the Republic and the State of Eritrea. That is because of the lack of freedom and liberty, as they are conscripted for life. The citizens can be called by at any time. The soldiers work on farms and government businesses this has been reported for ages.
The state use of military and conscripts are such levels of oppression, that the state itself takes civilians into custody and force them to be soldiers. That is the levels of state acts towards the citizens. When hearing what the President for Life and the one who doesn’t believe in elections. Speaks like this at the 34th Independence Day Speech, it all makes sense.
The President knows that the only way the nation can develop is by using the forced people to make the nation liveable. This Head of State knows that no other institution really works or has institutional support, because he needs the army, and the army is the answer to everything. That’s why there haven’t been a Parliament and elected officials for decades. That’s why they don’t have others than cronies who is enlarging their pockets.
The ones that are believing PIA or anything sincerity in his speech. The myth and the lack of accuracy needs to be addressed. That’s why his directly speaking more about socio-political struggles or international challenges. This is what most of his speech was about.
However, the one part that stuck out to me was that he is now speaking the silent part out loud. The part that he and his comrades has dismissed. He now says he needs the army, and they are the one that can make the nation develop. That is saying this is a military dictatorship and a junta government. This is the initial gist of this part of the speech.
He said, “implemented through the Defence Force” and that says it all. It isn’t covert or trying to hide it. The Defence Force are now the instrument and the tool of institutionalism in the State. That means the army are a vital and the running organization of the nation.
After all these years… the state of affairs is this dire. There is nowhere to hide now. Peace.

JUDGE
26th May 2025” (Nambi Faridah Kigongo v Luyimbazi Elias Nalukoola and Electoral Commission (Election Petition No. 1 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 58 (26 May 2025)).
It’s not that long ago since March 13th and the Transmission of Results Form of the 14th March of 2025 which announced the winner of the Kawempe North By-Election. The Parliament waited long to swear-in the winner and now the winner of the election must go to the Courts of Appeal to uphold the results. Alas, this is a thwarted one and he cannot legislate in the little minute his in office. As his busier fighting to stay in office than actually doing his duty.
This nullification is just mere action of the state to punish the voters and the opposition party, National Unity Platform (NUP). The National Resistance Movement (NRM) could have won this By-Election. Everyone with a pulse knows this, but the ones that are delusional would consider NRM’s chances in Kawempe North. Therefore, they are foolishly fighting this battle and want another round of polls.
This is the looser calling foul and having the state machinery behind it. They created the violence, the issues surrounding the by-election and they created the chaos, which was this by-election. If the state believes this is the winning formula to nullify it. Well, they are wrong and only shows their misuse of power. They can do this and nullify it, but that doesn’t mean it will be the victor second time around. This is just adding more pain and plights, as if it was worthy of so.
The state and the government are the fools here. They are doing a fool’s errand. Just because it is plausible, doesn’t mean this is a righteous action. As the state should answer for their misgivings, misuse of power and how they wanted to rig this by-election. The misuse of JATT, SFC and army to go after the people in this by-election.
It is just two months since the MP was sworn-in and this is how the system pays off. This is a deliberate act to spend time in the courts and ensure he has to run another campaign. That is just to ensure the NUP, and the MP is busier working with the electorate. Then being a vocal MP or even galvanizing the party. Alas, he is bound to waste more time and just show how the state is rigging the game. This is because the NRM cannot lose face ahead of the 2026 General Election.
Regardless of what you think of the NUP. This is the image of the NRM and what they are willing to do. It is their answer as they lack the charisma, lack the programs and the policies that is edible for the public. The NRM lacks the popularity and lack the popular will to get voters behind it. That’s why the military and security organizations have to be used to spread the message and intimidate the voters to vote on them. Therefore, this is bound to happen, and the state cannot mange the idea of being hated by the public.
It is a waste of energy, time and everything that is surrounding us. To call for another round and have another By-Election in Kawempe North ahead of the General Elections is just ridiculous. If the NRM feels vindicated and such by the Courts. They are really dumb, as they used force and should answer for their sins, but we know that will only happen in the afterlife. They are above the law and untouchable for the moment. Peace.
