U.S. Senate Committe of Finance letter to DHS on Trump Resorts (14.09.2017)

My Letter to Evelyn Anite: If you need the army to amend the constitution, maybe you shouldn’t do it!

Dear Evelyn Anite!

I write to you in haste, seems like you have been forceful and aggressive. You need to calm down and take little soda. Seems like you need to sit under a tree and read a book. Maybe even two, that can open your mind and perspective.

Your the State Minster for Privatisation and Investment, Evelyn Anite, I have to first quote your own words. Since they are so rare and proven your weird solution to get the Constitution amended to fit the life of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

Here is your own statements!

You cannot intimidate a ruling party. For them they are looking for support, but we are not. We are the party in government; we have the support of the magye (military)” (…) “We have 265 members who have supported this bill. We have the numbers; we have the people; this is the battle of the brain” (…) “We heard they are threatening to beat us; we shall not beat them physically but on the floor of the house. But if the worse comes to worst; we are not going to the gym. They should know that we are the ones in charge. If they cannot outsmart us, they should shut up and wait for Ugandans to decide” (…) “You cannot tell me ‘togikwatako,’ when that is my job. So, you are asking me not to do my job? We shall amend that constitution! If we want to do amend it 10 times we shall do it” (Waswa, 2017).

Seems like you Anite wants to misuse the army in favor of a political party and their agenda in Parliament. That you as a State Minister is saying, that the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) will take brigades and military into parliament. Shut the doors and say, unless you enforce this law, we will keep all of your honorable Members of Parliament (MPs) hostage until the law passes in favor of the President.

It seems like you Anite, who already are an MP, in a republic, which is militarized already. The President wear military fatigue to Parliament when they had the last Budget reading on the 9th June 2017 at the International Conference Centre at Serena Hotel. So, it’s not like NRM are far away from the military. In the middle of the campaigning, President Museveni took a break and went on the shooting field. Showing his force in and power to the public. Clearly, this isn’t enough for you. That the President uses his army as favors for his fellow Commander-In-Chief in the likes of South Sudan and even Equatorial Guinea.

Hon. Anite, I understand that you have no valid reasoning for lifting the Article 102 (b), when you have to use the army to fight your battles in the Parliament. That your struggling with finding proper solutions and also arguments to continue the Presidency. You are doing the President his handy work and trying to show loyalty. With talking like him, that he will kill and get rid of the opposition.

But if you think this is the way of enforcing rule of law and enact amendments, you need some serious counseling. You need some people around Anite, that can guide you and make you understand how a Parliament supposed to work. Unless you want to act like military leader, instead of being a part of the National Assembly, where you make the laws and regulations for all Ugandans.

Seriously, you should ask for a paycheck and envelope from President Museveni. Since, you are doing his work and for his continued Presidency. That you are clearly misguided and misunderstands the role of the army and the Parliament. Clearly, you want a law to be voted through the Parliament, you need something else than the army. Maybe a consensus and public support for the possible bill. Not spread fear of guns and ammunition. Unless, you want a coup d’etat!

Hon. Anite, is that what you wanted, take hostage of the Parliament and enforce the law. Instead of an ordinary vote of the possible motion and amendment. Have possible Parliamentary work, as they have readings of the laws, and the Parliament has to PASS them; so they can enforce the laws all in the republic afterwards. So if the Honorable Anite wants something passed, it should follow protocol and procedure so that the bill could be enacted.

Evenlyn Anite, you should know this and should work so the Amendment could be passed if you believed it. Anite don’t need the army to get a law passed, in Uganda you just need President Museveni’s approval. This law is fitting his paradigm and vision. So, it should be no problem, since the NRM MPs are already trying to find new ways of being loyal to Museveni.

Anite, you should never need the Army to pass a law and if you do, then the MPs and Parliament is front. Is that what you saying? That your ruling party and ruling regime should not need to use the army in this sort of activity. The majority of the parliament should easily get it done, but still you have to spread fear and wishes of misuse of the army. Clearly, that is your way now.

So please Anite, learn your craft. Learn it well, act with sense and duty for your republic. Instead, your misunderstanding your role. That you are saying this is proving a vital point. Anite, that you don’t have good reasons, other than cronyism for wishing this bill to pass. Passing an Amendment that gives life Presidency to Museveni. Seems like that is the outcome by any means.

And your strongly in favor of it Anite. So, it is time for you to stop your betrayal of the National Assembly and the Army. Time to ask yourself why are an MP and what your role in the Parliament. Since you should know better, but apparently you don’t!

Best Regards

Write of Minbane!

Gen. Mugisha Muntu: Official Statement on the Ongoing Attempt to Subvert the Constitution (14.09.2017)

Ezra Chiloba Sidebar interview on 8th August Election: It was just pure ignorance and arrogance from the CEO!

Ezra Chiloba wasn’t professing to knowledge of deep wisdom, there we’re no Socrates or Achilles, there we’re no PLO Lumumba dictionary, it was just a straight forward interview on Sidebar. Today, CEO of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Ezra Chiloba had his first interview since the bottled election on the 8th August 2017. That was nullified by Supreme Court on the 1st September 2017, as the next election is happening on the 17th October 2017. Clearly, he want’s to clean his hand, but this interview didn’t help the cause.

Larry: Do you believe the election was free and fair?

Ezra Chiloba: From where we stand yes, the election was free and fair” (NTV Kenya, 13.09.2017).

Larry: Did you conduct the election with the right law and under the constitution?

Ezra Chiloba: Of course” (NTV Kenya, 13.09.2017).

Ezra Chiloba: The minor irregularities were not adequate to invalidate the election, but that is water under the bridge” (NTV Kenya, 13.09.2017).

So these are key quotes that proves the arrogance of the CEO of the IEBC. That he cannot understand how people feel after being tried with a ruse, a trick to usher in Kenyatta for a second term. This without doing the proper job or following the Electoral Codes, the law that the IEBC are supposed to abide to. If they had did it, the SCOK would have had no reason to nullify the election. But it did because of all the breaches.

These elections wasn’t free and fair, they we’re peaceful and was done good. The public could do their civic duty and walk home in peace. But their votes and ballots was not respected or counted properly, neither verified or announced within reason. That is why he should beg for forgiveness, as he has no issues to give Kenyatta a second term. If he has no issues with, doesn’t that prove his partiality and not independence from a party? Since if the elections, as the Election Observers Missions was proclaiming, than the election was righteous. Even if it weeks after was proven otherwise in courts. Now, even the CEO of the operation trying to justify the actions done. It smells like raw-fish laying on the market for days upon end. It smells like crap and bullshit, an it is!

Chiloba is trying to save face, but I have to say is bad at it. He is acting ignorant and arrogant. Like he owns the place, when he doesn’t. He is there to serve the Kenyan population, not serve Jubilee or any other client for that matter. He is supposed to be impartial, but if he believes the previous election was free and fair, he needs to proper schooling and education. Should resign and also get a lesson or two in proper procedure of verifying ballots. Since that is an art-form he cannot manage or have under his wings.

He could have asked forgiveness and said they would make amends and change their acts. Instead he went in with damage control and spin-control. Seriously, underestimating the knowledge of his crowd and the people. As NASA and other unleashed the problems as they could to the public, even if the mainstream media didn’t want to publish or verify it. Peace.

Brexit: The Tories-DUP will continue to subdue the nation with no publications on their negotiations!

If you are confused about what is at stake or in consideration from the United Kingdom government or the Conservative Party and Democratic Unionist Party (Tories-DUP) government, than it is now by intent. Since, the latest revelation from the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union Robin Walker, have a few brilliantly to a few MPs where he described their level of transparency and accountability, which is far by none! They do not want the world to know, if anyone knows or knew what the plan was for the Tories when they left the European Union. It is amazing, that the United Kingdom are playing at this level. That they have so little touch and wish to inform own citizens of their outcome and possible plan of discontinuing their role as a Member State.

Mr. David Lammy asked on the 5th September:

“To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what plans his Department has to publish studies into the effect of the UK leaving the EU on different sectors of the UK economy” (Parliament.uk, 13.09.2017).

Today, Robin Walker answered it by:

“It is not standard practice to provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work that is being carried out within government. The Government’s plan for leaving the EU has been discussed at length, and Parliament will have a say on the final deal we achieve with the European Union by putting that deal to a vote in both Houses before it comes into force. But as Parliament has also agreed, we will not publish anything that would undermine our ability to negotiate the best deal for the UK” (Parliament.uk, 13.09.2017).

Mr. John Trickett asked on the 5th September:

“To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many civil servants have been sent to Brussels at any point to engage in the detail of the Brexit negotiation talks; and how many of these have been seconded from outside the Government” (Parliament.uk, 13.09.2017).

Today, Robin Walker answered it by:

“We have released information on the UK’s senior negotiating team on Gov.uk. As an indication of the number of civil servants in attendance at negotiations in Brussels, at the second round we had over 90 civil servants in attendance, and for the third round, over 100. The total number of staff will vary from round to round as we deploy the negotiating team best able to work on the issues under negotiation. We are drawing together expertise from a wide range of departments where there is specific relevant knowledge on the issues to be negotiated” (…) “I can confirm that of the Department for Exiting the European Union staff who attended the negotiations in July and August, none were seconded from outside of Government. We do not hold information on the contractual arrangements of individuals from other Government Departments” (Parliament.uk, 13.09.2017).

These answers are clearly not enlightening, but are showing the contempt of the Parliament, the Representatives and the citizens as a whole, Brexit negotiators wish to work in secrecy and in peace, without interference, as the knowledge of their plans are hidden in the shadows and not in the open. It is weird, it is strange that the United Kingdom does it like this. That the Brexit team and the ones working for the government want to hold it like a corporate secret. Instead of being open and transparent. Therefore, if the British does not trust their government act in their interests. I understand, because there is nothing to trust. The Tories-DUP government are holding them in contempt and not caring for the people need to know what they are up too. This is not an easy food run, if you bring takeaway Chinese or a Pizza!

This is the ending of a long term Membership Status and all the dozens of agreements that has been made, together with law and protocol for trading and travelling, that has to be reissued and reassured to secure both Unions. Clearly, the Tories and their Secretary thinks it is okay to not publish information, since it can damage their cause. Nevertheless, their cause of action should be in public, since it is in public interest. So if Banks and Industry moves now, they are justified, they do not know their terms for staying behind. London Financial Centre could just move to Dublin or Frankfurt. There the big-multinational financial institutions could secure new benefits within the Euro-Zone. Not be dependent on random guesses of negotiations of the Tories-DUP in Brussels.

That is what can be stated today, that the Brexit department plans to keep it in secret and do not want to be transparent. They want to be secret and neglect their duty to serve the people and their interests. The businesses has all rights to move shop, since if it is all done in secrecy, who will benefit and what will be the end-game? Who knows, right?

Robin Walker, has opened the eyes of hopefully many, if not the Brexit negotiations will be rockier, since the people and corporations cannot trust their government. They have no rights to now, when they do not publish needed public information. Tories-DUP are playing hide-and-seek. We do not know if their hidden or if they are seeking. They could do both. What we do know, is that they do this for a purpose, and that they do not trust the public will to accept their craft, their framework and the possible arrangements they are creating after the Membership with the European Union. Peace

The newly appointed North Ireland Affairs Committee are a Power-Grab by Tories-DUP!

It is special that the newly appointed North Ireland Committee in the United Kingdom Parliament are filled with majority of Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Conservative Party (Tories), also minor part with Labour Party.

The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee membership for the 2017 Parliament has been agreed by the House.

The Chair and Members of the Committee are:

Dr Andrew Murrison MP (Chair) (Conservative)

Mr Gregory Campbell MP (Democratic Unionist Party)

Maria Caulfield MP (Conservative)

Mr Stephen Hepburn MP (Labour)

Lady Hermon MP (Independent)

Kate Hoey MP (Labour)

Jack Lopresti MP (Conservative)

Conor McGinn MP (Labour)

Nigel Mills MP (Conservative)

Ian Paisley MP (Democratic Unionist Party)

Jim Shannon MP (Democratic Unionist Party)” (Parliament.uk – ‘Northern Ireland Affairs Committee membership agreed’ 12.09.2017).

So the NI Affairs Committee are not becoming open to the different parties of the Northern Ireland. These parties that are lost is: Sinn Fein, Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), People Before Profits (PBP), Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV). All of these parties are silenced. The Good Friday Agreement are not listen to, when the DUP are the only voice in the Committee on the Northern Irish devolution. Since, the UK Government are in marriage with DUP, the Tories need their support to survive.

The Northern Ireland questions opens up even more, as the DUP are in control both in UK Parliament and now also in NI. As their negotiations in Stormont is stalling. Tories-DUP are clearly not listening to the worrying signs after election. Since they are appointing this Committee. They are clearly not listening to Sinn Fein. They are not caring about any of the other parties who don’t have MP’s in White Hall. London isn’t listening to Belfast. They are only listening to the Pro-Unionist, to the ones already loyal to UK. The ones who wants to closer to Dublin are silenced and this sort of selection of people shows it.

DUP have made a coup, they have secured more power and control the funding of Northern Ireland. You can wonder if a Labour government gave all Scottish National Party (SNP) in the Scotland Affairs Committee. All the other parties in the Parliament would create havoc. The Northern Irish should react to this. The Republic of Ireland government should react to this. Since this is proof that the Tories-DUP doesn’t care about Good Friday Agreement. This is all about power and control. Proof in the act of just this. Would they do this to similar acts in Scotland and Wales? Would that be okay?

It might just be a committee now, but what is next? The Tories needs the DUP. Tories-DUP are not ready to listen. To take measures that makes sure the devolution of Stormont get back to work and honor the Good Friday Agreement. The GFA is now on the back-burner. It is evident. Peace.
