Opinion: Joint Candidates for the Opposition is a sign a weakness towards Bosco!

Do the Opposition want to look viable?

Does the Opposition leaders want to look serious?

Are they concerned about their credibility before the electorate?

That is what they should ask themselves, as the new IPOD leader and Democratic Party President Norbert Mao is calling out to all Opposition parties to go in for joint candidates for the General Election in 2021. However, that is a false flag, it is weakening the base of the Opposition, instead of strengthening them.

What Mao haven’t learned from is the Inter-Party Coalition (IPC) and The Democratic Alliance (TDA), which have been used as Opposition coalitions to try to challenge President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM). However, they have been futile, as the state apparatus, intimidation and rigging has secured the ruling regime all the fortunes.

Therefore, Mao should know better as we’re in the 3rd Decade of the Museveni era. This is the sinister part of the times under him. Where the gloves are off and he uses all methods to stay in power. There are nothing he doesn’t touch and tries to manipulate in his favour. That is why, Mao and the rest of Opposition should work together, but not in a way, where they are betting on one ticket.

It is easy to see, that the NRM will get the majority, will get the Presidency and get the crown jewels of the Republic. That is what the NRM does and everyone should know this. Therefore, why risk it all on one ticket and one flag-bearer?

This is really not salvaging anything, but trading away what you have. In a system built for Museveni and his kind. Even if it is so, the Opposition shouldn’t give up and throw in their candidates. If the Opposition are only fielding on MP in every district, a Mayoral Flag-Bearer and whatever else role the Opposition want to aspire to get.

The Opposition should use all forces, use all parties and all manifesto’s to prove their difference from the NRM. The Opposition should field people from JEEMA, DP, UPC, FDC, ANT and whatever else existing out there. All parties should try and go up against the NRM. They got nothing to lose, only prove their point and configure their strategies both locally and also nationally. This to prove their difference and their plan, if the public want to see them fit to rule post-Museveni.

Mao doesn’t sound sincere or strong in the path to Presidency, when he doesn’t believe his own people can run as flag-bearers, but thinks he can negotiate and assemble strength by fixing one-by-one flag-bearer or candidate in every district and even Presidential Candidate. Alas, that will just weaken the possible Opposition. That is a gift-card to the President. This can silence the pressure of the People Power Movement, the ones who are still believing in Defiance against the state and all the others who want the Museveni to cease. However, that will not go down. Not even by a National ID-Drive or trying to WIN by the POLLS. That has be insignificant for 2 decades.

Therefore, the Opposition have figure out a way of getting a popular uprising and fight the oppression. Not continue to be under submission of the President and his made system.

Also, don’t show weakness, don’t be fatigued and give way to the President. He already tarmacking it and doesn’t give a rats-ass about you. That is why, the Opposition have to show character and stamina against the old man and his devious tactics.

Because, he would use that as a way of saying the Opposition stands for very little or have lack of principals. Since they can all work together and only seeking meal-tickets. Not that is not throwing stones in a glass-house, as his cronies are all seeking for their meal-tickets. But, the Opposition should look smarter and look like they actually want to govern with good governance and sincerely develop the Republic. Not only eat the plate of the state and see the schools fall-apart a little bit more, or more hospital without medicine or electricity. Because, that is what the state is offering the citizens at the moment. Also some added OTT Tax and using MTN Licenses to pay for Airplanes. That is how life goes on in the Republic.

Therefore, the Opposition has to look different, sound different and not look defeated. That doesn’t mean they cannot stand together in the fight against Museveni. But its the way they do it. Because they have tried the IPC and TDA without any results. So, for the L-O-V-E of God, prove your value and your mandate for the public. Let them see your true character. So, they can see the difference between you and the hungry looters who are residing their currently. Peace.

Uganda National Airlines: Let’s Get It Started!

“Everybody (yeah), everybody (yeah), just get into it (yeah), get stupid (come on)

Get it started, (come on) get it started (yeah), get it started”The Black Eyed Peas, ‘Let’s Get It Started’ 2003

Well, this week has been revealing in concerning the supposed newly minted airlines in Uganda. Where the state incorporated Uganda National Airlines Limited in January 2018. However, the supposed registration and certification happen this week. The documentation now shows, that the Ministers are owners of the Airline and it’s registered on the 26th March 2019 and certified on the 27th March 2019.

Alas, the state has already spent close to $30m USD on it, as they have procured several of planes for the operations and the first are supposed to arrive on the 31st March 2019. Therefore, the whole ownership and usage of state funds comes into question. As the Report to Parliament confessed that the state and the two ministries only owned 2 shares out of 2 million, until yesterday, when suddenly the Ministers of Works and Transport and Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Development suddenly had 1 million shares each, a 50 50 split.

This all seems suspicious and within reason. Because, it has been done in wrong order and ensured to not follow procedures or anything of that fashion. As the State for the second time are infringed to deliver new funds to State Owned Enterprise, even as the ghosts of owners and registration suddenly appears. You can wonder, if they would have done this, if it didn’t get public scrutiny. Because, the scribbling document of ownership only appeared, when the Observer and other media houses questioned it.

This shows that there was something lurking and weird about it all. Where the insiders and the ones operating it, maybe, had shell-companies and significant portfolios, where they could earn the profits of this state owned enterprise. That would not be shocking, even if all the investments, all the funding and procurement have happen directly from the Ministries and with the blessings from above high.

With all of this in the open. It seriously question the operation, the ownership and who really controls the company as whole, because its hard to believe the two ministries does it. As it was incorporated in January 2018, but was registered shareholders yesterday, a year and two months after. Which is suspicious at best, if not revealing of how the state operates in this matters.

We can play along and act a fool, but that doesn’t change the remaining questions, the lack of trust and also the lack of protocol. As the state have toyed around spent fortunes on establishing, procuring and investing in the company, while it has been a ghost and non existing entity, which could be someone’s secret bank-account.

Certainly, this is not over and will leave a giant paper-trail that somehow will be resolved in the State House and by whoever the benefactor whose project this is. Because, that is the rule of the day and how these things are under this Presidency. It is common knowledge, but never really said or revealed, unless, family members of the President owns it or runs it. Peace.

Brexit: Democratic Unionist Party – Statement (27.03.2019)

Opinion: PM May’s Molotov Cocktail!

Today, the Prime Minister Theresa May statement at the 1922 Committee of the Conservative Party really have sparked a fire. Not that is it a final solution or anything, but is igniting a lot of people. They are now in flames for the opportunity to salvage a better career after the shambolic and botched Brexit. This is how it seems.

The Tories will now do whatever they can to scramble for the horrific Withdrawal Agreement, which is despiced for a reason. It is not giving the Brexiteers what they need nor offering a token to the ones who are Remainers. It is putting everything in a limbo and giving a giant gesture to the European Union without having any say in it. They are not only losing the Member State status, but also losing the freedoms of being an Third Country. Which is rare and unique in a sense.

Still, with that in mind. The Molotov Cocktail thrown into the Party can possible work, as the Tories can ensure they get enough votes for the Withdrawal Agreement and finalize the Article 50. However, this means also the co-operative, the Customs Union, the Back-Stop and all other measures are put in place. While the UK are still losing privileges of the EU. Which is rare and they are accepting this and would do so. Because, they can all fight for the top stop of both the Tory Party and possible the government.

The PM is throwing a big Molotov Cocktail into the power-hungry crowds and hope in anticipation that they capture the bait. The saddest thing about this, this doesn’t change the legal work of the Withdrawal Agreement nor the conditions the HM Government is accepting. The UK will be the ugly duck to the EU with a less significant deal, then even the ones in EFTA has. Still, they might accept that trade for becoming the PM and getting in the Cabinet of Post-Brexit.

That shows the grasping straws for power is more important, than the ramifications the Brexit Agreement might possibly have for several parts of the Tories. They are not considering the cost,s the challenges or the lack of power, the new government have, as they have statutes and instruments in the Withdrawal Agreement the state has to abide too. Still, that didn’t matter, when the state again voted for the Meaningful Vote Part III, because that all doesn’t make sense to me. No principal, no justification. Other than, these people inside the Tories who are in the middle of the fire. Is so hungry for tasting the burning flame and hoping they can overpower it.

Certainly, the PM risks a lot by doing this. Her own Kamikaze, but this shows also how little she values the Brexit. Since, she is issuing an possibility if they are accepting this soft-Brexit and not a true Brexit. Clearly, the Tories should know this. A No-Deal would have been worse. To stay in the EU would be better, but that is not a thing, apparently. Because the Tories and their MPs are keen to leave, but on shaky unknown grounds. Where they will be muffled with and have less of leverage than today.

What we will see, if this gamble, if this offer will put enough spice on the horrible Withdrawal Agreement. It is really rare, to see a state, where the representatives are planning so many ways of screwing their citizens over. And they are doing it over and over again.

Still, that is maybe the Tories of showing the British, respect and dignity. Especially in the trying times of finding they way, in a Post-Brexit world. A new fresh PM and Cabinet has to sort out all the mess the former one left behind. A trail of hurt, hardships and betrayal. At a state, where the economy is rumbling and the austerity haven’t brought anything good. Still, they got to configure something out of the remaining factors and sprinkle some Unicorns. Who knows, maybe even pulling rabbits out a hat.

Whatever this was, this is most likely not the final trick of PM May, May the force be with you.

However, the realities remain. This was throwing a Molotov Cocktail and who knows how much damage it will do. Either the Kingdom or the Party will feel the hurt, the in-fighting and the will to succeed her at any cost. Even if she burnt down the house and asking who wants to keep the lighter?

Peace.

Aidah Nantaba MP Assassination Plot: Today it turned into a Murder-Case Investigation!

Well, on Sunday, the 24th March 2019, there was a speculation and reports of a assassination plot on the State Minister of ICT and Member of Parliament Aidah Nantaba, where the MP claimed that her life was in danger. Today, the MP is undressed in public, as the Police Spokesperson CP Fred Enanga reports this:

Police has admitted that Ronald Ssebulime who was shot dead after being suspected to have been trailing ICT Minister Idah Nantaba was illegally killed. “He had eats and drinks in his bag and was heading to visit his children at school, ” Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga said while addressing the media at the Police headquarters in Naguru. Enanga also added that the Police Patrol that handled the matter gave them false information. “The case will now be treated as murder,” Enanga added” (NTV Uganda, 27.03.2019).

Now that this is out and the Police Force have clarified it. They are implicating the Police Officers in the event and the ones who made it happen. As we can see, the aftermath and the extra-judicial killing in the streets isn’t acceptable. The MP and the associates at the scene have tried to exhaust this and was able to script the play of an assassination plot, which is now investigated as murder. This means it was a deliberate act to kill Ssebulime, that day and the acts done by the people around MP was to kill him off. For whatever reason they saw fit.

This is really sad, as this enforce the misuse of power to try to control a narrative, to attack innocent civilians, who was used and been played by the media houses, as a con, gangster and thug in the streets. While the real criminals was the guards and police officers guarding the MP. Who for whatever reason silenced Ssebulime.

It is clear, that the public outrage, the eye-witnesses on NBS Television and NTV Uganda have clearly spread the message, a message that the Police Force cannot run away from. There was to many people seeing the murder scene and could elaborate a story, which doesn’t fit the narrative of the MP. Who has claimed she was followed and stalked by someone who wanted to take her out. However, that should no be totally dismissed, as the newest corrected police statement and eye-witnesses are saying otherwise.

Therefore, the craziness in it all, was at some point, that the MP thought she could get away with it. Now, this will be further investigated. If we ever get the whole story or the culprits revealed. Because, the Police Force and the Guards of the MP should be investigated for their possible sins and association with the murder that day. Also, the MP should answer for her orders and her play in all of this. As she has conspired to cover-up a crime and needs to answer the public of her crimes. Peace.
