Opinion: The silent Mbabazi deflect from his Go-Forward to the DP!

MbabaziTDA110915P2

Finally the former Prime Minister and former leader of the newly formed Political Group Go-Forward have been discontinued, as the work to create a own political party are too much work, and has he gotten allies in Democratic Party; which have been DP leader Norbert Mao, who won’t even be in Parliament after he was rejected before the campaign period in November 2015.

So now finally there are news from Amama Mbabazi, the former loyalist and close ally of President Museveni. He have taken another twist and added himself to the Democratic Party (DP), the party must be jolly as they have taken in one of the biggest catches from the NRM in recent history.

Mao Masaka Mbabazi 091115

Well, the DP didn’t have much traction in the general election, in the DP Press Statement on 31st May 2016:

The Democratic Party would wish to implore the President and his handlers to cease the opportunity the “State of the Nation” address is offering as it can be the beginning of a journey towards a national consensus that will surely offer the President a new face and possibly acquire a Statesman stature. He can do away with the now more pronounced stature of an inconsiderate, unaccommodative African strongman, feared and loathed by his people but scorned and laughed at by foreigners” (…)”There is need to find middle ground with those who politically disagree with the President and more importantly, let the Museveni government drop it’s trumped up charges against the former Presidential Candidate and unconditionally release him from prison. Let the President address himself to a peaceful change of government and acknowledge that the time is now for the country to focus on the succession process from his Presidency to another. Let him assure the nation and the new Parliament that he is not about to embark on efforts to tinker with provisions of the constitution that bar him from contesting in another election. Let Mr. Museveni take political responsibility for the 4 trillion shillings lost in sham road construction undertakings that have been happening under his watch. We believe that this is the gist of the State of our Nation” (Democratic Party Uganda, 31.05.2016).

Mbabazi Debate16

With this kind of moves and statements together with deflection from his own Go-Forward to the DP, the party can officiate a new period as the new term happens now. Even with fewer candidates and honorable men in Parliament, as there are only key strongholds where the councilors of DP are residing still, therefore you have seen surge to FDC and still kept close by NRM who pays villages for their votes in the elections. That is proven, so the DP have caught Mbabazi, but will he easily work under Mao, who is the leader of the DP and have been for a while now?

The DP Dr. Paul Ssemogerere was the recent leader from the party with major traction countrywide, even the threat let Museveni promise Universal Primary Eduction (UPE) at one point to gain more votes during the 1996 election. There was a surge when Norbert Mao also hit the trail as a Presidential Candidate before the 2011 election, but still, it wasn’t really happening then, as the rigged election and the Walk to Work demonstrations proved there was a wish for change, but it didn’t deliver that.

Now we are in 2016, there just been held a fraudulent election where Amama Mbabazi went as Independent and started his Go-Forward Group and went under the The Democratic Alliance umbrella of dozen smaller political parties in opposition, that we’re DP, JEEMA and others, as UPC and FDC went out of it at one point. So it wasn’t all opposition who was a part of the coalition.

Norbert Mao NTV

Norbert Mao must be happy today as he will have somebody that can stand the ground against the NRM in his party, somebody who knows all about the maneuvers of President Museveni and his NRM-O. That must be a brilliant gift to the DP, as the DP need some fresh blood and stronger leadership if they want to be a serious party in coming elections, as Go-Forward was a one-man leadership and therefore unless many was bought, if they wasn’t paid they wouldn’t show-up, just as the Security Outfit of Mbabazi who went to NRM when the NRM-O offered money to them.

So it is good day for DP, who has kind of lost Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, who went independent in Kampala and they had their own DP Candidate in that election and he and the NRM singer didn’t reach Lukwago in the Mayoral election. With that in mind, the DP need players like Mbabazi to reach something, as the FDC NEC and FDC leadership is well-known, but that is not the case in the matter of DP anymore, as much as the other of Akena and the UPC, is similar. The old parties that have lost traction and needs a change, this might be what the DP needs, what do you think? Peace.

JSC Retire 03.06.2016 P1JSC Retire 03.06.2016 P2

The Invincible wall between CORD and Jubilee (Kenyatta and Odinga); as the IEBC Stalemate continues and credibility dwindling as Kenyatta and Ruto doesn’t want to talk… to CORD!

Kenyatta Ruto Madaraka Day 2016

“It is not possible that the Opposition leaders do not have faith in all the institutions established under the Constitution” (…) “For instance they say they do not have faith in Parliament, Judiciary and IEBC and yet we recently told the world that we have enacted progressive laws that guide in the running and management of the country” – William Ruto on Madaraka Day rally in Nakuru (The Star Kenya, 01.06.2016).

There are those days when you sit down and wonder if these leaders we have really lead, or just follow their gut. That is how I feel about H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee Coalition, the soon official Jubilee Alliance Party. Who has is advisory in Hon. Raila Odinga, not that the two other main leaders in CORD doesn’t matter, they do, the same does also the deputy of Jubilee. They all matter… therefore the Dialogue and negotiation is so important.

Nairobi 09.05.2016 Demonstration P7 Tear-gas

When we have had the Tear-Gas Mondays and Police Brutality Mondays as the Anti-IEBC rallies have happen around Anniversary Tower in Nairobi, and after a while also happening in other central parts of Kenya, under the leadership of local governors and dignitaries from the opposition. As this has happen, the Jubilee and their MPs, and other leaders have said that the Media and Police should shut it down as it is unconstitutional. Well, the shooting of citizens who demonstrates, the ones walking in the street doesn’t do any harm, the ones with tear-gas, water-canons, sticks and also guns shooting at citizens are the ones that are breaching the constitution. With that in mind, as the killings of civilians will be stained on the ballots of the General Election 2017, unless their loss will be within reason; because the situation right now is that they lost their life for nothing and because of a brutal force from the government. That is not a position or legacy a Kenyatta, want to leave behind, is it?

Not, that CORD are totally correct, but they are right in questioning and asking for reforming both constitution and the IEBC, as before the IEBC, there was IIEC and surely there was another funny abbreviation for an Electoral body in Kenya. I am right, right?

Cord Statehouse 01.06.2016

But because of the current conflict, because of the matter of violence from the Police Service together with the strong rhetoric from CS Nkaissery and others are putting up an invisible wall between them and the leaders of CORD: Hon Raila Odinga, Hon Moses Wentan’gula and Hon Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka. They are all under fire from the reign of Jubilee, as well as the Deputy President William Ruto also addressed them and said there was no need for talks.

The reason why Jubilee doesn’t want to talk, they want to be big-men, elected men who don’t want to show weakness, even if that weakness might show justice and true freedom. Within reason there are freedoms, but when CS Nkaissery can without anything order a journalist detained for writing about parliamentary gazette, then there something wrong with the current laws and regulations. And that is with the freedom of speech, not in the freedom of tallying votes and ushering in voters to actually vote.

The “Chickengate” and the stories of fixing the Burundian Election in 2015, must eat on the bones of the leadership of the IEBC, as the troubled history of the chairman Isaack Hassan and the others who bought and secured funds for themselves and other bureaucrats, as they wanted to eat “chicken” every time the needed Electoral Material, and with that in mind; they surely would like some money direct from ruling party to fix results as they could see fit. That would be fitting right, if you can be bought ones, why not twice?

Cord Nkaissery

The Jubilee shouldn’t just push those thoughts away as there been enough cash-scandals under their reign in this first term of H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon. William Ruto. They have both seen the cash-strapped organizations eaten government funds and seen government officials eaten some extra funds, that from sports to police officers. “Man eats Man Society” as Julius Nyerere called it.

With that in mind as the grievances between the parties are there, as the history between the figures and what they have said about each other are there, even when they have the humility to be together at State House when the South Korean President passed by the Kenyan Nation. That proves that the differences is not too big for them to share the same room and breath the same air.

Now that we know that, they can talk pleasantries in the State House, then there are no reason for why they cannot let certain groups from Jubilee and Cord can discuss the IEBC and reason between them; so that there are no bad-blood before the General Election 2017. If the Jubilee doesn’t do it, then their Police Brutality should be sued and taken to court as breaches of rights to demonstrate in the streets of Nairobi and other Kenyan towns. That is something the CORD party should consider as a treat to hurt in public display and within court laundering of the Kenya National Police Service and their officers. That would not look good in the months as the Courts and trials can last, as there are many actions, many injured and many to interview and write up affidavits from. That would not be tactic that makes the Kenyan government looking friendly… though they already have to address the Dadaab Refugee Camp closing in November 2016. That should be enough for their loyal subject CS Nkaissery.

Judiciary Kenya

So with the knowledge of the chaos of retirement and bribes in the Kenyan Supreme Court, with the Tunoi Tribunal and the Dr. Willy Mutunga and crew makes the necessity for talks even more important, as the reign and openness of scandals in governmental institutions have been staggering. It has not been silenced, there haven’t been enough of emotions, as even the Kenyan Media have been shown to be silenced by the Jubilee, as CS Nkaissery have even been for some an all-powerful English teacher. I myself learned so much from his plain-English last year.

So with the knowledge of all the events, all the actions and all the questions, all the scandals and even added little bit of Police Brutality, the Government, the ruling Party, the President and his Deputy should by all means consider to discuss the future. Where they will possibly disscuss some reforms to give some credibility to the IEBC as the months ahead, and the coming election will be hard to sustain with today’s stalemate between the two coalitions.

Uhuru-Kenyatta Swearing in

If the current government leadership wants to be taken as a serious leaders who can handle to have an initial opposition and respecting the opposition. The Jubilee, who even have at one point as the KANU leader Uhuru Kenyatta knows the taste of tear-gas under President Mwai Kibaki, wonder if the H.E. Kibaki could been more hostile and less of a man, then he might turned and been stubborn as the current leadership is.

That dialogue is not on the table, says more about JUBILEE than about CORD. The groups and politicians, could by all means, regress and deteriorate each other; that will not go into a good space and environment in General Election 2017. Something Kenyatta and Ruto does not want to be responsible for what that could come. As the already loss of life, should make the men, the leaders and honorable to recognize the time and take a cup of tea together to fix and mend the issue. Instead of building and creating a hostile landscape where they are against you, by all means, and doesn’t make for a justified election and campaigning. That create war-mongering and them-us talk that doesn’t create a safe space. With the history of elections in Kenya, that should be taken in consideration, to not ignite or open up for such. That on neither side and instead give some way or look into the grievances that are… and the questions to the government institution… that shouldn’t be muffled. Peace.

No Remedy Mentioned (NRM) is continuing to run, while they block the FDC with the Calvary and in the Courts!

Lukwago 02.06.2016

“Am short of words to express my disillusionment with this level of impunity and bastardisation of the country” – Erias Lukwago

There have been a few nights and few days with sorrow for the Forum for Democratic Change and their leadership, that is far from over, as long as President Museveni and National Resistance Movement exist. So with this in mind, there are still Courtship for FDC MPs, FDC Leaders and Activist that are involved in the Defiance Campaign of the 2015-2016.

Just as the IGP Kale Kayihura written a Motion and Affidavit on the 30th May 2016, as they will continue with the “Interim Ex Parte Orders in AG V. Besigye (Constitutional Petition No. 13 of 2016)”. This happens after the suspended orders went out on the 1st June, as they got this served yesterday at the FDC Headquarter on the 1st June 2016. So with that in mind, the Uganda Police Force together with Deputy Chief Justice Stephen Kavuma, the man who was officiating or swearing-in President Museveni on the 12th of May. In the midst of the period that the Political Party of FDC was sieged and even the FDC HQ was at one point a crime scene by the Police Force.

While Dr. Kizza Besigye who is still in Luzira, was supposed to be tried first day on his “treason charge” against the Republic of Uganda, to be correct dishonoring President Museveni. Since he is such a problem for the state of affairs, he is National Security threat as he can weakens all transport in Kampala, not in the same way as the jams recent days with Turkey VIP Erdogan and South Korean President Park Guen-Hye, as the central Kampala and roads to Entebbe International Airports was closed. The Same Police Force could not also as they we’re on standby for the President and his guest, be able to see the KCCA Councilors and Lord Mayor Lukwago, as another excuse of the matter.

Well, today the Police and Judiciary continues with the struggle against Opposition, as the incumbent Mayor Lukwago had to show up at Makindye Magistrate Court, where 7 persons from FDC was represented to answer to the Interim Order of Stephen Kavuma, but Dr. Kizza Besigye for the second day in row couldn’t be produced to Court.  The action of today’s court was the actual extension of the ban of “Defiance Campaign”. Because Lukwago and Besigye at one-point was charged with “Illegal Assembly” at Nsambya Sharing Hall in 2015; a trial that happen today without one of the main suspects as he is supposed to answer and the continuation of the suspension order of the “Defiance Campaign”.

Museveni 31.05.2016

This happens in the same space as the President Museveni in his speech in Parliament, at the State of the Nation Address, is saying this:

“The only pollution to this glorious and massive Liberation Movement has been the mistake of the careerists introducing the use of money in electioneering.  We shall also struggle against that.  Therefore, democracy is one area where we do not need aid because that is what we fought for here and in the rest of Africa for many decades”.

Ingrid Turinawe 01.06.2016

This happen while certain close in the leadership of FDC Doreen Nyanjura and Ingrid Turinawe was arrested around the Nakawa Court yesterday. While the level of tortured FDC leaders and youths have also been showed to the world in the recent months. As there was at one point a dozen FDC Youth detained in a Container on the Outside of the Rukungiri Police Station, they we’re charged with “Terrorism”. As their leaders was also detained and not charged for days in this May 2016. Hon. Moses Byamugyisha, was working for their freedom for days upon days. As the Police even when Rukungiri Court Order their withdrawal of justice, they still lingered in the Container there.

Now with this in mind, there are still charges on Dr. Kizza Besigye served in Kabale Magistrate Court together with Erias Lukwago, the same is surely also in Kasangati Magistrate Court, where he has served charges against the State for their unlawful house-arrest of Besigye himself, days upon days without charges in February and March in 2016, when they we’re besieging his home in Kasangati in 40 Days straight. Something that IGP Kale Kayihura should answer for!

Besigye Detained

There are reported that Besigye will be produced at the Constitutional Court as they will answer to affidavit of IGP Kayihura as he had intelligence of FDC Supporters was supposed to make problems around Nakawa Court, yesterday, apparently. There are also reports that the Police have sealed of Constitutional Court, as he is set to come there from the Fairway Hotel Junction down to Mulago-Wandegeya routes are closed as the Black Van with Besigye supposed to pass. So that the Judge presiding, surely Deputy Chief Justice Stephen Kavuma will continue the “Interim Order” with the passage of National Security as the DPP Mike Chibita couldn’t produce him yesterday as the passage would counter the news of Turkish President and President Museveni smiling on the front-pages on New Vision today. It would look foolish towards the new donors and allies from Turkey. Therefore they had to wait until today when both Presidents had left the Central Business District of Kampala and could siege the roads for the return of Besigye  to the Constitutional Court, where he last time we’re in late April 2016.

What I expect is that it will be continued as he is now by the Authorities and Legal forces seen as a “National Security” issue and a man who creates havoc and problems. Even when that is not true or proven; as much as the President wants to silence the FDC and hope that the population soon forgets the General Election of 2016 and the shameful rigging of Presidential Election 2016. That with the Army deployment and the continued stronghold of Police, as they continue to detain and harass the opposition, therefore the Democratic Party and Uganda People’s Congress is so silent, except that Hon. Jimmy Akena had to take his last shot at Dr. Olara A. Otunnu and blame him for the election. Not for his maladministration and agreement with NRM led to people despising the UPC, as they are now a branch of the NRM-O.

Fred Ruhindi TV

The Attorney General of Uganda Fred Ruhindi is issuing the extension of the Interim Order today because of this:

“The Attorney General wants court to declare both Besigye and FDC’S defiance activities as unlawful since they are not in conformity with the prescribed processes of challenging a presidential election. In the affidavit supporting the Attorney General’s interim order application, the Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura says unless court stops FDC’s activities, the country will go back to political unrest and insecurity” (The Street Lawyer UCU, 02.06.2016).

So with this in mind, we know the tale will go, it is not all of sudden that the NRM Regime going to work against itself or going to contradict itself, more than President Museveni does with his speeches and development agenda, as that is the same in 1980s, he just don’t know that himself. The Constitutional Court will today continue to ban the Forum for Democratic Change and their Defiance Campaign as the “National Security” will come first. Because that “National Security” is meaning the continuation of the rigged coup d’état from President Museveni and his NRM Elite have done on the 20th February 2016. So the Police Force and their tear-gas brigade fear the people who supported Besigye and the true state of electoral violence created under their reign and their initial Police brutality against civilians. Therefore the Attorney General and Inspector General of Police wants to make sure he is silent behind bars and that his party is muffled; because if so they can continue prosecuting the leaders and head-activist of the FDC party without interference of the population. That is securing the NRM elite and Ruling Party for continuing with some sort of business as usual.

There is now reports that AG Fred Ruhindi: “Attorney General withdraws application for an interim order (incl. an extension) against defiance” (The Observer, 02.06.2016).  So the hardwork and paperwork delivered together with IGP Kayihura will not be worked on.

FDC Lawyer 02.06.2016

Reasons for why they did so: 

“According to the FDC legal adviser and lawyer Rwakafuzi Radsrus,attorney general sought it important to withdraw the case on grounds that they government could not hold the million people who could invade the court and that even Dr. Kizza Besigye as the accused had written to appear in person without being represented by lawyers. Before at around 02:45 Beisgye’s Ernest Kalibala brought a letter signed by the accused (Besigye) himself requesting for his personal presence as by law for the accused to be available in court on such charges. In a letter signed by the Director Civil Litigation Denis Bireije quotes that under section 2 (2) of the court of appeal rules with orders for the government cost and a copy has been sent to FDC and Besigye Kizza. Rwakafuzi further says that the main application of attorney general seeking for the constitutional court to interpret the laws that ban defiance still stands but that it is useless since there has never been any where the government petitions the constitutional court against its citizens on constitutional interpretations” (Mukose Arnold Anthony, 02.06.2016).

Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago statement on today’s affair:

“Today midmorning, Hon. Mp Bakireke Nambooze, Kasibante Moses, Ssemujju Nganda and I visited Dr. Beside at Luzira Maximum Security Prison. We compared notes on the bizarre political developments in the country, including the current legal gymnastics in courts of law. I was personally shocked to learn that the prison authorities were never issued with a production warrant, requiring them to produce him before the Constitutional Court this afternoon, to respond to the AG’S application seeking to extend the ban on the defiance campaign. Besides, I think it is abuse of court process for the State to seek for injunctive orders against a citizen languishing in prison. Little wonder that they opted to withdraw all such applications. on a positive note, our legal team is working around the clock to ensure that Dr. Besigye regains his freedom. Aluta continua” (Lukwago, 02.06.2016).

Still there are enough cases in courts and acts from the Police, even if they are not officially banning “Defiance” they are still monitoring and detaining FDC leaders and activists. While also silencing the Opposition.  Even with the Defiance Campaign partly legal, it is still court cases and charges awaiting, not only Besigye, but many of the other close leadership of the FDC and the Youth Leaders in the Country.

There are nothing set in the stones that they will act differently, but they will follow orders from up-high and from their President, the man that feeds them and continue to inflict electoral and violations against multi-party democracy to protect their master. That is the only thing they know and they are bending their knees to supply the President with orders and tear-gas to assure that they are silencing the people, who are supposed to be sensitized for his ruling and his vision, and nobody else. That is the KEY to the RESISTANCE of Ugandan politics, to be unison agreement with Mzee Museveni and nobody else. Therefore people like Besigye, Lukwago and other have to be silent or not be questioning Museveni, because Museveni is always right and acting correctly. Even if his speech yesterday proves that even with 30 years in Power and Rule, he has the same problems in the Republic of Uganda, as when he took power. Peace.

With utmost respect CJ, I do not understand your angry tone – which I find inappropriate – to me in this email, for the following reasons:

  1. I did not know you were in the country to begin with as your earlier email communication to us indicated you would be out of the country from the 22nd may. (How would I know to call you when you are out of the country? You never pick my calls anyway.)
  2. You did not copy any email to ME asking not to copy our colleagues.
  3. The first email from you to me arrived in my inbox at 2.31 pm when I had already started listening to the matters, and I was not online at that time. I only saw your email AFTER I had disposed of the applications.
  4. Justice Ojwang who was the only other Judge not affected by the matter who was in chambers at the time and we consulted and agreed I should proceed hear the matters.
