“You are in darkness because you voted for bad representatives; you voted for NUP. Now I have to shoulder your burdens and give you electricity” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (27.06.2024).
The King of Kings (Ssabagabe) orders and decree things. He lives supreme and have all powers. His a man of words and his opinion matters. He is the true definition of power and a demi-god amongst men. That’s who President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni thinks of himself.
After all these years in power. After all this time. His still as vindictive and narrow minded. There is no relent or forgiveness. Alas, there is wherein lay the whole problem to his reign. That his so fixated at micro managing and not taking the whole picture. He rather scope on one minor transaction or con. Instead of thinking of the whole system, the whole package and how it works. That’s why his regime is built like it is.
President Museveni can say to the people of Kalerwe that they voted for the wrong people in the recent elections and that’s why they don’t have elections. West Nile have voted for plenty of National Resistance Movement (NRM) candidates for years, but they are still not on the national grid. I’m sure Karamoja sub-region are well established as “heartland” for the NRM, but they lack electricity too. So, this isn’t a party thing and who is associated where. This is a broader based problem and a lack of institutionalized or proper budgeting for the basic infrastructure. That’s what is the key issue here and his politicking about it.
The President should be horrified that this is an issue in the capital and so close to the Central Business District of Kampala. It isn’t far from Kalerwe to the Square or the Nile Avenue for that matter. You don’t have to use long time on a boda-boda to get from Kalerwe to the most central parts of Kampala. This just shows how little development and how little investment there have been to basic infrastructure like this. When it haven’t even gotten to Kalerwe.
This is government failure to provide proper services. The electricity should work regardless who they vote for. That should be something the citizens has access too and can afford. This is a failure of the “middle-income” nation that King of Kings always speaks loud about.
Ssabagabe shows his tyranny and his ruthlessness with action towards fellow citizens. It isn’t a sign of a Statesman or a “father of the nation” which is how he wants to portray himself. Instead it shows his arrogance and his bitterness of not being a beloved character. That’s because of stuff like this. Because, who as a leader would speak like this and think they would ever vote for you. It is something he should have fixed decades ago. It should have been a priority from the year of 1986, but we are seeing that this isn’t the case.
The fraud, the fake and the hypocrite of a man is exposing himself. The self-proclaimed King cannot be humble or try to act sincere to people. Instead he malign them, but he is the one that should be begging them. As he is a custodian of them and he represents them all. However, that is forgotten thing in the mind of the President.
That’s because the Ssabagabe is supreme and the rest of us is just mere mortals. Peace.

“Anybody can contest with me in 2026. I have no problem. It’s you to make your choice, I still have the energy to serve the people of Adjumani West. Let me repeat myself that I will contest again” – Gen. Moses Ali (26.06.2024).
The former rebel and close ally of the President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Gen. Moses Ali has no plans to retire or stop being a high ranking official. He has been an Member of Parliament since 2011 and a main-stay in the cabinet as a secretive agreement with Museveni of old.
So, we have seen the General always getting appointed and it shows. Gen. Moses Ali have now had several of terms as MP and been in Cabinet. There isn’t a time where the 85-year-old haven’t been part of government. Therefore, he won’t give up his meal ticket anytime soon.
Gen. Moses Ali will continue to be in the cabinet and wanting the additional funds of being an MP. He has gotten that for decades now. President Museveni surely has him close because of the agreement and political framework they made back in the day. That’s why he has always a place for him and he cannot retire the old man.
The General seems to be an everlasting figure in the Republic. He won’t relent or give more youthful people space. No, he wants to eat and live the lavish life. Not that he has the energy or ability as in the past. That is part of life and aging.
The former rebel and token ally of Museveni should consider retirement now. We know he won’t do it himself. Because he knows the NRM Primaries will be easy and after that the system is rigged for him to return. That’s why he don’t have to campaign or act in any other way.
President Museveni likes loyal people like Gen. Moses Ali. A man who is there and who will be there for him. Neither creating drama, scandals or anything else either. Just another old bloke eating of his plate. Peace.




“Greetings. Although busy celebrating Maama’s 76th birthday, I am also fully in the war against obwiibi (theft) of government money, obutagambirwa (not listening to guidance) and okweragyiira, okwetuminkiriza (doing things that are not agreed upon)” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (24.06.2024).
There was days when the sort of intellectual spirit and gravitas of His Excellency could inspire people. It was a time when that brought hope of a better future and another tomorrow. However, those days are long lost and people are yawning. People are tired of it and they know it isn’t legit.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni have no backbone, no urgency and no need to uproot the evils of corruption. If he did… it wouldn’t be as prevalent and as common as it is. The practice and usage of it within his government is obvious. He is even using it and expanding his cronyism over it. Therefore, he cannot combat something that gives his Presidency life.
That’s why a statement like the ones published today is just futile. There is nothing there. Just like the 2 hour long speeches and metaphorical makings of directives through letters to his Ministers. They look good on paper and possibly sounds good, but regardless of that… it won’t go anywhere and we know it.
Just read these quotes from the statement, before I finish this off with a little rant after it…
“In the NRM time, we went back to the old system of the Civil service based on merit through competitive examinations by the Public Service Commission. That is why we never bothered with corruption for a long time, knowing that there are capable People handling money, personnel and procurement. We now know that many of them have let us down. We shall, therefore, have to work with victims of this corruption and some patriots to crush this betrayal. Are the patriots there? Yes. Where is the proof? The 20,000 fighters that attacked Kampala on the 22nd to the 26th of January, 1986, were mainly patriots. Otherwise, why would they do what they did without pay?” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
“Nevertheless, it is possible to crush corruption through the alliance of patriots (I count myself as one of them) and the victims, the masses. The masses can be encountered in the village barazas, etc. The patriots are to be found in the political leadership, some public servants, the churches, etc.
Corruption is diverting a lot of money that could develop the country. IGG estimates Ug. Sh.10 trillion per year!!” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
“Therefore, the thieves are parasites that must be stamped out, and the indisciplined are saboteurs of our fast development and must also be stopped” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
One that never gets to old is the usage of the beginning of time or the essence of this Presidency. The time-frame and the need to go all the way back to the bush or the early stages of being a Head of State. That’s the prime and the moment of glory. When he won and took power from others. That’s what we need to salute and he ended everything. Created everything and made it his. Alas, that is part of the problem too.
Everything is encircling the President and his nearest associates. The government is based on his blessing and the representatives are all awaiting his verdict on any matter. They need his guidance and wisdom before doing anything. That’s why the rotten core and the foundation of the state is corruptible. Since the President acknowledge and doesn’t address the issue properly. He see it as a way of getting all ends to meet. The President benefits and enriches himself of it. That’s why he needs his underlings to partake and eat too.
He can promise to crash, destroy and annihilate the corrupt as much as he wants to. Use slurs and be vindictive in nature. However, we know that won’t happen and the ones in high power won’t be touched. Neither will the closest allies or the ones serving him. There will be some small fishes taken and some might have to fall on the sword for a minute, but they will be released soon or not even properly scorned even. That’s what he does to the Ministers who are loyal and who took what wasn’t theirs. Nevertheless, they will be off the hook and able to serve another day.
That’s why you know the Statement is useless. It is so abundantly clear. No matter what dogma or ideals he uses. It won’t matter at all. The President only does this to get headlines and act like he has a oversight over it. However, we know he won’t do a thing and this gig is up. Peace.


“The biggest problem we have now is corruption. This corruption is not happening on the moon, it’s happening in the district, sub-county, and constituency. I have opened a war on the corrupt, so, make sure that you are not in my gun sight. We cannot let our people down” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 20.06.2024).
We have heard the “A Luta Continua” from the ones who fight the good fight and for liberation. This phrase is well known and a part of social fabric by now. It is used as a term and a we know it for a reason.
Now in 2024 after all the years in power. The usage is losing meaning, and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) cannot use this sincerely. “The Struggle Continues” aren’t what the NRM and the State House works on.
No, the NRM and the State House is busy looting. They are continuing the looting of the state reserves. The loot is vital and important for the government. The Government of Uganda and the regime itself thrives on the siphoned funds, corruption and graft.
President Museveni can act like it is just some small cases, but it is a system at this point. The grease that builds and destroys. The means to an end is the envelopes, the service awards, and presidential handshakes. That’s what is happening, and we have seen it happening for years.
Yes Ssebo, we know the drill and the modus operandi. If there is a wheeler-dealer and a foreign investor around. He or she has to visit the State House and get connected correctly. Just so the kickbacks and everything can circulate in the right direction.
The NRM and the government is so close to be run like a racket. They are saying they are cracking down on a racket within the Ministry of Finance, but certainly it is deeper than that. Because MPs are finding ways to eat. Cabinet Ministers are misusing their offices and suddenly government services are taken for granted. There are just such a vast enterprise of actions…
Museveni can act like he wants to fight it and stop the practice of corruption. Nevertheless, that would kill his government. He would stop the initiative and the means to his end. He corrupts the high-ranking officials and that way they will be loyal to him. They are getting ill gotten gains, but at the same time they have to be loyal to the President. He says nothing and acts like nothing. As long as they serve his purpose and does what he wants. They vote for his acts and budget posts, which enriches himself too. Therefore, it is a system created to eat and don’t care about the government services.
I have totally given up on the idea that Mzee or Museveni ever wants to resolve or chase the ones participating in these sorts of practices. That would mean he would dissolve government and revoke the whole Parliament too. He had to so destroy and deplete his whole system. Because none of the mechanisms and organizations that he has built is doing anything substantial either. It is more just busy-bodies and ability to hire cronies in privileged offices. However, they don’t have to do anything and challenge anyone of prominence.
That’s why we have seen it all and heard it all. The President can speak like he cares, but his inaction speaks much more. We have been here before…
So before we think he would do anything… 40 years in power and it is just a part of life now. It is what Museveni, and his cronies has created. It is a beast they have fed over the years and now it’s fat. Peace.

“Busiki County MP Hon. Paul Akamba, one of the MPs who was remanded over allegations of budget corruption is seized and thrown into a waiting vehicle. Akamba was apprehended while exiting court after his bail application” (NTV Uganda, 14.06.2024).
“UPDATE: The Anti-Corruption Court has denied bail to Hon. Cissy Namujju and Yusuf Mutembuli and remanded them till 17th June when they will return. Hon. Paul Akamba has however been granted a UGX 13 million cash and UGX 100 million non-cash bail. The three legislators are battling alleged corruption-related cases” (NBS Television, 14.06.2024).
“Police motorcade whisks away the three legislators from Kira Police Divisional Headquarters in Wakiso District. Mr Yusuf Mutembuli of Bunyole East, Paul Akamba of Busiiki county and Lwengo District Woman MP Cissy Namujju were first quizzed at CID Headquarters yesterday before being taken to Kira Police Divisional Headquarters where they spent a night” (Daily Monitor, 11.06.2024).
In the recent days and this week, the name of Paul Akamba MP has gotten more well known. I cannot remember his actions in a Plenary Session or even in a Committee in Parliament. In the 11th Parliament, the Busiki County MP has been rather silent or without a purpose. He hasn’t created a profile or been vocal MP.
Nevertheless, his apparently a part of racket within the Ministry of Finance. As he has solicited funds and misused his office to get bigger personal gains. He is one out of three MPs who has been arrested and made a case of. They are the current “fall-guys” and “scapegoats” of the Republic.
We have seen these sorts of drills before, as the State and the Authorities goes after some “high-ranking officials” but never the true kingpin. Take out some smaller down the food-chain, but never the ones who has real power or substantial to the ruler. No, only the ones who are minor league players and never the ones playing in the Premier League.
That’s where Paul Akamba MP is and where he has resided for now. At this very moment and day. He got a taste of a “black mamba” or a “drone”. The plain clothed law enforcement or security agents, which just picks a person up and detains them without warrants or any knowledge of their whereabouts. Akamba MP got picked up like a chicken thief or a NUP activist.
This is the impunity and the lack of concern for rule of law. The MP could have been acting in disregard of the law and acted with intent to solicit ill gotten gains. That might be true, but that has to be proven that he was part of racket within the government. To arrest someone of doing and building a case against them is the job of the authorities. However, the manner of which he was arrested or kidnapped was wrong after receiving bail.
He was maybe the only one out of three MPs who got bail. That bail should have been honoured. As of being under bail. The man wouldn’t be free, but be stipulated to follow court orders and attend when the Courts says so. Therefore, what happened outside the court isn’t right. He shouldn’t been taken away this way. No one should be and it’s totally unacceptable.
This is acting with viciousness and vindictiveness. The MP deserves better and no one should get this treatment. The MP should answer for his sins in court and have a proper trial. The state should have evidence, proof and witnesses proving the racket. So, that the ones implicated can be charged, sentenced and then serve time. However, here they are jumping the gun and treating him as a criminal. As if his guilty and doesn’t’ deserve to be out on bail.
That’s wrong. We all know this is wrong and shows the problems of the law enforcement in the Republic. Shows how things are done and it shouldn’t be this way. Akamba MP should have to go through this and neither his family either. They are now getting treated as sub-human and not valued as a citizen. Just as another common crook and villain who deserves to be hidden away from society. That’s being done long before any sentencing or verdict was made. It is outrageous, but sadly a common sight in the Republic. Peace.

The meeting between President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the Buganda Clan leaders over last weekend that was reported about mid-week. So, days after it was transpired and as the Budget Speech was announced and about to erupt. The news hit the papers and online sphere.
There was knowledge of pledges and promises. The President wanting to give land, cultural heritage site and an entertainment facility of some kind. That’s what the President has promised the Clan leaders of the Buganda.
The Kabaka and Katikkiro should feel dismayed. The Mengo is losing power and the Head of State is meddling directly in their affairs. His involving himself before the Lukiko and the leadership of Mengo gets a say. The President is offering his tokens and certainly wants something in return. He gets loyal clan leaders by giving mere shillings, which isn’t his anyway.
Museveni is getting these clan leaders for cheap. Just like he gets the loyalty of religious leaders by donating SUVs and charitable donations to church coffers. The same is being done here and the Prime Minister and King of the Kingdom has no say. They are just onlookers while their hierarchy is aligning itself with the government outside.
The President is getting it easy and only has to hold small functions at the State House. Only give them a little courtesy… and pledges. From there they have to be loyal and spread the message he wants from them. Because he knows they want this from him and he can fix it. Therefore, a simple ask to get the bargain.
The President undermines the authority of Mengo. The Kabaka and Katikkiro is underlings who are supposed to be heads of the clan leaders. The clan leaders are supposed to summoned and obey the King. Alas, the President has now jumped the line and towed it too. They are now awaiting the blessings of the President and not the King.
That’s why this meeting is a betrayal of the Mengo. The Clan Leaders are getting anointed and getting in good favours by acting in the manner of which President wants. However, they are undermining the leadership above them within the Kingdom. That’s a bad look…
The Mengo, Kabaka and Katikkiro should think about the implications of this, as they are weakened and their clan leaders are made into beggars of the state. Instead of honourable leaders within the Kingdom. They are coming for a handout to the Head of State, instead of awaiting their turn with the King and the Lukiko. Therefore, this is a political play where the President gets everything and Mengo is outplayed. Peace.
