“FDC’s Dr. Kizza Besigye has said that his earlier plan to go to the court and watch as Gen. Kale kayihura was charged was thwarted because he received information that the police chief would not show up” (NTV Uganda, 2016)



So the hired Police demonstrators that cause violence is accepted by the Police Commander, but the Political Activist are not allowed to enter Makindye Court today. The Impunity and nonsense from NRM-Regime an Uganda Police Force are shown as the Character of lack of serious morals are unbound by any serious action. IGP Kale Kayihura proves his arrogance and his bitterness towards fellow citizens with this act. Peace.
PS: thanks to Honourable Frank Mwijukye for uploading this online.

“If someone files a case against you that you believe to be foolish & lacking in merit, don’t get a mob. Get a lawyer. They know what to do” – David F.K. Mpanga
The Police Brutality case at Makindye Court today where weak and flawed as the IGP Kale Kayihura have for two days now let the people in his honour be able to demonstrate against his courtship. Unprecedented in the Uganda we know today where the Police crackdown on any dissidents and any reactions of the citizens. So the ironic part is that it is a just cause to celebrate and demonstrate for justice for the Police Officers, which brutality attacks innocent civilians. But if the civilians and citizens demonstrate for another cause that isn’t for the state than the Public Order Management Act (POMA) comes to effect immediately.
“Pro-Kayihura placard-carrying protesters inside Makindye court where police boss is expected. Nicholas Opiyo, a lawyer who has been at the court since 6:00AM says the group was transported to the court and “deployed” by the Kabalagala DPC” (NBS TV Uganda, 09.08.2016).
Therefore the case in Makindye Court, we’re profound and important for the Citizens versus the Police. Because the Police is there for the Citizens and not for the Police itself or the ruling regime; the Police might act as an prolonged arm for the ruling regime, but in theory they should represent and secure the safety of all citizens not only the Executive and his NRM Elite.
“Makindye court has allowed Director of Public Prosecution to formally file application for consideration to join case as court adjourns to 29th August. IGP Kayihura and seven other officers have failed to appear in court” (NBS TV Uganda, 09.08.2016).

So as we speak and nobility of men is supposed to be profound, but that is dimming and getting grounded at Makindye Court as the Police Officers charged never got summoned and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Edward Kale Kayihura never turned up. As the importance of the matter wasn’t there; he and the Police Officers knew it was fraudulent as all the political cases against opposition in courts this year. Therefore the validity of showing up to it was pointless. The result of it and the determined subject doesn’t need take a stand for the questionable behavior of the Police.
There the Mayor of Kampala who appeared in Court wrote this:
“I can’t believe what am witnessing at Makindye court; total breakdown of rule of law. Now confined in the Magistrate’s chambers as the situation in court’s premises is fluid” (Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago, 09.08.2016).

The irony about the demonstrators they we’re all shipped in and didn’t become more. As the Police Officers have let them in peace; there is also evidence of that one guy have written the placards with the same handwriting in 5 languages. As the supporters of the Police are hired men who demonstrates; therefore the hired demonstrations are okay in Uganda, but public dismay is cracked down with force from the Police Force. Therefore the Court and Case in the Courtroom today even it if has released or given any indication of justice today.
As the Police gave the Police Supporters leeway that they even went into vandalism and not only threw water on Lawyer Abdalla Kiwanuka, but also went into destroy the lawyers car on the outside of the Court.
The men like Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and others who went to be witness in the case against the Police have been left behind and under Court Arrest by the same Police Force that we’re in question for their behavior. Also with his is Kawempe Local Councilor Muhammed Ssegirinya who presided with the friends of Lukwago.
“Barricaded in the Chambers of the Chief Magistrates Court of Makindye. Rowdy protesters want to beat up lawyers representing complainants” (Nicholas Opiyo, 09.08.2016).
Reported also be even getting to the Court, there we’re not rumors but in the press that a set of witnesses had backed out of affidavits and their testimonies as the men didn’t show up or wanted to. Because the reports saying some men or woman where paid by the Police to be silenced, if so that is worrying and signs that the Police doesn’t care to what extent they follow orders for the Executive in the republic.
“3 of the 5 witnesses pulled out saying they were bribed to testify” (Nduhukire NTV, 09.08.2016).
Instead of showing up for his court case IGP Kale Kayihura continued with his ordinary work and we’re meeting with foreign dignitaries as the Algerian Police delegation at the Central Police Headquarters in Kampala, as that is more important that actually answering for his misgivings and the brutality from under his leadership. Just like he didn’t care to show up for the Parliamentary Committee recently to answer their either. If you ever wonder if the man thinks he is above the law, the reality is that he thinks he sets the law and justifies it by being the General and Police Commander.
Because of the created havoc on the outside of Makindye Court Lord Mayor Lukwago had to be evacuated by the Police Officers through the Police created protest. The same lawyer of Chapter4Uganda Nicholas Opiyo was saying to the Police it wasn’t safe to leave the premises for him as the demonstrators are in lynching mode.
How Lukwago left the Court:
“VIDEO: Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has safely left Makindye court under heavy police protection from pro-Kayihura protesters #KayihuraInCourt HT/@micoh” (NBS TV Uganda, 09.08.2016)
So let it be known to what extent the IGP Kayihura and the NRM goes to silence the ones questioning them. This happens as the mob of demonstrators are now going against the petitioners who questioning the brutality of the Police towards demonstrators and civilians who pass by Opposition Politicians. The men demonstrating for Kayihura can throw stones and act as vigilantes without any cost, but if somebody else did for a cause against the ruling regime they would been taken to prison, to court or being beaten senseless in the streets.
This is just not justice for none, not for the citizens and not for the Police. The questions remain if the demonstrators we’re doing for somebody else if they would have done while being guarded by the Police officers themselves. The Justice and rules of law are a charade at this point. The legality and the means of laws to regulate and set the standard for civilian liberty is doubting when the demonstrators works without any sanctions. They we’re shipped by the Police early in the morning and harassing the petitioners after the Court where adjourned. This proves the mentality of the rules and fairness in the Republic. Something the IGP and President Museveni must be so proud of. Peace.

Today another day the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) former Presidential Candidate we’re actually produced in Nakawa Court for his conduct during the Campaign and Post-Election period. Where the State and the Republic of Uganda, acts of treason have occurred, like a wildflower spring in the midst of house-arrest and detained for existing in Uganda and driving in the notorious van to Naggalama Police Station in Mukono.

The reality of today is that he was in court addressing his own concern and trial of the charge of treason. Not with lawyers or spokesmen for him. As the FDC supporters and many of the leadership we’re not allowed in, as certain of the leadership as before we’re arrested before arriving. Ingrid Turinawe was arrested at Spear Motors as she was addressing the media. As well as Joram Kyenjojo Mwesige and Davis Kamutima also got detained before arriving towards the court today; together the trio we’re all posted today by the Police Force at the Jinja Road Police Station. Another who also was arrested the Spear Motors was the newly elected MP Hon. Geoffrey Ekanya.
Before the trial at the Nakawa Court the Police Commander and the Police Officers went brutally on the media and even beating the camera-men and journalist who was covering the trial as Besigye arrived and came into the area. For instance one of the journalists assaulted by the police we’re Daily Monitor’s Abubakar Lubowa. The Police commander in charge of today’s brutal events we’re Siraj Bakaleke.

The words of Besigye as the trial stated the effect of being in prison and the way the charges been put, as the favorable for the Police and not for him as a citizen. As he said: “He thought he was innocent until he was proven guilty, but prison authorities are already treating him like he is guilty”. As he also said on his campaign that has been a torn in the government flesh: “The struggle continues. Encourage our people not to lose hope. If I get bail, the defiance campaign will resume immediately”.
As Lord Mayor Lukwago stated later today:
“The State, that has always treated Dr. Besigye as a terrorist, shamelessly reneged on their earlier commitment to wind up their investigations before today’s court sitting. We hope the Magistrate will be assertive on the issue of our brother’s rights when he visits Luzira prisons early next week, as he has undertaken. It’s also our prayer that the High Court will expeditiously dispose off the bail application fixed for 6th July, in case it’s not Eid day” (Erias Lukwago, 29.06.2016).

With this in mind, the Police Force have adjourning the Treason Case for yet another trial date until the 13th July, where the Police and the State will continue where they left off and continue the charade of masquerade of lawfulness in the matter. While Besigye is still lingering as suspect of foul behavior against the republic as the common criminal he is it seems, and not the opposition leader and people’s president. The reality of the matter is that this is stalling until stop caring about the rigged election and wants to move on, just like Gen. Mugisha Muntu spoke of late. The reasoning for the trial is that he hasn’t done anything and the state cannot produce the evidence and create it, it will not fly in court, just as the witnesses in other cases of the recent weeks where the contradictory statements and witnesses together with weak tea from the preceding judges. The truth will come onto the surface and hit the state with a rock. They cannot silence the men of reason and rule of law, against the one-man rule of Mzee. Peace.

As of yesterday the Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka of Nakawa, Kampala is have been questioned in recent days at the SIU Kireka, as of the rumored plots of serious conspiracy against the state! While FDC’s Presidential Candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye is still charged with treason in Luzria Maximum Security Prison. So two major key players who are against the NRM Regime is detained, while the homes of Hon. Kabaziguruka both in Kampala and the on at Lake View Village have been searched. He has later gotten back to his home in Kampala and is set under House Arrest! According to the family friends on ground, over 8 police cars and over 25 security personnel both in uniform and in non uniform around the house of Hon. Kabaziguruka!
“Case against Besigye, oppo. figures fails to kick off due to lack of bench quorum, adjourned until June 23” (NBS TV Uganda, 2016).
“Nakawa MP Michael Kabaziguruka released on police bond, under house arrest at his Luzira home” (NBS TV Uganda, 10.06.2016).

As much as also Darius Tweyambe, the Rukungiri Campaign director for FDC has been harassed by the Police Force of late. There been Kifesi gang that has tried to get rid of him. The regime has escalated the violence against the FDC.

Erias Lukwago Statement:
“This afternoon, Hon. Moses Kasibante and I moved to the home of Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka at Lake View village Luzira, to witness a Police search. It was obvious that the police were on a fishing expedition, in a futile attempt to link him to subversion. They have now whisked him back to SIU Kireka, without any formal charge being preferred against him” (Lukwago, 09.05.2016).

Just as this is happening the Forum for Democratic Change Headquarters in Najjankumbi in Kampala have been yet again besieged by the Police. The Police are working hard to manufacturing evidence of conspiracy as they are responsible for insurgency in Uganda.

I am sure that CP Fred Enaga or ACP Polly Namaye are soon coming out with a statement that they had intelligence for some serious danger of national security and that there were persons involved in the party that are involved in possible crimes against the state. What the Ugandan Government isn’t saying that they fear the FDC Radicals and the FDC men behind Dr. Kizza Besigye, who knows how the Republic of Uganda, got stolen again from President Museveni. Therefore they are oppressive from the ones they stole it from, as they know that the Police under IGP Kale Kayihura is working for the National Resistance Movement. And they don’t do this to much of the others as they doesn’t have the same assertiveness behind their cause and justified the means of questioning the General Election of 2016. Peace.
Is this the level of impunity from the Police:


NEW YORK, United States of America, June 10, 2016 – The Secretary-General expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the continued sacrifices made by the Ugandan troops of AMISOM in Somalia, and emphasized the critical importance of AMISOM staying the course against Al-Shabaab for the sake of Somalia and regional security.

“Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago warns the newly appointed minister for Kampala Beti Kamya to stick to her assignments and not sabotage his work if they are to have a better working relationship. Kamya who is also the President of Uganda Federal Alliance while reacting to the news about her appointment however downplayed suggestions that she has abandoned her political party” (NTV Uganda, 2016)
