Opinion: IGP Kayihura court case adjourned as the State suffers to produce key witnesses; also the violent demonstrations against petitioners show the impunity!

Makindye Court 09082016

“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).

Makindye Court 09082016 P2

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).

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.  

Press Statement on the Developments pertaining to the Prosecution of Gen. Kale Kayihure and others for Police Brutality (09.08.2016)

IGP Kayihura Press Release 09082016

NRM proves their control with two cases today: One with Lumumba’s planned power and promotion of Ruhindi for the EC!

NRM-P

The NRM and President Museveni cannot help himself to centralize the power around his loyal men and woman who he knows he can corrupt. This can be done by money and they’re not getting trouble as Mzee hides the issues of this corruption. Therefore the Kyankwanzi words of Museveni that he would fight corruption are three-decades in and useless uttering of hot-air. As seen by the recent actions, only today alone. Take a look!

Justine Kasule Lumumba

First NRM Case- Secretary Justine Kasule Lumumba order:

“One of the resolutions read thus: “The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, and relevant Ministries, shall submit loan requests one month in advance to the Prime Minister and the Secretary General for inter-sectoral scrutiny before loans are contracted, to confirm that the said loans are aligned to the NRM Manifesto, and the Strategic Guidelines and Directives.” (…) “The NRM leadership and the Secretariat shall be involved in all aspects of policy formulation and implementation, and in the national budgeting process,” agreed the ministers and permanent secretaries” (…) “Further, the Kyankwanzi meeting also agreed that “The National Development Planning processes, policy formulation and implementation, budgeting, among others shall faithfully reflect and embody the NRM Manifesto 2016 – 2021, and the Strategic Guidelines and Directives issued by the President to Cabinet” (TheInsider.co.ug, 2016).

The Secretary General that took over for Amama Mbabazi wants to flex more after the General Election and Campaign period where she promised to kill the ones going against the NRM Organization and Party. As the NRM we’re destined to run the country. This is again proving that the NRM EC and NRM NEC doesn’t have it in them to fulfil the forms after the General Election where they we’re questioning her leadership abilities. Now months after this grievances are left behind. She is suddenly a controlling mastermind that is loyal to Museveni and therefore deserves the nudge of checking the transactions of the Ministries and Parliament budget; as the small loans in the Public Finance Management Act Amendment of 2015, could let the Ministries when needed short term loans take them from Bank of Uganda without the permission of the Parliament. Now the shortcut of the laws is taken one step back, but will be transparent through the leadership and Secretary General of NRM Lumumba. This proves the impunity and disregard for the Parliamentary procedure of procurement. The Ministries when needed loans have to go to Lumumba for their debts and the need for new fiscal funds to finance their work; that is just so accountable as she can accept monies for her friends and NRM loyalist, but from others she can discard. As the request are deemed in her hands, not in any other. NRM will control the requests for loans for the ministries before the PFMA 2015; that is just showing how democratic the NRM have become over the years.

Fred Ruhindi TV

Second NRM Case- Fred Ruhindi to take EC Commissioner’s seat:   

“According to credible sources, Ruhindi, a former Attorney General and Minister for Constitutional Affairs will replace Eng. Badru Kiggundu whose tenure reportedly ends at the end of this month” (…) “The soft-spoken Ruhindi lost the Nakawa seat to Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Michael Kabaziguruka, and has since then withdrawn to private life” (Kawalya, 2016).

The Hon. Michael Kabaziguruka who are still detained for treason as he was plotting to get rid of President Museveni; the man who brought the Attorney General position in Parliament to an end. Therefore the resurrection of the Museveni loyalist wouldn’t be surprising as the resurface of Gen. Kahinda Otafiire in the cabinet as the other loyal cadre lost both the NRM Primary and the General Election this year. President Museveni has a way of paying back to loyal man. If he would give this role to Fred Ruhindi it would be fitting to have a blind “yes man” as the Electoral Commission leader, as the EC have failed and lost so many NRM MPs after the election as the EC didn’t vet and check the credentials of the candidates properly before running the ballot. Also the frauds of the election have also been very evident therefore many reasons for the President to change leaders of the EC before next election to not lose face again. With the fraudulent recent election has backfired and somebody has to fall on their sword; luckily for the Ugandans not the head-honcho, but the puppet filling in the forms for the Mzee. Peace.

The Calvary in massive debt after the General Election of 2016

UPF 11.02.2016 Block FDC P1

Oh Gee, who knew right? Who would have thought that the Uganda Police Force would generate such amount of money trouble that the issue came for the Parliament on the 3rd of August 2016. Months upon Months after the General Election; the costly re-election of the politicized partisan police gets into fiscal issues. After using live bullet, throwing most of Forum for Democratic Change hardliners and candidates into detentions, house-arrest of Presidential Candidates, using the flying squad for house-calls and even monitoring all kind of political activity. Even with the extra budget for military and Police Force for the Post-Election violence; still the tab for the Police Force under Inspector General Edward Kale Kayihura has overspent the cash-flow of the “ministry”.

Who knew right? With the House-arrest the overflowing of helicopters, mambas, tear-gas and newly brought equipment in the docks of Mombasa days before the polls; the man-hours and the expensive new cars for the District Police Commanders, the tab had to be expensive. The paychecks and the little payment for the providing Crime Preventers who knocked down and supposed to silence opposition also cost a buck or two.

New Equipment for UG Police 23.02.2016

The reasoning for the capital are all there, the reminders of the payments for the service rendered. The validity of using fortunes on keeping Besigye and FDC under siege has had its cost. The report in Parliament today we’re staggering Shs. 91 billion in debt for the Police Force. Because of this IGP Kayihura chickened out of showing up and address the deficiency as the meager violent leader he is.

Not to talk about the man hours and cost for keeping opposition youth behind bars, the escalated kangaroo courts up and the massive overload of petitions for freeing the men and woman who got caught. As the spying police forces together with payments for crime preventers and their training facilities before and during election period. The Uganda Police Force must be so proud of their efforts.

The continuing shipment of political activists and the guarding of public schools and hospitals in the districts also cost money instead of catching thieves and the ones doing corrupt activity. This also put on the tab. So the reasons for the overburden of budget and monies are enormous. The ironic thing is that IGP Kayihura who doesn’t like to be put in questioned or monitored; should have some fiscal sense as the Intelligence gathering apparently doesn’t comply to the ways he spends the fortunes on keeping Besigye at bay in his Kasangati home or making sure that Lukwago doesn’t get to deliver his Election form on time. The jollies of being Police Commander in Uganda, I guess.

IGP Kale Kayihura 16.12.15 P2

The ones that should pay this is the ones that have a hard time understanding the cost of operations of this kind, the man that just orders, but doesn’t deliver. The long living and eternal ruler Museveni who the PC Kayihura follows like a blind dog; time to sell a bunch of goats and cows to Salva Kiir of South Sudan, as Riek Machar just stole a bunch from him; I shouldn’t have said it, they might do it at the end of the day. More likely they find a new way of taking the foreign exchange from Bank of Uganda or even steal more from state coffers as they always do. If they didn’t then it wouldn’t be the NRM-Regime and Museveni way.

Those who we’re surprised and shocked forgot the aggravated actions of the Police Force during the elections as they even had pre-ticked ballots in Police vehicles and at Police Stations. The Police is full-fledged part of the NRM-O at this point of history, their violent right hand to fist the public with their batons and throw tear-gas at them. They are just vicious and brutal. Just like their master Museveni who likes guns and cows, but hate opposition. Peace.  

Besigye: Proposed government amendment to land act is a ploy to steal land (Youtube-Clip)

“Dr Kizza Besigye has revealed that a proposal by the ruling party to have express powers to develop any private land is a ploy to grab people’s possession. While addressing a news conference at his home in Kasangati, Wakiso district, Besigye said if passed as an amendment into law, this proposal will contravene the Constitution. During a Cabinet retreat at the National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi last weekend, the NRM leaders mulled over an amendment to the Land Act, which gives government powers to acquire any land from private owners” (NTV Uganda, 2016)

Opinion: Museveni and NRM think nowadays that the Ugandans are stupid!

Museveni Kyankwanzi 01.08.2016

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.”

― Napoléon Bonaparte

I might be first to say, but the acts of the Government and the details of conspiracy from the Ugandan Government. They must think that their citizens are stupid or at least fools for accepting their acts of the Executive and his party. The NRM cronies in their minds are paying to save businesses connected with brother of the Executive. Imagine, this being Museveni’s brother Gen. Salim Selah and other contributors, who happen to donate to the expensive campaign and the NRM House that never see the light of day. While claiming this is for saving businesses connected with the now civil-war actions of South Sudan, there might be businesses from Uganda or Ugandan owned in the South Sudanese country, but the list of businesses that we’re released online. None of them had connected businesses in Juba or directly exporting to South Sudan. So Museveni, thinks the Ugandans are stupid or acts like they are.  

This together with the UBC land that got sold to Burahya County MP Margaret Muhanga for 10 billion shillings, she happens to sell enough cows and goats to get the money for the 23 acres land. As the government controlled broadcaster could accept the monies. The idea of gathering enough cattle and goats are flabbergasting, and she claimed people we’re laughing at her for that claim. That is not so strange even the Executive doesn’t have enough cattle to fetch 10 billion shillings for a giant property. The good news is that today reported from Parliament that she has do deliver the deed back to Uganda Broadcasting Company by Friday. Though wonder if the government would have pushed for the same if the land was sold to foreign investor in the name of Aga Khan or other ones buying hunting ground in Amuru?

The Executive, Museveni thinks Ugandans are stupid and fools, as he thinks they can swallow the shallow excuse to extend his power for life. “A statement from State House Entebbe said the president received the proposal seeking the amendment of Article 102(b) to remove the age limitation from a group from the ruling NRM led by Kyankwanzi woman MP Ann-Maria Nankabirwa. “President Yoweri Museveni has received a resolution from the Kyankwanzi National Resistance Movement (NRM) leaders calling for the amendment of the Constitution by Parliament to lift presidential age limit from the current 75 years to none,” the statement reads in part. In March this year, the proposal to do away with the age cap for those contesting for the presidency is said to have come under discussion during a retreat of newly elected members of the NRM at the Kyankwanzi Leadership Training Institute. However, party officials denied it” (Mpagi, 2016). He the Executive thinks Ugandans are stupid and didn’t see this coming from the man who already scrapped the term limits made in the newly created 1995 Constitution. Therefore that he wished to amend the constitution and laws again to fit his paradigm wouldn’t be altering with the perception and status quo under his leadership. Museveni has always made laws fitting his actions and his perspective of leading. As he has blamed everybody else and claimed there we’re other responsible than him or his political elite. That the Kyankwanzi are trying to put an amendment to the law to fit his now rule-for-life alternative; the Ugandan people must have seen this coming from the man that has ruled with iron and guns since 1986. Therefore the only ones not believing he wouldn’t retract or change the laws to his benefit hasn’t followed the class of Museveni.

So, what do you think? Do you think that Museveni thinks Ugandans are stupid and gullible to believe anything his PR Team and State House gives to the Media; as the placing of changing the laws happens to happen right after the election and when their been speculation about his real age. Do you think he will get away with it as he has the majority rule of Parliament and they will listen to his reasoning as he dolce out monies so they will vote in favour of his changes of laws as they did in the 9th Parliament and before that as well! Peace.

Museveni’s deluded mind on Civil Servants and Police Brutality!

Museveni Kenya Speech 2016

One of these days President Museveni will say something profound and deep, meaningful and deceitful, but until then he is in his ordinary bloated mood where address giant government and to many civil servants; while he defends Police officers with their brutality against the citizens both the President and the Police are supposed to secure. So the nobility and honour of state is not there. Just take a look!

“The President has subsequently tasked former Finance minister Dr Ezra Suruma to lead a study on the bloated public service and associated wage bill and recommend appropriate actions for the government to take. One of the solutions Mr Museveni proposed, according to a source that attended the Cabinet retreat that ended in Kyankwanzi last night, is to reduce the number of civil servants. Discussions at the closed-door meeting were grainy, another source said, after permanent secretaries demanded for a pay rise saying the Shs3 million salary they get is inadequate yet they hold and account for budgets running into trillions of shillings” (Mugerwa, 2016).

Uganda districts

The ironic behind this scheme to cut civil servants is the bloated Parliament with the run-of-the-mill amount of Members of Parliament and the giant Cabinet of the 2016-2021. So the amount of extra paid Government Officials at the highest institution has never been bigger than now. As well as the steady arrivals under President Museveni, that being the extended levels of newly formed districts and sub-counties all over Uganda. In 1980 the abolishment of Provinces and created into districts as there 33 districts in Uganda, by late 2010 the NRM Regime have created 111 districts. All of these created districts are getting civil servants and clerical work as due diligence and securing the districts priority and service delivery in the district.

“In July, this year, particulars of about 5,000 civil servants were deleted from the payroll in a questionable clean up exercise. There are currently some 300,000 employed, with an additional 10,830 pending validation, according to the Public Service ministry records” (Mugerwa, 2016). And there is not weird it is 300,000 civil servants in Uganda, as the bloated government institutions, commissions and institutes; together with schools and making sure the next corrupt scheme from UNRA get hidden, means that the Ugandan Government need more people to run the districts, unless they are just shells of government to create spaces to secure loyalty to NRM cronies and not be a governing facility for the territory or dominion of the locals. But that wasn’t the initial plan for all of the expansions as this was part of grand plan for local democracy and wider-building the Resistance Councils after the bush-war. But if he really plans to trim the Civil Servants, why does he right before election in 2015 adds 25 more districts, one that even his loyal saint Gen. Kahinda Otafiire doesn’t even wanted see the light of day?

UPF Brutality

So now that I have addressed his deluded mind when it comes to Civil Servants, time to take a swipe at his defense of Police Brutality:

“Where the Police are caught in some issues is mainly to do with people like Dr. Besigye. There are other opposition leaders; I have not heard them getting involved in these conflicts with the police. There are there: Cecilia Ogwal (FDC strong woman and MP for Dokolo district), people like DP’s Mao (Norbert, who is the DP party president), the UPCs and others.  The whole thing is Besigye and with his indiscipline and lawlessness” (…) “Where they demonstrating peacefully or they were violent against the Police?  If they were demonstrating peacefully and you attack them then you are not doing your role. But if they were violent against the Police—throwing stones, then the Police will have to react. And one way of non-lethal reacting is what they call baton-charge. This is provided for in the Police Act” (Lamu, 2016).

M7 01.08.2016

What is deluded now? It is that the Besigye by-passers are apparently violent and therefore deserve to be directly punished from the Police Officers with sticks. The issues are that most of them are an ordinary civilian who shows up when the car of FDC’s leader Dr. Kizza Besigye passes by. So by-passers and people’ on the sidewalk are determined to be punished.

What is justice of being a random by-passer to a car with a political opposition and therefore as waving to the noble politician you are quickly harassed and beaten with batons. That President Museveni blames Besigye right away without any checks of the footage or video of it that proves the malicious attempts of injustice done by the officers. Then claiming to be using violence against the police officers… That is just preposterous as this is civilians without any malicious intent. Therefore the grand scheme of things is just like Ntungamo-Clashes where the NRM and Police were not guilty, but the men of Amama Mbabazi and his Go-Forward. Therefore all violence is always other people’s fault. Just like all post-election violence in Kasese and Rwenzori sub-region was deemed to be stronghearted individuals even if the Flying-Squad and Police Officers shot at Rwenzururu Kingdoms Royal Guards in the villages or at the Royal Palace. So the defense of the Police comes out of the mouth from their master, President Museveni! Who defends the Police Officers and blames to citizens who cheers the opposition. This proves the malice intent of the President and silence the public for their appreciation of the Opposition. Think about that for a minute, right? Peace.
