“Is there anyone who thinks Besigye is right to operate outside the law? If you do… you must be sick” – Hon. Jim Muhwezi
Hon. Jim Muhwezi the Minster of Information and National Guidance follows the Party line of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura who has gone out and told media not cover the “Defiance Campaign” and the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Uganda. This happens on the 5th May National Demonstrations for a International Audit of General Election of 2016. Something the Ruling Party NRM has no interest of letting happen. The Ones that does live broadcast of the demonstrations and Defiance campaign might lose their license and lose their ability to broadcast anything at all; so to follow advise of the President to write about and broadcast the empty hospitals who doesn’t have medicine as he wanted the other day to focus on the Health Care.

And if you do care about that there is a running Yellow Fever Vaccine Scandal at the moment in Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) between them and the National Medical Stores (NMS). Where the Vaccines are getting sold or gone in the wind as teh KCCA have one claim, while the NMS have proof of delivering it. Can please Hon. Jim Muhwezi speak about that, so he does as his master commands him?

“UCC: We can control TV and radio but if you must go ahead and use social media for defiance, the government will control it”.
On Social Media:
“Government bans live broadcast of FDC’s defiance campaign, vows to shut social media: “We know about VPN but if we have to shut down social media completely, we will. We constantly communicate with Facebook and Twitter. We can shut down social media platforms if we have to,” government roars” (Daily Monitor, 05.05.2016).

“I had planned to travel to North Korea and China to see how it’s done. I don’t have to anymore, thanks to you know who” – Andrew Mwanguhya (Daily Monitor Journalist).

As of this morning Dr. Kizza Besigye the leader of the FDC is on the second day of House Arrest. MP Elect Francis Mwijuke has been put under same arrest this morning. Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago is also put under house arrest today. The Kabarole Chairperson Nyakato Ruasoke has been arrested in Fort Portal.

There been demonstrations at Makerere University and Kyambogo University in Kampala. They have both been dispersed by the Police with tear-gas and anti-riot police squad cars. By all means so that means throwing tear-gas at the students!

There been grand demonstrations in Busia where the Police Force went in heavy and dispersed the demonstrators in the town.
Shops have been closed in Rukungiri where there we’re reports of live fire in the early morning. The shops closing been verified, but the shooting has not been.

More from Kampala:
“Situation check in Kampala. Mother nature has brought a truce , we have retreated for shelter services to be resumed. Meanwhile we shall wear the military down. They can’t eat on the guard so by 5 pm they will be worn out” (Moses Atocon Atyekwo, 2016).
As the demonstrations continues and resumes. Even if new ones comes; the Defiance continues even if President Museveni and the men of Resistance doesn’t see the problem with resistance and resisting authority as that was the way they came to power. They resisted Obote, and now the Opposition and their supporters defy them. Civil disobedience not committing a crime; as the court order is flawed and can be countered by what is written in the 1995 constitution. By my reckoning that constitution is supposed to be the standard law of the land where the Resistance is the ruling party who has trouble with Defiance. Long live the National Resistance Movement and their foolish poetic injustice that manifested yet another day in Uganda. Peace.

“Police maintain heavy deployment outside Kizza Besigye’s Kasangati home, journalists not allowed access” (NBS TV Uganda, 05.05.2016).


This is just the early morning. Just think about with the already house-arrests and the Army deployment in Kampala. There will be actions done by this day and as the day goes by there will reactions to it. Let’s see and wonder how it all will go down. Not to talk about how the Uganda Police Force and Uganda People’s Defense Force will act towards fellow citizens. Peace.

Nationwide protests, a test of Government’s commitment to civil and political rights.
Tens of thousands of Ugandans, from all walks of life, will be gathering in cities and towns across the country this Today in peaceful protest against the government’s persistent violation of their basic civil and political rights.
Organised by the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) to oppose the planned inauguration of Mr. Yoweri Museveni after fraudulent elections, the protests have taken on new urgency after many Ugandans were arrested or otherwise prevented from gathering to pray for a peaceful resolution to the political crisis gripping the country. The government’s move to prevent its citizens from gathering to pray is extraordinary and unprecedented.
Uganda held presidential and parliamentary elections on 18th February, 2016 that EU observers found to be “eclipsed by an atmosphere of intimidation”. Despite widespread evidence of fraud and mounting international criticism, the government has resisted calls by Rt. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye to resolve the disputed vote through an independent audit of the electoral process.

Earlier this week, that resistance turned into outright panic when police enforced a cadre Judge’s outrageous judgement banning protesters from meeting to pray for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing dispute. The Lord Mayor of Kampala, Erias Lukwago, several religious leaders and ordinary citizens were arrested for no offence other than seeking to exercise their fundamental religious rights.
Mr. Museveni’s regime has thus escalated the conflict from one of electoral rights to basic freedom of religion. This is likely to backfire: Ugandans are a deeply religious people. The FDC and its pro-democratic allies will stay the course, peacefully insisting upon their constitutional rights to determine their own future and that of their country.
We can only hope that the regime will take this opportunity to pull back and seek a peaceful resolution to a conflict of its own creation. One way or another, Ugandans, and only Ugandans, will determine who leads their country. We pray that today, Mr. Museveni and his associates choose a path of peace and respect for the people they purport to govern.
ENDS.
“Military patrols on Entebbe road ahead of the FDC demonstration. They are guarding places like Petrol Stations. Reports by Stephen Kafeero” (Daily Monitor, 05.05.2016).

So if either Dr. Jennifer Musisi have any answers? Do Hon. Frank Tumwebaze any wise words to the world? Lastly does the new guy Presidential Advisor for Kampala Affairs Singh Katongole any words to utter? I don’t expect wisdom from Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago since Musisi and Tumwebaze impeached him and during the period you guys have run the place. Do you have any wisdom, If you have feel free to comment on the blog and drop the wisdom on the matter; as the leadership are on your shoulders. Please do and comment as the Vaccine have been delivered and then went into thin air… Peace.

The great news from the Makindye Magistrate Court have finally given a verdict a Non-Cash Bond of 5 Million shillings. So the rumors were wrong even if the ordinary Modus Operandi would be to detain the Fellow FDC Activist.
“Suspects rounded up Tuesday as they attempted to hold FDC prayers granted UGX5 million non-cash and UGX20m non-cash for sureties” (NBS TV Uganda, 04.05. 2016).
Asuman Basalirwa said this in court: “The court needs to protect individual rights and prevent lawlessness. This adversely strains their welfare .Its Ironical that the same state who,s motto is For God and My Country is holdings citizens for praying. Bail should not be refused mechanically”.
So there are hope, but if the demonstrations happen tomorrow, don’t be surprised if the same fellows will be back in custody of the Police. Because they will use all force stop the FDC from demonstrating. Therefore they have house-arrested Dr. Kizza Besigye again! Peace.

The Men and Woman who was detained yesterday for attending the FDC Tuesday Prayers are charged with contempt of Court Order. That Court Order is the Interim Order of banning of the Defiance Campaign of 29th April of Deputy Justice Stephen Kavuma. The 29 Activist have deemed themselves not guilty. Amongst them are Dr. Stella Nyanzi, Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and Pastor Happy David Ngabo.
Here is the charge paper:

Think that is enough for now. It seems like the rumours was justified and that the Opposition activist, Leaders and others was deemed to be detained as the NRM Regime continues to strive for excellence of forging the power. Seeming likely that they will be denied bail and continue to be detained and under Police Custody. Peace.
Update:
All six suspects charged in Kiira Court for DEFIANCE have been released after paying UGX 1.8M in bail fees. So the FDC Activists there was atlest released, but the tale of the Campaign of Defiance is not yet over. It is just starting.

As of the actions yesterday by the Uganda Police Force that detained the men and woman who tried to attend the FDC Tuesday Prayers at FDC Headquarters at Najjankumbi have not gotten bail by the authorities (that is what is rumored to be the end-game). They are now kept in jail and detained as result of the actions of the Police who took them away on the spot.

The Activist have taken to Makindye Courts with the likes of Dr. Stella Nyanzi who also tried to attend the prayers without getting there before taking by the Police yesterday. So she and other activist are taken by Force after a day in being detained to court. As the men and woman surely will again be jailed as the Court has denied them bail. Though the certainty of their violation of law is not yet appeared. Other than them was involved in trying to defy the Interim order of 29th April 2016. At the Courts Pastor Sandra K. Ngabo and the kids, was not allowed to attend or allowed to enter the session in court.

So the Police Force and the authorities is busy making common men and woman into criminals instead of actually taking criminals who actually does crime. Peace.
