The Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations and General Muhoozi Kainerubaga are openly campaigning for himself under the banner of MK Movement. That is the initial gist in 2023. There is no disguise or way else to see it. The birthday bashes was only the beginning and now his ramping it up.
The General Elections of 2026 cannot come fast enough. So, he can use his leverage, privilege and wealth to excel in politics. Even if his a shallow human being who hasn’t been tested or proven in any capacity. He wouldn’t be where he is without his father and his appointments. It is his father who has opened up all doors and given him the opportunities. No one else has gone that quickly through the ranks and been able to run their own unit, the Special Forces Command (SFC). Later being appointed the Commander of the Land Forces of the UPDF too. Therefore, we know the drill and “Project Muhoozi” is now in full effect.
The actions in Teso is in continuation of everything else. He is travelling across the Republic. Making sports tournaments and other excuses to be in public. While there is no campaign or no election road map opening up for it. That’s why the Opposition cannot even mobilize or be able to gather within their own parties without hostile reception from the authorities. While the General can do what he pleases and have the whole entourage with him. That’s why 300 MPs can participate and be guests at the rally, which the state says 20,000 was attending.
This is done in public. By a General and an Army Commander. It is done by a Senior Presidential Advisor and General. A man who has to follow code and law. Laws are broken and doesn’t matter in concern with Muhoozi. The UPDF Act is pointless or meaningless. Neither does it matter that his a civil servant and an appointed as such, and still campaigning for his own cause. Many other places people would have resigned from their offices before doing so. However, in this case… his above that and has all the authority to do so.
What is just striking to me… is the hypocrisy and the troublesome affairs of it all. Muhoozi will only bring trouble and his a violent brute. There is no real justification for his ticket or Movement for that matter. Only a personification and extending the reign within the Museveni family. Muhoozi doesn’t bring anything new or fresh to the table. The other questionable aspect of him running is that it could be seen as a violation of the 1995 Constitution, as the Presidential Candidate are supposed to be born in the Republic and be Ugandan citizen. Yes, Muhoozi is a citizen of the Republic, but he was born in the Untied Republic of Tanzania. Meaning he by practical means shouldn’t be eligible, but we know the authorities and the state will amend the law or make some adjustment to make him “legit”.
Alas, Muhoozi on the campaign trail early, just like his father who has used Operation Wealth Creation and other schemes to speak across the nation. The same trick uses the son who makes tournaments and other festivities. Just so he can be on stage and feel a moment of glory. So, the General can feel like a big man and be the next supreme leader. Though he has nothing to show for it and only rented crowds, plenty of “yes men” and people dancing because his paying for their feast. They are all there to get their cut and call it a night.
Muhoozi might think this is smart, brilliant and even wise. However it is not and this gig has been done before. His not the first or the last. The General might think he comes across as loveable or even sincere, but it’s all a mirage and sooner or later he will find out there is no water in the desert. Peace.

Today there was a home-coming party or house warming party in Bukedea District. That was at the new mansion, the poshest building in the area and biggest splash in memory. This was done the behest of Speaker Anita Among. She has built a huge house with lots rooms. In such a fashion, which resemble the aristocracy elsewhere.
We know the Teso region is hit with poverty and lack of resources. There been UBOS reports that states worrying numbers. While the Speaker doesn’t mind or couldn’t care. She is living like a Queen and has a Castle now. The Speaker is living the high life while others are starving. Plenty are malnourished and lacks food in her district. Meanwhile she built a building with more rooms than she ever would need or could care about.
This just shows the priority of the state. How the newfound riches and powerful is splurging cash. They are building opulent buildings and facades. This is manifesting their achievements and wealth. A wealth that is built on the treasury and national reserves. Because, it is not build on the craft of their own or their businesses. Since they couldn’t afford it before they joined politics.
Now we are seeing a Speaker who lives lavish and enjoys power. That’s why she is so flamboyant and public about it. She’s just oozing it and living her dream. While the district she represents and the nation isn’t living as large as she does. Most like the district she resides in is in the same predicaments as before she got into office. The schools are bad, health centres too and the roads are lacking. The government services are not to be trusted. Neither does plenty of citizens has electricity or water in their homes. While about 50% of the population in the District is living under the poverty line. Meaning they are struggling just to put food on their plate. Therefore, seeing this building should infuriate them and their struggle. When the person representing them are spending like this and showing it in their faces.
When the leaders, representatives and high ranking officials starts to live like this. Build like this and show their wealth. The poor should start to organize. They shouldn’t accept the public wastage of funds. It is not like the Speaker has earned this and honestly so. No, this is ill gotten gains and done with possible siphoned funds. While the government services is depilated. I’m sure we could find pictures of health centres or schools in the nearby areas that is beyond repair…
Alas, that is the case and it’s tragic. That a speaker of a nation can do this… when so many is suffering and struggling, the speaker doesn’t care and neither does the fellow MPs who was visiting. They had a blast and made the Speaker feel powerful. She had the possibility to do this and it has no ramifications for her. The Speaker can just live another day and live in assurance of prolonged power. That’s all she wants and sooner or later it will all tumble down.
Right now she is bashing in glory and in vast wealth. Tomorrow that could all fall and the house could become haunted too. We have seen this in the past and this house could become a relic of the Museveni era. As a reminder of the token soldiers who thought they were it, but when the time was up. It all went to pieces and the smouldering reality hit hard. There was no return and only mother nature returning to takeover the plot…
Speaker Anita Among might feel on top of the world today. What happens tomorrow is another day. Peace.



“Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act fundamentally contradicts the World Bank Group’s values. We believe our vision to eradicate poverty on a livable planet can only succeed if it includes everyone irrespective of race, gender, or sexuality. This law undermines those efforts. Inclusion and non-discrimination sit at the heart of our work around the world. Immediately after the law was enacted, the World Bank deployed a team to Uganda to review our portfolio in the context of the new legislation. That review determined additional measures are necessary to ensure projects are implemented in alignment with our environmental and social standards. Our goal is to protect sexual and gender minorities from discrimination and exclusion in the projects we finance. These measures are currently under discussion with the authorities. No new public financing to Uganda will be presented to our Board of Executive Directors until the efficacy of the additional measures has been tested” (World Bank Group Statement on Uganda, 08.08.2023).
Yes, the Anti-Homosexuality Act is wrong, by all accounts and definitions, as it is a tool to oppress one minority and their lifestyle. The government are not only interfering in their lives, but it is by all sense criminalizing one minority for populist gains. Alas, I will not dwell on that.
However, what I will do… is say my displeasure with the World Bank. The World Bank is ceasing their operations or diverting funds to the Government of Uganda. The World Bank is by far freezing funds for development projects and other planned efforts, which it has coordinated with the state. That is what is happening here and it’s all because of one law.
The same bank never had these actions when people died on the streets because of election rigging. Neither did the bank say anything or act swiftly when people are prolonged in jail for their political associations. Neither is the bank saying anything substantial when the military is interfering in all parts of society. The bank is silent when people are kept incommunicado or kidnapped. The bank hasn’t uttered a word or cared for the extra judicial killings. Neither does it care for the lack of services, health care or government services as a whole. Schools can be faulty and roads can be mismanaged. While “missing funds” are going on overtime and trillions of shillings are siphoned any Financial Year. Alas, the bank is silent on all of these. Not saying anything.
The bank is fine that the military courts are used to sentence and keep people of the streets. The bank is fine with political parties not allowed to assemble or even gather in public. The bank is fine that the state targets NGOs and CSOs. The bank is fine that state has ungazetted “safe-houses” where the dissidents and activists of the opposition are kept. The bank is fine that army and security organizations are monitoring and trailing high ranking officials in the opposition. That’s all fine and dandy…
but the moment the gays or the homosexuals are in trouble. That’s when you cry havoc. That’s when enough is enough. The hypocrisy. The audacity. When so many people are scorned, in pain or has lost loved ones. When people are kept behind bars for years and the police start the investigation after they have detained them. Assets and vehicles captured for years. Charges never ceased and cases never dropped. Politicians have long rap-sheets and a big book of charges while awaiting trials or even some sort of relief from the cases itself.
When you know all of this and suddenly read this statement from the World Bank. It is disappointing. This is the hill they want to die on. Not when it is systemic oppression, but one minority is hit. The whole society and the general public can be muffled, but there is just the one special class you are not allowed to touch. That’s the message I get here and it’s beneath the organization and the World Bank itself. If they believed in these things. They should have done so when they saw people dying in the hands of the guns of the state. Alas, we haven’t seen that and it shows that one life is more valuable than another. It shows that some people are more worthy than others. If you are a certain way, you can get access and get credit. If you are the other way. Well, good look and you can only hope for a better tomorrow… Peace.

There is no more jokes. No satire. There is just plenty of bridges burnt. Since the middle of July the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has spiralled out of control. The inner-circle of leaders who are at behest of the party. They are acting like king-pins and ruling with an iron fist. The two gentlemen are Party President Patrick Oboi Amuriat and Secretary General Nathan Nandala-Mafabi.
These two are making things worse by the day. None of their actions are righteous. Neither are they perfected or even in accordance with the Party Constitution. That’s why you know things are off. Just the way the Secretary General just changed the Chief Whip of the FDC in Parliament. That was done with a notification from the SG and not from NEC. Just like the Secretary General and Party President was fine that the National Council Meeting, which didn’t meet the threshold of attendance to count. However, the men in charge didn’t mind.
Just like the same folks had no trouble publishing and certifying an Elders Special Report on “dirty money” which was a shoddy piece of work. That was only created to exonerate the two and malign the detractors. Therefore, they are creating a setup and now implementing the changes without any concern of others.
That’s why they are pursuing the party elections, even in the midst of burning fires. There is no dialogue or talks between grieved fractions. No, the ones in-charge is just bluntly deciding the way forward without any acknowledgement of the others. Except for trying to muddy the waters and project on the other side. That’s all the inner-circle is doing and they think it is working.
While they have not only changed the Chief Whip without prior authorization to do so. In the same manner they are starting disciplinary cases against 9 members. That has been selected by the Party President. This is vindictive and malicious attempts to undermine the ones who is challenging them.
It is just showing what sort of leadership and how easily you can come in contempt. While it is selective outrage and outbursts, as Besigye wasn’t one of the 9 and neither Francis Mwijuke. So, God knows what criteria or brain-storm the Party President had before sending the letter today. Because, it seems to be done to take allies of Besigye and the ones who opposes him. Not the ones who can be swayed or have the ability to compromise.
Alas, the Secretary General and the Party President is forgetting vital parts of the Party. They are violating not only a lots of their high ranking officials and they are maligning several of them. Secondly, they have never attempted to prove or give satisfying answers to the “dirty money”. While they are simultaneously trying to clip their wings. Just like the Party President did with Ingrid Turinawe. Now the same acts are in play, but with others.
They are just showing that their own interests, their own offices and prestige matters more than the party. Heck one of the guiding principles 8(b) of the party says this: “good governance, democracy social justice, transparency, accountability, honesty and integrity”. Certainly, the inner-circle isn’t abiding by this. Neither are they following the duty of the party 12(b) which says: “Work honestly and efficiently for the party”. We can easily assess that the gentlemen are in breach of both of these in the Party Constitution. While they are targeting and going after others who has apparently exposed the rot.
This “dirty money” is not only haunting them. The other allegations too of military attaches within the headquarters and other dealings, which is in accordance with the statements of a hostile takeover. A sort of situation that the inner-circle is dismissing, but the likes of Besigye is crying over. That is saying something and the ones in-charge has lost their way. They cannot even adhere to the Party Constitution. While they are using the same laws and codes as a weapon against others. Peace.




“Besigye gets emotional as he talks about the “dirty money” in his party during a press conference at his Katonga Road office today. He says the struggle has cost many people, some have lost lives and others beaten, arrested, among other things” (91.2 Crooze FM, 07.08.2023).
Today’s Press Conference was revealing in the fact of levels of betrayal there has been within the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC). The FDC leadership at the Najjanankumbi has lost the trust and credibility. There is no soft return to normal within the inner-circle or ranks at the FDC. That’s why Besigye wept or cried today.
Besigye and others has sacrificed a lot for the FDC party. They have fought to keep it alive and make it a vibrant party. Not only as a founder, but an activist and a political enigma. Besigye has been on the front-line and the trenches to establish, ensure protocol and give the party a platform, which is why it has been so vital for the opposition over the years.
That’s why today’s presser only shows how the mighty has fallen. The Elders Report has already been dismissed and rightfully so. Besigye again just told the story and showed how it lacked credibility, as well as facts or even evidence to back things up. No, it was to simplified and easily produced to exonerate the current leadership of the party.
The last few weeks has been brutal and told a tale of a former astonishing party, which sadly has been compromised and sold. The FDC isn’t what we knew or thought we envisioned. Neither is the leadership or the inner-circle thereof, off the calibre we should expect either. They are charlatan’s that has been willing to trade the party for some “dirty money”.
The “dirty money” is now haunting the party and the ones who touched it. The FDC became compromised and captured by taking it. That’s why Nandala-Mafabi and Amuriat isn’t willing to budge or say where it came from. Neither are they transparent or accountable. Instead they intend to keep it a secret while they malign anyone who keep them in order.
That Besigye shed tears today was unique. It isn’t a common practice and it’s second to none… that he has done this in public before. Even when facing the brutality of the law enforcement, the treason trials or anything else. The man has stood tall and taken it as a man. Today he got emotional because his party is at stake.
No one can question that and it’s only common sense. Besigye have not only lost the party, but also lost allies who has sold their soul. That’s the tragedy here. The ones he trusted and thought would be the people who carry on his legacy. They have spoiled it and betrayed the cause. Just so they got some “dirty money”. That’s the gist… and Besigye is right to feel this way. He didn’t deserve this and the FDC is supposed to be better. Peace.
