The State has blocked the Holy Mass at Rubaga Cathedral in honour of incarcerated Dr. Kizza Besigye

“Rubaga Cathedral has postponed a highly anticipated Holy Mass intended to pray for the release of Dr. Kizza Besigye, veteran opposition figure and leader of the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), and other political inmates. The decision to defer the service came shortly before the scheduled 2 p.m. service, stirring confusion and emotions among supporters who had assembled at the cathedral grounds” (…) “Before giving the final blessing during the afternoon Mass, the cathedral administrator, Rev. Father Achilles Mayanja, announced that the planned Mass in honour of Besigye and other detainees would be postponed “till further notice.”” (Uganda Radio Network, 23.02.2026).

If you ever think the National Resistance Movement (NRM) cannot steep any lower, well… there is always the gutter. The NRM and the authorities have no trouble to go far and show their true character. Someone has given a word to the Archbishop and the Priests of Rubaga Cathedral to not hold the mass and the prayers for the incarcerated Dr. Kizza Besigye.

It is really messed up when the Opposition and the people in support of Besigye cannot hold a mass on a Monday in the Rubaga Cathedral. That’s telling that President Museveni told the Archbishop to not hold it and cancelling it.

We know the case against Dr. Kizza Besigye is all political and his a prisoner of conscience. He is continued to be prosecuted by the state. There isn’t any evidence or proof of the criminal conspiracy pinned on him.

Now the state aren’t allowing them to pray or gather in his name. As his lingering in Luzira Prison. This here is a case of what they can do when they have all instruments of power. They have the leverage and the means to silence critics. That’s why even a scheduled holy mass is cancelled and postponed for no serious reason. Only because of a phone-call and the Archbishop giving way. That’s seriously malicious of the state and shows it’s lack of heart. However, they rather kill and detain people, than contest in a proper election. So, we know their drive and what they are willing to do. This was an easy move and didn’t cost it much.

Nevertheless, the Archbishop got some answers to give. He needs to address this and they allowed people to enter. People were already prepared and gathered inside the Cathedral. A state that blocks fellow civilians and political leaders from praying for political prisoners. They was doing this to not forget the plights of the political prisoners and aren’t allowed to be free. This wasn’t even accepted by the state. That’s showing what sort of liberation and levels of freedoms there are in the Republic.

This is the NRM, this is what Museveni is all about. He cannot allow other people to pray and gather in the name of others. People needs to be reminded of stuff like this. Because this is what they do and this is the legacy that the President and his men leaves behind. Peace

Bobi Wine’s second “Treason Charge”…

 

“On Thursday morning, Henry Okello Oryem appeared on 88.8 CBS FM during a news segment. During the interview, he suggested that Bobi Wine risks being charged with treason because of statements made abroad about Uganda. According to the minister, seeking sympathy from foreign leaders was unnecessary and would not change Uganda’s political direction” (TheNilePost.com – ‘Breaking News!! Bobi Wine Faces Treason Charges Over What He Said During Recent Media Briefing, Mostly Likely To Be Jailed Like Kizza Besigye’ 20.02.2026).

Going back to August 2018 and we can all remember that Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu was charged with treason after the Arua By-Election in the same year. Where there was deadly and lethal actions made, which was implicated and pinned on then Member of Parliament, Bobi Wine. Now in 2026 things of similar sort is on the horizon for him again.

Right now his on the run and is in exile. That’s also his family and his not in the Republic. His speaking on international stages and conferences enlightening the world about what is happening in Uganda. That’s after campaigning for the second time and being brutally addressed by the state. The whole party of National Unity Platform (NUP) are hurting, in pain and suffering as a consequence of their rise and being largest opposition party in the Republic. That’s why the state target the NUP and Bobi Wine for existing.

Now in 2026 his again getting charged with treason. Last time was for campaigning and for partaking in election violence, which was later dismissed, as there was no proof of the criminal conspiracy, but they did plant army weapons on Bobi Wine. Now years later he is in exile and the state says he should watch his mouth. Because if he continues to talk, he will be charged with treason.

I wrote his in February 2025 and it is fitting today:
“Bobi Wine is up for a treason charge. That’s the gist of things. They don’t assault, destroy and deplete buildings like this just for fun. No, it is done with a scheme further down the line. That will justify the confiscated goods and whatnot they took. Not be surprised or shocked” (Minbane – ‘Opinion: Soon treason charges will be pinned on Bobi Wine’ 21.02.2025).

I was one year ahead of time. I’m no fortune seller or have crystal balls to envision the future. However, there is a pattern and what the authorities or the state does to the dissidents. So, it would apply and be fitting for Bobi Wine. The man who is a force to be reckon with and who dares to challenge the status quo. Therefore, it was a matter of time and now we just have to await the state to do it. They will either do it in person or in absentia. Which wouldn’t be new either. The same happened to Dr. Kizza Besigye. History repeats itself… and it’s tragic that we are here. Peace.

A look into Bobi Wine’s Geneva Summit Speech

“I am in hiding, but I don’t want to be in hiding. It was necessary though so I can stay alive and be able to speak to you right now. I’ve said it before and I say it again that I will resurface at the right time in my country” – Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine (18.02.2026).

Yesterday Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine held a speech for the Geneva Summit in Switzerland, which was called “Bobi Wine on Uganda”. As his in hiding and such, it is courageous and bold to do this. That his speaking and recording a speech for the world to see. They can hear him speak as his on the run and moving around in the Republic.

The first pieces we have to read is this part of the speech:

“Despite what happened in 2021, we were driven by hope to give it another try. So in 2025, I announced that I was running for president again. For 112 days, I traveled across the country campaigning and the population turned up overwhelmingly. Yet again, our campaigns were violently attacked. Our supporters were murdered. We were blocked from reaching many places and were also blocked from several media stations. As usual, Museveni shut down the internet again. This time 3 days to the election. And what happened thereafter was not an election but a military operation. The election was so rigged to the point that even at the polling station where Museveni voted, he got much more votes than the actual registered voters in the register. Our polling agents in several places were arrested and whisked away. Several of our party officials were arrested and many abducted. Two female deputy presidents of our political party were abducted and held incommunicado in a military barracks for three weeks before being thrown into a prison where they are languishing right at this moment. The military was deployed on our streets shooting on spot whoever dared to challenge the criminality. It was under these circumstances that yet again he declared himself winner of the election. This time with over 70% of the vote” (Bobi Wine, 18.02.2026).

Here Bobi Wine is just explaining in simple terms how the General Elections of 2026 went down. Everyone that has followed can say this is a well addressed and directly saying what was happening in the Republic. He just blatantly states it and exposes it to the world. This is what the President and the Firs Son doesn’t want out. They just want the glory and the legitimacy out of it, but not the ramifications of doing it this way. Therefore, Bobi Wine is just calling out the grievances and the misuse of power from the state. That is all natural and makes sense, because he should call it out and spread the word about it. Just showing the impunity and brutality of the state to secure another term for regime.

The cost of him contesting again:

“Right now I’m speaking to you while in hiding. This is because as soon as the election was finished, Museveni’s son, who is also chief of the Ugandan military, issued an order to take me to him dead or alive. The military acted on his order and raided my home. They tortured my family members, humiliated and undressed my wife, accusing her of hiding me. Meanwhile, they were recording and taking pictures of her, which the military chief later on shared on Twitter and bragged about capturing my wife. They also took over my home and surrounded it, and they are occupying my home as we speak right now. My wife and children had to flee the country for fear of their lives” (Bobi Wine, 18.02.2026).

It is really tragic that this is where things are in the Republic. That the main contender and the popular candidate are now in hiding. The one who stood tall and dared to challenge the incumbent. He is now on the run. His family in exile and they were all violated by the state security agents and officers who had no trouble to do this and show how vile they are. Muhoozi even have boosted his own ego and been proud of his soldiers acting with violence towards unarmed civilians in their home. That’s what they are willing to do and what they can do, because there is no safeguards or rule of law active in the Republic. The Law is only viable and in use against the opposition, but not in regards to rulers or the ones who clings on to power. They can use harassment, violence and lethal means to get their way. That’s what they did in regard to Bobi Wine and his family, which is why his running and are in hiding.

One worrying prediction:

“The way I see it, if the international community continues to be complacent, then Uganda will go from bad to worse. Museveni’s military will massacre many more innocent Ugandans. You, ladies and gentlemen, in the Western world will be forced to grapple with millions of Ugandan refugees pouring into your countries. And maybe then the international community will come and commiserate with the people of Uganda just like they did after the genocide in Rwanda, but it was too late” (Bobi Wine, 18.02.2026).

He is really speaking out of worry and concern. We are seeing how the state just continues to push the barrier and continues their rampage on the opposition. Whoever who is a activist or a leader within the opposition. They can be kidnapped, apprehended, detained, tortured and even killed without any justification or proof of criminal conspiracy before being kept in detention. So, the worrisome concern of Bobi Wine is legit, as the state is just more structured in this and doesn’t care about outcries, as bail is easily denied or blocked, and neither is the Habaes Corpus applications in the court respected. So, if you are captured there are no way for the person taken to get free or have any rights after being detained. That shows what the state does and how it operates at this current time.

He ends with a powerful plea:

“We call upon the international community to treat General Museveni exactly how they treated Idi Amin because Idi Amin did what he did to Ugandans for only 8 years. Museveni has done much worse to the people of Uganda and it has been for 40 years and counting. Because of the inaction of the international community, Museveni’s mode of dictatorship and human rights violations is being seen as acceptable in the region and it must be stopped before it is exported to other countries in the region and in the continent. We ask the international community not to recognize Museveni’s regime because it is not legitimate. Please terminate any forms of cooperation with this government because he is not legitimate. On our end, as the people of Uganda, we are committed to nonviolent means of changing our country, nonviolent means of putting an end to this 40-year-old dictatorship. And you can be sure that the people of Uganda will sooner or later free themselves because oppressed people cannot stay oppressed forever” (Bobi Wine, 18.02.2026).

You should read this twice. Just like the warning. His stating a sincere belief and what the Ugandans should recognize, but also the International Community. They have already helped and secured the longevity of Museveni. Now the same community needs to act and help the people of the Republic, instead of keeping them oppressed for the sake of “stability” and “continuation of status quo”. Which is what is the driving force of today, apparently.

We have to hope for change and that there is a will of the people. The international community won’t save or salvage the people from the oppressor. It is only the people who can save themselves and push the oppressors out. The international community can weaken the regime, but not break it. Especially not in the sort of way it is run right now. They won’t give way and neither will this end the dictatorship.

Bobi Wine deserves credit for doing this and pledging for support. That’s the right thing to do, but will anyone listen? Peace.

Opinion: Besigye and KaBobi living rent free in Muhoozi’s mind

“To all Ugandan and African anti-imperialist Patriots first of all do not fear hardships. Secondly, do not fear death. I thank my father for one thing. He made me a man. He has never protected me from anything. In fact, he is the one who has criticized me most in my life. Let Mzee decide what to do with Hon.Otafiire. It won’t take us half a second to arrest him. Besigye wanted to kill Mzee, so as far as we are concerned, UPDF, he is a dead man walking. The only person preventing us from executing Besigye is Mzee himself. If there is a bank in heaven for grace, I must be a billionaire there. I am the only son of a President in the entire history of Africa who fought with his father to pacify the country and succeeded. Not to mention all the other battles I have fought for my country. Kabobi is an IDIOT! Thinking he can turn Ugandans in to slaves of the whites. In the name of Jesus Christ, our God we Ugandans promise to wipe out Kabobi and his NUP. Kabobi will never be President of Uganda. He should audition as court jester/fool in Europe. Why? He is too ugly to be President. He makes Idi Amin look handsome. Kabobi’s face looks like a Baboon’s ass. That is the person the Bazungu want to make President of our beautiful country. They can go and fuck themselves! I’m still waiting for the great NUP baboon. When will he appear in the boxing ring?” – Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF), Muhoozi Kainerugaba (19.02.2026).

This is several of tweets on X combined into one text by the CDF and the First Son of the Republic, Mr. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. A man who cannot keep cool or even reflect with normalcy. Certainly there are distress and issues from within. If not… he wouldn’t rant like this online about opposition leaders and their fate.

Muhoozi says Dr. Kizza Besigye wanted to kill his father, but there has never been produced any proof of this and they have weaponized the courts against him too. Besigye has been charged with treason before and several other criminal conspiracies, but never ever been sentenced for it. There is all alleged, but never proven by anyone. So, Muhoozi is following tradition of the state and his father to target him and criminalize his activities without any proof or evidence. Therefore, these words are just made to legitimize the detention of him for over 16 months without proper legal procedure or any trial even. It is really telling that Muhoozi wants Besigye dead, but I don’t think Muhoozi would be able to handle or have the courage to carry the demise of Besigye. Because, he would have unleashed a sentiment and a crowd of citizens who would never forgive him for doing it. So, that should be a warning… and that’s what his father knows too.

Now moving on from Besigye. Let’s talk about the fugitive and second time Presidential Candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine. Bobi Wine is really hurting the pride and the ego of Muhoozi. The CDF cannot manage his mind or spirit in regards to him now. Him being on the run and not being detained is causing severe harm to him. That’s why his speaking of Bobi Wine in this manner.

How childish are you when you speak of looks and call a fellow human being derogatory names? Who thinks this is awesome and epic?

Muhoozi surely didn’t get an ordinary education like most of us and neither has his father talked about dignity or even courtesy. Mr. Muhoozi, who is an idiot, your or KaBobi? Who speaks clear and with sense? Not you…

The CDF better get enlighten and get some sort of guidance before it is too late. His a brute with no sort of moral ambiguity. That’s really it. Muhoozi, if he truly believes his righteous to take reigns and be a man of the state. He should consider how he works and talks. Because his speaking like a school bully and an armed villain. Is that who you are and what sort of nepo-baby or baby-dictator you want to be associated as?

Also, Muhoozi should speak to his father how the West and the International Community has boosted the Republic. Muhoozi needs to speak to his father how he was able to get donors to pay for the budgets and rebuild the republic for decades. He should speak how Europeans and Americans brought the cash-flow and the liquidity for the state to run. They did so… please… you need it, because your not that clever.

Muhoozi continuing on a path where everyone will cheer on his demise and downfall. There will be celebrations and people will be happy. That’s what is coming for him. He cannot see it, because his living large and within the realms of power. When these chambers are closed and all the bridges are burned. This man won’t have anywhere to run. He should think two steps ahead and strategically consider the implications of his actions. No, that’s for someone else to fix or his father to amend. Peace.

Opinion: Museveni – when speaking of the devil…

“We are here to shame the devil. The devil was operating in people like Idi Amin, who imposed himself on us as a leader. All these current leaders who try to intimidate and manipulate people are really no different” (…) “We are managers, but more importantly, we are here to shame the devil. Those who try to impose themselves on others are repeating mistakes of the past” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (16.02.2026).

Since 26^th January 1986 and the official takeover of Kampala, there been one individual who has imposed himself on the people and taken the reigns. In the beginning the man himself did that with Legal Notice No. 1 of 1986. That suspended parts of the 1967 Constitution. Where the National Resistance Army (NRA) takes all power, which means Museveni as the Chairman of the NRM (National Resistance Movement (NRM) becomes the Executive and the National Resistance Council (NRC) become the legislative powers and it would run as the Parliament. Therefore, the whole ordeal was to takeover and have complete control of the nation. This story has to be remembered. Because, that’s how he imposed himself on the nation after losing in the 1980 elections by a landslide.

He has since then imposed himself steadily by rigging elections. That’s been done by deliberate actions, which we all have seen present in the recent General Election of January 2026. This is just the latest run of this scheme. He has done this so systemically and ensured all parts of the state is jaded to secure the majority for him and his fellow cadres. That’s the correct line and what he wants to achieve.

President Museveni haven’t done any of this default. He has done what is necessary to get donor will and donor goodwill. That’s why he had to unleash a new Constitution of 1995 and hold elections in 1996. Even when he had no intentions of opening up or even reform the Movement System, which he held the nation captive with. That’s what was started with the Legal Notice No. 01 of 1986.

We are now here in 2026 and know that he needed two referendums just to launch the Multi-Party Democracy again. However, that has always been weak and been just to give him legitimacy. As the Electoral Commission and the authorities has been coordinated with the NRM. They haven’t worked as independent institutions or been beholden to the rule of law. No, everyone has been appointed and been subjects of the ruler, which is now shown by how the Judiciary or the Courts are doing the bidding of the President and his Men. That’s it…

If this man didn’t use the army, the security organizations and all sorts of police officers. Well, Museveni wouldn’t be here in 2026. He would have been long gone and the various of security organizations wouldn’t exist either. There is enough safe-houses, dungeons and prisons that is full of people who stood up and dared to challenge his existence. That’s why they are detained and behind bars, which is why we know about Nalufenya or Mbuya Military Barracks. There is a reason why we know so much about Kigo or Luzira. That’s because so many good gentlemen are detained there for no other reason than defying or resisting the President. Therefore, this President can speak of the devil, but he surely has devious himself.

President Museveni is describing himself and his own rule yesterday. His vilifying Idi Amin, but should look into the mirror. General Museveni needs to address what he himself has done since January 1986 and what he did in the bush. He has sins to answer for and people who he has touched. People he has touched out of greed and the need to stay in office. That’s what the President has to answer for, either now or in the afterlife. Peace.

The forged “Yellow Book” is haunting His Excellency

“Otherwise, there is practically no opposition in Uganda. The pro- People record of the NRM in Uganda, does not allow a credible, truthful opposition to thrive. Indeed, our registered members as of the 6^th of May, 2025, were 21 million where those old enough to vote were 18,5 million. All the registered voters in Uganda were 21 million. If all the NRM turned up to vote, our vote would be 18,5 million and the opposition would remain with 2,5 million. This means 88% support of the NRM. That is the real balance of forces in the country as per now, even with the unaddressed mass issues of UPE, Corruption, bad feeder roads, problems of drugs in the health centres, etc. Once those are addressed according to my guidance and out collective decisions, there will be no opposition in Uganda” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (12.02.2026).

Living on a lie… and living in a denial. Well, the delusion is real. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) is continuing to push the idea that it has 18 million or 18,5 million members of the party. That’s what the President is stating and using as reason for his electoral victory. The “Yellow Book” is made with forgery and done deliberately to make the old man with a hat happy. This is the Secretary General Richard Todwong and others are doing whatever he can to please his master. Therefore, this is just foolish at this point.

The old man wants to defend his victory, but what his really doing is showing that his closer to la-la-land than actually seeing reality. President Museveni acts like everyone whose breathing would show up and vote for him. He believes his record is so grand and great, that it is their duty to vote for him. That’s what his saying and it’s unbelievable. Because, if that was a fact, why are your state apprehending, kidnapping and detaining the opposition at large?

As he continues his riddles…

“Why do the 18,5 million voters of the NRM not bother to register to vote or even when they are registered do not come to vote? It is on account, mainly, of the Najja-kulya (I came to eat) leaders on the both the NRM and opposition sides. The NRM side, do not interact closely with our members, during Primaries they use violence and unfair practices, etc, which annoy our members and, I suspect, make some of them disgusted. Hence, the high number of NRM Independents who defeat the cheating flag-bearers. In another communication, I will give figures to illustrate this. With the opposition, they, mainly disturb our population with intimidation, violence and isolated cases terrorism. You remember the 28 elders that were cut by machete (panga) wielders in Masaka in 2021? That was the work of NUP. This time they had planned big insurrection to stop the voting. However, the majority of the masses, working with Security Forces, prevented this. They still have schemes they are still hatching, working with some criminal foreigners (mercenaries). We shall crush them. Some of the cases will come to court. You will hear the facts. The public get to hear those schemes and some stay away from the voting, fearing possible trouble. That is why the NRM cadres should be close with the People, honest with them and encourage them to ignore the schemes of the criminal opposition but also be ready to crush any scheme of the traitors” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 12.02.2026).

It is really striking that he does this and uses this rhetoric. We know that Museveni doesn’t want Multi-Party democracy, but wants the Movement System. That’s the bitte truth and a fact, which the President won’t utter. However, all his actions are speaking like it and showing year after year.

We are seeing how he is dismissing his own and saying they the reason why the people are losing confidence. That’s an excuse of the lack of turn-up and lack of voters showing up. Meanwhile, vilifying the opposition and criminalizing their activities. That is what he does and he promises yet again to crush them. That crushing is evident and his willing to use all parts of the security apparatus to go after the opposition. This is seen across the Republic and there is no denying in that now. He says the opposition is violence, but the violent behaviour is of the state and their security organizations. All that is proven and visible attempts of vicious actions are made by state ordered organizations, and not the opposition parties. Therefore, these sorts of statement is just sinister lies. Just like the usage of the murders, which was an charge pinned on late Muhammad Ssegirinya and Allan Ssewanyana, which was never proven and they were pinned as culprits. So, it is just utter garbage from the President.

The President is coming of claims of mercenaries and other foreign actors working for the opposition. Nevertheless, there haven’t been any arrests or any intelligence proving this. It is mere allegations and hearsay with no barren proof that would hold up in any court trial. That’s why it’s just used for the naïve to trust the President on his word and give way. Meanwhile, his people are keeping people incommunicado, detaining people without charging them, torturing them and even extra judicially killing them. Therefore, who is the one to fear and who is the one to intimidate, aye? Tell me, His Excellency?

This whole statement in regard to the General Election of 2026 isn’t worth much. Only for the propaganda arm of the NRM. They will eat it all up and take it as the gold standard. These people will praise the old man and say his words of wisdom is what builds the nation. Nevertheless, his not doing that and his just enriching himself. That’s what people should be aware of the tragic lesson here.

This man thinks his clever and wise, but this is just foolish. It is actually dumb. He could get away with this in the past, but with smartphones and with digital records. The old man is caught red-handed, and he cannot lie himself out it. He can try, but it isn’t working in 2026. Peace.

Bobi Wine still M.I.A. and we can wonder how long it last

Today is the 23^rd Day since Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine went into hiding. Since the 16^th January 2026 he has been missing and on the run. He has cleverly moved and been crossing districts. We don’t know where he is right now and rightfully so. His moving in silence and shielded by the public while doing so.

It is striking that the biggest contender and the most popular opposition leader of the Republic did this after the polls. He went missing straight away and rightfully so. We have seen what the state does to fellow opposition leaders and activists. Not like Bobi Wine don’t know the plight or the sacrifices others has done for the cause. There are thousands upon thousands in detention, in the fridge or are captured by the state. Just because they are affiliated with him and his National Unity Platform (NUP).

So, there is no need to be critical of the decision to go into refuge and flee his home in Magere, Wakiso district. The state has already besieged the place and created road-blocks to it. Their actions against the family members and such will be put on records too. They are vile against the ones left behind at home. Meanwhile, Bobi Wine was on the run. It is really telling how systematic they are in brutally and viciousness. When they do this to civilians and without any probable cause either.

Bobi Wine is on move and his whereabouts is unknown. The longevity of it is damaging in the intelligence community and the law enforcement, which are looking out for him. Yes, they claim they are not, but the CDF has sleepless nights over it. So, we know he wants him and in bracelets. Regardless, if he has done any crimes or not. We know the CDF thinks the NUP are terrorists by definition, but he could never utter what sort of act of terror their committed. However, we know the likes of Bobi Wine damages the calm and the spirit of the brute. That’s maybe why he holds a grudge and can’t let go.

Usually after these elections, the leader of opposition are in prolonged house-arrest, later charged with treason and possibly moved up-country for long incarceration. Even if there is no proof of the alleged criminal conspiracy or possible treason, which they are pinning on the individual. That’s just what they do and we were just awaiting his turn to be detained in Moroto after these elections. It would have been status quo and what the state does to fellow peers.

For now Bobi Wine has skipped that fate. We cannot know for how long he can be on the run. This race isn’t set in stone and the longevity of it just becomes harder. Sooner or later he gets close to someone who would rat him out and barter him. That’s just how it goes… and there is disingenuous people out there. Also possible Movement people who would get credited and acknowledged for tracing him down.

Certainly, the NRM didn’t anticipate this and that he would be able to do this. They didn’t phantom this and that’s why they are little bit shocked or stressed by it. The predecessors didn’t do this or even risk what his doing.

Bobi Wine has by this choice shown the ugly face of the Republic. He is showing the sinister nature of the whole process and what they are willing to do. We are already seeing how the state are arraigning NUP leaders and activists or keeping other opposition leaders behind bars too. There are so many cases and it shows how they are targeted.

Bobi Wine cannot lead a party this way. That’s a given. He has enough with moving and being careful with his surroundings. It is some undercover or spy novel act of the singer turned politician. Certainly not what we would have thought of him in 2018, but here we are….

Bobi Wine isn’t forgotten and won’t be. His is still out there and causing havoc for the ones in power. The regime didn’t anticipated this and that’s why it couldn’t coordinate in according to his decisions. That’s why this is striking and telling. Peace.

Three Cases that shows the Impunity of the State regarding NUP leaders…

“NUP Deputy President for Northern Uganda Dr. Lina Zedriga (68) has resurfaced and appeared before Gulu Chief Magistrate’s Court today. She was charged with inciting violence and remanded until Feb 17. Authorities allege she urged attacks on NRM supporters in Dec 2025” (Arua City Journalists Association (ACJA), 06.02.2026).

“The National Unity Platform (NUP) Deputy President for Western Uganda, Jolly Jacline Tukamushaba, has been arraigned before Kabale Court on charges of allegedly inciting violence against supporters of the NRM. Tukamushaba reportedly went missing on the eve of polling day, 15th January 2026” (91.2 Crooze FM, 06.02.2026).

“Bright Muhumuza, NUP’s Ankole regional coordinator, has resurfaced after weeks missing and was Wednesday produced before Mbarara Chief Magistrate’s Court under tight SFC security. Muhumuza, a former NUP candidate for Mbarara City South MP, disappeared on Jan 14, 2026” (Celeb Patrol UG, 05.02.2026).

There is a talk of close to 3,000 National Unity Platform activists and supporters who are behind bars or kept in detention as a consequence of the General Elections of 2026. That’s a vast number, but there are high ranking officials and important leaders of the party, which are behind bars too. They have been kept incommunicado and no knowledge of where they were kept until they are suddenly arraigned in courts.

This here is telling of how unfair and rigged the polls where this year. When the state and the law enforcement is acting this way against the opposition. They are not even hiding it or trying to small cases. No, they have tried to undermine and intimidate the whole party of NUP. That’s the gist of it. This is why so many of them was taken away…

These three leaders are just several out of plenty. There so many horror stories and where we don’t know their whereabouts. Where the state keeps them in the fridge and doesn’t allow them freedom. There is no due process or rule of law here. Only blind violence and usage of force. A military enforced rule and they are doing this systematically.

This is now their modus operandi. It is who the National Resistance Movement (NRM) are, and this is how they want to be remembered. This sort of misuse of power and force on civilians. They are making people prisoners without any justification or any sort of evidence or even any criminal conspiracy. These people are just kept behind bars because of their political affiliation.

The three leaders are apart of the National Unity Platform (NUP) and this is why they are detained indefinitely. These people have been kept for weeks with uncertainty and without prior knowledge to why they are there. It is all flimsy and done with disregard of their rights and their liberties. This is just who the NRM are and what they are proud of promoting.

If you believe in the 2026 General Elections and the results announced. Well, they are rigged and jaded, because who needs to do this to the opposition. If you are a proper winner and the one who got so easily the majority. That’s why you know things are wrong and everyone should be aware of this. Peace.

Opinion: Will the NRM CEC endorse Norbert Mao?

Today it’s official that Norbert Mao is seeking the role of Speaker in the 12^th Parliament. The unwritten but known rule is that the endorsement and the declared candidates by the National Resistance Movement – Central Executive Committee (NRM CEC) is the final step of the way to enter the mighty office of speakership.

That means the President usually calls for a meeting of the NRM Caucus at the State House for guidance. The NRM Caucus drops a Resolution, which will be discussed and be taken into consideration by the NRM CEC. Later the President schedules a NRM CEC and that’s where things are finalized. Before the polling is happening in the Parliament and the Speaker-race.

I know I haven’t mentioned the NRM Electoral Commission and all the candidates standing before the NRM Caucus and the NRM CEC. Nevertheless, that is just protocol and long journey to an end. This is why it’s really special that Mao thinks he can outwit and get ahead here.

He has to not only challenge Anita Among here and her deputy. Mao has to be able to sell his soul and show that he will serve the interests better than her. Mr “No Surprises” Mao has to now turn up and tell that his the newest crony and fellow highest bidder to do whatever the President deems fit. Make the 12^th Parliament even a bigger rubber-stamping organization and ensure the longevity of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s reign. That’s what he got to do, plus he has to kiss the ring of the President and bend the knee to the First Son General Muhoozi Kainerubaga. He got to be vetted by the not anointed king and self-proclaimed head Muhoozi. Just to ensure that his good enough and is in-line with family.

That’s a big ask. He has already proven in the previous term. That he will serve and be a loyal subject. There so no push-back and the DP leader was willing to betray anything and anyone, as long as he was in the good graces of the President and the First Family. This he has shown and we can see it.

Norbert Mao doesn’t only have to be clever here or outwit people. No, he has to strategically sell himself and be viable. He got to show the cash and promise a return. That’s what he got to do. Goodwill and grand intentions will get him nowhere. So, when he speaks of consultations. He needs the ones associated with PLU on his side and get a major fraction of the newly elected NRM MPs on his side. They got to be dancing and wanting him. Just so that he got leverage. If that doesn’t happen. The NRM caucus would bury him and the NRM-DP Agreement isn’t worth the ink for Mao. As he sold everything for short-term gains and thinking he got a piece of the pie. Well, Museveni uses you and drops you when your out of steam. Sooner or later, that happens to Mao too.

We just have to wait and see, but Mao has to move mountains. I don’t know if he got all that. Yes, Andrew Mwenda has favoured the brother and his a associate of Muhoozi. So, that might help, but Gods knows and we don’t… Peace.
