Local Councillor elect of Kawempe, Muhammed Ssegirinya arrested while trying to check the state of Cancer Ward at Mulago Hospital earlier today!

Mulago NBS 11.04

We are living in strange days there is a crime trying to understand the situation of where you are elected to be civil representative. A representative of people is supposed to as ignorant as Hon. Ofwono Opondo. Then you are okay in the state of Uganda. As the local Councilor of Kawempe was not allowed to enter the Uganda Cancer Institute at the Mulago Hospital Complex as the Daily Monitor confesses about it today!

The Arrest of Local Councilor of Kawempe:

“Mr Muhammed Ssegirinya (in red tie), the Lord Councillor elect Kawempe III trying to resist police from arresting him today at the gate which is the entrance to the cancer ward in Mulago. Mr Ssegirinya together with others tried to force themselves into the cancer ward where they wanted to have a look at the cancer machine that was bought by the government following the breakage of the old one. Mr Ssegirinya at first wanted to solicit for money from the public so as to purchase a new cancer machine but was told that government had bought one. In the process of entering the hospital, he was arrested by anti-riot police on instructions of Wandegeya police DPC Brian Ampaire” (Daily Monitor, 11.04.2016).

Muhammed Ssegirinya Poster

This here is a sorry state, it is the Abim Hospital and the Police Force standing by each hospital where the FDC Campaign Convoy was passing by and where the Amama Mbabazi was around in the country; as they we’re not allowed to the discuss the state of affairs.

The arrest of Muhammed Ssegirinya for trying to look at the situation and get witness reports to bring to council and give memo to fellow politicians about the Cancer Ward at Mulago Hospital Complex, should be brought into question. Why should the Anti-Riot Police intercept him for being around Mulago and what crime is it for a councilman to actually look at the governments facilities to secure funding and see the works of government, which he actually represent. Don Museveni is hand-ons and sends his made-man DPC Amapaire to get rid of opposition who is playing in his playground. Only him as a politician or gangster can arrive there and make sure that he facilitates it.

As there we’re reports earlier this month:

“Early last week, President Museveni quietly visited Mulago on Tuesday and Naguru referral hospitals on Wednesday morning. Unannounced and without his usual large security detail, the president visited the hospitals, talked to shocked patients and caused panic among the health officials whom he found in their customary lazing mode” (Kagingo, Sarah, 04.04.2016).

So the Don, the Kingpin can walk everywhere as he pleases; the ones that are not made or associates can be detained or silenced as his wish. That is because Don Museveni is the ruler, the man and the regent of the NRM Mafia can do as he pleases, while the other ones have to kiss the ring to gain access and ability to represent the people. In Uganda you represent first the Don, then the people. Peace.

More on the Mulago Cancer Institute issues; the racketeering has new excuses!

Cobalt-Machine

This here would be spin-doctors spinning the doctors and showing the surface to the world and the expenditure of not procuring the necessary tools for the Health Care workers on the Kings Hospital of Mulago. That story seems to have legs and straight after the general election, so steady regress it is.

First Update:

Fellow Ugandans, let’s try to get facts right. The Cobalt-60 machine was bought. It is awaiting construction of the bunker(the room to house it). Earlier statements that there are no funds to purchase the machine did not come from us. What is at stake now is the construction of the bunker. You may wonder why this machine cannot be housed in the current space. This space was assessed by IAEA and found that it is not suitable to house the machine. However fundraising for another machine is a good idea. The procurement process for the bunker construction has already started. In the meantime, other machines such as HDR bracytherapy machine are under use and other services are still on going” (Uganda Cancer Institute, 10.04.2016).

Second Update:

Dr. Orem the director of Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) has assured Ugandans that cancer treatment has not stopped but just one of the machines used in treatment of Cancer has stopped. Cancer treatment is done in combination. Cancer can be treated comprehensively. Our capacity has been deminished by a small percentage. Minister Tumwesigye says that the dead machine will only slow down treatment by 20 percent but cancer institute will be getting shs 41.billion next financial year from shs. 17bn. You dont just walk and buy the machine like a scanning machine” (Daily Monitor, 10.04.2016).

That alters the information from two days ago from the same doctor:

Cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment at Mulago hospital may have to wait until next year when the new cobalt 60 radiation machine will be installed, after the old one broke down three weeks ago. According to Dr Jackson Orem, the director of Cancer Institute at Mulago hospital, it may be difficult to repair the radiotherapy machine, procured in 1995, to render efficient results” (EA BIZ INFO, 08.04.2016).

From the MPS Ministry of Health Report 2013/2014:

“The Committee noted the tremendous work registered by the Uganda Cancer Institute. However, the Committee learnt that the genuine cost of cancer treatment – chemotherapy was not known to the majority of the people, including the patients, thereby creating space for unscrupulous people to cheat patients. The Committee was informed by the Director Uganda Cancer Institute that chemotherapy treatment was free of cost, except that patients were charged 30,000 for the bed per night” (MPS P: 52, August 2013).

In the Annual Health Sector Performance Report of 2012/2013 stated this:

“Remodeling existing facilities and completion of the construction and operationalization of the new cancer ward” (…)”The remodeling of TB was finalized to accommodate patients originally from the Lymphome Treatment Centre ward. Relocated and remodeling the Laboratory, the Solid Tumor Centre ward and set up a temporally kitchen. Continued with the construction of the six floors Cancer Ward and during this FY, Plumbing Electrical installation and fitting were completed” (Annual Health Sector Performance Report of 2012/2013 P: 49).

IAEA Mulago Receipt

So somebody is not telling the whole story, if not they did and then they changed to fit with the Racket of Don Museveni, which leads the Government and appoint the Health Ministry. This here saga is not over. Certainly somebody has not done their duty and their job since the machinery at Mulago Hospital Complex is not yet there, and they are using broken down machinery from 1995. 20 Years of steady service and not much upgrades takes its toll on the equipment. The worst thing is the see the spin-doctors and the words coming out; how the Doctor Jackson Orem is changing his words within 60 hours. That says something about the power of the Ministry of Health, not about his character as a doctor and a civil servant. Peace.

Uganda Cancer Institute Planned Procurement of new Radio Theraphy Machine in 2013 for Mulago Hospital; Don Museveni have taken his rackeering a bit to far!

IAEA Mulago Receipt

Uganda Cancer institute at mulago hospital has released a receipt indicating they made a procurement of the radiotherapy machine on the 28th of May 2013.

“Cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment at Mulago hospital may have to wait until next year when the new cobalt 60 radiation machine will be installed, after the old one broke down three weeks ago. According to Dr Jackson Orem, the director of Cancer Institute at Mulago hospital, it may be difficult to repair the radiotherapy machine, procured in 1995, to render efficient results” (EA BIZ INFO, 08.04.2016).

PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW AT THE UGANDA CANCER INSTITUTE AT 10:00AM.
please join us tomorrow for a press conference to clear the air about the Radiotherapy machine tomorrow Sunday 10th April 2016 at 10:00am at the Uganda Cancer Institute– Old Mulago (Uganda Cancer Institute, 09.04.2016). 

Let see what will happen, but surely this is public neglect from the NRM Regime who is more busy with buying a new private for the Don Museveni then having a government serving it’s people. The sadness of this state is that the Cancer patient is the loser and the families of them who needs this machine for health-recovery and treatment who can’t get to it; since the machine is broken down.

The rackeetering of the NRM Regime have gone to far, especially on a day knowningly that the NRM used to celebrate their “Double-Victory”  of the Rigged Election and the Supreme Court Verdict in favour of the Ruling Party and their Ruling Executive; who could not bother in all years of staying procure a new Cobolt 60 Teletheraphy Machine. Because that with unsettle his playground and rules as the Gangster he is. Peace.

The NRM celebrates their Voter Tourism and their “Double Victory” at Kololo today!

NRM Bus Company Limited

Don Museveni and his loyal capos, his underbosses and his Crime Preventers filled the Kololo Independence Grounds, with the quality of voter tourism and the staged affairs. With a 140 cakes with the giant Yellow Bus; as a proof of the ushering in the NRM Bus Company and it’s Steady Progress. “The total cost is 30 million and the who gross cost at Kololo is 2.2 billions” (Breaking News Uganda, 09.04.2016). The 30 million is the value of the 140 cakes, the rest of the NRM celebration at Kololo independence grounds! “Today’s NRM election victory party at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds cost Shs 1.5 billion according to the party’s Secretary General Kasule Lumumba” (The Observer, 09.04.2016). No matter if it 2,2 Billion or the 1,5 billion on a victory celebration. That is just too much and waste of government funds while the State House and Defense Ministry needed grand amounts of shillings for the event.

NRM Oyee! 09.04.2016

People from Kampala is not attending the Celebration as the villagers are ferried in, just as the NRM Bus Company is famous for, even when they offer money and food for the attendance at the Celebration of the Election Victory. For Boda-Boda and Taxis they are offering free fuel for the ones who are driving people the Kololo.

Kololo 09.04.2016

They have even used government school buses to get people to come to Kololo like this, the Kigezi High School bus have been used to get people there.

The NRM is celebrating winning the election and the Supreme Court verdict, still the way they did it should be celebrated as they have controlled the whole election and celebrating that is just pissing on the democratic values and the truth accountability for justice for the ordinary Ugandans, and instead they are all now respecting Don Museveni.

Kololo 09.04.2016 P3. Entertainer

Jose Chameleone is having yet another concert for the Don and proving his loyalty to him and the crowds before the Don arrives on stage to say that he deserved 80% of the votes and that the country should have been better sanitized for the message of the movement. The values of the racket and that he is alone the kingpin of the country.

What the NRM Party said this:

“A very beautiful morning to you all. We thank you for voting and supporting NRM in the just concluded elections. Join us today and be part of the national celebration for the victory of our candidate Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds. Lets celebrate together.. The victory is ours”. (NRM, 09.04.2016).

Kampala Kololo 09.04.2016

The NRM enjoys celebrating themselves and their ability to use their buses to get people to listen to their paid entertainers and the Don Museveni. So the NRM finish the General Election the same way they started. Ferrying Voter Tourists to the Kololo Independence Grounds as they also did in November 2015. Peace.

The Calvary has yet again blocked Kasangati; The Police are dumbfounded about the whereabouts of Besigye!

Kasangati 09.04.2016 P4

Long live the Forum for Democratic Change! This here is the story that is nearly to good to be true. As the house have surveillance and had many more guards than the ordinary State House in Entebbe and Nakasero. It says the story of the level of quality of the Uganda Police. As their DPC Kasangati, James Kawalya cannot feel cool today.

That IGP Kale Kayihura cannot feel good, as he have had the control of the situation and must feel his spine shaking today. That must be the general feeling as his boss, the Don Museveni is in the mountains of Rwenzori shooting and hunting for accidental victims of the Post-Election attacks.

So the Police earlier today detained Ingrid Turinawe the FDC Mobiliser and also the Dr. Kizza Besigye car from Kasangati, as he was not in the car towards the celebration at Nakivubo Settlement Primary School, where he was to attend and be the special guest with Erias Lukwago.

They thought they caught him and got him good. Besigye’s car has yet again towed-in by the authorities to the Kasangati Police Station or luckily the Naggalama Police Station in Mukono.  That is because they cannot help themselves.

Kasangati 09.04.2016

One newly elected FDC MP Francis Mwijuke had this story to tell:

“I drove from Dr. Kizza Besigyes House this morning on my way to town. I was in Dr. Besigyes car UAN 661V. I was being followed by Ingrid Turinawe in a Prado UAW 616W. When I joined the Nangabo rd, about 7 police vehicle broked the road and surrounded. I kept in the vehicle for about ten minutes. Later the police commander moved to me and I brought the car screens down. They found that it was me traveling in Dr. Besigyes car and Kato the driver. They then searched every where in the vehicle including under the seats. After realizing that he was not anywhere, they opened for me after like 20 minutes and I continued to town. I then had the commander pronouncing, he is in the other vehicle. Ingrid didn’t open for them for 30 minutes. When she finally opened for them and they found Dr. Besigye not in that vehicle they towed it with Ingrid in and took it to Kasangati police station due to the embarrassment”.

URN reports this:

“It remains unclear how and when Besigye left the house, but a source close to the former presidential candidate told URN that Besigye left the home shortly before the police deployment. Police is reported to have deployed at the home at 8am to prevent Dr Kizza Besigye from leaving the home” (URN, 2016).

If the Police Force is tooling up and really cutting of the roads, detaining the FDC Officials trying to get the man to planned event in Kampala; than he can’t really be free and the Police Force is again showing how much they are lying to the world. This here is a proof of the evidence of the effects of the Police State and how the affairs in Uganda are. There are even reports of Police Force going during a funeral in the country and throwing tear-gas! Think about that for a hot-minute, wait a hot-second, that is just tragic itself that the Police enters a mourning period for family and loved ones, but also coming in throwing tear-gas!

Nakivubo PS 09.04.2016

This here is while the Police searching for the FDC Presidential Candidate of Dr. Kizza Besigye and not knowning his wearabouts. It’s golden, its wonderful and proving that they need more professional guards to keep him monitored. Because this guys are wicked and hungry, not men who knows their business!

This is just remarkable that he gets out of his home, which been sieged since mid-February with guards, vans and mambas besieging his gate and area. Therefore the classic story of getting away from this is just priceless. UPF can be proud of the hard work and dedication, time to write the Don and apology and hope for forgiveness for you craft. Peace.

The Calvary tools up; They cut off roads to Kasangati and make sure that Besigye does not attend the victory celebration at Nakivubo today!

Kasangati 09.04.2016

It just had to happen Today! The day of celebration, the day that the Opposition leaders around Kampala and Wakiso were to celebrate at Nakivubo Primary School or Nakivubo Settlement P.S. with special attendance from the FDC Presidential Candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye and Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago of Kampala City. But, hey IGP Kayihura have to show his friendly mercy to man.

As the organizers had followed the Public Order Management Act and sent the information with time, place and who was expected to be in attendance also reassuring about the stance of only one “Meeting” their at the time, not colliding with anything. So the proper authorities were respected and the laws were followed by the FDC and their winners in this regard.

Kasangati 09.04.2016 P2

Still the Police and DPC of Kasangati had to go use a Preventative Arrest strategy of cutting of the roads to Kasangati and Kampala with a giant new Roadblock to make sure that Dr. Kizza Besigye does not attend the Opposition Victory celebration.

So the Uganda Police Force and the Government continues to stifle him and not make him have an ordinary political life or even living as a person, so the freedom and the liberty of him is not there.

UPF Road to Kasangati 09.04.2016

I am sure that Police are using only subsection 9 of the POMA:

“(1) The police shall be responsible for preserving law and order before, during and after a public meeting”.

Kasangati 09.04 P1

The Police had to take-in and drag-in, pardon me tow-in the car Reg no. UAW 616W that Ingrid Turinawe was we’re travelling in with and is now taken to Kasangati police station; because they couldn’t help themselves.

Ingrid Car 09.04.

This is the grand gesture of the Police since they cannot and the ruling party cannot accept the truth or the concern of the opposition leader, as they have blatantly keep him under siege and house-arrest since Mid-February.

Kasangati 09.04.2016 P3

They said they would leave, but doing this when they have been more steady and active. As the visible signs of today, Don Museveni and his tribe can do as they please with no-sense of justice for the rest. Epitome of that principal is Dr. Kizza Besigye and his opposition Party Officials and Opposition Parties in general as they play in his playground and therefore can get silenced by any means. Peace.

Good News: Christoper Aine Come’s Back from the “dead”; but the question remains – What did really happen?

Aine NTV

I have written about this before, since there was no clarity of what happened after the Election Violence between NRM Supporters and Go-Forward Supporters in the Ntungamo clashes. That was on the 13th December there with NRM People and Regional Commander involved in the sponsoring of the violence,;therefore the Don Museveni said the famous words of never playing with the Leopards Anus. The Go Forward camp got detained and the NRM supporters got facilitated with monies for their hurt; because the only Ugandans that matters is the ones that follows the vision of the Don.

The Good News:

“Christopher Aine, Amama Mbabazi’s security aide has resurfaced alive and well, four months after he reportedly went missing. Aine has handed himself over to government, according to Gen. Salim Saleh. A soft spoken Aine says he spent the last four months hiding in Tanzania. At the height of Aine’s disappearance, his family accused police of being in possession of their relative. Social media was later awash with a photo purported to be Aine’s body. During the entire time of his ‘disappearance’, police maintained it was not in possession of the aide who was reportedly picked up by police in December” (NBS TV Uganda, 07.04.2016).

Go Forward 17.12.15 Free Aine

Before all of this, the Inspectorate General of the Police Kayihura took out Cash Reward for telling where he was on the new-years. That was necessary skeptical about since it seemed so strange from the Police Force and the amount of detaining the opposition. Especially since this kind of thing happens the detaining family members for questioning the authorities for his whereabouts. That former Police Intelligence worker and now Political Analyst Charles Rwomusushana for posting a picture on social media get detained and questioned at Special Investigation Unit at Kireka. That Norman Tumuhimbise of the Jobless Brotherhood who went looking in the missing person in Nakaseke District without look; and second person to offer reward for finding the man. So with all of these actions while nobody coming up front with great details. And the Police through CP Fred Enaga claiming this and that do not secure the family. While later the Police Slamming the Family of Aine to create drama about his status. That while the son still not-knowing the whereabouts.

So the picture of a seemingly dead man makes a person suspicious when it comes to a Police Force who shots journalist and detain opposition without trials or court verdicts, henceforth the initial thoughts went to he was dead. The assumption should not be weird knowing the violence from the Police Force and the Army in the Pre-Election Period.

IGP Kale Kayihura Quote

On 11th January 2016 I wrote this one the case:

“The starting spin-control in the end of December 2015; show’s a man like me that they know more then what they are telling the public. So we can question what is happening, I don’t have the answers, it just don’t add up. The Police know more then what they release, the Go-Forward team comments are direct, and the family of Aine has been upfront from the get-go since it their son and family member. They are the only ones in this who has been totally truthful and saying how they feel. Something they are entitled to and they should be the first ones to gain information on the matter” (Minbane, 11.01.2016).

We had the right to question what happen and what we’re the truth, as the Authorities and the Go-Forward Group tried to either deflect or attack each other, while the family and Civil Society Organization, together with Political activist went in to try to find answers.

Ntungamo 13.12.15 Yellow

Even with him surfacing today, there is many unanswered questions where was he really? Who has supported him while being gone? Why did the Police detain his family member, Rwomusushana and Tumuhimbise? Because there must be reasons for the issues the Government had with them trying to find out his whereabouts and question the Police in their search for him. The supposed death and the intelligence if the government had it; could have issued something else then the Spin-Control that was done during the month of January in 2016.

It’s good news that has surfaced in the home of Gen. Salim Selah, brother of Mzee, the former General of Intelligence. That the military man sheds light on the giant question that has been in public during the Pre-Election Period and the worry of the Go Forward Security Officer. There were many reasons for this, as the violence from the government could be put in question and the militarized politics that the President Museveni stands for.

When the truth get shed light on and when we can see who coined the most for his disappearance and the agreements for hiding him. Then we will truly know the truth behind it, because parts of the disappearance are still in the dark and the play it did on the Hon. Amama Mbabazi campaign. Also what did President Museveni have done when it comes to the disappearance as well, because the NRM regime could have done a lot and shed light on matter; but that didn’t happen at all!

So the story will continue to unfold and many questions remain, where was Christopher Aine during the Pre-Election Period, and why did he surface today? Peace.

Pictures of Don Museveni checking the ruins of Rwenzori Clashes today!

Museveni Rwenzori 07.04.2016

“President Yoweri Museveni, who is currently in the Rwenzori Sub-Region in Western Uganda on a security assessment tour, has directed for immediate increased deployment of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) and the Police Force in the border district Bundibugyo after complaints from the people of the area about the deteriorating security situation in that district” (NTV Uganda, 07.04.2016).

Pictures showing yet again the Commander-in-Chief of the UPDF or the Don Museveni checking his playground with his favourite weapon. Pictures says how much he loves his guns and army-fattigue instead of being a statesman in Parliament. The Racket continues to prosper in the area as the Capos are making sure Don Museveni are eating alone. Peace.

“Uganda sacrificing civil liberties for the sake of stability” says US envoy (Youtube-Clip) & Ofwono Opondo responds!

“The United States Ambassador to Uganda has raised concern that government appears to be sacrificing the civil liberties of citizens rights at the altar of maintaining stability. Ambassador Deborah Malac who was addressing students from higher institutions of learning here in Kampala says the poor organization of the elections and detention of opposition politicians has dented Uganda’s democratic credentials. Herbert Zziwa has the details of that report” (NTV Uganda, 2016).

RESPONSE TO US AMBASSODOR MS. DEBORAH MALAC
7th April 2016

The Uganda Government notes and takes strong exception to the continued unfair criticisms about its elections and human rights records by the US Ambassador Ms. Deborah Malac. We would like to briefly respond as follows;
The U.S. Government sponsored an election observer team under the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy (EISD) in Africa, through the International Republican Institute (IRI) Washington D.C. This was led by former Zambian President Rupiah Banda, which issued a report giving credit to Uganda’s just concluded elections. We would like to advise Ambassador Deborah Malac to carefully read that report. Unless she is giving it a vote of no confidence, then she is at liberty to keep referring to and relying on the partisan and very shallow EU report.
lt is strange that Ambassador Malac doesn’t refer to the report her government commissioned. Secondly, she doesn’t acknowledge that late delivery of ballot materials was in only two out of 112 districts in Uganda. These were isolated incidents and indeed time was extended and all voters who wished to vote did cast their votes, and those votes were counted, tallied and added to final results.

Since the publication of the Uganda Presidential Election results, none of the observer groups has come with credible evidence to challenge the results posted by Electoral Commission. We therefore wish to ask them to either adduce evidence or keep their peace for good. Otherwise, we know that some groups in the US and EU, including diplomats accredited to Uganda, funded and are still funding opposition elements in Uganda to cause government change outside the constitutional framework but are disappointed this hasn’t been successful as yet.
The U.S., which uses raw power to project its influence and interests around the world, is the least competent to ask other nations for democratic accountability. Uganda’s democracy is progressing well and we are satisfied with both the pace and achievements registered so far.
