Uganda Law Society Statement on Blocking of Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi’s Music Shows (28.12.2018)

Bobi Wine Concert Blockade: Shows the Naked Truth about Museveni!

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act”George Orwell

There are apologists out there, that are blaming Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine for his actions against the government. That is why the government is blocking his concerts. However, that just shows the viciousness of the government. As they cannot accept that not all people are blind followers of the President and his cronyism.

The likes of Mwenda will ensure that the blind men are blaming Bobi Wine, I will not exercise my right to double-down on him. Because, I have done enough of it in the past and Andrew doesn’t deserve my time. He can love the dictator in his head. Please continue.

However, the Boxing Day blocking of concert on Bobi Wine’s own land. They came with tear-gas and arresting several of the team before the concert. The Firebase crew had written and ask for clearance. Still, the Police Force came crashing in and stopped the event.

That is like the MP is the devil. At the same time, the President is promoting and is a PR Person for the Bebe Cool event in Uganda. Bebe Cool has all rights to perform, but he does as a sign of loyalty to the President. Therefore, getting all the subsidizes and help from the same regime that is going after Bobi Wine. That shows who is allowed and who is not.

They are saying various statements, that Bobi Wine was not prepared. However, all documentation dropped online proves that the government knew and there was correspondence. The Police Force knew and had the knowledge. The Police Force was able for the first Kyarenga Concert at the same venue. So, why not do it again in December?

This just shows the blatantly disregard of justice, freedom and liberty for one individual. As, the blockage of concerts for Bobi Wine is yet another prime example of how the President controls everything. He has done with plenty of persons in the opposition. Where he will stop them from doing their thing. Making their lives hectic and lose opportunities, because they are brave enough to stand in the way of the President.

President Museveni, who this Christmas Season spoke of loving thy neighbour and being there for each other. Apparently, he didn’t mean Bobi Wine and his kind. While Bebe Cool is super cool and can do whatever he like. That is the reality… but not that the apologists will ever say that. Because Cool had license to this, but Wine didn’t have it. We all know the Police is political and following orders from above. They are directly going against Bobi Wine, in same manner, as it has done in the recent decade. Peace.

Bobi Wine Statement on the blocked Boxing Day Show (26.12.2018

By Bobi Wine

“Friends,

The situation at One Love Beach is tense. It has been turned into a war zone. As if the raid last night was not enough, this morning they blocked the roads leading to the Beach and announced that our Boxing Day show is off. Our fans who had started gathering have been dispersed with tear gas and water cannons. As I said, yesterday they did the same thing and disrupted two concerts at which I was meant to perform.

Up to now, we have not been given any official reason as to why the show was blocked, because we wrote to police long ago and complied with all legal requirements. (I have sent along with this message, copies of the correspondences because one Emilian Kayima, the police spokesperson was on TV this morning saying that we did not comply with the guidelines although he did not specify anything that we did not fulfill). As they have been doing recently, they did not respond to us at all, until last night when they showed up to dirupt the event. This is after we had invested a lotof resources in advertising and other preparations. The police officers on the ground are avoiding the cameras – they simply told me that they are here on orders from above!! My colleague artistes are having their shows unhindered. President Museveni was even recorded live advertising a show for one artiste, to be held on this same day- as if to say that he owns Uganda, and if you want to be allowed to work, you have to lick his feet and be his sycophant!

Here is my message to him. Through these actions, you are revealing who you truly are- a brutal, cold and cowardly despot. You think you are hurting me and my dependents by blocking my sources of income, but you should know that the world is watching. Yes, I have done a show every 26th December for the last ten years, but if this is one of the many sacrifices I have to make for believing in justice and freedom, so be it! I will assure you once again that your intention to break my resolve through harassment and intimidation will certainly fail. I shall not kneel before you. I shall not be cowed by your acts of terror. The forces of evil may be so fearsome, but they never win in the end. One day, God being our help, you shall fall like all the other tyrants who came before you.

Thank you comrades in the struggle, brothers and sisters, olwo’kwebelelamu! Those who are resisting this madness in every way, power to you! I have been telling you and you can now see, that our solution will not come from the courts, from Parliament or anywhere else. The solution will come from us! We should not forget that Parliament last week passed a resolution against these illegal and repressive actions. But that resolution is being held in contempt, like they do to court orders and the very Constitution of this land!

I appreciate the messages of support and solidarity from all over the world and assure you that your prayers and effort shall not be in vain. We shall overcome.”

Bobi Wine’s letters of Notification to the Authorities, ahead of the 26th December 2018 Concert.

Opinion: PM Rugunda sudden ghosting like VP Ssekandi

We are living in marvellous times as the big-men are avoiding answering for their acts. We are living in times, where the cronies of the President vanishes into thin-air, because they lack moral authority and respect of the law. They are just going away into the abyss without telling people.

That Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda did come to the Plenary Session on the 18th December 2018 is a proof of neglect and disrespect of the August House. That the PM doesn’t mind skipping hard questions and the role of government, as they are busy stifling the voices of dissent in the republic. That is the mere reality.

The Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda on Wednesday failed to appear before Parliament to explain why government had banned Kyadondo East legislator Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine from performing at live music concerts. However in a surprise move, even the minister of Internal Affairs, Jeje Odong who was delegated to read the government statement disappeared in thin air after attending Parliament for a few hours. During plenary on December 18, the Speaker Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga summoned Rugunda to appear before the House the next day and explain why government continues to block Bobi Wine from performing at live concerts across the country” (Sam Ibanda Mugabi – ‘Rugunda vanishes, fails to explain ban on Bobi Wine concerts’ 20.12.2018, link: http://nilepost.co.ug/2018/12/20/rugunda-vanishes-fails-to-explain-ban-on-bobi-wine-concerts/).

Usually, the biggest ghost, the biggest man who is nowhere to be found is the Vice-President Edward Ssekandi. He can be gone for months without any public profile, he is like the marionette, who is there, but isn’t really.

Now, this week, it seems like the Prime Minister needs some teaching from the VP to be able to vanish without people caring. Because this is the reality. That the PM doesn’t want to answer for blocking of concerts, the blatant disregard for the artistry and livelihood of the MP Robert Kyagulanyi. As they are showing signs of oppression against him.

Therefore, the ghosting, the reflection of weakness, the lack of respect and dignity of the Parliament. Comes also to the front, as the PM don’t even have the character to stand up for his boss and answer simple questions. It should be easy, as this is acts done deliberately by the government against the MP. It shouldn’t be rocket science.

However, the PM should take a few lessons from the VP. If he did, he wouldn’t end up in the headlines, but at a burial, officiating for the state. Peace.

Uganda: CID summons three journalists for “cyber harassment” (18.12.2018)

Opinion: Bosco is the biggest coward for blocking Bobi Wine!

There are someone out there that is so afraid of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, that he is using all his tools at his disposal to stop him from being himself. That the Member of Parliament from Kyadondo East and Artist. Is such a phenomenon, that the President is shitting in his pants. Actually, he doesn’t know what does with the Leopards Anus. He is sprinting around like a wild fox trying to capture the game.

Why does I say that, because not only has the authorities blocked him from performing at Namboole Stadium, as Bobi Wine and management planned for scheduled Album Launch there in October, second time at the same venue in November. Days after he rescheduled on his land at the Busaabala – One Love Beach. Where he was able to hold it after all issues with authorities, but because it was on his own property. They couldn’t stop it.

In the early December, the same authorities blocked a Kyarenga Extra at the Smiling Panda in Gulu, the day before the trial, which a continuation of the oppression from the Post-Arua By-Election. That the state plans to keep on going into 2020, if they get their wish. Yesterday, was yet another day, as he was the headliner at the 5th Street Jam in Jinja. Where the Police went all out, blocked the roads, detained and abducted the Bobi Wine Team there. There is nothing the Police wouldn’t do in their tyranny to make life worse for the MP. That is the reality with their recent actions.

As they have blocked him all the way, stopped him from performing as an artist. That would be as the Police would go to one of the ranches of the President. Destroy the produce and kill the livestock. That is what the Police is doing to Bobi Wine. They are also arresting his friends, his associates and his management team. They are really playing hardball, showing force and intent.

It is proof again and again. Just like it has been with everything Besigye has tried in his time. Bobi Wine is feeling now. Museveni is showing his true color again and again. Peace.

Bobi Wine blocked from performing, yet again!

In Jinja today, the Police has again shown their loyalty to their master, as they have blocked Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine from performing at the Fifth Annual Street Jam. This was bound to happen at the Queens Palace. The event was cleared by the Police before, but they didn’t care.

To top it all, the Police raided City Hotel where the artist and MP was supposed to stay. Also, where the Firebase or team of Bobi Wine was residing. They while they were trying to find his hideout. Clearly, the Police has a mission to stifle and make his life hard.

That the Police are working hard to torment the people of Bobi Wine is clear. As they are taken now, arrested and put into jeopardy. Bobi Wine is trying to make a living, while being an artist and the freedom of speech, the liberty to assemble and the freedom for all isn’t for all. It is a limited freedom and a limited liberty in the Republic. The proof has long been the stifling of all political activity for Besigye. Now the same is happening Bobi Wine. Finally, some more eyes are opened. As he is trying just to perform his craft.

This is the truth of the acts of oppression and dictatorship. An artist, a man who oppose the almighty, the one that orders everything from above. The acts of a President, that wants again to show his force, his might and what resources he posses. That anyone who is in his way has to pay.

However, that will be his legacy, even if he preaches peace and dialogue, the torture, the destruction of institutions and the lack of faith in the public. Is the reality of these actions. President Museveni has lost his ways, but he doesn’t know it. Because all the YES-MEN around praise his every fart and smell of poop.

That is just the reality and its sad. That the tyrant thinks he has the vision, but really looks at the world like a drunk sea-man. He is faring blindly, but have no clue.

Bobi Wine is a threat to the power-drunk man at the State House. This is not news, but we just have to repeat it. Peace.

Opinion: Museveni implicit saying that his the only one justified to rule!

they should better start dreaming of other alternatives” Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 13.12.2018

When a President of 32 years says to the public to dream of other alternatives, because he is not retiring. Bosco are really something else. When he does this at a Summit where he is supposed to gratify the dialogue and negotiate with the Opposition. The man who has ruled for over three decades cannot retire. The man that is officially 74 years old

What is more important is that the mandatory retiring age for civil servants in the Republic is 60 years old. Saying that if that would imply the President are already overworked by 14 years, if the official age and birthday is true, which by this point is questionable because of the paper-trail left behind the President himself. The President by the precedence that state has done this to its civil workers, maybe he should have considered it himself.

Museveni speech at IPOD:

I hear people like Mao talking about transition, how they would like to sit in the audience and see Museveni handing over power. That is the most important thing for him. I do not think that is the most important and it is good he is saying that” (…) “So, the political class, instead of talking about the destiny of Africa, you are talking about petty things— elections, who becomes who. That is why I have said if I still have strength, I will continue” (…) “his is my point of view: not to retire when the original issues of why Africa nearly perished have not been addressed. And you are just addressing small things— elections. The ones you are electing, you elect them to do what exactly? (sic) That is what you should answer. I have no other interest in politics because I am a cattle keeper” (…) “they should better start dreaming of other alternatives” (Daily Monitor – ‘Don’t dream about my exit, Yoweri Museveni tell his rivals’ 14.12.2018, link: https://www.nation.co.ke/news/africa/Yoweri-Museveni-clings-on-power/1066-4895118-xbg64k/index.html).

It is insulting to his people, that the man of 32 years and 74 years old. Think he is the only one fit to rule. As he is not yet ready to have anyone to succeed him or a possible transition from his Bush-War mentality rule. That the President of 1986 until today. Thinks he has the only wisdom to carry the Republic.

Museveni was the new breed, that Bill Clinton and others looked up to in the early 1990s, but as time has gone by. The proof is that it was a new wine into old sacks. It wasn’t that new breed, it was new names, logos and programs, but not new actions. If he had been that new, he wouldn’t have fought for so long and had two referendums on Multi-Party Democracy. If he was that new, he wouldn’t put treason charges and torture fellow civilians who oppose him. If he was that new, he wouldn’t kill of enemies and use safe-houses to put people in. If Museveni was a new breed, the public wouldn’t be living under fear or if assembling by anyone else fearing their lives or for the loved ones. As his guards and his guns will hit you. That is who Museveni is.

That is why his words are dangerous, when he speaks of dreaming and alternatives. Does he want more people to the Bush to fight him? Does Uganda need another transition with guns and civil war? Just because one old man, thinks he is entitled to rule supreme until eternity?

Because, he is implying he is a cattle-keeper, but that is partly true. As the giant ranch is the people of Uganda and he is fencing them in. Since he is not leaving them and whipping them until they following his words. That is what he has done for decades and continues to do.

He knows he is not that popular, that is why he has gone from being the savior of the Republic to becoming the Pan-African Jesus. Museveni doesn’t just want to ensure his place in Uganda, but he wants to seal of the deals of the East African Community and the whole continent. He is taken the Gadaffi route. He wants to be the anointed king of Africa.

Yower or Yoseri are saying people needs to dream of alternatives, as he is not retiring at the advanced age he is.

It is 32 years and counting. He thinks he rule forever. That is his dream. That is why the long nightmare continues to the Republic. Since one man thinks he is entitled to rule.

The only man with vision, is now the ONLY MAN ALLOWED TO RULE. The rest of you deserves a nightmare, apparently living under his reign. Peace.
