Twisted mind of Museveni: Don’t won’t to have debate on Ad-Hoc Report on the Arua By- Election!

On the 22nd August, the Ad-Hoc Committee published their report on the aftermath of the 15th August Arua Municipality By-Election. As the violence, the arbitrary arrests and treason charges has hit Members of Parliament, as well as civilians whose been damaged by the authorities and security organizations as they tortured them. That is why so many of them needs to be hospitalized and needs remedy. Now, the President who is so happy with the results as 11 are still behind bars and the 23 others are partly on bail, awaiting more trials. The President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has no mercy and shows his cold shoulder. As he wants this case out of the world and the headlines. He doesn’t want the continuation of that.

However, when you torture and arrests fellow Members of Parliament, hurt dozens of civilians and even have fatal casualties because the actions of the Special Force Command. Than, there is all natural to debate and find the culprits behind the ones who killed the civilian. However, for the President it is fine that the driver of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine died. As well, as he has not taken much action for the arrests in the riots, the killings in Mityana and Mukono.

That is why it is insulting with this reports from the two biggest TV channels today!

President Museveni has advised the NRM parliamentary Caucus to halt all debate the Ad-hoc committee report on members of parliament arrested after during the Arua municipality by-elections, arguing that this would it would prejudice investigations elsewhere. The call came as the president met the NRM caucus at State House Entebbe. The meeting had been called to brief the legislators on the violence in Arua and its aftermath” (NTV Uganda, 28.08.2018).

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has commended the high skills and discipline exhibited by the Special Forces Command to contain the Arua fracas that involved the stoning of one of his convoy cars. While meeting the NRM Caucus, the president also informed legislators on how both Kyadondo East legislator Robert Kyagulanyi and Mityana Municipality legislator Francis Zaake resisted arrest and instead resorted to assaulting the army officers” (NBS Television, 28.08.2018).

If this isn’t a sign of recklessness, as we have already read that the Deputy Speaker Jacob Oulanyah haven’t wanted to stop Parliamentary Business, even if there are no direct investigation into the tortured MPs. Because, the business and day-to-day business of the Parliament are to important. That is like he was the mouth-piece of Museveni. As he told the National Resistance Movement Parliamentary Caucus had a secret meeting at Entebbe today.

Instead of discussing and more fact-finding, as the Ad-Hoc Committee Report is showing parts and some evidence of what went down. That explains the details of some of the issues of what went down. As the narrative from the government and the president haven’t been accordingly or fitting together. Therefore, the act of the President to advise the NRM Caucus to not debate it. Is a way of silencing the Parliament and the Representatives of the public. As the NRM is the majority of the Parliament and have the power to do so.

That the President is a coward and weakling, who cannot manage scrutiny is evident. He just blows people away with guns, tear-gas and intimidation of possible arrests. But cannot man up to take responsibility for the harm the state does to their own. That is true tyranny, when the dictator are ordering pain and looking away, when the reality hits the streets. That is why he has advised this and most likely will the NRM MPs follow his words. As they know the price of not doing so and the pay-off for following him in the long-run.

That he cannot even manage to debate the Ad-Hoc Report shows how he wants to control and silence other voices. As he wants to keep people in the dark and doesn’t want investigations into it. Because he knows secrets and the spin that has been all a lie. Because the Arua stone isn’t all powerful to break bullet-proof glass, neither is the violence real, as the SFC did the shooting and targeted the car of Bobi Wine. While they where hunting down the opposition, as they was winning yet another By-Election. A result the President cannot handle. That is why he has warned the Electoral Commission to review itself and deliver more credible results aka NRM friendly results.

The President prefer the beautiful lie over the brutal truth, because he wants to silence people and keep them out of the loop. Peace.

Being on bail is not free: Bobi Wine and Arua 33 are still in legal limbo!

Today, was yet another turn in the long road to freedom for the people who fights the dictatorship of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. The ones celebrating today’s verdict in Gulu Magistrate Court. Are prematurely celebrating. Today wasn’t a victory or a minor leap.

Today, is just like yesterday. Maybe, not in the sense that the Members of Parliament is behind bars. Neither all the activists or any or the Arua 33 are directly behind bars. Still, their trials are coming up, the court filings will continue and they will have to go bail hearings.

People might don’t want to hear that sober opinion, but a bail or bond. Means, that the ones on this will have to show up to hearings and remand the person, as the supposed trial and sentencing are supposed to happen. This sort of political trials we have seen before with Gen. Moses Ali and Dr. Kizza Besigye. Where the state are prolonging the trials, the injunctions and discovery face, as the so called production of evidence are supposed to happen.

That the Members of Parliament: Robert Kyagulanyi, Kassiano Wadri, Mubarak Munyangwa. Francis Zaake, Paul Mwiru and Michael Mabikke. All of them is not out of the trouble, as the legal trouble might be gone, as there been celebration of the release of the gentlemen. I hate to destroy the party, but its not.

The journey to freedom is far from over, as there are 5 persons in Kampala arrested for printing t-shirts and gear with free Bobi Wine slogans. This is the same happen when they were printing Besigye t-shirts. Therefore, the limited freedom is still there. As the MPs are out on conditions and awaiting trials, they are awaiting possible sentencing and more questioning from the authorities. Even as the state has shown recklessness, as the lawyers of Bobi Wine from Netherlands was “person non-grata” today.

We have to continue the fight. The journey is just starting. No time to celebrate, the wounds have to mend, but the reality is that these men are not free. The state is a mere instrument of the President to control and silence his opponents.

If that isn’t evident for your eyes, than your blind to the evils happening in the shadows and behind closed doors. Peace.

Speaker Kadaga letter to President Museveni: “Re: Urgent Action to Arrest, Arraign and try the Security Officers who participated in the torture of Members of Parliament and civilians, following the Arua Municipality By Elections in August 2018 (27.08.2018)

A stray-bullet for your thoughts!

You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Men, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders.”Chris Rock

There is time to recollect our minds and be washed away in the blunders of the past. There are enough issues to grasp. It isn’t just a mere, free the Members of the Parliament, Free the Arua 33 and the activists taken by the authorities. Also the continued purge on the ones in and around Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. All of the MPs deserves to remembered, as their lack of freedom, needs to be addressed, this is for Kassiano Wadri, Francis Zaake, Mubarak Munyangwa and Gerald Karuhanga. All of these as mentioned are still bound by the state for various of charges and because the President can do this.

What we need is to look at the stray-bullets too. The ones that isn’t hitting the targets directly, but are still killing. The reality where the state is really attacking the possibility to gather as the Joint Communique from the Security Organizations even banned protests and demonstrations. Even if the ones bringing the violence and the killing is the state. They are the ones with the live-ammunition and the ones who are in-charge of it. Therefore, the ones dying during and after the demonstrations are most likely casualties or targets done by the state.

That is why the unfortunate deaths of innocent citizens are showing the lack of care. Just as much as the state are arresting people without warrants, charges or keeping them detained for months before even putting them to trial. That is what the state does to its political prisoners. This shows the lack of mercy and lack of procedure. If not they are scrapping following certain laws, because they are not part of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), therefore, deserves another set of rules of law.

That is why we should worry of all the stray-shots, even if that is a spin. As the soldiers, the Special Force Command and other outfits are really trying to intimidate and show the world that the Ugandan lives are not valued by the state. They are just someone they are randomly hit. They are acting like the soldiers are not trained and just pulling the trigger purposeless.

That is what bothers me, is the narrative they are spinning with this. That they are just killing people incidentally. That is insulting to the families of the deceased. The Authorities are really just saying, that the shot was done accidental. So, if that was really the case, why are there lacking open investigations into the usage of bullets by the state?

Because, the state has promised to investigate into the torture and damage done on journalists, but will they look into the killings and use of guns? Or is that just something they do, because they can? There is no consequence for the state to use stray-bullets on people?

That is why the authorities and the state has to stop use of live-bullets when engaging with citizens. There should be other ways of dealing with protesters that doesn’t turn fatal. That should be a “no-no”. But in the mind of Museveni and his kind, it is a “go-go”.

Stop, the stray-bullets narrative has to die, because a soldier and trained military personnel actually AIMS! Peace.

Museveni now claims the arrested MPs was misbehaving!

We have crimes in towns, the many boda bodas, vehicles crowding in the City and the errant politicians beating up innocent women. The errant politicians are being handled by the law. We also have the CCTV cameras being installed in the city to tame all these criminals” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on 24th August 2018).

That President Yoweri Kaguta Musveni calls Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, Mubarak Munyanga, Patrick Mwiru, Kassiano Wadri, Michael Mabikke, Gerald Karuhanga and Francis Zaake. All of these men are the ones he is mentioning, he might not saying their names, but saying the MPs handled by the law. Are these men, therefore, we know he means this.

To be errant means to be misbehaving, move about aimlessly or staying outside the proper path. When Museveni says this, is that they move on the outside of his circle, they are not following his guidance and his principles. Even if his jaded vision, his mental fatigue is evident. There are clearly the mature way of understanding this man of advanced age.

That Museveni says this and alleges this, shows how immature he is and how belittling he is. That he blames them and thinks it is enough to be handled by the law. The law that fits these errant men, but not him. As he doesn’t have to answer for ordering the Special Force Command to kill and quell the crowds with live-bullets. That is not errant and not wrong, but going outside of the one-man vision of him, that is directly criminal.

It is futile to say this to Museveni. His jaded vision is so blurry, that he cannot see right or wrong. Because he is the almighty who can do whatever he wants without any consequence. However, as long as you are in the way of him, you will taste the justice and the law. That is what the arrested errant MPs.

You don’t need to be bright to get the picture. The snap is right there. The President can try to forge charges, juice up the stats, but the reality will be the same. He is trying to make a mirage appear in the desert, but that is not happening. Not today and not tomorrow, except for the types of Mwenda, Opondo and Wanyama. The rest of us, see and shake our heads.

Errant Politicians? Political Indiscipline, the indiscipline is because they are not following you and being your subjects, but actually thinking human beings. Whose not your tin-soldiers to move around like you please. Get your act to together. Peace.

Reuters Africa Letter to General David Muhoozi on investigation and treatment of James Akena (24.08.2018)

The State has started a purge on Bobi Wine’s friends!

If you ever knew the price of going against a tyranny or against a dictatorship. You know it now, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. That Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has hit the heart of the dictatorship is now evident. As the Security Outfits are going in plain-clothes and arresting his friends at night.

Last night at around 1AM at Red Pocket Pub, unknown and plain-clothed men arrested Eddie Mutwe aka Ssebuffu Eddy. Whose Bobi Wine’s friend and bodyguard. He was taken without any warrant or any legal reason.

During this morning, Bobi Wine’s DJ David Bwanika was taken from his home. Therefore, there are now searching for anyone in and around Bobi Wine. They are now really surely soon arresting the FireBase Studios artists, as they have done before as well. Since they want to punish Bobi Wine a little extra.

Not only give him forged charges, but also go against his friendships and business-partners. That is what is happening now. The ones associated with Bobi Wine is the state having a purge on. They are not random selected people, but people connected to Bobi Wine. That is why this is deliberate and well-planned by the security outfits. As they know whose around and associated with him. This has been well known, as the artist and performer of Bobi Wine’s stature has had his circle in the media. Therefore, the arrests today, is to prove at what cost it has to go against the dictatorship.

Bobi Wine and the Arua 33 is bad enough. The tortured and the detained Members of Parliament, the citizens after the By-Election. All of them deserves justice, while the state continues to offer more injustice.

We are just seeing a purge on the associates and friends of Bobi Wine. Just like we have seen the security outfits done to other activists in the past. They are following a pattern of vicious attacks on the population. Especially the ones that questions and have ability to spark resistance. Peace.

Dr. Kizza Besigye – Release Bond (23.08.2018)

Groundhog Day: Liberation from Prison for Besigye!

Yet again, the Police have released Dr. Kizza Besigye as they arrested him in his home this morning. As he was supposed to go to Gulu and attend the Court for Robert Kyagulanyi case. This he was barred from entering. As the state blocked and stopped most of the hardliners within the Opposition. That was done with others.

But now we know, that Besigye is left by the gates of home in Kasangati, Wakiso. Therefore, he is free. Without we’re knowing the reason for the arrest, charges or even warrants. He was just taken from his home, because the authorities can and the Police was ordered so from above high.

This day is just another day of impunity and criminality of the state, as they are making it illegal to opposition and making their lives hard. Because of their affiliation. That shows how the President and National Resistance Movement has to silence people.

They are so afraid of Besigye voice, as well as they are afraid of Bobi Wine. As both of them has shown their popularity and their message to the people has reacted too.

Besigye is really a sour thumb for the government. As they have to detain him, because he exists and because he could light a fire. A fire that the government are afraid it couldn’t contain. Just as they have seen what the young politician Bobi Wine could do as well. Now both of them have been charged with treason by this regime. That shows that these two are politicians that brings the fear of the state.

Besigye should be allowed to leave his home. Besigye shouldn’t have to go through this. No one should be arrested at their home, without charges or without warrants. That is just showing how insane the Police and NRM are at this point. Peace.

Opinion: NRM Apologist stop the charade, it is just tiring!

Let me be clear, this is just my tiredness of trying to evaluate and explain the pains of a Republic, that has been oppressed and taken for granted by the State House in Entebbe. Where the government and authorities have forgotten their mission and their role. Where the Security Organizations and the state is instead of serving, it is self-serving for the President and his cronies. The role of the state is finding ways for the elite to eat and keep the machinery pumping. Not trying to make the state better or service delivery worth a damn. That boat has left the harbour a long time ago.

Now, as the arrests, detaining MPs and the machine of killing innocents are in the middle of center stage. The apologists hops around like hot fire and blaming the opposition, like they are all to blame. Besigye deserves to be arrested in his home, he just send the radicals at the police. Bobi Wine needs to be detained, because his ghetto youths will just kills soldiers. Even if none of that has ever happen. They are blamed for the ills of society, but the monopoly of guns, arms and tear-gas is of the state. So the discussion, should be how the state uses their authority to quell the public.

That is why I am tired of the state machinery, the misconduct and the alternative reality the state apparatus is living in. They are at a such a state, they are trying to deflect the realities, they are trying to forge a narrative where the opposition is the problem, when the state itself makes the issues. It is not Robert Kyagulanyi who charged himself and put himself in prison. It is not Francis Zaake who hurt himself and dropped himself off at the Rubaga Hospital. Not like Kassiano Wadri has put the bracelets on himself. Neither, did any of the others over the last put themselves in this place. This was done deliberately by government and their military outfits. They didn’t jump into the paddy-wagons just for the hell-off-it.

That is why I am tired, because we know this and they know this. They are just washing their hands of this dirt. Trying to spoil the milk and make sure the people are pouring it out. Without even tasting or checking the thickness of the milk. That is what is up and also what is going down.

The lies of the state can continue, but that doesn’t make it more true. The way it tries to put deceptions, try to steer the conversations, blow out windows or windshields, make powerful stones break bulletproof glass. Is only things that can happen with a regime, like the NRM. That is why there are always something hidden and untold, something the President and the regime tries to hide. As they are trying to make innocent people into villains. Making sure Kizza Besigye and Bobi Wine are the arch-nemesis of Museveni.

Let the charade stop… let the reality sink in, forged charges and a populations being pawns in a struggle to continue to rule, which never stops until the last of breathe of one man. Who will use everyone and succeed everyone to stay there. Peace.
