Opinion: Tayebwa – Never offend the fountain of honour or his family…

“For party members, I do hope that they follow the party position. There are many positions that we do have, within Parliament, but also in the Party. And then, those who think that parliament is only effective when you are abusing the President, please, please, the fountain of honour is the fountain of honour for all of us. If we honour him, the county will be honoured. So, I request all of us not fight over this. If you want to be popular in a Parliament, get a microphone and abuse the President, add on his wife, add on his son; then you will be popular, people will say, you talk sense. So, if you were to run a parliament on the streets of social media, what the streets of social media are saying, and that is the script you want to come and run a Parliament. Wow. I am sorry!” – Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa (05.03.2026).

The Deputy Speaker is really saying the silent part out loud. That there is no need to challenge him or Anita Among regarding the two major roles of the Parliament in the 12^th Parliament. This is the reality they want to sell, as there are several of roles to fill in the cabinet and in government. So, there is no need to take their slot or try to be viable, as they are the ones chosen by His Excellency and his inner circle.

In addition, the ones in Parliament shouldn’t misuse their time regarding the First Family. These shouldn’t be abused or spoken ill off, even if that makes you popular. Because everyone should just honour Museveni and then they are honouring the nation. That’s what his saying and it shows how he has personification of the state. Everything is surrounding and involving His Excellency. That’s not building strong institutions but instead being built around one figure. This isn’t making a strong nation but instead letting one man of the hook and giving him absolute powers.

It is them saying that we’re not supposed to criticize or even hold any deep scrutiny of Museveni. Him and his family can do whatever they want, and no one should challenge them. No, the First Family are untouchable, and they will ensure their enemies are bowing out. This is what the Deputy Speaker says… because the ones who went after or even exposed the President in the 11^th Parliament aren’t really returning to the 12^th Parliament. Those voices are sort of bowing out or losers in the latest election. Therefore, the National Unity Platform (NUP) must take the space from hardliners of the old-FDC and UPC MPs who said their peace. Nevertheless, we must wait and see about this. We have seen COSASE and other committees have dropped scathing reports either. So, the 11^th Parliament went soft and we can wonder how the 12^th will be.

The Deputy Speaker wouldn’t’ say all of this without showing his loyalty to the President and his family. Because he knows he need their approval and they are the ones that anoints him. This is why he need them and want to show his worthy for another term. That’s why no one should abuse the President or anyone in his family. This because his family is encircling the highest offices and are appointed by the Head of State himself. Therefore, we know the gig and that’s reason for all of it.

We see what you are doing Deputy Speaker, and it isn’t cute. You are just proving to be a token solider and a willing highest bidder. That’s it. Your value is your loyalty and that you want to sell. Peace.

Kiiza & Mugisha Advocates letter to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP): Request for Full Disclosure to Defence Counsel Vide: NAK-CR-NO.A-008/2025; DPP Case No. NKW-CO-0285-2025; Uganda Vs. Col (Rtd) Dr. Kizza Besigye Kifefe and 2 Others (04.03.2026)

Dr. Kizza Besigye has been behind bars for 465 days [without a proper trial or due process]: Flash drives without material are delaying the process

“The defence lawyers for Dr. Kizza Besigye and his co-accused, Hajji Obeid Lutale and Captain Denis Oola, have raised concerns over the state providing only part of the evidence in their case. The state admitted the partial disclosure and asked the court to postpone the case scheduling to 3 March 2026, saying they need time to transfer the materials onto devices like flash drives. While the prosecution promised full disclosure by then, the defence said they have only received written transcripts without the audio and video files, and stressed they need enough time to properly review all evidence, which should have been shared by 21 January 2026” (NTV Uganda, 24.02.2026).

After 465 days behind bars and without any due process. The State and the Authorities claim they haven’t had the time to move evidence over to a flash-drive. They have kept him over a year behind bars. These people are detaining him and keeping him behind bars with every excuse of the book.

Now they need to move material into a flash drive. They should have had all the time to do this, and this is just a mockery of everyone’s time. It is just foolish and deliberate. Maybe after a few weeks they need to transfer it all to a CD or even a MINI-DISC. Maybe even have to fax it or find time to usage postage to get it received and copied on time. Seriously, who buys this?

They have moved the case between the courts and there been petitions of bail, which have been denied. The state hasn’t given way but only blocked the political prisoners any space or ability to get out on bond. Therefore, they are just using all tricks in the book to keep them behind bars. Nevertheless, they now have a new vibe running.

Who believes this now?

This is another smokescreen and a trick of the state. Sooner or later, evidence or sort of proof will go missing. They will lack witnesses and there will be ghosts gone wild too. Who think the state will produce anything of substance and sincerity? As if they couldn’t have done it by now and they have only amended the charges but not done anything else since keeping him detained. Therefore, who are believing them or even trusting the process?

These people have charged and kept Besigye behind bars before but never been able to sentence him. He has been pinned so much and the most arrested person in the Republic. A fellow man who has been in trouble for his political work or activism. That’s why he has been a target, and this proves it, yet again.

Now a lack of material produced and moved onto a flash-drive is the reason for the case to go live. That’s what they are claiming and saying, but who truly believes this? Who are taking them seriously or even have faith in them?

That’s because it is happening after 465 days and they have had over a year to do it, but now they haven’t been able to do so. Please… please. This is nonsense and everyone knows it. Peace.

 

 

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.

Uganda Law Society (ULS): Radical New Bar – Communication from the ULS President on the First Anniversary of His Forced Exile (19.02.2026)

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.
