The saga of Kamuswaga Arrest, travels to Germany for treatment and his Petition after the assult with the Police

“Three days ago (02.02.2016), it emerged that Apollo Sansa Kabumbuli, the Kamuswaga of Kooki Chiefdom was arrested by Special Forces Command officers for attempting to crash into the convoy of the Vice President, Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi. Here are the pictures of that incident at Kyajubira village near Bukunda trading center along Masaka-Mutukula Highway via the Observer newspaper. The Vice President, also Member of Parliament for Bukoto County Central constituency since 1996, was returning from his campaign rallies in Kyanamukaka sub-county, Masaka. Eye witnesses say trouble started after Kamuswaga, who was driving himself in his official vehicle, refused to give way to Ssekandi’s convoy. Ssekandi’s body guards swung into action and threatened to shoot the Kamuswaga, prompting him to draw out his gun and point it at the guards, leading to a scuffle and ensuing arrest” (NBS TV, 2016)

JUST IN: Police in Abim have arrested a BBC crew including reporter Catherine Byaruhanga found filming outside Abim Hospital.

Ms Byaruhanga was arrested with BBC cameraman Kelvin Brown, fixer Lawino Sam and driver Mahmoud Ahmed.
Abim Hospital came under national limelight when FDC presidential candidate Kizza Besigye decried its sorry state during a visit that resulted into the suspension of the nurses who showed him around. Days after Besigye’s visit, government announced the start of renovation works on the dilapidated facility (NBS TV Uganda, 2016).
Latest update:
Regional Police Commander Peter Nkulega says Catherine Byaruhanga and Kelvin Brown are not in a cell, but with District Police Commander to make statements.

Panic in Uganda as army releases video showcasing special weapons and tactics ahead of elections (Youtube-Clip)
“The Uganda People’s Defense Forces have released a video showcasing their special weapons and tactics. The video titled “The Uganda Peoples Defense Forces, special forces command” details the training that the men in uniform go through to qualify to be in this special unit which is also responsible to protect the head of state, President Yoweri Museveni” (KTN News, 2016).
Chameleone is lost on his Leone Island; 2 days ago had good discipline as a tax-payer; today victim of not paying tax; time to take the boat from the Leone Island to reality

Something doesn’t seem to connect right with this big-man of a musician. It’s not often I comment on the matter of musicians anymore, since they don’t act as foolish as the politicians now a-days, but today Jose Chameleone has decided to act strange and fictional in days apart. Let me explain in his owns words.
What you should also know that for 90 days he has been paid UGX 5m. Quick fix will make 40×5 is UGX 200m. And if he was on a 100 campaigns for NRM he was paid UGX 500m. That tells whey he should have extra pocket money right now, plus the monies he earned for studio-time recording “Tubonga Naawe” as a gig-song for the NRM party. First it is from a entertainment outlet with the initial start of the campaigns for the musicians, after that his words.
On the 17th October of 2015:
“Gives Shs 400 M to Musicians @ #‘TubongaNaawe’Launch A number of Ugandan musicians last evening stormed Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo where they had been invited to dine with President Museveni at the launch of the “Tumbonge Naawe” project. The artistes who attended the launch include Pallaso, Bebe Cool, Dr. Jose Chameleone, Kinga Saha, Mun-G, Gravity Omutujju, Comedian Ann Kansiime and Fashionista Brian Ahumuza commonly known as Abryans among others who were all clad in yellow, the color for the National Resistance Movement” (…)”The President also offered the artistes UGX 400M as a token of appreciation for their support” (Entertainment World, 17.10.2015).
Here it is his own words recently!
On the 3rd February of 2016:
“Don’t stay home waiting for Heavens to find you in your sitting room discussing other people achievements because Miracles came like that in Jesus’s time!!!! We are a generation where nothing like stones turns to bread.Young people should wise up and work so hard so their sweat bears fruits now!!!
Forget the #NIKEAIRMAGS
Thanks to the Almighty God.

“CHAMELEONE INVESTMENTS”
Good Financial Discipline from a dedicated Ugandan Tax Payer 😊
LEONE ISLAND TUGENDE TUKOLE”

On the 5th February of 2016:
“I have tried to air my concern about how short our peoples memory is and many have looked at it as a point worthless. The same people who wrote the story when I was inconvenienced by Uganda Revenue Authority Upon Tax are back again to use their words to disrupt peace within fellow comrades!!!! I simply stated that I am a dedicated Tax Payer and didn’t call no ones name. We need to preserve respect for one another. Don’t create Gaps between Artistes in Favour of your own interests.
However,We have all been Victims of Tax Payment!
LEONE ISLAND MUSIC EMPIRE”

This here tell the different between the ordinary and musicians, musicians can earn quick money, but not think about the tax man, while spending millions on sneakers and house. Why didn’t you check about the money and tax for your car Dr. Jose Chameleone?
How are you the victim when you earn so much more monies then the average Ugandan, easily a 500m shilling in 90 days, and President Museveni has hold over 200 campaign rallies, so his sum could be even double, nearly tripled in that sense. But with the average one, he has earned a fortune on the campaign trail. That is why I can afford lots of new fancy house and shoes. While not notifying or securing the payment through his accountant, would that be to hard for you? That I am saying since you can afford so much other stuff without thinking. Peace.
Campaign Poster Fun: “If Aliens Attack, I am ready!”

Favourite political slogan is from LCV Woman Councillor at Makerere University, Doreen Nyanjura aka “The Iron Lady” that says: “If Aliens attack, I am ready!”. I’m used to special policy or political lingo, but science fiction is new! Hope you win by the way and use that iron to beat the crap out of the aliens, that are coming your way. Hope you learned som tricks either from the recent Star Wars movie or Will Smith in the Independence Day. I am sure the Presidential Speech, that’s in Independence Day can inspire you to gain voters.
Let me take a outake of that speech from Independence Day:
“Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind; that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: ‘We will not go quietly into the night!’ ‘We will not vanish without a fight!’ ‘We’re going to live on!’ ‘We’re going to survive!’ Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”.
I think that is enough. Peace.
Press Release: The Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control would like to inform that they are out of stock of ordinary Passports (04.02.2016)

The Calvary get’s Anti-Riot gear and vehicles right in time for the General Election; as promised in the Post-Election budget; the Calvary is getting ready to oppress the people; this as the Kenyan media addressed the arrival of APC’s at the Port of Mombasa

There been reports of the new equipment arrived just before the General Election, the Police was expected this. I will come with quotes that tell what is expected if the Uganda Police Force follows it and get the equipment that was budgeted for, Take a look!!
First Allocation to the General Election:
“30% Payment for 113 operational vehicles and 40 specialized vehicles for policing the 2016 general elections under a 4year credit financing facility with effect from FY 2014/15 made” (…)”35% payment towards the supplied 2 twin engine helicopters made” (…)”Additional 112 Operational vehicles, 46 specialized vehicles and 1,900 motor cycles to support the management and provision of security for 2016 National General Elections procured” (Budget Framework Paper, P: 19).
The budget for vehicles is 62,539,322 UGX. For the helicopter engines are 9,641,658 UGX. But the money is in the allocation in that part of the budget framework. We know that this part is not the main part that matters, but it still is money for it. There is more important what comes here!
Post-Election Police Budget:
“Policing the post 2016 general elections (Shs 51.1bn)” (…)”The experience is that after elections there is always a spate of violence which normally takes a big chunk of police budget to contain. During that time, every police officer gets out of the barracks to the field to ensure law and order. The operational budget covers feeding, consumables, fuel, maintenance of vehicles & equipment, training and intelligence gathering. This requires additional budget of Shs 51.1bn” (Budget Framework Paper, P: 22).
So I am sure the cars seen on the docks in Mombasa in Kenya that are procured for the Ugandan Police Force, was used under the budget are for the Post-Election, because the 60M UGX is not getting the Police Force far. So it must be additional budget that they got; which is substantial allocation for buying equipment, vehicles and training. So I am sure a hunch of that went to the new expensive mambas and Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).

Kenyan media see the imported cars at Mombasa docks today:
“Uganda has imported armoured police cars, similar to those Kenya acquired at the end of January, ahead of its general election set for February 18. The vehicles have features including water cannons, riot controls and wedged front plows. The Star spotted them at G-section in the Port of Mombasa but Kenya Ports Authority officials declined to comment on the “sensitive” matter” (Elkana, 2016).
This here was to be expected, IGP Kale Kayihura wants to make the bloody mess of “Walk to Work” again, and has put money where his mouth is. Or the expensive big-man security vehicles that has the capacity to shut down demonstrations. They will continue to oppress the public in the name of the National Resistance Movement, and his boss Mzee! As he speaks of violence and expected that he needs big guns to shut down opposition as he has done in the past. This here is just a manifestation of it.
I think you catch my drift and assessment of the actions of the police. As they are following blindly the orders of Mzee, something else IGP Kayihura recently said, he speaks peace right now as long the election observation monitoring (EOM) are in the country. So that when they leave: he will go full-front against the opposition as he and his crew in the Police has done so much in the past. So I have hard time believe the peace rhetoric of Kayihura, it’s kind of hard to believe from him and his loyal cronies. Before I go to deep, I stop here. Peace.
