Kadaga Criticizes Museveni’s Closure of Makerere University (Youtube-Clip)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y14WKXKo3cw

“The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Alitwala has criticized a decision by President Yoweri Museveni to indefinitely close Makerere University without consulting other stakeholders. Kadaga is concerned that the closure has affected various other institutions utilizing the university’s services especially health centers.
Kadaga’s remarks come after the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Health Dr. Michael Bukenya informed parliament on the worrying state of Kawempe Hospital where over 15 new born babies are dying daily as a result of the medical interns leaving their posts in the wake of the University’s closure” (NTV Uganda, 2016)

Opinion: Post-Kiggundu – The brutal truth about the new Electoral Commission in Uganda

Uganda EC Wall

No matter who get appointed or picked as long as the His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is in charge and the Commander in Chief. So as long as he is there, his decrees and orders will matter. So the results and the final say are in the hands of the President. He will not care what the locals of Karamoja votes or the ones in Mbarara, what matters is what is needed for the Movement and in the end him!

The Electoral Commission under the Dr. Badru Kiggundu has been a useful tool for the regime. He has used all kind of ways to get the results that we’re needed. Also all kind of explanation to avoid the reasoning or even trying to shuffle the defence as the relevant laws to sustain the needed excuse to exhaust the courts. This has been done as the Opposition has questioned the legality and the just behaviour of the Electoral Commission.

The all of sudden 100% in counties, the ghost voters, the unregistered voters showing up and the moving of place of voting for the citizens, the lack of delivery of ballots and equipment to key areas. This has been tactics as well as fixing the elections into the schedule of the Movement. Free and fair was never important for the President as long as his loyal men and woman we’re plated and sent to Parliament. Or his loyal men and woman elected through the Resistance Councils and the Local Government positions as Local Councillors and such.

This will not change as the appropriate men and woman is not in circle of the new Electoral Commission. The cleared name from the President is more loyal men and woman who want to eat of the Presidents hand. They want to eat and are hungry like the rest of the MPs who has cars and no income tax. The same level is what the EC commissioner’s wants and therefore wants to be hired. So they can live in mansions and have government perks that citizens don’t get.

ec-appointment-14-11-2016

So no matter who is put up in the Movement and who they want to appoint will be working for the President and his elite. The regime will not change their pattern even if Badru Kiggundu is out of the picture. Will just be a new face that will eat the same level of crap.

The reality is that the names put forward now by the President is his loyal cadres, they are not bi-partisan or even becoming of people who the citizens can trust. That is for the same reason as the ones before, they will be the loyalists for the pay-check of the President; they will not be there for people. They are just useful props for the President to get his fake-elections and votes when needed, but not something he cares deeply about. If he did he would have set in place systems where the people wasn’t starving and had water-irrigation to secure the harvest even in dry season. He has 30 years, but hasn’t left much behind because what he has is fragmented and eaten by his ego. Therefore the EC will be marked of his loyalist, not of the ones who is best for nation, but who is the best for the “only man with a vision”. Peace.

Kizza Besigye’s document on Police ‘Acknowledgement of Prisoner’s Property’ (16.11.2016)

Besigye tear-gassed and still arrested at Kiira Road Police Station!

besigye-16-11-2016-p3

As he earlier in the day left the Nakawa Magistrate Court and drove further down Gyaza Road, the Police incepted him as the crowds around his. As usual the Police starting towing the White Van from the area and unto the compound of the Kiira Road Police Station. Something that has dozen times in past and not the first, nor the last time Dr. Kizza Besigye, the nemesis of Museveni will end there.

So the Kampala Metropolitan Police has decided to let him be in his cars for ours. Not allowed to leave it or let anybody see him. As the Police Officers in and around their compound has tear-gassed the area. Which means that they have tear-gassed Dr. Kizza Besigye and the people around the Police Station. This all has happen without any indication of the crime or reason for the day’s arrest of Besigye. Another proof of the ignorant belligerent Police Force currently working under President Museveni.

Stop the Police Brutality and nonsense! Peace.

Besigye again at Nakawa Court pending the Treason Charge; later in the day detained at Kiira Road as well!

besigye-16-11-2016

The nonsense courtship of Dr. Kizza Besigye continues as he was towed from Uganda House to the Courtroom, because valid reasoning for the Police Force at this point, is actually pointless. They just keep his house under siege and house-arrested without warrants and without fresh charges, in the view of the Political Sphere right now, Besigye is guilty for existing.

Therefore his quote in court after being charged in May 13th 2016 by the State Attorney with the Treason Charge section 23 under the Penal Code Act by the powerful D/SSP Mark Odongo of Moroto Magistrate Court. The days he we’re airlifted from Kampala in the midst of darkness while the President Museveni we’re making ready for his Swearing-In Ceremony in bliss lights of dictators at Kololo. Oh Gee, since May the Courts have bounced Besigye more around than Mario Ballotelli have scored this year in the French League.

So when Dr. Kizza Besigye says this, it’s within his right:

“Its now six months since I was arrested but up to now the state has not found the case against me, this court should have dismissed this case if it has powers to do so. I’m not coming back to this court, when they are done with the investigation they can inform me, they know my address or if they want they can arrest me and put me in until they finish their investigations” Dr. Kizza Besigye

President Museveni is now continuing his impunity towards his fellow Opposition, because he knows that he is not popular and has to silence them. The indication is from the rallies recently around up-country where the masses have showed giant support for Besigye and his struggle, which at this is all of theirs.

IGP Kale Kayihura can continue to be the laughingstock and the FBI honorary Police Officer, but his acts is vicious and show of the level of disgrace towards common-sense and justice towards a citizen, who just happen to question the legitimacy of Museveni’s overstaying Presidency.

besigye-16-11-2016-p2

As he left for his home in Kasangati, the Police Van took him to the Kiira Road Police Station, as the crowds on Gyaza Roads circulated his car. Which makes the Dictator Museveni sneeze. So the Police had to arrest him again and surely will write him off with a “Procession” charge of some kind, I guess, because that is their M.O.

Peace.

Opinion: President Museveni show’s indiscipline for not being able to facilitate remuneration for the Makerere University Staff!

“This is Kisanja Hakuna Mchezo. We are not going to tolerate this kind of indiscipline” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (NBS TV Uganda, 03.11.2016)

There are a weird day when President Museveni called the teachers or lectures has been called childish by the Executive of the proud nation, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has now called them childish as they have not been paid or gotten their deemed salaries. Not like his fellow banker friend who has by all means been bailed out by the same President.

Makerere University is an esteemed and diamond in the nation, or it was at one point as the meagre investment and expenditure used by the NRM Regime. The insulting part is that the government has diverted the funds from the University to other projects or benefactors as the loss of funds has occurred. The same as the planned earlier in the year to adopt a policy of 100% tuition fee that we’re planned in March 2016. As the lectures and teachers have now gone for 9 months without pay, without salaries! So they are for striking for their righteous pay is now “Childish”?

Mzee, the big-man, the president who has been eating of the government plate and secret deals since 1986, calls the lectures and teachers childish. Just like he called out all the other Presidential Candidates for saying they though being President we’re easy during the Second #UGDebate2016. Who forgot that, I didn’t, he uses the same rhetoric against his own civil servants, they are at blame and not his accountability. He is more precautious have two men helping his boda stable while carrying a jerry-can in Luweero. Oh, gee I went there.

“MP Onesmus Twinamastiko (Parliament Accounts Committee (PAC)): “There is a lot of rot Makerere University. Over UGX700m was illegally transferred to private accounts. Another UGX500m is unaccounted for. PAC has summoned Makerere University officials to appear on Nov 29 to explain all this. Makerere University is not explaining where money from the printery and guest house is. Individuals will be asked to repay” (NBS TV Uganda, 2016).

Just as this has happen the hostels and living quarters has been closed as well. This happen after the President Museveni order the closure of the until further notice; this is the likes of Muhika and Bridgeton Hostels has decided also to kick-out the students. This is happening J On the 2nd November his own AIGP Andrew Kaweesi said all hostels should close. Even as the students we’re not noted on the moving matters as the strikes for pay for their lectures and teachers we’re not happening anytime soon. This was the day after the IGP Kale Kayihura on the 1st November went all in and made the University look like a War-Zone.  So the Police has practically take-over of the Security Organization, while they decided to kick-out students.

So on the 3rd November President Museveni had to call them “Childish” for asking for something that is theirs. Certainly they have worked and honoured through their contracts; they are bystanders’ for the conflict of maladministration and mismanagement from the Central Leadership of the University. That is why the allocated funds have gone away into accounts that aren’t the lectures and teachers, as they we’re supposed to.

In this taunting game, the Makerere Lectures aren’t childish, but the President is, since he cannot within reason fix the ones that has either done a fraud, racket or embezzled the funds away from the Educational Institution.

Vice Chancellor Ddumba Ssentamu says “the institution doesn’t have money partly because students pay little as tuition fees“ (NBS TV Uganda, 26.10.2016). Well, if a 100% rise in a year that we’re scrapped and claiming the students are to blame for not willing to be robbed for getting a degree. Than they can be childish for that matter of paying a decent price for their intuition fees; the issues the VC should have is the funds that went into private accounts instead of paying of the staff and people working to make the Makerere what it is.

muk-strike-01-11-2016

The issue of the childish or indiscipline of Makerere comes from the top, it’s the structure he has made in his image. This is the proof of his system of constant greed and constant eating on other people work without putting effort in and hoping donors or willing investors will fix it all. That is the same way Makerere is run together with the same corrupt acts as the State House. But if the discipline is coming back with water-canons and tear-gas from the Yoda of Uganda Kayihura, than President Museveni is wrong. He has already let the facility not caring for their staff for 9 months. Not cared and not payed, not show interest in the ones actually educating the future Uganda. This proves how badly wrong the Government is run. Not only is Mulago as a hospital failure as proven over the recent months and now the second has grand issues Makerere.

The one that is the grand indiscipline walking ATM who sometimes eats of others plate, is the President Museveni who has only the Police as his friends to clear the fire. Not like he is real diplomate, he is now used to paying off men and woman as he does in the Parliament to get legislature through the Preliminary Sessions. Now, he has to fix the lacking payment of the Makerere…

It is not indiscipline or childish to react to lacking pay, it is childish to complain to the men and woman who has worked and not gotten their deserved ends. The ends never came as they we’re diverted instead of being allocated correctly. So it is time for President Museveni to go-off his boda and lead brigades with honour and bravery, actually talk and not just fire tear-gas. Firing tear-gas at innocent civilians is easy, it’s harder to negotiate with people who have already been bushwhacked; he has already stifled them and let the institution staff in the wind.

If Museveni we’re serious he wouldn’t close it, but find some of the same “Save-the-friends” of the Junta fund that he used to the bailout of Crane and all the other companies that Gen. Salim Selah is connected too. We can all wonder why he doesn’t want to give and honour the pay of his civil servants at Makerere. That shows that he is a coward who cannot talk and has to braze the gun. Peace.

Statement by the MUK Guild President on the Suspension of the Makerere University until further notice (03.11.2016)

muk-03-11

The Directive from the President of the Republic of Uganda to Close our University is greatly damaging, harmful and unbearable. The President in exercise of his powers may have not been accorded the required advise on what the consequences of his action could be. Makerere University needs to be Open

It should be noted that whenever the University Management, MUASA and Government fail to harmonize their position, it’s the Students and our Parents that suffer. We also note that these continued interruptions have now got a ripple effect towards the reputation of Makerere University globally.

As the Students Guild, we are saddened by this decision and have not agreed to it. The Directive has come with a very unbearable cost to the University, Students, our Parents and Guardians, Development Partners, Researchers and Africa as a Continent.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda Article 30 which guarantees our right to Education, We have petitioned the Minister of Education and Sports demanding immediate opening of the University to avoid gross damages to our students.

We are also seeking remedies for the damage caused to all students. Therefore we are preparing to sue all stakeholders and have them compelled to compensate Students for the damage they have suffered.

Roy SSEMBOGGA
Guild President, Makerere University.
