Uganda Medical Association (UMA): Prisoner Health Rights Violation – Press Release (07.03.2025)

Dr. Kizza Besigye returned to Nakawa Court [after being behind bars for 109 days on the 7th March 2025 without a proper trial or due process]

“Armed Counter Terrorism  Policemen have been deployed inside Nakawa Court where Dr Kizza Besigye and his Co accused are expected this morning to be informed on the progress of investigations into treason charges against them” (Uganda Radio Network, 07.03.2025).

“On March 07, 2025, the State filed a motion in Uganda’s Chief Magistrate’s Court at Nakawa, seeking permission to access and analyze electronic data from mobile phones seized from opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye as part of an ongoing investigation” (Voice of Life FM 100.9, 07.03.2025).

“Dr. Kizza Besigye today in Nakawa Magistrate Court for hearings of his Bail application But Court has adjourned his case till the 28th of March for the next sitting” (Notifier Media, 07.03.2025).

Today the state just prolonged the agony and will continue to do so. Dr. Kizza Besigye and associates aren’t released on bond or bail. The state continues to prosecute and investigate the case, but not processing anything or proving any alleged criminal conspiracy in regard to the people who are charged.

Just like the charges changed between the General Court Martial and the Nakawa Court. We are now seeing the state changing their ways too. As they are not only putting him behind bars on remand. They will keep him detained without any sentencing or proved his guilt. No, the state will have kept him behind bars for a total of 130 days by the 28th March 2025.

Right now, he has been behind bars for 109 days and been moved between the courts. The charges changed and the chamber too. They went from illegal weapons, which the army has monopoly over to conspiring to overthrow the government. However, there is no proof of this or any of the allegations from the state. They have just charged him with treason to make the case more severe and have more excuses to keep him behind bars.

Dr. Kizza Besigye and associates shouldn’t be in this predicament, but this shows the vengeance of the state. It is going after him and signalling to the activists or opposition what can happen to them.

Besigye is an enemy of the state, and we have known this for decades now. He has gone in and out of the courts but never been sentenced or proven guilty of the criminal conspiracy pinned on him. Therefore, we shouldn’t expect that to happen now either. Peace.

Kawempe North By-Election: The main takeaways from yesterday’s plenary session in Parliament

“Every rightful thinking Ugandan is asking, how did we reach here? How did we reach where we are? What has caused this? Yesterday they showed, a lady was seated in the car, somebody jumped on top of the car and pointed the gun at the lady. The lady was saying shoot, people were surrounding the car. Who is in charge of campaigns in this country?” (…) “Minister Muhoozi, we want you to restore hope in Ugandans and say this is regrettable, we are going to do better. But according to your statement, it is as if everything is normal and what is going on is blessed because you blamed people who were arrested and you can’t even tell us those who participated in beating” (Maurice Kibalya MP, 06.03.2025).

The ones thinking there will be change is wrong. The Ministers of the Nation defended the actions of the state. They defended the brutality and the usage of force towards the citizens in Kawempe. That is the reality here…

This is why the Members of Parliament are now attacking the state and asking seriously good questions. We know the MPs won’t get an answer, as this is who the NRM is and how the state operates in a By-Election. Nothing we have seen is shocking or out of ordinary order. All of it happens for reason and that’s on orders by the state. They are coming with violence, intimidation and detaining of political affiliated civilians. They are coming with drones and coming with violent intent. That’s what we are seeing… and they cannot even defend it smoothly.

That’s why the MPs continue speak fire in the Plenary Session yesterday. Just read these quotes…

“This morning, I was on a talk show. Literally, if NRM is to get any votes in Kawempe, I want to tell you, it will be skeletal. The community is bleeding, why have we decided to militarize something which is for civilians?  What is your fear? Why have you decided to make elections appear like it is war? Do we want to take this country into anarchy? We have had enough. Media is supposed to be the fourth estate, the fourth estate has lost an eye. We can happily sit here and say, the treatment will be covered, can you imagine the pain that is in a person who has lost an eye?” (Rose Obigah (Terego DWR) MP, 06.03.2025).

“When you see events unfolding in the Kawempe by-elections, it leaves all of us in a bad situation. When the issue was put for Government to come and explain, I am deeply surprised that the Minister has chosen to tell what everybody wishes to hear, he has said the intent of the law and aspirations of every Uganda. What is at stake now is that there is the Joint Anti-Terrorist Task Force of Uganda (JATT) that is responsible to crack terrorism and after the official campaign exercise was announced, Government chose to deploy the JATT Force. Why? Minister, you could tell the country who deployed and why?” (Theodore Ssekikubo, 06.03.2025).

We are seeing how the MPs are addressing this, but this is how the state defends its actions. As it is accustomed too.

Just read David Muhoozi’s statement yesterday:

“Those arrested are accused of various breaches of the law including the alleged illegal use of military gear by some of them. Charges known to the law will be preferred for the courts to determine their cases. In addition, working with the military and other security agencies, it will be proposed to publish for information, their gazetted uniforms, as well as other gear which are ordinarily the preserve of official uniformed forces. Also, working with the Electoral Commission, guidance will be given to all the players regarding lawfully permissible conduct during this exercise” (David Muhoozi, 06.03.2025).

It is so predictable, that they are saying this and stopping the National Unity Platform (NUP) this way, but it doesn’t go after the yellow when they wear regalia or similar outfits in yellow. Therefore, we know this is deliberate and an attack on the association with the NUP. There is nothing else to this.

The Kawempe North By-Election is just a proof of how the NRM will operate and run the General Election in 2026. That’s what the authorities and the state will do. This is who the NRM are, and we see the vicious violence that appears at every election cycle. It never happens close to the state party or associates, but the opposition get the pinch. Every single time. They have excuses for it and will stifle their movements but accepts whatever the NRM does. That’s who they are, and we know the drill. Peace.

Kawempe North By-Election: The Media and the NUP hit by the JAT operation in this by-election

“Police have defended the presence of the Joint Anti-Terrorist Task Force (JAT) in Kawempe, describing it as a legally established security unit. Spokesperson Rusoke Kituuma advised those questioning JAT’s actions to seek legal redress. This follows the forceful detention of Elias Nalukoola shortly after his nomination” (NTV Uganda, 03.03.2025).

“Our own news reporter, Steven Mbidde, was seen being attacked by men in uniform earlier this morning as he attempted to speak to David Lewis Rubongoya at Wandegeya Police Station, where some of the arrested NUP supporters were being held after yesterday’s raid” (NTV Uganda, 04.03.2024).

“The National Unity Platform supporters who were brutally arrested yesterday from a political rally in Kawempe are set to charged in court at Kawempe Magistrate’s court. We strongly condemn election-related violence and abuse of civil rights in Uganda” (Freedom Hive Uganda, 04.03.2025).

This is just too common and to established by the authorities. The Uganda Police Force and JAT are active. They are able and allowed to set a precedence in the by-elections. This is the foreplay to the General Elections in 2026. The ones believing it will be better and freer are wrong. The state is showing force now and telling the public what it thinks of them.

That the authorities are using violence, usage of live-bullets and tear-gas, in addition to arresting, kidnapping and even detaining people for political affiliation. That is what the state does and does so to intimidate. They are targeting the National Unity Platform (NUP). This isn’t happening to the other political parties or their supporters or activists. That is visible for the naked eye.

This By-Election won’t be remembered for the political messaging or the stature of the candidates. No, this election is marred with state sponsored violence. The state is on high alert and made the By-Election a warzone, as we anticipated. The NUP is the target and being in association of the party is endangering for a civilian. Any citizen who are part of it or participate with the NUP. They should be aware that the state is aiming at them and they could become victims of the state oppression for doing so.

Citizen are being taken into custody and detained for their political affiliation. The media is hit and feeling a pinch following up or monitoring the acts of the state. Instead of letting people assemble and being free to associate with whoever. They are now going against the ones who dares to participate and be a part of the NUP in Kawempe North By-Election. That is the reality here…

We are seeing UPF and JAT misusing their power… and the people are the victims of their orders and active operation within the period of campaign period. That is clear here and we see the wounds, the damage and the suffering they are committed to give the people of Kawempe. Peace.

Opinion: Is the Habeas Corpus Principle dying the Republic? [Another horrific Singiza judgment]

Judges in this country do not so to speak enjoy a ‘floating power’ to hear and determine any disputes anywhere wherever they occur. It would amount to judicial chaos and blunder were any judge to sit and hear any disputes brought to him or her without checking first whether there would be a better suited high court division or circuit to do so in the first place as is the case in the motion before me” (Justice Dr Douglas Karekona Singiza, 03.03.2025).

Today’s judgment by Justice Douglas Singiza in regard to the case of Attorney Eron Kiiza is telling. It is a story that needs to be shed light on. As his another fellow civilian that is lingering between the Courts and is on remand in Prison, because they captured in the General Court Martial and charged him there. He was there as counsel of Dr. Kizza Besigye and became a “criminal” for doing so.

This case is just further proof of misuse of authority and the instruments of the state. They are playing ping-pong with lives and take the citizens hostage. These people are detained without proper trials or even concerns about the allegations pinned on the civilians. They are victims of circumstances and association. That’s it.

Meanwhile the likes of the Judge wonders why people don’t have kind words for him. Well, his use of power and office is why they don’t like him. His a man of the President and the Authorities, his not a man of the people or serving the general public at large. No, he serve the interests of the state and the will of being used as a tool of oppression.

Just read this court decision!

I take the firm view that the procedure adopted by the applicant to challenge the impugned

conviction and sentence was an incorrect one. I would probably have attempted to answer the

motion questions had the applicant approached this court by way of an application for judicial

review. Moreover, this Court would not be clothed with the requisite criminal appellate or

revisionary powers to examine the challenged conviction and sentence by the GCM” (Justice Dr Douglas Karekona Singiza, 03.03.2025).

This judge couldn’t accept a petition of the court of Habeas Corpus, because he feels ill-suited and not fitted for it. The same man that saw it fit to send a man to prison to heal, instead of giving bonds or bails to get into hospital. This judge have no common sense or concern for fellow civilian. No, his a servant of the President and not upholding law. As he has no trouble violating the Judiciary Act, and especially the article 34(b), which states this:

The High Court—may award a writ of habeas corpus ad test testificandum or habeas corpus ad respondendum for bringing up any prisoner detained in any prison before any court, a court-martial, an official or special referee, an arbitrator or any commissioners acting under the authority of any commission from the President for trial or, as the case may be, to be examined touching any matter to be inquired into by or pending before a court, a court-martial, an official or special referee, an arbitrator or the commissioners” (Judiciary Act, 1996).

The Court here didn’t even try to do this. It wasn’t even bothered to do so. This just shows that the Judiciary Act is a worthless piece of paper. Just like so many other laws and texts, which should be guided and studied in the Republic. These are becoming wasted ink and time, as they are not adhered to and not valued by the rulers. The rule of law is dying when judges can do this technicalities and use their office for such rulings. This isn’t upholding the law or concerned about justification for a person being incarcerated. No, this is just making excuses and uses the courts as a mechanisms to keep people detained. That’s done without proper procedure or justification to do so.

Attorney Eron Kiiza deserves better, but so does anyone who is moved from the General Court Martial to a civilian court. They all deserve better and the judges should be worried about the aftermath of all of this. As they will be remembered for the henchmen of the state. That’s what they are and this sort of judgment proves it. Peace.

Kawempe North By-Election: The Security Agencies targets the By-Election

“Security operatives got into a confrontation with National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters during Elias Nalukoola’s campaign drive moments ago in Kawempe” (Patro Uganda, 03.03.2025).

“The NRM aspirant for Kawempe North, Faridah Nambi has unveiled a list of programmes she plans to implement for her constituents if elected to parliament. Nambi said her manifesto prioritizes lobbying funds to empower women and youths who she says are suffering most due to the prevailing economic hardships as a result of lack of jobs” (NRM Party, 03.03.2025).

“The Archbishop of Kampala, Paul Ssemogerere, has criticized the government and law enforcement agencies for resorting to violence against opposition politicians and the public during the nomination process for the Kawempe North parliamentary seat” (Radio5 Uganda, 03.03.2025).

Today we are seeing the Warzone Aka By-Election in the Kawempe North, which is in campaign mode ahead of the 13th of March 2025 polls. The state is already besieged the area and is prepared for whatever that goes down. The authorities and the security agencies were ordered on the streets and be active.

This isn’t even about who’s the candidates or if they have the right merit to be elected. At this moment we are just seeing the system and state target the biggest opposition party. They are using drones, tear-gas and live bullets. The security organizations like Uganda Police Force and Joint Anti-Terrorist Task Force (JATT or JATF) are participate in it. These two entities are using force and being violent towards citizens and activists in this By-Election. Nothing new here, but it is shown by the videos online and pictures gone viral too.

The messaging of the candidates lose weight or meaning when people are hurt, arrested, kidnapped and possibly made into felons over participating in the by-election. The state is targeting it and using their power to intimidate, threaten and trying to silence the opposition. This is why they are targeting the NUP especially, as they know that is the biggest challenger.

It is just telling that it has come to this. The state is using force and their monopoly on violence to order it to the streets. Instead of coming with favours and giving way. They are going after the people and the citizens who happens to be there.

The Kawempe North By-Election is now marred with tear-gas, live bullets and drones. That is misuse of power and shows how they are operating. This shows how the state is willing to use force and what sort of “elections” that is going on. Those sorts of actions don’t happen when the yellow candidate is passing through the same streets. No, this happens when the reds are getting there. That’s what we see, and it is so obvious. The ones that state doesn’t fear or is worried about. This is who walks safely, but the who challenge the state is hit with blunt force. Peace.

Kawempe North By-Election: First Nomination Day turns violent…

 “Three candidates have, so far, been nominated to contest for Kawempe Division North Constituency Parliamentary seat: (Day 1).

-Hanifa Karadi Murerwa (independent)

-Luwemba Lusswa Muhammed (Independent)

-Luyimbazi Elias Nalukoola (NUP)” (97.8 Kazo FM Omushomesa, 26.02.2025).

“Mukiibi Sadat of FDC is the fourth candidate on Day 1 to be nominated by the Returning Officer to contest for Member of Parliament, Kawempe North Constituency” (The Electoral Commission, 26.02.2025).

“Kawempe North by-election: Nsereko Moses has been sent back by Electoral Commission officials after failing to provide a professional portrait for use on his campaign poster during the election period” (NTV Uganda, 26.02.2025).

“There was tension as security forces quickly arrested NUP member and Counsel Elias Luyimbaazi Nalukoola, shortly after he was nominated to contest for the Kawempe North MP seat” (Rest TV, 26.02.2025).

“NUP candidate for Kawempe North MP by-election, Elias Nalukoola has reportedly been arrested by security operatives moments after his nomination. Hours to his nomination, Mr Nalukoola told journalists that one of his agents had been abducted and his official nomination documents stolen. He’s reportedly detained at Kawempe Police Station on yet to be known charges” (Daily Monitor, 26.02.2025).

“The Speaker of Nansana Municipal Council Hamza Kasozi was brutally abducted by JATT as he attended the nomination of NUP candidate Luyimbaazi Nalukoola in the Kawempe North byelection” (Kampala Updates, 26.02.2025).

The ones believing the Kawempe North By-Election will bring any positivity and be a game changer are naïve. There isn’t any report from the Constituency or how the authorities are handling the elections. Giving me any doubts or trust in the process. This By-Election has already become a warzone. That’s on the first day of nominations and not even close to the polls.

The regime is just showing its vicious force and what it is willing to do. Just imagine that someone is arrested for becoming a candidate. The state is clearly invested in this By-Election. It is important for the state to conquer and control the narratives. That’s why they fired live bullets at journalists and brought in the guns to the start of the By-Election. The citizens and the Electoral Commission need the authorities to come with viciousness and blind violence. That’s what the state is serving them…

Just imagine someone was shot for reporting about the nominations of candidates coming to the Electoral Commission today. An agent of an candidate was arrested with the paperwork of the candidate ahead of meeting and coming to present the candidate to the Electoral Commission. That is the sort of democratic values the regime has. This is who they are and what is important is the guns, and not the people who are stepping up to represent the constituency.

This here is just showing how the NRM tends to the arms and bullets, instead of policies and caring or concern of the population. The NRM holy grail is the army and the law enforcement, as that keeps it in power. That’s why the NRM must use violence, intimidation and misuse of force towards unarmed civilians. This is the only way it can show its power and its dominance. Because it cannot show any soft power or capabilities to be an honest actor in a constituency like this.

The ones believing this By-Election will be any good. You are wrong and the first day of nominations just shows this. We are now seeing the brutality and the merciless actions of the state. That should show the bleak reality and why you cannot trust the authorities. As they are busy supressing people and silencing the ones who dares to challenge it. Therefore, we will see more violence and desperate acts of brutality, as they cannot act within reason or be sincere in their actions. This is who they are, and they are just repeating their sins. Peace.

The NRM has shown who they are [!!!]

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) have already proven who they are and what they do. There is nothing more for them to produce, deliver or even prove for that matter. The NRM is already established and a force of nature. There is nothing new under the sun and there will be no redemption of the NRM in the near forseeable future. No, there is no way that is happening.

The ones that decides to side with NRM and be candidates of the NRM. That is a choice of willing and for whatever reasons the person deems fit. However, that comes with a cost and price too. You might win an election and get into office. Nevertheless, you are running on the banner of a tyrant and therefore is a voice of the tyranny. That’s it and there is nowhere to hide that in 2025.

There is no way you can be so naive and in a bubble in 2025 that you aren’t seeing the results of the NRM. That you aren’t seeing the lack of government service and basic government policies to help the daily life of the citizens. There is so much lacking and little concern for the well being of the citizens. If it is hospitals lacking qualified personnel, medicines or working equipment. Schools that are failing and a steady rate of high drop-outs before high-school. Also, so many other issues that is causing in agony for the citizens of the state.

That is just the basics and the NRM cannot run away from it. It cannot blame the former or the predecessors for it. As it has had decades to fix it, but has deliberately neglected it in a heist and haste of quick bucks of the top. The top of the food chain and in the inner-circle are looking for the next scheme and way of earning a fortune on the behest of the population. Meanwhile, most of the population is living hand to mouth and just getting by. There is no sign of any changes and the NRM prefers the citizens to be idle and easily bought by a little bread in every campaign season. They are easy to control when their tummies are hurting and cheap to buy in the “hour of need”. Therefore, these tokens are a small costs for years of thieving, looting and depleting the state coffers for personal gratitude.

Alas, that’s the problem of NRM. Their greed and the nature of thieving. It is so common practice, that they are not even conceiting it anymore. No, they rather say it out loud and build huge mansions. Mansions that are paraded and their “donations” which should have been carried over the taxes. We know, we know, but these people rather give tokens of spoils to government services. Than actually secure government services and proper institutions, because they know they wouldn’t be eligible for office… if there was proper institutions and checks-and-balances on their operations. They would be in trouble and so would the inner-circle too.

This NRM rather wants to bury its enemies. They wants to silence them and shut them out. This NRM rather uses the security forces and law enforcement to trap, stop and annihilate the ones who dares to challenge it. That doesn’t have to be done through legal measures, but use of fear, intimidation and even up right injustice. An injustice of extra judicial killings, torture, detained without trial, unlawful arrests and detentions, abductions and prolonged prison time without due process. That’s what the NRM gives the citizens who dares to speak out or even represent the wrong party. This is their “democratic values” and their “anti-sectarian” message to the masses. If you dare to say something… someone can knock on your door.

The ones believing and supporting the NRM in 2025 are accepting these realities. As much as they are accepting the brutality and dishonesty of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU). These two are siblings or the same kin. They just have different heads, but still the same family tree. There is no difference and only their outfits leadership. The rest they could just be part of the same and be a part of the NRM-O. As PLU are running its candidates on the banner of the NRM anyway.

This is just a mere fact. An honest fact and just proven what the state does. This is their legacy and what the NRM have done. The reality is grim and the 2026 election is already upon us. As the state apparatus is going after the opposition and sending a message. That’s what his happening and we can see it all coming.

The ones trusting and allying itself with NRM. It is all on your own accord. Don’t expect to get all love and cheers. The NRM has proven who they are and what they are capable of doing. You shouldn’t expect people to be happy or cheerful. The ones siding with the NRM. They are siding with the ones who steal, deal and corrupt society. The ones siding with the NRM are accepting and allowing the violence, retribution and the complete merciless state that takes away the freedom, liberty and even for some the ability to breathe. That’s why everyone isn’t saluting or celebrating your cause. This is because so many are hurt, damaged and drained by the acts of the state. A state that should be there for them, but instead has left them behind. Meanwhile, the NRM will promise salvation, the high heavens and the bounty of eternity in the coming campaigns. They always do, but they won’t do any of it. Peace.

Opinion: Judge Singiza Karekona – when you serve injustice, expect people to call you out for it!

“I note that from the time the motion was filed and allocated to me until the point when it was heard, I was subjected to numerous attacks on social media in the form of insults and personal threats to my life and those of the people closest to me. While certain of the insults might reasonably fall under the category of fair comment and thus be tolerable, I take particular issue with some of the alleged satire in form of cartoon drawings that suggested that I was probably a Nazi judge. Untrue insinuations were also made that I was very much under the spell of powerful persons in government, an allegation that could easily bring the integrity and competency of this court into question. In many jurisdictions of the world, any depiction of an individual as a Nazi apologist is prima facie evidence of criminal prejudice. That notwithstanding, I wish to remind all those persons who vigorously trolled me as a person on different platforms, as well as via my personal email address, that courts in this country execute their judicial functions without fear or favour on the basis of the law and the evidence. It is hoped that such persons or their surrogates will reflect on their conduct and stop it” (Dr Douglas Singiza Karekona – ‘Rtd. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye & Another v Attorney General & Another (Miscellaneous Cause 31 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 29 (24 February 2025)’ 24.02.2025).

Judge, honourable and the one who presides over the chambers of the High Court – Civil Division at the Twed Tower, along Kafu Road, Nakasero. We are calling you out for your actions.

It doesn’t help that your decision in a case like this is saying that:

“Under section 56 of the Evidence Act Cap. 8, this court is enjoined to take judicial notice of the proceedings of 21 February 2025 in the Chief Magistrates Court of Nakawa at Nakawa in Criminal Case No. 285/2025, in which the applicants were formally charged in the courts of law and remanded. While the court would have wished to answer the issues raised, it would be moot for it to do so. Accordingly, the application is dismissed with no orders as to costs (Dr Douglas Singiza Karekona – ‘Rtd. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye & Another v Attorney General & Another (Miscellaneous Cause 31 of 2025) [2025] UGHCCD 29 (24 February 2025)’ 24.02.2025).

We are just seeing the judge is allowing an unlawful detention and arrest of a civilian, that being Dr. Kizza Besigye, and his associates. Judge Singiza are now allowing it to happen and legalizing the prosecution of Besigye without any merit or proof of the criminal conspiracy. They are allowing him to be held on remand and not allowing him to be released on bail.

That’s why we know the other courts changed the charges after moving his case from the General Court Martial to the Civilian Courts. As they knew if they charged him with treason, they could keep him in prison and doesn’t care about his fate as an incarcerated individual.

If the judge wanted favourable words for himself. The actions of his court and his chamber speaks for itself. The manner of which he keeps people detained and doesn’t prove the criminal conspiracy. That just shows he intends to use the instruments of the state and prolong the agony without any justification. Only allow the state to continue to incarcerate people and not prove the allegations that the criminal prosecution is pinning on the civilians. Therefore, the judge should know better, but don’t expect it. He has shown his alignment to the state and the rulers of the Republic. This isn’t an independent judiciary, but one serving the President and his fellow cadres.

Judge Singiza won’t get nice words or spoken softly about. When he orders and ensures the torment of fellow citizens. That’s not when you should expect to be praised or be named of in glory. No, that’s just making sense of things, and the judge should understand the sentiments here. However, he thinks everyone else is stupid and that his just the wisest of them all. Meanwhile, we just know his serving a purpose and a useful tool of the President. Peace.

Opinion: Mwenda’s fallacies in regard to the Besigye case

“I had restrained myself from speaking or writing about Dr. Kizza Besigye’s hunger strike and the campaign to present him as a victim of a mean and cruel dictator. I am compelled to break my silence in large part because I think Besigye’s sympathisers are hypocrites and delusional. I just saw them in court chanting that President Yoweri Museveni will die and his son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, will cry. Clearly, they know what Besigye was/is plotting. Yet they are cowards not willing to stand for their beliefs even if it means going to jail or being killed for them” (Andrew Mwenda – ‘The Last Word: On Besigye’s hunger strike’, 21.02.2025).

Akon back in the day sang a song “Sorry, Put the Blame on Me” and it’s time that this sort of statement comes from Andrew Mwenda. We know what Mwenda is in 2025. His a government hack and a propagandist.

Well, we know Mwenda hates Besigye and everything he stands for. The principled man as Besigye is in stark contrast to himself who can be bought and used by the regime. We have seen how his mind has changed and what Mwenda has become. Now we are just seeing what Mwenda is spewing of rhetoric and ideals. Therefore, Andrew is a lost cause and been so for years.

Andrew Mwenda is saying the allegations and criminal conspiracy is true. Meanwhile, the courts and the state prosecution have come with no proof, evidence or witnesses proving it. That’s why Mwenda’s implications are flawed. Because he is criminalizing Besigye before anything is proven in the courts. That’s just shows what sort of journalism his committed too. As if, the state haven’t charged Besigye with treason before and nothing come out of it. Not like the state haven’t arrested and detained him with no case ending in sentencing or possible permissible incarceration. Therefore, someone of Mwenda’s stature should know this, but instead sprints to the narrative of the state.

Just read this nonsense…

“Now that is political courage – the ability to stand for one’s beliefs no matter the consequences. But Besigye is a coward who is not willing to stick his neck out for his beliefs. Instead, he wants to hide behind legal procedures to obscure his conspiracy. If Museveni was the devil Besigye sympathisers claim he is, he would not have abducted Besigye from Kenya and brought him before the courts. Instead, he would have done to Besigye what Besigye was plotting to do to him: kill him in Kenya. Besigye supporters know, intuitively, that Museveni is humane, respects peoples’ rights and follows due process. That is why they have been using courts to shield their man from the political consequences of his decisions” (Mwenda, 21.02.2025).

He has already called fans or supporters of Besigye “die-hards” or “hoodlums”, even “radical extremists” so he has vilified the opposition supporters in general. Now he says there is lack of political courage from the ones he has said is totally wrong for years. If he wasn’t worried about these people or the ones associated with Besigye he wouldn’t have called them these names.

Secondly, has Mwenda seen how the government and authorities have acted lately? Has Mwenda seen how the state is acting towards the government through the years? I believe that Mwenda is self-medicated or become blind. His mind has become numb, and he looks away from the actions of the state. Just to be able to defend the injustice, impunity and misuse of force against civilians. Therefore, Mwenda should re-assess himself, but we know that’s too much to ask.

We know he has inner hatred of Besigye and Bobi Wine. He is just proving it here, as his on the slippery slope of accepting the devious parts of government. Mwenda rather wants to be on the side of the butchers, then on the activists and the civilians fighting for a justice and true liberation. Alas, that is too much to ask… Andrew won’t need that, as his paid in full and doesn’t need listen to the pleas of the nation. Peace.
