In the last few days the National Unity Platform (NUP) was blocked from having their 4 Year Anniversary at the Kololo Independence Grounds. Days later the authorities has now blocked and disengaged with the organizers of the march to Parliament on the 23rd July 2024.
All of this is happening days apart and is a part of a bigger story. A story with one main culprit and his sort of governance. That is all connected to the false liberation and the bush-war era, which is only allowing “one vision” and following the NRA Way. The ones who falls astray and goes elsewhere has to be crashed, destroyed or silenced. That’s what is the matter here…
The NUP dared to ask and hope to hold a celebration at the Kololo. The Kololo that is used for government events, the Presidential Affairs and whatever the National Resistance Movement (NRM) deems fit. That’s a place for the government, His Excellency and whoever are in association with him. Others aren’t deemed fit or only if they entertain, bring the bread and circus and goes home. That’s whose allowed there and the NUP would never bring that to the table.
The Parliament on the other hand is just totally mute. That the civilians and the citizens dared to ask this question. They are by law and by the constitution allowed to gather or even assemble in demonstrations. However, we know by the Public Order Management Act (POMA) that this has been restricted and stopped plenty of times. The state will attack it viciously and without any hesitation to answer with lethal means. That has been shown before and would happen again if the public would dare to go against the will of the authorities.
The NRM and Museveni have no interests for the NUP or the demonstrations outside the Parliament. The public are supposed to be subdued and not care. They are supposed to be happy with cents on the dollar. They are supposed to be silent and await the next dance. Not supposed to question the authorities or even speak out against that.
The President cannot have that. The state cannot accept that sort of behaviour. The citizens are just supposed to relieve themselves and be silent. Not act upon their best interests or speak. That’s who they are supposed to be. Therefore, the President and the Authorities aren’t interested in hearing their grievances. They are supposed to be beggars and be lucky for mere shillings randomly.
The lesson here is that state is a closed of scene. The ones who fights or speaks out against it will be met with force. Citizens should be allowed to carry out their duties, but we know the gist of the NRM. We know the parties are blocked and not allowed entry at certain stages. That is what is happening everywhere and it’s been going on for years.
Museveni and NRM can lie to the world, but we all know their game. They are giving no way and telling people they got the answers. There will be no celebration and the march will be shut down. The one who dares to challenge the state will suffer. The state has no issues to abduct, torture or even kill. That’s what it does…
The crickets are maybe silent, but sooner or later the truth will come out. The skeletons will be revealed. The authorities and the state cannot hide the reality forever. That’s who it is and how it operates. Peace.




“This country is looking for leaders in the coming years. It could be 2026 or beyond. They (NUP) know that in the corridors of power, my name is surfacing; those discussing politics and national leadership have my name on the front pages” – Mathias Mpuuga (July 2024)
