Museveni’s deluded mind on Civil Servants and Police Brutality!

Museveni Kenya Speech 2016

One of these days President Museveni will say something profound and deep, meaningful and deceitful, but until then he is in his ordinary bloated mood where address giant government and to many civil servants; while he defends Police officers with their brutality against the citizens both the President and the Police are supposed to secure. So the nobility and honour of state is not there. Just take a look!

“The President has subsequently tasked former Finance minister Dr Ezra Suruma to lead a study on the bloated public service and associated wage bill and recommend appropriate actions for the government to take. One of the solutions Mr Museveni proposed, according to a source that attended the Cabinet retreat that ended in Kyankwanzi last night, is to reduce the number of civil servants. Discussions at the closed-door meeting were grainy, another source said, after permanent secretaries demanded for a pay rise saying the Shs3 million salary they get is inadequate yet they hold and account for budgets running into trillions of shillings” (Mugerwa, 2016).

Uganda districts

The ironic behind this scheme to cut civil servants is the bloated Parliament with the run-of-the-mill amount of Members of Parliament and the giant Cabinet of the 2016-2021. So the amount of extra paid Government Officials at the highest institution has never been bigger than now. As well as the steady arrivals under President Museveni, that being the extended levels of newly formed districts and sub-counties all over Uganda. In 1980 the abolishment of Provinces and created into districts as there 33 districts in Uganda, by late 2010 the NRM Regime have created 111 districts. All of these created districts are getting civil servants and clerical work as due diligence and securing the districts priority and service delivery in the district.

“In July, this year, particulars of about 5,000 civil servants were deleted from the payroll in a questionable clean up exercise. There are currently some 300,000 employed, with an additional 10,830 pending validation, according to the Public Service ministry records” (Mugerwa, 2016). And there is not weird it is 300,000 civil servants in Uganda, as the bloated government institutions, commissions and institutes; together with schools and making sure the next corrupt scheme from UNRA get hidden, means that the Ugandan Government need more people to run the districts, unless they are just shells of government to create spaces to secure loyalty to NRM cronies and not be a governing facility for the territory or dominion of the locals. But that wasn’t the initial plan for all of the expansions as this was part of grand plan for local democracy and wider-building the Resistance Councils after the bush-war. But if he really plans to trim the Civil Servants, why does he right before election in 2015 adds 25 more districts, one that even his loyal saint Gen. Kahinda Otafiire doesn’t even wanted see the light of day?

UPF Brutality

So now that I have addressed his deluded mind when it comes to Civil Servants, time to take a swipe at his defense of Police Brutality:

“Where the Police are caught in some issues is mainly to do with people like Dr. Besigye. There are other opposition leaders; I have not heard them getting involved in these conflicts with the police. There are there: Cecilia Ogwal (FDC strong woman and MP for Dokolo district), people like DP’s Mao (Norbert, who is the DP party president), the UPCs and others.  The whole thing is Besigye and with his indiscipline and lawlessness” (…) “Where they demonstrating peacefully or they were violent against the Police?  If they were demonstrating peacefully and you attack them then you are not doing your role. But if they were violent against the Police—throwing stones, then the Police will have to react. And one way of non-lethal reacting is what they call baton-charge. This is provided for in the Police Act” (Lamu, 2016).

M7 01.08.2016

What is deluded now? It is that the Besigye by-passers are apparently violent and therefore deserve to be directly punished from the Police Officers with sticks. The issues are that most of them are an ordinary civilian who shows up when the car of FDC’s leader Dr. Kizza Besigye passes by. So by-passers and people’ on the sidewalk are determined to be punished.

What is justice of being a random by-passer to a car with a political opposition and therefore as waving to the noble politician you are quickly harassed and beaten with batons. That President Museveni blames Besigye right away without any checks of the footage or video of it that proves the malicious attempts of injustice done by the officers. Then claiming to be using violence against the police officers… That is just preposterous as this is civilians without any malicious intent. Therefore the grand scheme of things is just like Ntungamo-Clashes where the NRM and Police were not guilty, but the men of Amama Mbabazi and his Go-Forward. Therefore all violence is always other people’s fault. Just like all post-election violence in Kasese and Rwenzori sub-region was deemed to be stronghearted individuals even if the Flying-Squad and Police Officers shot at Rwenzururu Kingdoms Royal Guards in the villages or at the Royal Palace. So the defense of the Police comes out of the mouth from their master, President Museveni! Who defends the Police Officers and blames to citizens who cheers the opposition. This proves the malice intent of the President and silence the public for their appreciation of the Opposition. Think about that for a minute, right? Peace.

Besigye makes appearance at High Court as part of bail requirements (Youtube-Clip)

“Crowds followed the Former FDC presidential candidate Dr. Kiiza Besigye shortly after reporting to the High-court’s Criminal Division to fulfill one of the conditions court set for his bail on release.
This is the first time Besigye is reporting back before the court’s deputy Registrar since his release on bail on the 12th of this month by Highcourt Judge Masalu Musene” (NTV Uganda, 2016)

Hon. Kyeyune blames defiance; I blame lack of governance for frustrated investors!

Kapwocha FDC 080116 P1

Well, it is one of these days where the NRM-Regime continues to pound on the Forum for Democratic Change and their Defiance campaign. It’s like the Resistance Movement having a hard time settling in as the 10th Parliament. Mzee must be so darn proud of loyal subjects who attacks Besigye and Company without ordering it.

So here is what was been said and reported in the Daily Monitor today:

“The State Minister for Microfinance, Mr Haruna Kyeyune, has expressed displeasure at the ongoing defiance campaign by the Opposition, saying it could stand in the way of government’s planned 2020 middle-income dream” (…) “You can then pick it up from there, because it frustrates investors,” (Emwamu, 2016).

With all that in mind, let’s be clear the FDC are not the main reason for lack of investors or investors fleeing. They are not the ones with guns, ammunition or tear-gas. That is the Government, the NRM-Regime and their security outfits. Therefore the stalemate is mostly created by the Uganda Police and the UPDF for their disregard for the citizens.

Hon. Kyeyune blames the other party because that is the easy way out and it shows loyalty to his boss. While doing so he is washing the hands of blood and the tears, so they are clean even though they never will be. As the government doesn’t wish accountability or transparent policies either with Electoral Law and organizations. Neither with security or economy. With that in mind, the Government themselves are hurting prospect of business, as the investors have to facilitate with government officials with secret deals behind closed doors; instead of transactions though open business. That is what is hurting the investments, together with uncertain currency, levels of inflation and the steady growth of government loans. That together is creating a fragile economic outlook that worries a fellow investor. But the easy way out is to blame Dr. Kizza Besigye and his DMC. Eh! What else Hon. Kyeyune, is it the ‘rollex’ fault that there are potholes at Kalerwe, Kampala?

Peace.

Documents: Makindye Court has summoned IGP Kayihura and his accomplices in crimes of Torture against humanity to appear in court on 10th August 2016 (21.07.2016)

Déjà Vu’: The Kampala Metropolitan Police doesn’t have common sense when it comes to Besigye!

Besigye 25.07.2016 P2

It’s is a déjà vu’ for Dr. Kizza Besigye today as he must have felt it, yet again entering Makindye Court to answer yet another case in-front of another judge; The Judge must really like Posho, because the charge was soft and gooey. Even ACP Polly Namaye claimed the infamous law Public Order Management Act on the detaining and stopping Besigye from attending the Tuesday Prayer at Najjankumbi Headquarters in Kampala on the 4th April 2016.

As the Police at that time called it a planned procession through Metropolitan Kampala as he was driving from Kasangati through the town. That day he was planning to cross Mulago toward the Central Kampala, but as Police Commanders under orders of Kampala Metropolitan Commander Andrew Felix Kaweesi. Then his car was whisked away as he was taken to Old Kiira Road Police Station. This was as he had disobeyed Police Orders at a Roundabout towards Kalerwe not far from Mulago. So the Police had already decided to detain him!

Besigye Jinja Road 25.07.2016

Now today he entered the Makindye Court together with Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago at his side, to address the court of the unlawful behavior and disobeying police orders in April 2016. Apparently the earlier trial dates are showing that the Government defense of the case was manufactured and wasn’t clear. As the State-Witness on the 22nd May when addressing the court was even contradicting himself and wasn’t really saying anything considerate about the case. For instance at one second he was a higher level officer in the Army before becoming Police, later he countered that statement with saying he never we’re in the Army. If that is the truth than he had a hard time becoming an officer in the army, when he never was there! Therefore the evidence of the crime we’re properly dismissed at Makindye on the 25th July 2016. This proves that the Police Force and Government have wasted lots of time creating issues instead of actually governing.

So the continued aggression from the state came quickly as the word of the dismissal and public walked and greeted Besigye in the Central of Kampala. This was not accepted by the government and Police. The Police still under Andrew Felix Kaweesi, had to silence the brief greeting the public. As the “procession” made-up by random people and supporters shows the popularity of the FDC leader.

Therefore today’s activity from the Metropolitan Police must feel back to the normal as he quickly from leaving the Makindye Court we’re taken to Jinja Road Police Station; while he car we’re towed away from the place in town he we’re picked-up by the Police. So the reality is that the Police is creating a problem; instead of erasing problems. They claimed his car was shoddy and a DMC or a Defect Automobile (Dangerous Mechanical Condition). So the White Toyota Land Cruiser been the criminal passing town and apparently the driver or driven by Besigye. So they couldn’t charge him with procession, I am sure the Police Officer wasn’t sure how to write that; as the Police Officers have written that wrong before.

Besigye 25.07.2016 Jinja Road

At the Jinja Road Police Station the detained politician and arch-nemesis of Museveni, Besigye we’re spending time with loyal allies in Lord Mayor Lukwago, Wafula Oguttu, Hon Amuriat, Hon. Geoffrey Ekanya and Ingrid Turinawe. As he we’re also collecting his statement on disobeying police orders, while his car we’re lucky to be claimed to be a DMC, while the footage on NBS and NTV of the matter shows the “damage” is fiction from the Police Officers to find reasons to detain him again and create new possible trial dates to stop him from attending and questioning the rule of law in the Nation.

So the phony and laughable perfect IGP Kayihura has yet another question about the man so-called fighting him. As he under his leadership tormenting Besigye another day at one of his Police Stations in the Central Uganda; one of the Police Stations Besigye knows well. Surely one of the places he should have wall where he could use chalk to imprint how many times he has been detained there. So IGP Kayihura must be proud of Commander Kaweesi for yet another time finding a solution to silence Besigye, with the charge of DMC. The car that the Police have broken before in 2016 to tear-gas the ones sitting in the car! Did you forget that, yes you did; and at one point Kayihura even promised a new car to Besigye, like that would happen?

Besigye 25.07.2016

Well, let’s be clear, this a phony charge, in the levels of impunity of the Calvary, the Kifeesi Police who has respect and want’s to silence the opposition with the detention of vocal opposition and men of defiance against the status quo of those who are dropping funds after NRM Cronies in scam-bailouts. That is the ones that are detained today and the conflict of justice for all is not there; it is only justice for elite and the men kissing Mzee’s ring. The rest can end-up behind bars, beaten by the police or shedding tears after shooting at the public with teargas.

This will continue as the NRM-Regime cannot help them, they are on sail-boat at the middle of sea, far from land without any wind and trying to find oars to row into land; but they are hidden behind deck and the Mzee doesn’t seem to know because his vision doesn’t say so. Therefore the men who are lost at sea are waiting for accurate statement and direction to the oars while the problem of no wind let them left at sea instead of getting into shade at the harbor. Peace.
