Opinion: Do you want to drive Tax-Free on the Toll-Road? Dip through as part of the Presidential Convoy!

“The House has passed a clause in the Road Bill, 2018 that provides for paying of road tolls. The clause provides exemption to presidential convoy, emergency vehicles like ambulances, fire engines and military, police and other security vehicles on emergency duty” (Parliament of Uganda, 14.05.2019).

Well, if you find it expensive or outrages the new toll-roads built by the government. Where the public have to pay down debts as toll to pass. Then, you have one way to get rid of that problem; this is all thanks to the gentleman and nobles at the Parliament. Yesterday, they put a clause, an exemption for the Presidential Convoy. So that the convoy doesn’t need to pay to pass on these roads.

This is opening new possibilities. So, if your driving on the Entebbe Expressway. If you have the time. Just wait until the President and his people is riding pass. So, that you can join the convoy, because who knows whose part of it or not. Especially, if you have a tinted SUV or a White/Black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. You are set for life on this place. You might never have to pay again. Because your naturally part of the Presidential Convoy. Its all magic baby.

That is the gift of the Republic, where his majesty, His Excellency, the Fountain of Honour is blessing his peasants and servants, as they should oblige and follow suit. This meaning, every time they pass by the Convoy. They should dip through traffic and pass into it. Because, no one really knows whose a part of it or not. Except for the snipers, the luggage-cars and whatnot the President needs at all time. Also, a few of his advisors, as he has over a 100 of them to pick off at any moment of time.

That is why, the new way of driving cheaper is to tax into the convoy and drive through the tolls, as that is the way of exemption. Be a leech and a smart pawn. A person who is ruthless and has the ability to blend into the long line of cars, which is all supported by several of police cars, mambas, Special Force Command and an unlucky cousin. So, in that mix, a fellow random gentleman should pass by too. In such a manner, that he also escapes the added tax on the toll roads. That is just fair game. Peace.

[Useful Tool] Kiatta went from being a Godfather to a Felon!

[On IGP Kayihura] “How? I am not a policeman. I am his friend and I can’t stand anyone who dares to get in his way” – Abdullah Kitatta

Abdallah Kitatta, the Boda Boda 2010 Association leader and former ally of ex-IGP Kale Kayihura was today charged with unlawful possessions of firearms and sentenced to 8 years and 8 months time in prison. This happen at the General Court Martial today. Over the last two days the proceedings has happen and sealed his fate, as he was arrested by CMI during last year.

Therefore, the end of the former powerful patron of the state, even the former NRM Chariman of Rugaba Division. Certainly he had power, not only over the Boda Boda 2010, but also the connections within the Uganda Police Force. He was someone to be associated with and he could get vouched for.

Kitatta was someone who you would fear and his people could get a whim of something and deal with it. They would silence someone the authorities wanted to silence. That is why his not arrested for the possible crimes committed, but having arms. Which shows that the authorities and Police Force didn’t charge him with possible crimes, but with possessions. This is really giving a lenient sentence for the former godfather and patron.

Surely, the UPF, the former IGP and the President knows this, all of them has at one point used the services of Kitatta and therefore cannot charge him for that. Since, that was done in favour of them and he cannot tell those stories now.

In by November 2015 the Boda Boda 2010 had a reputation for extortion and thieving on accord by the Police, as the dreaded offices in Makindye was known about. As the Association would take care of their own and ensure the bypassers would loose their cash and even their boda. That is the sort of racket it was. That was reported about back-then. Who knows, what its been behind, which haven’t been in the open.

In this regard, I have a feeling that the charges could have been more severe, as the actions of the Boda Boda 2010 are much worse. Still, the authorities didn’t care about that, maybe because that would cause a headache for Kayihura or Museveni who both at one point blessed this operation.

Kitatta now has to fall on his sword, the man whose fallen from grace and is now a felon. Not a godfather, not a big-man, but just a man whose facing time behind bars. 8 years to be exact. Peace.

Opinion: Jeje Odongo and the NRM is afraid of Defiance!

Not that this is news, but last go-around in the General Election of 2016. The Authorities sealed off all activities of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) and even barred it from entering its own headquarters. They even took a lot of printed materials and arrested several. Even put the defiant leader Dr. Kizza Besigye behind house-arrest for God-Knows how long without charges, warrants or a proper Court Order. This was all because of DEFIANCE.

Now, as the People’s Government and People Power Movement have joined forces to dismantle the regime. They are hurrified and need remedy. That is why the Minister of Internal Affairs Jeje Odongo have summoned all leaders of Security Organizations like ISO, UPF, UPDF, Veteran Affairs, Prisons and Attorney General to a meeting of the National Security Council discussing the matter of DEFIANCE.

This is very ironic that the NSC has to discuss this, seemingly they all are part of the Resistance or the Resistance Movement. It is such a special narrative, that keeps on giving. That the NRM are struggling to cope with the public or even especially the opposition openly being in defiance of them. They want to delegitimize the state and its activities, also block and boycott. That is what being defiant means. Certainly, this is hitting the strain, that the People Power and People’s Government have decided that this is the way. Not that its easy, but surely the State trying figure it out now.

This is a real spark and proving how powerful the acts are, especially if they are joined by all walks of life. If the public really riot, demonstrate and not caring about the tear-gas, road-blocks and the danger it causes, by assaulting the privilege and the armed regime. Because, by standing up it, it will cost, a lot and many will spend time behind bars. Even sadly loss of life, because the authorities of these regimes uses bullets to intimidate and make a point. The ones on the frontline will be touched, whether they like it or not.

So, if this DEFIANCE is real, it has to be materialized, into a collective effort. A journey of oppression, which in the end will hurt the authorities and the state. In a way, where they cannot return. That the NSC speaks of it, only proves the power of it. If it is really used as intended. Because, it doesn’t help if Bobi Wine or Besigye is defiant against the state alone, there need to be a uprising of epic proportions to shake society to its core. To make Bosco aka Jajja aka Museveni loose his cool. He has to see a revolution that will make him naked. Which will make the guns, the mambas, the tear-gas and all the things that keeps the balance out of order.

Until then, there will only be more bloodshed, more land-grabbing, more corrupt behaviour, not to talk about empty propaganda to make the Fountain of Honour look like Angel, while we know he is the devil. Peace.
