Justice Forum (JEEMA): Democratic Alliance (DA) Coordination Team (15.03.2025)

Opinion: Is the UPDF Act even “active” or is it just “guidance”

40. Agreement relating to deployment of troops outside Uganda

Where troops are to be deployed outside Uganda under a multilateral or bilateral arrangement with other countries, the Minister shall enter into an agreement, in this section referred to as a Status of Forces Agreement with the host country or organisation” (UPDF Act, 2005).

The UPDF acted decisively on the request of the government of South Sudan to avert a dangerously developing situation and deployed forces accordingly. This action is also in the interest of regional security. The Hon Minister of Defence is never involved in the operational matters of UPDF. His job is simply to represent us in Parliament” (…) “The Hon. Minister will in due course be brought up to speed with the relevant details of our role in the fast unfolding security situation of our crucial ally and northern neighbor. It was important for the UPDF to act with expediency to contain the situation” (Col. Chris Magezi, 12.03.2025).

There is a need for clarification and a need for enlightenment in regards to the Uganda People’s Defence Force and the Uganda People’s Defence Force Act of 2005. As the UPDF Act, which we know seems to be long lost file. An ancient scroll and a relief of the past. Why do I say that in 2025?

Well, no one adheres to it and abides by it. The texts and the laws that is coded in the UPDF Act is meaningless and pointless. The Commander of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga is living beyond its merits and we know others are toying around with it to. Now ones of their own is saying the Minister of Defence is just a puppet and a face of the UPDF. Not that he has any sort of role or oversight. Meanwhile, the Article 40 of the UPDF Act says he does has power and influence over the army itself. Therefore, something got to give.

This here all steams over the “Silent Guardian” Operation in South Sudan that came into force earlier this week. That was never announced or was informed. Neither was there any revelation or any sort of publication. Seemingly, the Minister of Defence got the news as the General tweeted about the matter the other day. Just like the rest of us. Meanwhile, we know his supposed to go into an agreement with the respective nation. Alas, that never happened and the CDF or the High Command did so without his knowledge. That shows the institutions and personification of state is the most valuable assets of Republic.

The Minister of Defence is bound by law to have a say in an Operation of the UPDF. The deployment is supposed to go by him and an agreement shall be entered by him. So, this Colonel clearly haven’t read the UPDF Act or think it is a worthless document. We know the General thinks so and he is spitting on it on a regular basis. Now the UPDF just shows lawfulness and righteousness is beneath the army.

The National Army has other structures and command, which are more supreme than the UPDF Act. That’s why the Minister is just a mere representative and not a head of sorts. No, the civilian in the Parliament aren’t supposed to dictate or any word in it. However, the UPDF act says he “shall enter into an agreement”. That’s where the problem is and where the UPDF is failing at its core. They are just showing how they disregard code and protocol, by jumping over the Minister and mocking his role.

We are all seeing it and the display isn’t even that wise about it either. It is a forewarning about the consolidation of power and what a few heads are allowed to do. As they are not following print or procedure. They only acts on whims and instinct. These people cannot even address the matters or adhere to laws binding them. That’s why people should be worried. When the army is acting above it all and thinks it is justified to be so. That’s memo here.

The gist isn’t any good, but a compelling one regardless, as we all see what they do. The UPDF Act is history and it has been made irrelevant in front of our eyes. Peace.

Opinion: Will the DP surprise us again and become the “Bad DP” or what?

1. *The Democratic Party hereby disassociates itself* from the content and letter of the said cooperation agreement.

2. *We pledge to champion dialogue and cooperation* involving all political players and entities in Uganda, with the aim of promoting the common good, addressing matters of national interest, and upholding the principles of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. This should be through a well structured arrangement.

3. *We reaffirm our commitment* to the principles of social justice, equality, and human rights, and to the promotion of the interests of the marginalized and oppressed.

Therefore, let it be resolved that the agreement signed on 20th July 2022 hereinafter referred to as the Co-operation Agreement is henseforth terminated by the National Council sitting at Soroti, this 7th day of March, 2025.

Moved by; Deogratious Kiyingi Gonzaga – Deputy National Treasurer” (Resolution of the National Council of the Democratic Party, 07.03.2025).

This has been a slow train coming, there been Members of Parliament who wanted the Cooperation Agreement gone with the National Resistance Movement (NRM). The Democratic Party has fallen over this and become more weaker. As there is no trust in its agency or its mission either. The fallout of MPs and the MPs decisions to pick other parties has been rampant of late. Therefore, the value of DP has fallen and significantly so.

Yesterday’s act and review of the Cooperation Agreement between the DP and NRM is just telling. That the DP is done and dusted. This is just telling that Norbert Mao and Dr. Gerald Sirinda sold the party short for personal gains. Mao became Minister and Sirinda became a EALA MP. That is beneficial for them both and was an easy trade for them.

Is this a short-lived “No Surprises” agreement that just happens to be finalized and closed ahead of the 2026 General Elections?

We know the likes of Richard Lumu MP didn’t want this to begin with and he fought from the sidelines. He also seconded the resolution that is in question. It just shows how the party operates and how slow the leadership acts on the others participation. As we know how they called Mao into question and even how he accepted the agreement without prior knowledge of the rest of the party. That was the trade-off for a Ministerial Post and EALA MP slot.

Norbert Mao is tainted and so is the party. They cannot revise the history now. We have seen how Mao talked about a transition and a need for change, but he started to work for the President directly. There been no change in the Judiciary and neither has there been any reforms to speak off. No, Mao has delivered no punches or no surprises as Minister. President Museveni must be happy for this cheap bounty.

This seems like an easy gambit ahead of the 2026 polls. A way of deferring from the NRM and become Opposition just ahead of the General Election. That’s what it looks like and maybe the DP will join the Holy Alliance or whatnot. Because, what else does the party have?

Not like Mao has a voice of reason or is a likeable fella. No, Mao has sold it off and leased its future. Unless, he entrusts someone else with Party Presidency and retires from office too. That’s what is needed to revive this party and build from the ground up. Now the party is known for being like a mango. Green on the outside, but yellow on the inside. That’s not a good look, but the fate that befell it.

If there is time for surprises or revival… that is another matter. Peace.

No cows for the FDC: Arrested and stopped from gathering in Soroti

“FDC President Eng. Patrick Oboi Amuriat and MPs from Teso, including Hon. Alobo Joan, Hon. Jonathan Ebwaru, and other Party leaders, have been arrested and whisked away from Soroti City. Their whereabouts and the reasons for their arrest remain unknown” (Forum for Democratic Change, 07.03.2025).

“FDC supporters are gathering at the party offices in Soroti City ahead of regional prayers at Soroti Independence Gardens this afternoon. Meanwhile, military and police have already deployed at the venue” (NTV Uganda, 07.03.2025).

“Security operatives have arrested FDC president Patrick Amuriat, MP Joan Alobo, and several other party members as they gathered along the city’s main road. The group was preparing to launch the “No Cows, No Votes” campaign before being intercepted” (Teso Vibez, 07.03.2025).

The fallen Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) was today put into spotlight in Soroti, as it was planned to launch the “No Cow, No Vote” in Soroti and do so at the Independence Gardens. This was scheduled to happen later today and the invitation to happen on the 3rd March 2025.

So, today the leadership of FDC was taken into custody and the rally in Soroti isn’t happening. That is just a mere fact, as the bodas was surrounding the FDC Offices earlier in the day. However, that is long gone now.

The FDC came with a follow up statement:

“We demand the immediate and unconditional release of FDC President Eng. Patrick Oboi Amuriat, Hon. Alobo Joan, Hon. Jonathan Ebwaru, and other Party leaders including Isaac Asaku, Soroti City West FDC Chairperson, Mary Goretti Atemo, FDC aspirant for Kumi Woman MP and Sam Acaitum who were arrested this morning. The police must disclose their whereabouts immediately. If they have committed any offense, they should be presented before the courts of law, not subjected to arbitrary detention” (FDC, 07.03.2025).

Nothing of this is new for the FDC. The FDC has been here before. Amuriat has been barefoot before too. This time he has his shoes on. We haven’t heard anything from the authorities or seen anything else happening after the arrests earlier in the day.

Some says this is scripted, maybe like Norbert Mao drinking soda at a Police Station during the previous campaign period before the General Elections. The same is felt and so are the comments on the arrests. Therefore, the FDC aren’t getting much traction or sympathy here.

Alas, the FDC is now in trouble, and it isn’t trustworthy. That’s why Amuriat and the FDC leaders must prove it. Its wrong that they get arrested for starting a campaign and spreading a message, but there is a reason for the questions about the narratives spoken about. This is why the FDC is failing.

Some is saying it is even a diversion, as the FDC party is expected to lose big in the Kawempe North By-Election. These arrests and this campaign can overshadow that. Nevertheless, being opposition and being “not NRM” still costs in the Republic.

We can just wonder if the FDC ever will be revived, but the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF) have taken the wind from FDC. That is clear and the ghost of Besigye is haunting Amuriat. He cannot run away from it and neither the dirty money either. This is why the FDC party has lost relevance. These sorts of stunts won’t save it either…

The impunity and injustice are wrong, but you can wonder what game Amuriat and his fellow comrades is aiming for. Peace.

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.

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.

Opinion: A Mass Exodus of FDC MPs to the NRM

This is the start of election season and preparations for the 2026 General Elections. That’s why a year in advance people and leaders are positioning themselves ahead of the polls. This is clearly what is happening with several Members of Parliament (MPs) who are now shifting allegiance.

We are seeing the likes of Anthony Akol (Kilak North), Emmanuel Ongiertho (Jonam County), former FDC MP (now independent, ) Martin Ojara Mapenduzi (Gulu West –  Bardege-Layibi Division), Abdu Kantuntu (Bugweri County) and Moses Okot P’Bitek (Kioga County).

This is 5 former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) MPs who has now chosen to be part of the National Resistance Movement (NRM). They are going from being in opposition to be part of the ruling regime. These MPs are directly selling their party affiliation to be another yellow one.

The Northern part of the FDC is in shambles, the FDC Najjanakumbi should feel the pinch here. As the leverage of the party and the lack of chief whip keeping people behind the banner. They are losing their leaders and known MPs who has represented the party. This will marginalize and weaken the FDC ahead of the 2026. In addition, with all who are leaving because of Besigye and his allies in the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF). Therefore, the FDC is getting even weaker now.

The FDC itself isn’t recognisable anymore, but regardless of that… they are falling even further and the FDC leaders are so easily poached by the NRM. Maybe there isn’t much difference between the current day FDC and the NRM. That’s why they shift parties and get it easier to get re-elected in 2026. Because they know the shambles the FDC is in and how the party has navigated itself. Therefore, for their own benefits and futures are more sealed elsewhere.

This got to hurt the leadership of the FDC. The FDC MPs of the Greater North is fleeing the party and seeking shelter under the banner of the ruling regime. Other stalwarts and such are picking it too. They see greener and better pastures in the NRM. That is compelling and telling of the losses of the FDC.

The leaders of the FDC should be worried, as their strength and numbers are dwindling. They aren’t getting into a better place ahead of the 2026. This party is losing a little by little. This story is far from over. There will be more tales ahead of the General Elections. 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.
