“Greetings. Although busy celebrating Maama’s 76th birthday, I am also fully in the war against obwiibi (theft) of government money, obutagambirwa (not listening to guidance) and okweragyiira, okwetuminkiriza (doing things that are not agreed upon)” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (24.06.2024).
There was days when the sort of intellectual spirit and gravitas of His Excellency could inspire people. It was a time when that brought hope of a better future and another tomorrow. However, those days are long lost and people are yawning. People are tired of it and they know it isn’t legit.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni have no backbone, no urgency and no need to uproot the evils of corruption. If he did… it wouldn’t be as prevalent and as common as it is. The practice and usage of it within his government is obvious. He is even using it and expanding his cronyism over it. Therefore, he cannot combat something that gives his Presidency life.
That’s why a statement like the ones published today is just futile. There is nothing there. Just like the 2 hour long speeches and metaphorical makings of directives through letters to his Ministers. They look good on paper and possibly sounds good, but regardless of that… it won’t go anywhere and we know it.
Just read these quotes from the statement, before I finish this off with a little rant after it…
“In the NRM time, we went back to the old system of the Civil service based on merit through competitive examinations by the Public Service Commission. That is why we never bothered with corruption for a long time, knowing that there are capable People handling money, personnel and procurement. We now know that many of them have let us down. We shall, therefore, have to work with victims of this corruption and some patriots to crush this betrayal. Are the patriots there? Yes. Where is the proof? The 20,000 fighters that attacked Kampala on the 22nd to the 26th of January, 1986, were mainly patriots. Otherwise, why would they do what they did without pay?” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
“Nevertheless, it is possible to crush corruption through the alliance of patriots (I count myself as one of them) and the victims, the masses. The masses can be encountered in the village barazas, etc. The patriots are to be found in the political leadership, some public servants, the churches, etc.
Corruption is diverting a lot of money that could develop the country. IGG estimates Ug. Sh.10 trillion per year!!” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
“Therefore, the thieves are parasites that must be stamped out, and the indisciplined are saboteurs of our fast development and must also be stopped” (Museveni, 24.06.2024).
One that never gets to old is the usage of the beginning of time or the essence of this Presidency. The time-frame and the need to go all the way back to the bush or the early stages of being a Head of State. That’s the prime and the moment of glory. When he won and took power from others. That’s what we need to salute and he ended everything. Created everything and made it his. Alas, that is part of the problem too.
Everything is encircling the President and his nearest associates. The government is based on his blessing and the representatives are all awaiting his verdict on any matter. They need his guidance and wisdom before doing anything. That’s why the rotten core and the foundation of the state is corruptible. Since the President acknowledge and doesn’t address the issue properly. He see it as a way of getting all ends to meet. The President benefits and enriches himself of it. That’s why he needs his underlings to partake and eat too.
He can promise to crash, destroy and annihilate the corrupt as much as he wants to. Use slurs and be vindictive in nature. However, we know that won’t happen and the ones in high power won’t be touched. Neither will the closest allies or the ones serving him. There will be some small fishes taken and some might have to fall on the sword for a minute, but they will be released soon or not even properly scorned even. That’s what he does to the Ministers who are loyal and who took what wasn’t theirs. Nevertheless, they will be off the hook and able to serve another day.
That’s why you know the Statement is useless. It is so abundantly clear. No matter what dogma or ideals he uses. It won’t matter at all. The President only does this to get headlines and act like he has a oversight over it. However, we know he won’t do a thing and this gig is up. Peace.


“The biggest problem we have now is corruption. This corruption is not happening on the moon, it’s happening in the district, sub-county, and constituency. I have opened a war on the corrupt, so, make sure that you are not in my gun sight. We cannot let our people down” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 20.06.2024).
We have heard the “A Luta Continua” from the ones who fight the good fight and for liberation. This phrase is well known and a part of social fabric by now. It is used as a term and a we know it for a reason.
Now in 2024 after all the years in power. The usage is losing meaning, and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) cannot use this sincerely. “The Struggle Continues” aren’t what the NRM and the State House works on.
No, the NRM and the State House is busy looting. They are continuing the looting of the state reserves. The loot is vital and important for the government. The Government of Uganda and the regime itself thrives on the siphoned funds, corruption and graft.
President Museveni can act like it is just some small cases, but it is a system at this point. The grease that builds and destroys. The means to an end is the envelopes, the service awards, and presidential handshakes. That’s what is happening, and we have seen it happening for years.
Yes Ssebo, we know the drill and the modus operandi. If there is a wheeler-dealer and a foreign investor around. He or she has to visit the State House and get connected correctly. Just so the kickbacks and everything can circulate in the right direction.
The NRM and the government is so close to be run like a racket. They are saying they are cracking down on a racket within the Ministry of Finance, but certainly it is deeper than that. Because MPs are finding ways to eat. Cabinet Ministers are misusing their offices and suddenly government services are taken for granted. There are just such a vast enterprise of actions…
Museveni can act like he wants to fight it and stop the practice of corruption. Nevertheless, that would kill his government. He would stop the initiative and the means to his end. He corrupts the high-ranking officials and that way they will be loyal to him. They are getting ill gotten gains, but at the same time they have to be loyal to the President. He says nothing and acts like nothing. As long as they serve his purpose and does what he wants. They vote for his acts and budget posts, which enriches himself too. Therefore, it is a system created to eat and don’t care about the government services.
I have totally given up on the idea that Mzee or Museveni ever wants to resolve or chase the ones participating in these sorts of practices. That would mean he would dissolve government and revoke the whole Parliament too. He had to so destroy and deplete his whole system. Because none of the mechanisms and organizations that he has built is doing anything substantial either. It is more just busy-bodies and ability to hire cronies in privileged offices. However, they don’t have to do anything and challenge anyone of prominence.
That’s why we have seen it all and heard it all. The President can speak like he cares, but his inaction speaks much more. We have been here before…
So before we think he would do anything… 40 years in power and it is just a part of life now. It is what Museveni, and his cronies has created. It is a beast they have fed over the years and now it’s fat. Peace.

““If we punish all the corrupt, whom shall we work with?” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (06.06.2024).
Here we go again…
Another year, another shilling. Aye?
President Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni coming with lectures of historical matters. Where he speaks of his generational leaders, which he happened to meet at a long forgotten age. At a speech and ceremony that is more pompous and more procedural than anything. With the withering years. The gravitas and the worthy of it falls apart too. Because, nothing is legit or sincere about it.
The President comes with statistics, records and numbers, which makes everything sounds supreme. While the citizen doesn’t feel that way. Neither is there anywhere near any sort of flimsy hope that he will deliver anything substantial. The mood is grim and the tiredness of the regime is overshadowing it. The lies are in the open and the truth isn’t what the President is saying. His speaking poetically about the past and about pan-africanism, but his actions speaks otherwise; and we know it…
The main thing about the speech this year is the Parliament Exhibition and the open Grand Corruption of his government. The President comes with no substantial answer or response to it. Just more empty words and word-salads that isn’t worthy of a articulate response. Just more of the same hogwash and empty threats, which is worthless in the grand scheme of things. We know the corrupt in his proximity gets of the hook anyway and lives to see another day. So, who is he kidding here?
“I have been hearing stories that there is a racket from the Ministry of Finance to Parliament. I have been hearing but now I have proof. They work with accounting officers from different ministries to come to parliament to ask for certain funds and then they share the money. For sure the corrupt don’t know how strong we are, we are patient but if you make a mistake, you will see”(Museveni, 06.06.2024)
“Public servants and political leaders that steal Government money are corrupt and will be crushed. There are, however, other actors, that get bribes from foreigners to work for foreign interests. These are both corrupt and traitors and we are monitoring their activities. If they do not stop; and with evidence, we shall deal with them. As part of fighting corruption, it is crucial to save the amateurish political actors who come into politics without knowing that leading people does not mean carrying them on your head. It means that you show them the way. The situation of the inexperienced, careerist minded leaders who do not listen to the advice of the NRM, is further complicated by the blood thirsty parasites in the form of the unregulated money lenders who charge extortionate interest rates from these desperate political actors when they come to borrow money for unuseful expenditures” (Museveni, 06.06.2024).
He can act like we don’t know. The President acts like the public don’t know or see how he operates from the State House. This is his government and the manners of how he runs his organization. It is his appointees and people he has entrusted with offices. They are all surrounding him and he accepts this sort of behaviour. He thrives in it and the misuse of office is common practice. Therefore, we know the gist and the deal.
President Museveni cannot combat something that gives him leverage and the upper-hand on his cronies. He uses their greed and nepotism for his advantage, as he prolongs his stay in office. While he has corrupt officials that he can grease the wheels for and get loyalty from. They are willing to serve him because he ensures that they can eat. Regardless of the method or way they did it. As long as everyone is happy and gets their cut.
That’s why the State of the Nation in 2024 was useless. He didn’t really address anything sincere. We have heard some parts of this speech before and its tiring. Peace.

““Several speakers have mentioned the issue of corruption. I concur that it is becoming a significant problem in the country, and I will discuss it in detail during my State of the Nation address.” – President Museveni (Uganda Broadcasting Company, 03.06.2024).
The battle against corruption, graft, state capture and grand corruption is a fake one in the Republic. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni isn’t really interested in ending corruption in the Republic. If that was the case… the NRM and Museveni has had decades to make amends and change the pattern.
The Government of Uganda could have made a difference and clearly envisioned things differently. The NRM and the President has made this system and modus operandi for a reason. This is his government and how he runs the state. Museveni can act like he don’t know, but he knows how things are juiced or ensured people are loyal surrounding him. Therefore, the State House and the regime knows what make people tick and keep them compromised by him.
President Museveni has created so many agencies and state organizations fighting corruption. Nevertheless, it never helps when he supports “Presidential Handshakes” or fraudulent tenders with kickbacks. A President who micro-manages and partake in government business. A head of state that interferes in the running of minor transactions and has a say in benign affairs. That’s why we know he knows everything and directs people.
That’s why another discussion or a launch of an anti-corruption drive is pointless. He has the FIA, OAG, IGG, PPDA, State House Unit and whatnot that’s supposed to do their job. All of these are supposed to find and ensure the government is “clean”. However, there is only small figures who are captured, but the big-men are off the hook. They are only letting people fall in the headlines, but isn’t punished or having any punitive actions against them. Therefore, it is hard to believe the President wants a change or do something about it.
The corruption and the misuse of office is a key component of this government. It is what gives the President leverage and compromise the ones around him. That’s how he will keep people close and know how he can capture them. They need the financial incentive and this gives him power over them. That’s how they will be in his mercy and be his cadres. That’s why he has built the system around this ethos and his proud of it too.
The day corruption dies and is impossible. That is the day Museveni and the NRM are on its deathbed. To many people are feeding of the same hand and they cannot bite it off. Peace.

“As the government Agency mandated to protect life and property, keep law and order, the police management has decided to halt any further consultative activities of NUP as a party with immediate effect until this matter is conclusively investigated and resolved. We appeal to the public to remain vigilant, observe law and order. Whoever acts contrary to public order and safety shall be held accountable under the laws of Uganda. The safety of Ugandans will always remain our priority” (Uganda Police Force – ‘POLICE HALTS NUP CONSULTATIVE ACTIVITIES AFTER DEADLY TRAFFIC INCIDENT’ 31.05.2024).
The National Unity Platform (NUP) are a target and can do no wrong. There is no place they can move or have ability to mobilize their party. The authority and law enforcement will be used against them. There will be any sort excuse to block them or do it for their own “benefit”. Even if they cannot get into their own headquarters or new party offices. Therefore, we know the gig…
It isn’t long ago that the second round of the national mobilization tour started. That was postponed and stopped, because the authorities didn’t allow the NUP to get to Palisa district. This is why this is nothing new.
Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine and the NUP is aimed at. They are popular and are able energize the population. That’s why the state and the authorities are doing what they can to silence them. The NUP is just stopped in their tracks and not able to assemble. That’s the gist here and what the state tries to do.
So, after the NUP continued the Nationwide Mobilization Tour, they were able to visit Mukono and Masaka. Nevertheless, that’s where it stopped and now they are blocked again. This time because of an accident on the roads to Masaka. There was so many people showing up and being a part of mobilization tour. The NUP party couldn’t have a control of them or knowing what they were up too. So, now the authorities is using their actions and what they possibly did as a reason to block them from working as a national party.
This sort of act and reasons wouldn’t be used against the National Resistance Movement or anyone in close association of the NRM. If the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU) had such acts in near proximity… it would have no consequence and be hoodlum with no connection who did it. Therefore, we know the double-standard and the usage of any sort of ill-will to stop the NUP from trying to be relevant.
The NRM and the authorities wants the NUP to be a party of the HQ and not a nationwide party. They are trying to silence and stop it from mobilizing the public. That’s what they are doing and it isn’t brilliant either. They are just continuing the same technique and misuse of power. As they are using the law enforcement to interfere in the political sphere. The UPF is now deciding and telling when a party can engage and work as a nationwide party. That’s not up to the police. The Police should shield and safeguard the party. They shouldn’t be there as a stumbling block and a power of interfering in their work. However, we know what the UPF does and what the rest of the authorities does.
The NUP and Bobi Wine has guns surrounding them. The state are aiming at them and never looking sideways. They are anticipating and trying to make them illegal. That’s what they are doing and it isn’t even done that clever. The NUP has legal rights to operate and be a political party. However, the state… is doing what it can block, silence and … won’t do them any favours.
It shouldn’t be like this… but this isn’t anything new. There is nothing new under sun and the NUP is getting the treatment that FDC and Besigye used to get back in the day. Peace.

The well-known journalist and cum-politician, Agnes Nandutu isn’t someone that we would think become the centrepiece of stories, but that’s where we are. Her actions since 2020 has been spectacular and the fall been massive.
She went into the Primaries of the National Resistance Movement as a new flag-bearer and up-coming MP. Nevertheless, inside the NRM they wanted another person to represent the constituency. Alas, she defied the orders of the State House and the President and ran as an Independent candidate for Womans MP for the same Bududa district. In the General Election of 2021 she won the seat and was elected into the 11th Parliament on her first try.
That’s sound like a journey of failure and victory. She was resilient and NRM leaning. That’s why it was natural that the President could appoint her to Higher Offices. So after the elections and with a new cabinet in 2021, she was appointed to the role of Minister of State, Office of Karamoja. By this time it seemed like the sky was the limit.
The former journalist had within a short amount of time became both MP and a Minister. That’s a jump and created a prominent space in the Republic. This is what could have been a trip from the sarcastic remarks of “Point Blank” unto the role of a Minister. Everyone isn’t built for that and it’s proven she wasn’t prepared for what was coming.
Nandutu went into hot-water. The state was already using weapons and having operations of the army in Karamoja. There was questionable activity and lack of service delivery in the Karamoja sub-region. She couldn’t take that and the hunger of the region was also hurting her pride. As she was supposed to be glorified and celebrated for her rise to power.
Now in 2024, she has gotten sanctions from both the United Kingdom and United States of America. That’s all for participating in the thievery of iron-sheets destined for the Karamoja sub-region, which she was a minister over. She destroyed her reputation, career and her name over petty thieving.
Nandutu has lost her Ministry and lost her name. She is forever implicated in the graft and the corruption, which resided in her ministry. That’s why she cannot travel or be capable of residing in these nations. It must cost to see herself and her name in big letters in notifications of foreign government entities. That they are mentioning you and your actions. This got to sting your pride and lose your cool.
I’m sure she is okay with the earnings as an MP. That must be better than what she earned as a journalist. The “Point Blank” era will forever linger and the choices after is just abysmal. Nandutu cannot save herself or her grace.
The former Minister and journalist cannot revive her name. The iron-sheets and the misuse of office will follow her for life. She is known for this now. Just like others are known for Santana’s and GAVI-funds. Nandutu will be known for participating in taking mabaati without proper justification.
This is who Nandutu is and it won’t be forgotten. The U.S. and UK is even agreeing in their actions. They are designating the same sort of actions and it shows that they are going after the culprits. It is telling that it is happening from afar and not from the Courts of Kampala. No, it has to be foreign entities who keeps the high ranking officials accountable. Because, the President and his allies won’t… Peace.

“I have always said that I have a permanent passport to Bukedea and Buyende district. I don’t need a visa. So, honorable members, you need to be very firm and fight for your position. Just imagine it is your kid who is being sodomized. I have interacted [with some officials] and we have gotten to know what the sanctions are about. At an appropriate time, the Head of State will also respond to it because it is an indictment on the Parliament of Uganda” (…) “These sanctions are politically-motivated. I am carrying a cross for the 48 million Ugandans because of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill we passed in this House. This may not be the only ban. Another one will come in the pretext of corruption and [many] others but we serve a living God. We will always not allow bum shafters in Uganda” – Speaker Anita Among (03.05.2024)
There is always a test and political leverage at stake. Speaker Anita Among has been lucky and able to gain lots of capital and wealth over a short amount of time. She is living a lavish lifestyle and serving the regime on her own accord.
Now a leaked letter shows that the Speaker is tested by the President. Museveni is now asking if she owns a certain property in London, United Kingdom. This comes after the British Government sanctioned the speaker over corruption. She herself and her publicity team claims it is “LGBTQ” reasons for this, but that hasn’t been proven by anyone.
Alas, the property in London is now questioned. The idea that she has spent her ill-gotten wealth on investing in the United Kingdom. A place where the Speaker doesn’t even have a cat. Now the Head of State has responded, but also is addressing her directly. That means the “flat” or property in London is a contested entity.
Now the powerful speaker has to speak out and address the allegation. This is checking and balancing act for the speaker. As she has to follow the codes and the ideals of the Head of State. She is serving him and knows what she has to do. This cannot be played in the papers or on social media. No, this has to be directly answered and with evidence.
President Museveni wants the truth and honest fact in the matter. It isn’t a good look to have a high ranking official sanctioned. Neither is it helpful to the cause that she has a connection or an option of a house or a flat in London. That means she might had a a plan or a vision for exile or immigrate to the United Kingdom in the future. You don’t know property or a flat without plans of using it.
Yes, she has the mansion and posh vehicles in Uganda. Nevertheless, who doesn’t want the NHS and other government services that the United Kingdom has to offer. Who wouldn’t right?
The social media response from the Speaker is telling: “Indeed, like the known principle of natural justice recognized in most jurisdictions of the Commonwealth (including Britain), the one who alleges must prove. Since the UK government claims I own property, it should be prudent of them to state which property I own as Anita Annet Among. Forgery should be the least the world can expect from them. I am sure this is the answer my President, our government, and myself want from them. Nothing else. The alleged house plot, Flat 4, Silk House, 7 Waterden Road, London, E20 3AL, United Kingdom, which they informed the President is owned by myself, surely has an owner who is registered in their own system (the UK Government), and this owner, as per their own record, is not Anita Among” (Anita Among, 29.05.2024).
It is hard to believe at this point. The President wouldn’t write a letter with a significant address in London without any intelligence or sort of evidence of his own. The Speaker trying to get public confidence, but what she does need is the trust of the President. Peace.
