Opinion: Flabbergasting to know that funds used from Ministry of Works was used to print NRM Manifestos in 2016!

“Ministry of Works officials reveal to PAC that UGX47m budgeted for the roads fund was used to print NRM manifesto last year” (NBS TV Uganda, 01.03.2017).

The Yellow Movement have no nerve; they have Presidential Handshakes, buying jet-planes for the President, but not money for maintenance. They want to buy helicopters to the Speakers of the Parliament this year. But last year they impressed as well!

Hon. Monica Azuba Ntege, the Minister of the Ministry must feel stupid, as she knows perfectly well that the funds should go to transport or to roads, even gone to the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) development, even to build ports like Bukasa Port on the Lake Victoria.

That this proves something that we all have feared all along, is that the National Resistance Movement are eating of the plate of the public funds when they need. This is if the NRM needs money for gasoline or hiring buses during the campaigns they just take the unallocated salaries for teachers to that. If President Museveni needs more funds to pay musicians for campaigning for him, than going to the function where the allocated taxpayers monies we’re supposed to go.

This shows the lack of transparency and respect of the government funds when the ruling regime and ruling party uses state funds to inner-party campaigning. That NRM and their party organization used Ministry of Works funds to print NRM Manifestos for the General Election of 2016, show lack of governance and allocation procedures. We can question the oversight of the allocation of state funds that is diverted to party work.

The NRM regime is now openly telling to the world that they are misusing the funds and doing in broad daylight, during the plenary sessions on the audit of funds from former financial year of 2015/2016. The world would not be surprised if the NRM used more funds from other ministries to campaign in the recent campaign. Especially knowing that NRM and President Museveni doesn’t seem to have any care with the scrutiny or good-governance. Good governance is apparently a giant issue that will continue be hurt one for regime, because they don’t have the ability or wish to change. Since President Museveni are only focused on his own riches and own wealth, as he is not a civil servant, but his own master who controls the Republic. Peace.

Opinion: Mzee is destabilizing the DP party with civil servant appointments and with EALA nominations through the NRM!

dp-31-01-2017

We know that already that the DP Member of Parliament Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi we’re appointed by President Yoweri Museveni to become Minister for Youth in the 10th Parliament and his cabinet for the 2016-2021. She was a Democratic Party Member and Flag-Bearer for the party in the General Election of 2016.

That was earlier in 2016 that Hon. Kiyingi decided to join hands with the President and his NRM Regime. This week the DP Party has gotten more people joining hands and jumping ship from the opposition party. Not like UPC that has even an offered agreement between Akena and Museveni. Norbert Mao hasn’t been all positive towards the regime and has all rights to be so. He wasn’t even allowed to run for becoming Gulu MP in the 2016 elections.

Therefore the news that DP’s Stella Kiryowa runs for a spot on the NRM ticket for EALA there instead in her own party. She actually paid the NRM Electoral Commission Ush. 2m. on the 30th January to run there. Therefore Stella doesn’t believe on DP to manage her candidacy and even loyalty towards DP Secretariat to challenge the ruling regime and their candidates.

kezaala-baswari-plakat

She isn’t only one leaving the Party of late, even the DP Deputy Chairman, and the one in the wings of Mao. Still, Mohammed Baswaale Kezaala resigned his role on Friday 30th January as President Museveni has appointed him to become a deputy ambassador to unknown mission abroad as the DP Deputy Chairman is waiting vetting in Parliament, as the Municipal Major of Jinja is now getting ready for his new civil servant duty. This proves that yet another person goes away from the opposition party to work directly for the NRM.

This is three persons who leave the DP for roles and appointments that are close connected to the NRM. They are leaving the party that gave them a ticket and place on the political landscape, still when NRM and Museveni offers solitude and riches they leave the fold.

The folding his hands like "birdman" is Mbidde on the NRM Celebration of their 31st year in Masindi recently!
The folding his hands like “birdman” is Mbidde on the NRM Celebration of their 31st year in Masindi recently!

Even a fourth have acted questionable of late Fred Mukasa Mbidde, the legal advisor of the DP Party we’re also taking part of the 31st Celebration of the NRM party in Masindi on the 26th January 2017. Mbidde we’re part of the celebration as part of his bidding for a position and a ticket in the EALA as there is heavy completion to get places in the East African Legislative Assembly as one of 9 members from the Ugandan delegation.

This means that DP has lost two of their members for the EALA Ugandan delegation as the 3rd Assembly is soon done in EALA, which is based in Arusha, Tanzania. Therefore the honorable men and woman who left their positions to get become part of the Ugandan delegation has risked not only their career, but their whole political afterlife. Doesn’t matter how long they fought in opposition. They have themselves turned into stooges of the NRM.

This is proven with the appointments of Mbidde, Kiryowa and Kezaala; they we’re all part of DP. Mzee now plays the gift-card and the bidding to take away the trusted people of the opposition. Give them a donut and let them loose from the opposition. So they will be loyal to him, because he gave them a place and therefore they should give him loyalty.

So Norbert Mao has lost many of his members, in his close leadership and such who was vital for the DP Party, as Museveni is playing king and offering small appointments to trade their political affiliation away. Therefore being the big-man who could force them to leave the fold and become one of his for small coins of silver. The DP party is therefore forced to pick other candidates and regain trust on other levels. So with these men and woman are not enforcing and showing strength of the opposition party when leaders and MPs are showing loyalty towards Museveni and not their leader Mao. These are the proof that Museveni and NRM are using all means to silence the opposition and even taking away as many as possible from the DP to get them into a chaotic state, instead of giving them time to build a steady structure of leadership. Peace.

Museveni Debate16

“I am not an employee. I hear some people saying that I am their servant; I am not a servant of anybody. I am a freedom fighter; that is why I do what I do. I don’t do it because I am your servant; I am not your servant. I am just a freedom fighter; I am fighting for myself, for my belief; that’s how I come in. If anybody thinks you gave me a job, he is deceiving himself. I am just a freedom fighter whom you thought could help you also” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (Muzoora, 2017).

The 1986 coup d’état goes full circle; it goes into the wind, get distilled and has been repackaged more than Destiny’s Child best of hits. It’s been sold in so many ways and to so many outlets, that the stories of the battles and reasons for the coup to even happen. I hate that I have to bring up 1986 again. But it’s because the whole legacy and reason for the Presidency of Museveni, is because of his NRA/NRM battle to supremacy in the 1980s. Since Museveni wanted to be different and have a democratic government compared to the predecessors in the republic.

Still, now he sounds more like them and acts like them. He uses the military against them and uses political positions to buy of opposition and even own cronies. Museveni depletes banks and economy. Certainly, together with election rigging and having added economic interest rates, these sorts of significant outbursts prove what is wrong in the Republic.

President Museveni is now showing his true character. Museveni is saying he isn’t a civil servant. That means that he shouldn’t be the Executive, be the Commander-in-Chief or His Excellency. He should be in the bush as rebel. Not be in power and not head of government. Because government is to serve the public with the usage of taxes and using public coffers to deliver public goods and working government institutions that serves the citizens. The government is there for the citizens, not the government for the government itself.

So President Museveni can charge his guns, take his tanks and his jet-planes to scare the hell out of the public during the elections. The rigging might make the President forget his role, as if he we’re legitimately elected he might feared the public and citizens more. But when the public fear him and his guns than they don’t need to have a civil servant, however they have a thief-in-command instead.

President Museveni has invented the “Presidential Handshake” and given way to all sort of non-governance behaviour. As he has tried to get friends and culpable men in power around his neighbourhood, so he has installed and helped keeping totalitarian and despots in Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo. He has used support of guns to get Paul Kagame as President in Rwanda, sent military support after the third term fraudulent election of President Pierre Nkurunziza, also helped to elect both President Joseph Kabila in the DRC. These men have not proven that they care about democratic societies or the trust in the governance.

Not that Museveni has cared, as he put’s family and loyal cronies in all sort of government institutions, instead of getting the educated or the ones who does it as professions, with lacking level of staff, with massive amounts of ghost workers and forged spending, allocated funds misused and transaction without proof. These is ordinary after 30 years of rule, as rampant corruption, parliamentarian greed and government mismanagement. It is not strange that President Museveni isn’t an civil servant.

President Museveni is the head-crook in charge, the head thief who robs the Republic with passion and for the freedom of his family and cronies, nobody else. Peace.
