After 34 years in power, Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan ruler's list of victims is extremely long. Ugandans know who systematically kills anyone that attempts to bring change in Uganda. Using his intelligence agencies, the 33 year long rule is trigger-happy; it deals with all its challengers with bullets. Here is a partial list of victims of assassinations carried out by the Uganda regime: [ 4,779 more words ]

By Charles Kamya Ssentamu The fights between President Museveni and Members of Parliament over UGx20 billion has been taking different shapes with the former expressing worries over legislators’ decision to allocate themselves the money. However, UGx20 billion is nothing to split the Executive and the Legislature compared to other sagas that have clouded the two entities.

Our collective strength against this novel disease depends on our level mindedness, organisation and compassion, among other strengths.

By Edith Wandera “If you were poor before Covid-19 but you were eating, continue eating what you were eating, we shall deal with your issues of poverty later,” Museveni told Ugandans during his latest address on the Coronavirus crisis on Tuesday. The statement left many Ugandans outraged, but it was not a complete surprise to them. It was simply another view of the naked greed, social dysfunction, misery and arrogant misuse of delegated power that they have suffered since the delusional president first announced a lockdown on the country two weeks ago.

The unfolding fracas in the fight against Coronavirus has prompted Dr. Kiza Besigye to pose the question: "What’s wrong with our leaders?" Besigye's loss of patience and subsequent outcry came after two particularly disturbing headlines in the media: MPs awarding themselves 10b from the COVID-19 budget and COVID-19 frontline medical practitioners going without pay. The embattled former presidential candidate Besigye's question was fundamentally rhetoric, because he has known Museveni and his cronies to be corrupt to the core. [ 248 more words ]

When our Sabarwanyi Museveni, during one of his lowrated COVID-19 TV addresses, announced that his government would start relief food distribution to the most vulnerable Ugandans, those watching almost choked with laughter. You see, Ugandans have become accustomed to the fact that when Museveni tends towards compassion, something is about to go wrong. Hence, when he mention free food distribution, Ugandans who were already nursing injuries sustained from merciless clobbering by a combined force of the UPDF, UPF and LDU under the guise of enforcing Museveni's COVID-19 control directives, exchanged knowing looks.

Finally, someone has confirmed the suspicions of many who have been following the trend of Uganda's rather dramatic fight against Coronavirus That senile Museveni decided to turn the pandemic into a convenient avenue to score political mileage is not surprising. What is baffling to many is the fact that Museveni and his incompetent thieving cronies went as far as manipulating data so as to maintain their delusional stature of a government, that has immense experience in fighting epidemics and pandemics (Although they have always dodged the question why they don’t want to be known as the government that has successfully fought pandemics and epidemics from coming to Uganda instead, since a prevention hero is always more glorified than a cure hero).

As he grows old and frail, paranoid Museveni is degenerating into an absolute tyrant and man eater

Things are falling apart. Senile Museveni is now like the serpent that turns to its own hatchings for nourishment. The man is posessed without doubt and whatever has taken control of him has turned him into a vampire that is devouring anything and everything that crosses his way.

While Ugandans have completely locked themselves in their shacks, fearing to even peek through a hole for fear of the terror on the streets, perpetrated by Museveni’s combined brainwashed forces of UPDF, UPF and LDU; Museveni has embarked on his next target- his own longtime army comrades.

Before the dust even settles after he pounced on his former spy chief, Gen. Henry Tumukunde who is languishing behind bars, Museveni has descended on his next victim. Gen. Kasirye Gwanga was picked by military police and taken to Mbuya barracks for detention.

But what makes the whole saga scary is the fact that the UPDF spokesperson, not knowing that his Kasirye Gwanga had pulled a fast one on them and contacted media, denied the fact that the retired Eloquent UPDF general was actually in detention. In Karemire’s spin to the media who contacted him, he categorically denied the allegations as pure lies, and offered that Kasirye Gwanga had instead been admitted for medical reasons at the Mbuya senior officers’ Diagnostic Centre.

What made it even more suspicious and ominous, is the fact that the UPDF spokesperson’s order of events was being contradicted by none other than SoftPower, the online tabloid dedicated to sanitise Museveni’s goofs.

Political observers are stating that Museveni, who has never posessed the credentials of a politically upright leader, is showing sings of degenerating into an absolute and open tyrant. They opin that as he grows old and frail both physically and mentally, Museveni is gettting dangerously paranoid, hence his recent Machiavellian conduct.

Even with a major crisis on his hands, Museveni will not wake from his dreamland

By Edith Wandera

In the Kate Falawo Zone in Kampala’s Kawempe Division, a young woman had to endure a terrifying night with her dead roommate. Locked down and fearful of running into the marauding gangs of trigger-happy army patrols, she had watched helplessly as life slowly sapped out of her roommate during the night of 02 April. As her friend’s temperature soared, she desperately called all the public helplines to try and secure permission to transport the sick woman to a health facility.

None of the Resident City Commissioners for her area responded to the S.O.S. Even after daybreak on, 3 April, she was left stranded for hours with her friend’s co**se in the single room rental in one of the many poverty-stricken areas of Kampala.

The deceased was just the latest statistic on the growing list of Ugandans – including the pregnant and critically sick – who have fallen victim of President Museveni’s chaotic efforts to stop the Coronavirus pandemic from spreading beyond the four dozen active cases that had been confirmed by 03 April.

Yet if he needed anything to rouse him from his fantasyland, the Covid-19 crisis should be the perfect opportunity to jolt Museveni from any illusions about the competences of Uganda as a state he runs. As he tried to marshal a response to the crisis, it soon dawned on him that the state did not even have a functional ambulance service. Despite having nearly a 5000-strong fleet of vehicles, a good number of them high end 4X4’s, Uganda’s health ministry cannot count even 150 ambulances among them.

The country’s health system is completely broken. So much so that acts like one politician importing a 30-year old van from Japan and converting it into an ambulance, emblazoned with the donating politician’s portrait, are accepted. Even though the politician’s main motivation is maintaining voter loyalty.

Uganda descended into chaos within days of Museveni ordering a lockdown. Gangs of thugs masquerading as COVID-19 vigilantes took over poor neighborhoods, beating and stealing from helpless residents as police looked on. Returning citizens that were forced into quarantine quickly became a lucrative racket for civil servants, security officials and hotel owners.

They were ripping off people that were forced into ramshackle accommodations, forcing them to fork out US$ 1400 per head for the two-week quarantine period. Yet, it was said, the state had actually paid for the facilities. As privileged officials enjoyed show time posturing on national television and working out huge budgets for the Coronavirus response, unprotected workers were running away from patients.

A donation of protective gear by Chinese billionaire Jack Ma which arrived in the country has disappeared as if into thin air, as officials put in budgets for a response. Health Ministry sources that preferred anonymity to talk safely said big, NRM-connected officials within the Ministry are already making a killing selling Jack Ma’s donation underground.

For Museveni and his henchmen, the COVID-19 pandemic is just another opportunity to ‘eat’. On Tuesday, finance minister Matia Kasaija tabled a Ushs 302 billion request for “supplementary expenditure”. Legislators threw it out because it was conveniently scanty on detail.

For instance the Health Ministry, which has put the cost of a single COVID-19 test at US$ 65, was seeking Ushs 82 billion without a breakdown of what the money was going to be used for. Even more inexplicably the Ministry of Defense was seeking Ushs 81.5 billion. Meanwhile the Prime minister’s office wanted 39 billion shillings “for emergency support for 1.5 million vulnerable people in Greater Kampala.”
Museveni’s orders have become a problem; most times not making sense even to himself. Security officers are not looking at the lockdown within the context of the law but rather in terms of Museveni the person. Hence a violator is not guilty of breaching the law but rather ‘disobeying the President.’

Yet Museveni is unbothered by all this and instead appears to be enjoying the show, turning up on TV every other day to give “further guidance” that have quickly descended into a farce. A salient feature of these live briefings, which look more like mini-cabinet meetings, is the lack of team effort and structured thought processes.

The president is throwing orders about with little input from his cabinet. For instance, his idea of putting his political representatives – the Resident District Commissioners or RDC’s – in charge of approving movement for emergency cases is not working. It only is adding to the chaos. Yet Museveni won’t relent.

On the other hand Museveni’s idea of health emergencies appears to be limited to snakebites and cardiac arrest. In the circumstances, a mother in labor whom anybody with two eyes should be able to see as being in labor; or an asthmatic in distress, cannot move from their residence to a hospital without a permit.

Also in a society that has long lost any memory of personal integrity, Museveni is telling residents to depend on commercial motorcycle riders to shop everyday necessities for them. A clip that has been circulating on social media shows one such “boda” man siphoning a good measure of rice from a bag before making the delivery.

What is clear is that the plight of ordinary Ugandans is far from Museveni’s mind.
If he ever thinks about them, it is how to beat them into further submission should the crisis deepen.
This is evident from his reliance on violent suppression, rather than a humanitarian response to the health scare.

statement released by the Uganda Police Force, signed by Fred Enanga on behalf of the joint security taskforce spokespersons states that the leadership of both the UPDF and UPF strongly condemns gross acts of misconduct by their officers who, instead of protecting the constitutional and civil rights of citizens, violated them with the excessive use of force. It is apparent that the statement is a solicited effort aimed at sanitising forces whose gross misconduct during the implementation of the Presidential directive removed any benefit of doubt over their already shaky integrity.
