Opinion: Museveni ask his new ministers to desist from himself…









Opinion: Moses Byamugisha don’t become a punchline like Mabirizi

The ones that remember the independent Presidential Candidate Elton Joseph Mabirizi. He was a punchline and a joke during the Presidential Campaigns during the General Elections of 2016. Now, the previously trying to be a Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Moses Byamugisha. He has walked in the shadows of other leaders within the FDC, but still has a positive standing there. Worked tirelessly for the activists and youth organizations of the FDC.

Byamugisha has criss-crossed the Republic doing this. He has gone to places where people been detained for the FDC campaigning and fought to get the youths released. Therefore, he has earned his place and hasn’t come out of nowhere.

Still, he should be careful as he now ushers his Presidential Aspirations for 2021. Not because his young and such. He is already mature in the game of politics. His seen and been in the line of fire. As an FDC Official, he knows this and therefore, its daring for him to go out now. Especially, if he plans to challenge Dr. Kizza Besigye and Bobi Wine. Since, he hasn’t the flair they got. But, he got to start somewhere

We know he doesn’t have a big enough political standing in his own party, as both him and Mugisha Muntu both lost to Partick Amuriat Oboi in that election. Even though that starts to be a while ago.

I am wondering if he plans to start his own political pressure group or going independent. Since this is a daring move of him. I admire his aspiration and his will power. But this will cost him. If he makes weak statements and speeches like Mabirizi, he will be youthful punchline this election. He will be the minion fighting kings.

The ideal and will is good in itself. He has aged in politics and been an operative for long. Not like his walking into this naively or blind. Moses knows this and knows parts of this. As his seen what happens and how things are. Therefore, shouldn’t he try to associate himself with others for a while longer. Instead of throwing everything at something that is initially impossible.

It is impossible, because its not like Museveni will loose in 2021. Its not happening, because of popularity or ability to get public engaged. It is because the system is all his and all men are loyal to him. If they doesn’t praise the ground he walks on, they will not get an envelope at the end of the month. Therefore, the costs of standing is not only foolish for anyone.

If your not doing it prove the system is rigged, that you hadn’t a shot in the first place and the ones standing wants to get validated for the public. Because, the race is already closed and we knows whose winning.

That is why I wonder why a man with this potential wants to put his chips in now. He plays with likes of Besigye, Bobi Wine and Museveni. It is not like he has that standing. His more known than Mabirizi was before the campaigns. However, he still not a big-man, but one that has the potential to be there in the future.

Byamugisha, don’t become a punchline. Don’t use this platform for useless spins on social media and in the media. Your hard work and dedication to the youth over the years. Deserves much more. You could even easily run for MP and be respected without any issues in a heartbeat. Like several of the coordinators of the Activists 4 Change (A4C) did in their heyday.

Therefore, this is just me thinking, but not being negative. Just paying my respect to your actions. As you have to answer for these. Just use it wisely, we don’t want remembered like Mabirizi. Feel me? Peace.


Opinion: Rukutana inserts God instead of Guns…

I want to confirm to you that NRM is still very strong, our chairman is very strong. At age 75 what he does me Rukutana at 60 can’t do; even my friends can’t do them. Pushups he does, the walking, his brain, his thinking, his speaking. He gives a speech even if he has not written; I have moved with him many times and in many places, this man, he was given to us by God, he is a ruler of leaders”Mwesigwa Rukutana, State Minister for Labor and Industrial Relations spoke on Radio Ankole on the 3rd January 2020 (Perez Rumanzi – ‘Museveni is a super human given to us by God- Rukutana’ 05.01.2020).

It is so weird how liberation movements have to make their self-styled Presidents for Life. Give them the power of deities and the power of the Gods. That the men in and around the President have to say his supernatural, that he has forever force. Like his Darth Vader or anyone else who can feel the force. The eternal mastermind has given the President wisdom of the forefathers and so-on. There is nothing he still cannot do, even as his ageing and becoming weaker. Though his closest associates will say he can run marathon and still impregnate virgins.

That is just what it sounds to me. This is coming from a loyalist. Someone who has been close to the President over all these years. He got make President Museveni look like greatest ever setting his feet on the soil of planet earth. With the words of Rukutana, it seems like God had intervened and gave his eternal wisdom directly into the ears of Museveni. As he can naturally speak in tongue, he can reign unbound, because the deity let him.

While his saying this, President Museveni is trekking across the Luweero Triangle, where the National Resistance Army wasn’t an holy movement, neither a Godly organization, but a rebellious armed group trying to topple the government. So, that they could rule and after years in the bush with help of Libyans and others. They got the ability to topple the Military Council and let the previous masters loose power. Therefore, not so much prayers or God given mercy to give Museveni way.

Neither, has it been Godly or merciful, the years in power of this President. It has used the military and the army to control the public. He has helped invasions of Republic that shares borders with his dominion. President Museveni is a War-Lord, by his actions and his usage of supporting militias outside of his dominion. To ensure other people’s death, because you want to loot somewhere else. That isn’t so God fearing of him, neither is it respecting the ten commandments. But, we should know that about the man already.

With all of this, I feel it is Cult like saying this about a Head of State. That his God given power to rule over leaders. Museveni is closer to God and has the abilities he has, because of transcending powers given to him.

Rukutana might not see it this way, but his appointed by the man and is a cadre of Museveni. So, he says this as a sign of loyalty and as a token to his master. Everyone should challenge this sort of rhetoric. Since it only shows how they are trying to use spirituality over actual facts. While many will not question this, because they don’t won’t to offend the Gods. However, I feel this is belittling the Gods, as he has given us a mind and we should use that.

Let me end with a passage from the New International Version:


Let me end with that. Peace.











Amama Mbabazi: The grass wasn’t greener on the other side…

Now matter how you look at it. There is a reason why Amama Mbabazi arrived was at the Kisozi farm in Gombe yesterday. Sitting side-by-side of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Ever since the resignation letter of September 2014. As Amama prepared to challenge Museveni within the National Resistance Movement (NRM) things has gone south for him.

Not like Amama has gotten into trouble like Besigye. Neither did he say that he had left the NRM. He was still a member as he went on with his Presidential Candidate with his pressure group, Go Forward and aligned himself with the The Democratic Alliance (TDA). So, that he was the supposed second option to Museveni. Even as the popularity and the strength in the opposition was all on Besigye.

Still, with that as he walked in the desert. He went days upon end without water. He felt the threat of the state. His people was tear-gassed, the offices of Go Forward was raided and blocked from operation. The consultation meetings was ambushed and sealed off. Youthful supporters and activists was arrested, all of this before the general election of 2016.

Even with all of that, he still until the final day of campaigning was still saying he was an NRM. That shows his loyalty. Even as he was a supposed candidate on the outside of the party. We know he was planning things before and would easily do it again. Just like he did with the NRM Cadre 2014. Evelyn Anite warned about his activities back in 2015 with that group. Therefore, he has proven before that he can light things up. Especially, if it is something in it for him.

Yoweri would enjoy having the services of Amama. His a good organizer and someone whose able to get a machinery going. Especially, if Amama gets some monetary incentives and get options for kick-backs. Mbabazi will serve like a thieving saint, the man of the heart of Mwenda these days. As long as he skims the top of the glass, there will be enough for everyone to drink. That is what Amama does and surely, at this point. Museveni would like to have his brethren back under his wings.

The little rebellion, the failing enterprise of Go Forward/TDA. The mediocre display of trying to gain an advantage and rise as a star in the NRM. Must surely humiliate Mbabazi, who couldn’t even make sense of the games played. He was a pawn seeking a greener pasture. Even if he was eating as there was no tomorrow as the Prime Minister, as the man who secured tenders, looting in the DRC and beyond. Mbabazi had it.

One of the most corrupt leaders in Uganda in living memory. He had everything, risked it all by challenging Museveni. Someone who haven’t lost* an election since taking power. Its hard to believe that Amama didn’t know, as he helped organizing the NRM for plenty of those. Before he had his “independent” run as an NRM member. If there ever was a pawn in the game, he was the one who was the biggest puppet of them all.

With that in mind, let’s say we don’t know what the deal was about yesterday. But he was smug around the President. He delivered some documents and most likely scheming something. If Amama wasn’t, he wouldn’t be true to himself and his own legacy. Peace.

*rigged elections since 1986

Opinion: No New Message from Museveni

Well, another 31st December and another New Years Message from President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Nothing inspiring or diligently said in it. There are nothing new under the sun and the sun always shines on the TV. Well, we couldn’t expect an old dog to do new tricks. The President has done this so much and stated these things so often. That he is on repeat of his old self. It is like we have heard it all before, except for a few punchlines.

Let’s dig into that, shall we: “Therefore, those rotten potatoes in the Police will not waste our time. Anybody who does not do his duty will be arrested, charged, sentenced and dismissed from the Police and promptly replaced by those that are ready to work” (Museveni, 31.12.2019). As he says that, there are very few cases where the Police or Armed Officials which are having pending cases. Not even the big-shot like former IGP Gen. Kale Kayihura is facing any justice soon. So, hard to believe that he says this. Like anyone believes the old man with the hat?

Than he said things like this: “Since the 1960s, the NRM has been a mass-oriented Party” (Museveni, 31.12.2019). National Resistance Movement/Army was formed in 1981, but what I reckon. However, Uganda Patriotic Movement (UPM), the party of Museveni for the 1980 election was also formed that year. Therefore, hard to see, how the NRM was dating back to 1960s, but hey, maybe that is just me over here.

On that note, didn’t you study in Dar Es Salaam until 1971, how come you were able to initiate the NRM from Tanzania? Or are there any other prolific memory you have, which you have never told the world at large?

Let me continue: Our efforts are beginning to succeed” (Museveni, 31.12.2919). I hate to comment, but it took your time. You have had the 33 years since you took power… Now you claim your able to succeed. You sure took your time. People have waited and still your only beginning now. A bit late to party may I say? If you call this succeeding, than the levels of borrowing funds to keep the upkeep of government. Surely, that is not a good job, you cannot even fund the costs of operations. When you lack that much revenue.

Final quote: “The NRM has opened a war on corruption. We shall defeat corruption. There is no corrupt individual that we cannot bring down. All we want is evidence. We never want to be unfair to anybody. Stay tunes on this” (Museveni, 31.12.2019). You have started to walk, but nothing serious. Even though you have created another anti-corruption body this year. Still, the big-fish like the Mukono-Katosi road scandal got off the hook the year. So, we’re not trusting you. People are awake and eating, because you let them.

Let me end here. It is enough sadness and bleak nostalgia for 2019. We’re soon ticking into 2020. Peace.

Opinion: The ones on the bus always dismiss Besigye

Besigye was relevant then because he came from the NRM with some people and indeed it happened. On the percentage of opposition then, Besigye came with an addition, but is he still able to add more support, NO, he does not have the capacity”Charles Rwomushana

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) and its shadow backers will always dismiss Dr. Kizza Besigye and the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC). If this is the “independent” MP Mohammed Nsereko or political analyst Charles Rwomushana. Even the ilk of Andrew Mwenda, Bebe Cool and all the others will all throw shade at Besigye, like its their meal ticket.

Now, that the 2021 elections are up on the horizon. The People Power Movement is growing and the anxious, passengers on the bus are awaiting their destination. The NRM are trying not only to deflect harm at Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, but also the relentless and never ending story of fight against dictatorship Besigye.

It is like people are complaining that Besigye is not stopping. But, has his battles been won? Has his struggle finished? No, Museveni is still there and bus is still knocking everyone else on the way. One of them is Besigye. That is why the enriched and the ones closely associated with the bus is bitching about Besigye. Like they cannot see, that their should focus on Museveni and how he plays the game of chess. They are his pawns and they accept that fate.

It wouldn’t be shocking if former Presidential Press Secretary Tamale Mirundi was still getting pay-checks from the State House, as his day-in and day-out in NBS Television talking non-stop ill of the opposition. As his wearing yellow. We see you, we have seen you and its obvious.

That Charles is aiming Besigye isn’t shocking, his done this for years. The same with Nsereko who wants to be relevant too and in that regard. Doing the bidding of the bus, while acting like a renegade, which his really not. If he was, he wouldn’t be in the good graces and be able to rotate like he does.

Therefore, this is the first of plenty of shots ahead of 2021. The aim is to weaken the opposition. Is to put sour taste between Bobi Wine and Besigye. To make the enemies, so that they are fighting each other, instead of finding avenues for a peaceful transition of power. Not, that Museveni will let them or give way. Nowhere is there any visible signs.

So, the ones driving the bus is telling the direction and guiding the ones there. They are passengers, whose grateful to participate and be there. Since it is like that, they have to show tokens of loyalty and say these things about Besigye. Because that cleans the hands of the driver and his ills get forgotten. As everyone is discussing why Besigye is still around and his motivations. While everyone is forgetting, the same machinery, the same state of affairs and control over everything is still there.

Not Besigye have won yet, not like the FDC has fulfilled its mission nor its reason for being founded. The issues are still there. It has just moved for over 2 decades and still have to ignite a flame. Not that its easier now, as there are new faces, there are new platforms, but the aim should still be same.

That is why people are blaming and aiming at Besigye. His the easy target. Not like these people are afraid of Nobert Mao or Mugisha Muntu. Both of them are to pragmatic to even spark any fire. That is why they either aim at Besigye or at Bobi Wine. Because, they can awake the people and get them woke. Peace.
