We’ve received disturbing reports alleging that Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was tortured to near death at Kasenyi SFC military barracks and is now being hidden from the public while receiving treatment before he can be produced.
These reports cannot be dismissed lightly. Many of us have gone through similar ordeals at the hands of this regime and were deliberately hidden from the public until our wounds and the evidence of torture had faded.
While the regime keeps the country distracted with endless diversions, it’s now 10 days since our Deputy President of the Buganda region was abducted in broad daylight and since then, he has never been seen again.
Neither the police nor the army have accounted for his whereabouts.
Where is Hon Muwanga Kivumbi ?
It is never right for anyone to attack another based on religious beliefs. Especially not the Chief of Defense forces of Uganda.
Many wars have been fought because of statements like this.
What a terrible example this is setting for us as the youth of Uganda!!

Mr Mugume it is! My apologies for the late response, I was in class.
Before I say anything else, I'd like to address the typo in my first post: "There’s no way you let yourself get respected" should have been "There’s no way you let yourself get DISrespected."
You asked for my point and here it is. Today you reported that Nation Media Group's owners committed to "patriotic, balanced and objective" journalism after meeting the CDF, Muhoozi. The man who sent soldiers to shut the newsrooms also was the one who supplied the official story of how the problem was resolved, and you published his version as ‘the news’. That is the problem with your method of reporting.
Your report did not mention that Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) both heavily condemned the shutdown of NTV and Daily Monitor. Muhoozi himself posted on X, in a since-deleted post: "In Uganda, I DO NOT believe in a free press!"
When soldiers close your colleagues' newsrooms and the man who ordered it is the one announcing changes in their organization, by repeating his words you are not practicing balanced journalism, you are only conforming to the status quo. And, to repeat myself, you are allowing yourself to be used as a puppet.
Let me ask you this:
What does it mean to be a journalist in Uganda if the terms under which you operate are dictated by the same army general who shut down the biggest media house in the country at will?
Wewe ni mlevi wa taifa tu!
You’re a wannabe badman, masquerading as a fierce military General, but deep inside you’re weak, insecure, and desperate for attention.
You never earned the ranks you wear, no wonder you abuse and disgrace them every single day.
Your actions are such an embarrassment to the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF). History will remember you and your father with shame.
One day even your own children will struggle to defend your name.
@HEBobiwine It is not yet over. The millions of Ugandans who genuinely love their country and wish it well will free it from the fangs of Museveni and his regime of blood and national shame!
