After days away from his loved ones, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi is finally back home on bail. May this moment bring comfort to his family, strength to him, and a reminder that every person deserves compassion, dignity, and peace. Welcome back, Hon. 🙏🏾
Indeed keeping hope alive! And to God the Almighty Father be all the glory. Bail has been granted to H. E Muwanga Kivumbi and 16 co accused the other 6 will return to court on Monday. To you all the people of Butambala, NUP fraternity, the sureties and all well wishers thank you so much.
This video is from October, 2021 as late Hon. Muhammad Ssegirinya displayed his rotting feet to court, in the hope that he could appeal to the humanity of the judicial officer to release him on bail so as to seek better medication. Sadly, court wasn't moved! Hon. Ssegirinya would be kept under detention until 2023 - by which time his health had completely deteriorated. A few months down the road, we lost him.
Today's video of former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago pleading with the Magistrate to be released so as to get better medical attention is very difficult to watch. Followed by an adjournment of 10 days! A man in that state? You would assume that the Ssegirinya situation taught all of us - and especially the judicial officers, a lesson in kindness, in humanness. Sad.
I am grateful to my President @HEBobiwine, my party NUP & colleague MPs for the confidence they have placed in me. I accept this responsibility of Parliamentary Commissioner with humility.
I pledge to serve diligently & uphold the highest standards of integrity & accountability.
Grateful to H.E. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu for the trust! Parliament designated me as Chairperson of the Committee on Government Assurance & Implementation.
Your Ssabazoganyi chairing with Honorable @AdekeAnna , while my former tormentor now sits as a member under me. Life! 😅
Free @eddie_mutwe , Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro and all other political prisoners with no crimes whatsoever and take in the criminals like Anitah Among, Mathias Mpuuga, and others, we shall surely thank you, dear Government of Uganda!
Since 21st April when he was abducted by armed men from Kamwokya, artiste and @NUP_Ug supporter, King Zale's whereabouts remain unknown. Despite every effort to locate him! Sadly, last week the High Court closed his Habeas Corpus file, after the police and military filed returns saying he's not in their custody. (Just like in the case of our Kenyan brothers where a judge said he couldn't squeeze blood from a stone, only for the state to release and deport the said persons a few days later!) Zale was taken away in the presence of many witnesses! He left behind a mother, wife and children who are seeking answers. The least the regime can do in produce him before court if he has any case to answer.
