@AnitahAmong@KagutaMuseveni While you express gratitude for mercy granted, in the same spirit, do you not owe Ugandans and taxpayers an explanation or even an apology for fueling parliamentary corruption, given the public trust and resources entrusted to your office? Repent. @KagutaMuseveni thank you.
@SarahBireete Ugandan never apply history and experience while still in office. Am certain Rebecca & Anita see life differently unfortunately nothing they can do after being used and dumped.
The DPP, on behalf of despot Museveni and cannibal Muhoozi, has filed a formal application in the High Court against exiled senior counsel @kiizaeron seeking prima facie contempt of court proceedings. The background is that conman @artfulgypzy (Andrew Wilson), alias Orlando, the prosecution's principal witness in the treason trial of Dr Kizza Besigye, in his police statement, he places the first Geneva meeting on 29 October 2023--a page later he places the same meeting on 23 November 2023. He also says he met Salaam Musumba only after two years of dealing with Joel Wakayima, whom he first engaged in late 2021, and that Musumba is the one who introduced him to Besigye. Two years from late 2021 is late 2023. The meeting that all of this is said to have produced is dated before the steps that produced it. So, Eron Kiiza noticed and wrote it out publicly on his social media and observed that this is not a question of interpretation but of arithmetic.
The State did not correct its witness, it opened a file out of sheer pig-headedness. The CID wrote to the Directorate of Forensic Services, a magistrate signed an order under sections 10 and 31 of the Computer Misuse Act. Examiner #11 ran Page Freezer 7.10 on a Windows 11 machine, computed MD5 hashes, and produced a thirty-three page RESTRICTED report with a glossary that patiently explains what a URL is. The conclusion, after all that machinery was that the social media posts exist and that they drew 101,226 views. Someone in the replies called the witness a clever clever person. The report recommends obtaining KYC data from X Corp, presumably in case the account belongs to some other Eron Kiiza.
The DPP now asks the court to commit Eron Kiiza to civil prison, order the posts deleted, and compel a court-approved apology posted for seven consecutive days to purge the scandalisation of the Judiciary. Also annexed is his letter of 16 July to three state-appointed advocates, asking them not to sit in chairs emptied by the deportation of Martha Karua and the imprisonment of Erias Lukwago. That letter is now evidence of contempt. Can you imagine these arseholes?
So the position is that Kizza Besigye is on trial for treason on a statement that cannot keep its own dates straight. The State has spent a month, a magistrate, a forensic laboratory and thirty-three pages establishing that his lawyer--Eron Kiiza--can count.
When you describe these state agents as arseholes, they complain that you have insulted them. What else are you supposed to call them? The irony is that an arsehole at least performs its biological function. It lets out gas and passes waste. These state nincompoops? Ah.
@SSssebunya Mbu fast trial! Can you tolerate the abuse Besigye has endured? Do you have any idea how many false accusations the regime have brought against him? And not even one conviction?
Dr. Besigye's actions were understandable, especially if the judge failed to uphold and apply the law impartially. When the courts fail to enforce the law, public confidence in the justice system is undermined. Why is Baguma still holding on this case? What is his movitive?
I have always wondered how @kizzabesigye1 always manages to stay calm and respectful amidst the unbearably unprofessional, arrogant and greatly annoying behavior of Baguma. Today he couldnโt take it anymore.
VIDEO: This is real, not AI. Dr. Kizza Besigye has collapsed while in court.
Prison officials have reportedly called for an ambulance to have him taken to hospital for medical attention.
@DaudiKabanda@mkainerugaba Hon. @DaudiKabanda as a senior law maker, amend the law to add sense to this directive. Otherwise, its unlawful as per the Preamble, Objectives, Articles 1, 2, 3, 29 & 43 of Uganda Constitution.
This act undermine Articles 1, 2, 29, & 43 of the Constitution of Uganda, which protect freedom of expression, media, constitutional supremacy, and rule of law. Restricting media operations on grounds of national security must be by law through due process. It is WRONG!
๐จUPDATE: Sometime back, NTV News reporter Solomon Kaweesa did this story of how Nation Media Group (NMG) and the government have been battling since its establishment.
They have been closed several times, but what NMG didn't stop, no matter how many times it has been closed, is reporting facts.
And today, it happened again. The military, on the orders of Museveniโs son and the military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba has shuttered NTV, SPARK TV, and Daily Monitor because they refused to be compromised
Let this be clear: the shutdown of NMG outlets is not just an attack on a media house it is an assault on the very soul of our democracy. The fight for the rule of law and a free press is the fight for our collective future. When the truth is silenced, tyranny thrives.
Journalism is not a crime
