Uganda Police really shot and killed someone simply because they didn’t want to clean. Do they do psychological evaluations on these people before they give them guns? Because we’re surely dealing with mad people disguised as police officers

We, too, reach a breaking point as lawyers.

People are arrested. We go to court and apply for bail, sometimes five times, including applications for mandatory bail only for a magistrate to decline to grant it on the alleged readiness of the State, when the State is, in fact, not ready. The accused then spends six, ten, or even fourteen months in detention without witnesses being called or evidence being presented. Eventually, the accused begins to see a guilty plea as the only way out.

As a lawyer, you explain the consequences. You tell your client that they are innocent and that the law still provides avenues through which their case can be challenged. But they tell you that all hope is lost. And you see it too: the impunity of the judicial officer, the conduct of the State, and the failures of a system that appears indifferent to the suffering of the person before it. All of this is compounded by the client's personal circumstances.

Then the State tells the accused that they will not serve the maximum sentence. They are told that they will only receive a sentence equivalent to the period already spent on remand. The arrangement effectively enables both the court and the State to secure a conviction, but at the cost of a person who may be innocent and whom, in some cases, those involved know to be innocent, yet who has become collateral damage in the machinery of politics.

For those who refuse to plead guilty, you go to the High Court. You pursue every available legal remedy, but every judicial officer runs away from your file. You spend six, ten, or even fourteen months trying to get bail at High Court.

Where is the justice we studied at law school? Where are the Judges who stood for principle, fairness and the rule of law?

Are we truly doomed to watch the justice system descend into this apocalypse?

@pwatchug The minister was gaslighting the entire country that more patients die at the hands of interns but also conveniently forgot to mention the gains and critical roles interns play in the health sector.

So, how idi Amin was perceived was/is a CLASS THING, then? The COLONIAL ELITES: Intelligencia, and the Bureaucratic NYAMPARAS(colonial HEADMEN) VILIFIED him and went after him, while the COMMON UGANDANS: Rural Peasantry, Working class& all the marginalised subaltern population EXALTED HIM? That is a song by one of the leading composers/singers of that time; SSEBADDUKA CHRISTOPHER, exalting Idi Amin for liberating the common man..
@FGoloobaMutebi can help have it sang in English, by say, SYLIVER KYAGULANYI.... for those who dont understand Luganda....

CAN CORRUPTION FIGHT CORRUPTION? HELL NO!

When the young people of Uganda organised anti-corruption marches in 2024, Museveni boldly declared war on them, saying they were playing with fire. Indeed, those who attempted to protest were abducted or arrested and subjected to untold torture, including sexual assault and rape! That was Museveni protecting corruption and the corrupt!

I have now seen Museveni’s ministers running up and down purportedly exposing the massive, runaway corruption at various ministries, agencies, and local governments.

First, they're helping confirm what we've always said that the regime is simply a criminal enterprise masquerading as a government. You hear of the scandals in his government and shudder. They're telling you that on average, constructing a public road, hospital, or school costs five or six times more than what should be spent, because these officials are always inflating the cost of every government project.

No wonder those thieves (who should be public servants) always do everything possible to protect the regime because they know that it would be game over for them when government changes. In fact, they invest so much of that stolen money in ensuring the regime remains in power against the will of the people.

The people of Uganda must remain steadfast and not be distracted by the superficial crusades. They're not capable of tackling the problem. A serious government, faced with such evidence of failure and rot for four decades, would simply resign.

What these ministers are talking about does not even account for 1% of the mess. Corruption begins right from State House and spreads like a cancer to all institutions. A former IGG talked of how every time she tried to go for the REAL MAFIAS - the big fish, she would find them hiding behind Museveni’s back! We've all seen how he uses hundreds of billions of public funds to engage in open bribery during elections. We've seen him bribe MPs with billions to pass oppressive laws. We've seen how he's always in the market trying to buy off political opponents at all levels. We've seen him award government contracts to friends and relatives without following due process. We've seen him engage in the worst forms of corruption, cronyism, and nepotism. We've seen him abuse and run down all institutions of state with impunity - Parliament, the judiciary, etc. We've seen how he inserts trillions in every budget for 'classified expenditure' with only him knowing what that money does. And in each year, he comes back for supplementary budgets! Money, most of which is borrowed. He is the chief priest of corruption. The scandals that have taken place under his watch are too many to mention.

Worse still, he has presided over the most disgusting levels of electoral fraud not seen elsewhere in the recent past - going to an extent of rigging LC1 elections conducted by lining up! Shamelessly declaring NRM candidates winners even where some of those declared got 20 votes against opponents with over 400 votes! To-date Byabakama has failed to release the DR Forms, the basis of which he declared Museveni elected with 71%. Because he knows the people's vote was just grabbed on gunpoint! All that is corruption.

Therefore, Museveni's regime lacks any moral authority to say anything about corruption. Some of his appointed ministers are known thieves and plunderers. We all remember how he personally frustrated the former IGG's initiative on lifestyle audits of public officials.

In short, a government that is built on and survives on corruption can not fight corruption. The talk of exposing and fighting corruption is part of the politricks that he has played on our people for decades. The people of Uganda deserve a government of their own choosing - a government which they can hold accountable. A government of the people, by the people, for the people!

STILL AS GOOD AS DEAD TO US!
Now that she is back from the dead,
Can she take the keys from her son,
Open his different basements,
Set free Ugandans languishing within,
And end his illegal pre-trial detentions?
If not, she is still as good as dead to us!

Now that she is back from the dead,
Can she puncture the tyres of the drones,
Puncture the fuel tanks of the drones
Dismiss all the drivers of the drones,
And end their abductions of Ugandans?
If not, she is still as good as dead to us!

Now that she is back from the dead,
Can she truly open her eyes and ears,
See the fear in every Ugandan’s eyes,
Hear the whispers about her son’s brutality,
And then publicly address the rising torture?
If not, she is still as good as dead to us!

Now that she is back from the dead,
Can she remind Mzee about Kizza Besigye,
Talk to her husband about his bush-war doctor,
Appeal to him for justice and fairness,
And end the barbaric kangaroo court trial?
If not, she is still as good as dead to us!

On Saturday, thirteen @NUP_Ug supporters were travelling from Kampala to Luwero for burial. Because they were putting on NUP party colors and had a flag with them, they were intercepted, arrested and detained at Kawempe Police. Today, they have been arraigned before court at Kanyanya and charged with being a nuisance and handling the national flag in "a careless and degrading way". They've not been allowed to even make a bail application but have been remanded till the 28th! The regime always manufacturing cases to ensure a constant presence of political prisoners😡

The thirteen comrades are; Muwonge Martin, Bwire Hakim, Sseremba Paul, Kawanda Ezra, Ssali Fred, Simon Geserwa, Kasule Godfrey, Nakitende Vivian, Waswa Mohammed, Nayebale Grace, Musisi Shafiq, Lubega Shakuru, and Ssuuna Simon.

Uganda is an interesting country. The government has managed to turn accountability upside down and then arrest anyone who notices. Try to call out corporate thieves and they will flamboyantly run to court, where you risk being ordered to pay enormous sums for injuring their apparently more valuable reputation. Fail to pay and another legal problem may be waiting at the door--criminal contempt of court. Ask Prof. @SpireJim Ssentongo about his dispute with giraffes at KIU. In our country, it sometimes appears cheaper to lose money than to mention who you think stole it.

Call out those you accuse of stealing public money and the procedure becomes less judicial and more automotive. A dark-tinted drone arrives at your door and you are bundled into it, you disappear like a Muchwezi, like Rukirabachwezi disappeared from Uganda without a passport. You are driven into CMI or Sera Kasenyi freezing cold basement where the curriculum is torture and the compulsory language course is Runyankole. Meanwhile, your relatives file habeas corpus ad subjiciendum. Government agents responsible for your disappearance appear before a court and deny having you. The court has the application, your family has the questions, everybody has paperwork. Only the applicant is missing.

Then comes the Ugandan miracle of legal transportation. Weeks, months, sometimes longer later, the same citizen who officially was nowhere somehow materialises before a court. Nobody explains which constitutional wormhole delivered him there. He is charged. His complaints about what happened before his miraculous appearance receive little practical remedy. Bail may be denied and he is remanded to prison, because apparently the safest place for a person complaining of unlawful detention is more detention.

Months later, the prosecution loses enthusiasm. Hearings stall, witnesses evaporate and the case eventually dies for want of prosecution. The accused walks out without compensation. Nobody seriously investigates the disappearance. Nobody answers for the torture despite overwhelming medical evidence that supports it. Nobody explains why officials could deny custody and later produce the same human being for prosecution. The DPP and judiciary simply clears their throats and proceeds to the next file.

Then enters my favourite specimen in this national comedy--the fully grown adult whose grey hair has accumulated considerably more wisdom than the head beneath it. There are many nincompoops, but let us take Adonia Ayebare, for example, shuffling about in cheap suits with the grave expression of expecting his wardrobe to supply the intellectual authority his arguments forgot to bring. He parades the vocabulary and costume of diplomacy while reducing that ancient craft to the solemn laundering of whatever absurdity NRM/PLU power has deposited on his desk. The tragedy is almost sartorial. All that grey hair, all those shiny suits, all that diplomatic vocabulary, and still the argument makes him naked. Corner him with the facts and he produces the great Ugandan doctrine of political necessity: “My brother, I am just surviving.”

Surviving, apparently, has acquired a constitutional meaning. It means earning from a government you dare not criticise, defending conduct you would condemn if committed against yourself, and calling everyone who objects unreasonable. Uganda has produced many remarkable innovations, conceivably its finest is that the victim must explain his patriotic manners, while the people accused of violating his rights explain that they were merely doing their jobs.

If a court can be turned into a weapon, every opposition leader is already on trial.

Jail or exile is not because Africans are bad at politics. It is what happens when everything ends at State House. Oppose long enough and your turn comes. Luzira, exile, or kneeling.

We reject all three.

The Presidential Transition Authority breaks that grip.
9 members. 9 different bodies elect them, without presidential appoints.

State House stops picking judges, picking the Electoral Commission and holding the keys to its own handover.
