STATEMENT ON PLEA BARGAINS INVOLVING SOME NUP POLITICAL PRISONERS
As the nation knows, over 150 supporters of the National Unity Platform are currently in detention over trumped-up charges. Some of these comrades have been in prison for years.
Our legal teams have done and continue to do everything within the law to secure their release. Indeed, we have secured the release of hundreds of our people who were illegally detained during and after the recent elections.
However, following numerous bail denials and Museveni’s recent remarks directing judicial officers not to release our people on bail, some of our comrades have opted to plead guilty or enter into plea bargains for offences everyone knows they did not commit. By taking this step, these comrades are not in any way admitting that they committed any offences, but they consider it to be the quickest path available for them to get out of the long periods of detention without trial.
Our position on this matter remains that while we never encourage anyone to incriminate themselves, we never judge those who, being weighed down by the numerous challenges that come with illegal detention, choose to plead guilty and come out of jail. More so, if they do so within clear known legal processes such as plea bargaining. What is more important is how those comrades behave when they are released.
This is, therefore, to call upon our people to understand this situation.
As for those who insist on their innocence and choose to wait longer, they are even bigger heroes who deserve to be celebrated and supported every day.

@GabrielBuule This is deep may God uphold you brother and let me assure you there's an answer to all this and that is God through Jesus Christ, may her soul continue resting in peace in Jesus'name.
Museveni’s son said he is very proud of the pain and hurt he is inflicting on former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. He must be very proud of himself, seeing this video. But as the saying goes, no one is tall enough to see the future. One day, the tables will turn and all these atrocities will be accounted for, one by one.
Buganda has been like this since 1200z! You might not like it, even if you live there, but there’s a lot we can learn from it to build a stronger, united, and prosperous Uganda. Remember, Buganda doesn’t collect any taxes. Let Ugandans be led by leaders of their own choice, and you’ll see the difference. ✔️
In the televised public address of July 4th, Gen. Yoweri Museveni, who was responding to concerns of the deteriorating rights abuses mired by rampant abductions, reiterated that Ugandans should, in fact, be grateful that suspects are at least arraigned in the courts of law. He claimed that, unlike in the past where Ugandans would be killed on sight during arrest, suspects now have the privilege to appear in court and should, therefore, be grateful. Imagine that kind of impunity!
Well, reflecting on his whitewashing remarks justifying the prevailing lawlessness, we bring to his attention the plight of #TheMissing18 citizens who were disappeared in 2020-2021.
What does he have to say to the families of John Bosco Kibalama that have endured six solid years of pain? What will he say to the family of John Ddamulira? What does he have to say to the family of Sam Mugumya and Christopher Goddy, aka King Zale, who are the latest people to get abducted and have spent months minus being arraigned before court?
There’s too much impunity that we must call out and resist as Ugandans!

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.
My hate for Politics grows every day. You can not be Loved by All neither can you be hated by all. While on either sides there are contradictory Prayers... In Politics unlike else where, there's one with absolute Power equivalent to God. Lukwago's Prayer is not to God, but Man. Man who has power not above God's power but strong enough to grant another man the opportunity to see another day. When you see people shifting Goals, don't call it compromise or weakness. They're conditions made when he prayed while no one couldn't save them, but themselves.
I Pray Lukwago's Prayers are meant through Humanitarian Grounds and not Political Principles.
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! 😅
Then he says that everyone should subject themselves for trial so that the truth comes out. But Yasin Ssekitoleko aka Machete and the others have spent close to six years in detention without trial! All this time, they have never appeared before any judge for their case to be heard. Even when the Supreme Court ordered that their files be sent to ordinary courts for trial, his regime refused to transfer those files. Instead, state agents have made it clear that their only path to ever get out of jail is to plead guilty to crimes they never committed!
Dear Ms. @SueNsibirwa
I understand the immense pressure and the difficult circumstances you are facing. But I want you to know that in the hearts and minds of millions of ordinary Ugandan especially those who have long felt oppressed, you are held in the highest regard.
Even if those applying pressure succeed in ending your career at @NationMediaGrp , they cannot erase the legacy you have built. Those of us who have followed and benefited from your leadership owe you our deepest gratitude for the professionalism, courage, and integrity you have demonstrated during one of the most difficult periods for Uganda’s democracy and press freedom.
If every media house in Uganda had a Managing Director with your courage and principles, our country would be in a far better place when it comes to freedom of expression, independent journalism, and public communication.
Looking back at my own career in journalism, one of my greatest regrets is that I never had the opportunity to work under your leadership. You are among the finest media executives our industry has produced and your example will continue to inspire generations of journalists.
Your leadership reminds me of Jeff Zucker, who stood firmly behind his newsroom as CNN came under sustained attacks from the state. Despite enormous political pressure and public criticism, he defended the independence of journalism and the responsibility of the press to hold power to account. History tends to remember leaders who choose principle over intimidation.
May the Lord strengthen you, protect you, and guide you through these difficult times. Whatever the outcome, your courage and commitment to journalistic independence have earned you a place in the hearts of many Ugandans.
Thank you for your service to journalism, your colleagues, and the nation.
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.
