I've just been informed of the violent abduction of my Deputy President for Buganda Region, Hon. Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, shortly after he was released on bail yesterday.
The criminal regime is doing all this to instil fear within the population, but these tactics have been employed by despots all over the world and throughout history. They never win in the end! UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
Three days since his abduction near @NUP_Ug's former headquarters in Kamwokya on 17th June, comrade Andrew Natumanya 'Tabz' remains missing. Our teams are doing everything possible to locate him but no positive results so far. We continue to demand his immediate release, and remain committed to ending this impunity once and for all!
When abducters deny knowledge of a person they picked, the fate is likely to be like Sam Mugumyaโs. After all they got away with disappearing Sam and nothing happened. Every successful act of impunity emboldens more impunity, in even worse forms.
So, Iโm told there is a ploy to potentially add me onto the โTerrorismโ file of Butambala, or one of those other files in court.
Iโve said previously; when you fight corruption, it fights back.
Similarly, when you fight bad governance, it fights back!
But we shall overcome.
#KeepingTheGovtInCheck
Women in the struggle know the pain of sleepless nights and the fear that grips a motherโs heart searching for answers from a system that never provides them. The late Monica and The late Sarah carried that agony with dignity and admirable strength as they waited for justice that never came until they lost their own lives. These two are a symbol of mothers, wives who refuse to forget their loved ones and who fight with courage. May their courage live with in us all and may it live on forever!
We have previously heard reports that the missing persons were killed, and others had their eyes gouged out in a sadistic manner!
These grotesque acts and extrajudicial killings are now being confirmed by the immediate former Internal Affairs Minister.
The Directorate of Crime Intelligence is headed by Maj Gen Christopher Ddamulira.
#FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners Supporting president kyagulanyi @HEBobiwine isn't a crime. We're Ugandans who knows what we want. If Waiswa is 40yrs and kyagulanyi 44yrs, why do you expect (Waiswa) to support the 93 old man and leave the young man who understands his problems.
President Museveni's latest State of the Nation Address may go down as one of the clearest demonstrations yet of how disconnected he has become from the daily realities facing ordinary Ugandans.
In remarks that left many stunned, Museveni appeared to blame Ugandans for leaving the country in search of jobs abroad, particularly in the Middle East. According to him, Ugandans are abandoning what he described as "paradise" in Uganda for what he considers "hell" in places like Dubai and other Gulf states.
But this raises a simple question: if Uganda is heaven, why are millions of Ugandans desperately trying to leave it?
People are not boarding planes to the Middle East because they hate Uganda. They are leaving because they cannot find jobs, opportunities, or a decent standard of living at home. They are leaving because they have families to feed. They are leaving because years of economic hardship have made survival itself a struggle.
The tragedy is that instead of asking why so many young people are risking exploitation abroad, the President seems more interested in blaming the victims of the very conditions his government has presided over for decades.
This is why I believe Museveni's comments reveal a leader who has lost touch with the realities of the people he governs. A man surrounded by power, privilege, and comfort for nearly four decades can easily forget what life looks like for the unemployed graduate, the struggling mother, or the young man desperate for a chance to earn a living.
At this point, I have a humble request for Natasha Museveni and the President's family: please come and take your father home.
Uganda deserves leadership that understands the pain, frustrations, and aspirations of its people. When a leader can no longer comprehend why citizens are fleeing the country in search of work, it may be time to acknowledge that he has become detached from the reality he is supposed to govern.
Natasha, come and take your dad away. He has overstayed his welcome, and his latest comments suggest he has lost touch with the Uganda that ordinary citizens live in every day.

The state of the Nation Address left more questions than answers
One wonders if Mr Museveni is actually aware of whatโs going on in the country
