One good thing we've copied from Rwanda is the community clean-up exercise. Now it's time to take another bold step and ban kavera. We must also keep a close watch on those who dump rubbish and litter.
Legitimate governments lead through persuasion. Illegitimate governments rule through coercion. That makes every difference, and determines whether people merely live or thrive.
Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi is our Party's Deputy President for Buganda Region. He is an immediate former Member of Parliament, having lost his seat to unprecedented rigging. He is a distinguished leader and economist.
On the night following the election, his home was attacked by the military, who shot and killed 10 people in his compound. Instead of arresting the criminals who killed our people, the regime instead arrested Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi and a team of his campaigners in January, and charged them with terrorism. They've all been in detention until the 9th of this month when the High Court granted them bail.
But Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi enjoyed his freedom only for a few hours. On 10th July, he was stopped at a police checkpoint and violently abducted by non-uniformed, heavily armed men moving in a drone. He was driven at breakneck speed to an unknown destination. For 13 days now, no body knows where Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi is. No body knows whether he is dead or alive. If he is alive, no body knows the state of his health. What we've heard is that he was subjected to severe torture.
I urge all citizens and the friends of Uganda to loudly and boldly ask Museveni and his criminal son this question: WHERE IS MUWANGA KIVUMBI? This runaway criminality must be REJECTED, RESISTED AND FOUGHT.
They treat us as subhuman.
They kill our people for fun
They rape our sisters and brothers.
They torture us on camera.
They abduct us without remorse.
They tear families apart.
They drive people into exile.
They push others to commit suicide.
They rig elections with impunity.
They mock us and post humiliating images of our comrades in captivity.
Then they ask us “What will you do about it?”
But when we remind them, that they too are mortal, and that pain has a way of returning to its source, they suddenly remember the language of ‘morality’.
Go and preach that fake morality to Yasin Kawuma’s mother.
Preach it to the children of Johnbosco Kibalama., Eddy Mutwe or Waiswa Mufumbiro.
Preach it to the family of John Ddamulira and to the countless other victims of the Museveni family.
Don’t try to weaponize ‘morality’ to shield injustice and brutality.
It won’t work with this generation!
Yes, we believe in morality, but silence in the face of injustice is not morality. It is complicity, it is hypocrisy!
