Mabonga claims that he was tortured, which he says is why his name appears on the list he released. However, towards the end of the video, he says that he was allowed to move in and out of the place and he wasn't in captivity.
He also claims that he refused deployment to Fort Portal because he considered it too far. Taken together, these contradictions raise questions abt his discipline. He is just undisciplined.
Addressing the UPDF Press Statement: Discipline, Accountability, and Unsubstantiated Claims
The latest press statement released by the UPDF regarding Lt Herbert Matanda Mabonga highlights a clear case of institutional discipline versus social media sensationalism.
As detailed by Col Chris Magezi, Lt Mabonga is not a whistleblower acting on principle, but a designated deserter facing serious criminal charges. Having failed to report to his posted duty station at the Mountain Infantry Division HQ in Fort Portal in April 2026, he went AWOL and abandoned his oath of service.
Furthermore, the UPDF’s findings reveal that his social media campaigns against the CDF, the institution, and the President rely on doctored materials and outright forgeries. This appears to be an attempt to generate political cover to distract from his ongoing criminal investigations involving extortion and land fraud.
Military structures rely on strict adherence to the code of conduct. Attempting to use fabricated media to evade accountability for criminal acts and desertion undermines national security and the rule of law. The position of the armed forces is clear: Lt Mabonga will ultimately face military justice for his actions.
Im actually one of the people laughing at this fool crying like a pig. This fool during his reign at CMI extorted a lot of money from people and again connected cartels that were grabbing peoples lands. Let him pay for his sins first

President @KagutaMuseveni has urged Ugandans to harness the vast opportunities in tourism to create wealth, increase household incomes and drive socio-economic transformation.
Speaking at the World Tourism Day 2026 celebrations in Mbale, under the theme “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism,” the President commissioned Mbale Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (Mbale Zoo) and called for greater investment in tourism, conservation and last-mile infrastructure.
He further unveiled the Tourism Conservation Strategy for the Elgon Sub-region, stressing the need to protect forests, wetlands and wildlife habitats while positioning communities to benefit from the tourism value chain.
The President also proposed the Bugisu Anthem as a possible anthem for the proposed East African Federation, highlighting its cultural significance, lyrics and melody. #OpenGovUg
Last time at the launch of the website and official endorsement day of Gen Mk at the PLU Secretariat, a so called Protocol official denied me access to the function, even after I explained that I was a PRO to a Minister.
Someone should really remind him what the role of a PRO is
@TroubleWar2@PoliceUg Correct, they are required to use reasonable force, when someone resists and turns violent. You can still go back and report, she could even have been summoned
@tibzkarts2@M_Kananura@PoliceUg@JudiciaryUG@AgoraCFR An officer can't fight with a suspect after resisting arrest. If she got beaten, then it's her own case to solve. That cansw can never be heard anywhere. She lacks training
