As a journalist, I have had to listen to boring Museveni speeches for 13 years, and as an MP for 15 years and because I am invited on TVs and radios, this burden is not about to go away. Immagine this afternoon he is wondering why Ugandans go for kyeyo in Dubai which Amin gave food during his reign. According to the 2024 population census, 20 million of the 46 million Ugandans are food insecure, 5.6 million homes still sleeping in one room house, 28 million people using firewood as main source of energy and 14 million people about 31% of the population don’t have two sets of clothes. The economy he has built for 41 years cannot employ 1.7 million people with degrees, diplomas and certificates!
If we’re serious about fighting corruption, we can’t stop at exciting the public with House arrests and headlines. People must be prosecuted and convicted so everyone learns the lesson. This habit of forgiving, only for them to fight us again later demoralizes every anti-corruption crusader. You can’t convict Nandutu over 300 iron sheets, then forgive the one who stole the entire economy. The law must apply equally big or small fish.
Fellow Ugandans,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of our dear sister and comrade, Edith Katende Mufumbiro, the wife of our Deputy Spokesperson, Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro.
Edith passed on after 3:00am today following a hard-fought battle with cancer. At the time of her passing, her dear husband Waiswa remains detained at Luzira Upper Prison for no crime whatsoever. His only crime is speaking out against injustice and misrule.
The criminal regime placed on him and others the sham charge of "Unlawful Drilling" which apparently took place on 12th February 2025 at our Party Headquarters. In fact, on that day, Waiswa never stepped there as he was at Mulago Cancer Institute with the wife! The judiciary, fully aware of these facts, has chosen to conspire in this persecution.
Waiswa, alongside other comrades, has applied for bail severally. He has variously made an impassioned plea to the Court to be released on bail so that he takes care of his sick wife, but it has been denied. The injustice!
As difficult as it is, we remain hopeful that we shall overcome some day. May God grant the family, especially our brother Waiswa, the strength he needs at this time.
This video, recorded in Lagot, Kitgum District exemplifies the criminality of Museveni's regime of blood and national shame. UPDF soldiers under the command of a GISO are severely beating up a man who they accuse of stealing a motorcycle. Despite his pleas that he is innocent, they do not stop beating him. They simply want him to accept that he stole the motorcycle or they will continue the torture!
The way they tied him with ropes before beating him is similar to the many stories we have heard from our people who have been lucky to get out of those torture chambers. Imagine if there was no video. Regime apologists would be all over the place denying that this happened, and claiming that we want to make them look bad! Wangadya and her 'Human Rights Commission' would be shamelessly calling it a lie and covering up for the regime.
This is why the world must isolate the criminal regime. This is why we call for more sanctions against perpetrators of this criminality- beginning with their commander in chief. This is why Ugandan deserves better. This is why we are struggling for change! #BringBackOurPeople
Hundreds of soldiers descended on our home in Magere last night. Most were dressed in SFC uniforms while others were in regular UPDF uniforms and others in plain clothes. Many of them were drunk. They came with ladders, ready to climb upstairs. They broke our doors and forced themselves into our house. Using hammers, they hit walls, window glasses, and doors. They put my wife on gunpoint, asking her to reveal my whereabouts. They stole money, numerous valuable documents, and all electronic gadgets. They took phones, laptops, chargers, our internet system, our CCTV system, speakers, and any electronic gadget they could lay their criminal hands on. They entered every part of our house, including the ceiling, and left so much destruction everywhere. They grabbed my wife's phone, forced her to sit down, and ordered her to remove her password. She refused. They strangled her and insulted her. They forcefully removed her blouse and took pictures! Speaking Runyakore, they asked why she would get married to a muganda, and why we would dare challenge Museveni.
They beat up our askari and house maid. They ordered the askari to show them where the basement is, where I was hiding. These criminals asked where my children were!
My wife was rushed to hospital where she remains admitted - dealing with all the physical and psychological trauma. Yet in all this, we remain firm in our belief that UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
Magere residents explain to area MP Muwada Nkunyinji how armed forces commanded by CDF Muhoozi earlier, at around 10pm, broke into the President’s home in Magere with a number of commando vehicles.
No one is safe till we all free ourselves.
#FreeUgandaNow
A short while ago I went to Magere to establish the goings on there, after an alert of another raid by the military on the home of Hon Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert (Bobi Wine). There are dozens of military men on the outside and visibly on the inside, some in uniform while others not.
I have been denied access by the numerous gun-men, who am told have broken the house doors, assaulted the family and occupants, ransacked the house, and taken all the gadgets they could find.
I’ve spoken to some senior police officers asking why they have to keep behaving in such a vile manner instead of issuing summons to whoever they are interested in. They however say they are not aware of the raid, and apparently don’t even know who is commanding the operation!!!
A group of masked, armed soldiers has just broken into our house and beat up my family members. They have currently isolated my wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi, alone. Their intentions are unclear!
What is happening in Magere? Despot @KagutaMuseveni why are you and your son @mkainerugaba attacking a lone woman @BarbieItungoK and her household, in the absence of her husband @HEBobiwine ? Museveni matako butako!
This is gross abuse of human rights. Please @KagutaMuseveni and @mkainerugaba tell your goons to stay away from @HEBobiwine ‘s family. Ngaaha, Apaana! Please!
