Fellow countrymen&women,here is madam MARIAM WANGADYA the chairperson of UGANDA HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. As the country continues to grapple with violations of human rights,those with mandate to address it are busy fighting eachother. Do we save Ugandans first or the Commission?
Legitimate governments lead through persuasion. Illegitimate governments rule through coercion. That makes every difference, and determines whether people merely live or thrive.

In this documentary, desperate Ugandan and other African men narrate how they were lured with promises of jobs only to find themselves deployed to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war; a war they never agreed to join. Now prisoners of war, they complain of having been flung onto the front lines while ill fed, ill trained, ill equipped, and ill protected. Worst of all, they can't even send the money they earn to their people back home. They describe scenes of unimaginable suffering, and caution others to think twice before falling for similar recruitment schemes!
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.
One of the many reasons I left NRM was the whole idea that you're not allowed to think for yourself. I would often make posts criticizing government dysfunction and corruption, and then my inbox would be flooded with messages asking why I’m fighting the government!
If for instance there was a corruption scandal involving some NRM bigwig and the opposition was up in arms against that person, you were expected to defend that person no matter how much loss or damage the person had caused.
Surprisingly, once Gen. Museveni ordered for the investigation of that person or took some action against them, you were expected to immediately shift goalposts and condemn him or her. If you continued defending that person after Museveni had spoken, you would be branded a traitor - ekipinga. Likewise, if you went to public hospitals and talked about the terrible conditions there, you were branded opposition. If Gen. Museveni came out and said the same thing, they would clap hands and nod in approval. So I asked, "What is my head for if I am not expected to make a judgment call on what is wrong or right?"
Sadly, that behavior has persisted up to now or even gotten worse. You all saw how NRM apologists were on these streets defending Anita Among despite all the evidence of grand corruption. But when the system turned on her, they joined the chorus of those condemning her. Seamlessly. Shamelessly!
I shuddered yesterday when I saw the number of apologists defending the shootings in Kisekka market. I'm sure if Museveni issues a statement today condemning that behavior, you will see how they instantly pivot and join in the condemnation. Suddenly, they will be "deeply disgusted" by these unpatriotic actions that harm peace, security, and tourism.
So, what is the purpose of having a brain if you can’t use it to think for yourself and discern what is right or wrong?
