One of the hooded JATT operatives who came with Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi to court, in full possession of some of the tools that are regularly used in torture sessions - gun, pliers, hammer, axe, knife, etc. Talk to past victims and they'll tell you how these items have been used to make citizens wail at the weight of torture- if at all they live to tell the story. These operatives even had the audacity to enter the court room, fully armed in this manner! That the judicial officer could not condemn them and instead punished Hon. Kivumbi with a long remand period is telling. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
The mocking, evil tone with which the police spokesman responds to a question about our Deputy President who was abducted by operatives 17 days ago and is still missing to-date! He even has the audacity to laugh as he talks about such a terrible situation. TIME
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.
We’ve received disturbing reports alleging that Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was tortured to near death at Kasenyi SFC military barracks and is now being hidden from the public while receiving treatment before he can be produced.
These reports cannot be dismissed lightly. Many of us have gone through similar ordeals at the hands of this regime and were deliberately hidden from the public until our wounds and the evidence of torture had faded.
While the regime keeps the country distracted with endless diversions, it’s now 10 days since our Deputy President of the Buganda region was abducted in broad daylight and since then, he has never been seen again.
Neither the police nor the army have accounted for his whereabouts.
Where is Hon Muwanga Kivumbi ?
After @Airtel_Ug’s PR team called me, they explained that I had entered my PIN to send the money (something i didn’t do) They said they would help me track where the transaction had taken place.
Two days later, they called back and told me the transaction had happened in Mukono (Watoni). The funny thing is, that day I didn’t even go anywhere near Jinja Road, not even ku bitaala bya Jinja road.
Later, they called again and asked whether I use Wi-Fi. They told me to send them the phone number of the person whose Wi-Fi I use because they suspected that person might have intercepted my connection and stolen my money.
Before I could even send them the number, they called again and claimed that my SIM card had been inserted into a Tecno phone that day my money was chopped for about five minutes, and that the owner of that phone might have been the one who took my money.
I asked them, Fine, but why didn’t I receive the usual message confirming that I had sent the money ? He replied, “The messaging part is above me, I can’t explain that”
And that’s how my UGX 360,000 was taken from my Airtel line without my consent.
So, guys, please be careful with mobile money and these telecom services. Don’t keep more than UGX 50,000 in your mobile money account for long, otherwise, you might end up crying too😢
I joined @TheWorld's @MarcoWerman to discuss why leaders who cling to power at the expense of their people remain one of the world's greatest threats, and why Uganda’s struggle for freedom deserves urgent global attention.
Kindly listen to the interview here:
These documents, publicized under America's public disclosure laws, reveal that the Museveni regime is busy hiring foreign agents in Washington DC to white wash its battered image before the world. According to the documents, the regime is executing agreements with American lobbyists to engage American legislators, NGOs, the media, and others on its behalf. But it's too late because the truth about Uganda is already out and absolutely nothing the regime does can buy it back!
The Washington Post's Editorial Board is asking the American government to immediately review its relations with the Museveni dictatorship for rigging elections and oppressing Ugandans. WE CAN'T AGREE MORE! https://t.co/i87JsVlEHq
My friend Prof. Solomon Ochwo Oburu slaughtered a goat for our visit. For those Americans who aren’t familiar with #Uganda customs, this was a high honor. I’m deeply grateful.
Museveni’s son said he is very proud of the pain and hurt he is inflicting on former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. He must be very proud of himself, seeing this video. But as the saying goes, no one is tall enough to see the future. One day, the tables will turn and all these atrocities will be accounted for, one by one.
A few days from now, it will be three months since Christopher Goddy, a comrade and musician better known as 'King Zale,' was abducted from Kamokya. His family is very distressed, having looked for him everywhere without a trace.
As usual, the regime whose men abducted King Zale remains completely silent about his whereabouts – the same silence it has maintained about all other comrades who have been missing for several years now! We continue demanding for his immediate release from illegal detention and an end to this impunity!
Relieved to learn that Hon. Miria Matembe has been granted bail following her abduction last week. It remains a shame that Matembe, a 73-year-old grandmother with an unblemished record of public service, had to suffer this ordeal in the first place!
Remember, Matembe was subjected to this ordeal because she bruised the fragile ego of Muhoozi Kainerugaba -- the dictator's infantile son -- when she criticized him. It really takes special cowardice for an army commander approaching 60 years of old age to flex State power on a defenceless grandmother whose courage he can never match in 100 lifetimes.
More shameful, the regime that practices sectarianism openly charged Matembe with "Promoting Sectarianism."
Imagine the very regime that breathes and practises sectarianism, claiming the moral authority to prosecute those who expose its sectarianism!
We shall have to unite and find a lasting solution for these blood-thirsty tyrants!
It turns out that journalist and media personality @TimKalyegira, who has been missing, was actually abducted, held incommunicado, and is now being arraigned for charging! Simply because he's been outspoken about Museveni and his son's crimes. We got to this point because everyone thought that someone else would fix it. Hopefully everyone now realises the collective danger and the collective duty. Only then shall we be free.
Uganda's leading independent media group says it is under "military siege" after the army chief - who is the son of President Yoweri Museveni - ordered the closure of TV stations, newspapers and radio outlets. https://t.co/jcRs1i6MLK
What a brilliant move by Daily Monitor. @SueNsibirwa is everything! They’ve landed the best of the best. Bambi Sue wange, go shine. A lot of people are rooting for your success.
