Bobi Wine and MK exchanged jabs.

Finally, MK snapped.

For the first time, MK took on Bobi Wine on a level playing field, without SFC troops to arrest Bobi Wine.

Lacking debating skills and unable to arrest BW, he threw in the towel in frustration.

Bobi Wine 4, MK O.

By Dr.Olive (Wednesday, June 17, 2026)

Today I participated in what strikes me as bizarre and deeply concerning drama.

Lord Mayor Emeritus Erias Lukwago was moved from a torture chamber in the CDF’s basement to Kira Police.

It would seem that the Police did not protest being handed a man that the country knew to have been abducted.

Instead of arresting the people who abducted him, they bundled him into one of their cars, and drove him to Makindye Magistrate's Court under tight security.

I suppose it is unthinkable for the police to question the manner of his capture, and the horrific and humiliating treatment to which he was subjected, most of which information is in the public domain, courtesy of the culprit.

But let us get to the court session itself.

Security Gulugulu.

Cutting through Kampala afternoon traffic at no notice to get to Makindye was the easy part.

Getting through security to access court was something else.

I finally managed to squeeze into the courtroom to find that the accused had already been charged.
A frail looking Lukwago stood in the dock.

The defence lawyer told court he had not been given his client's charge sheet.
The prosecution team said they did not have it.
Yet.

But charges had been read.

The defence lawyer went into a lengthy application for bail.

He mentioned that when the Police surgeon took Lukwago's blood pressure in Kira, it was 200/100.

I started to panic.

Nobody else looked worried.

The lawyer said his client was then given a small tablet to place under his tongue. 

All this detail in open court.
I think to impress it upon the judge and prosecution that the man in the dock was seriously unwell.

I know about the tablet under the tongue.

It was very worrisome that we were all there, in a small crowded courtroom with no standing space and little air movement, in the presence of a man that should have been lying in a hospital bed.

But no, we were not done.

The lawyer described Lukwago’s medical ailments, and the elaborate conditions necessary to keep him well.

He then described the profile of the man himself.

There was not a person in that courtroom who was unaware of the larger-than-life status of the man who had until a couple of months ago been Lord Mayor for Kampala City.

Then he presented three sureties.

Two current members of parliament, with their national and Parliament IDs, and a doctor who was an MP in the last parliament.

All three are well known and respected members in society.

Then the Senior State Attorney representing the state stood up.

She insisted that the 2 members of parliament present letters of introduction from their village LC chairpersons!
Members of Parliament, carrying their parliamentary IDs.
Easily verifiable in 60 seconds by checking online – were required to present letters from their villages.

Then she said prosecution needed a week to verify the information presented concerning Hon. Lukwago’s medical condition, ‘and other matters of the law’.

Hon. Sseggona was at pains to explain – as one would explain to a dull 8-year old – that Lukwago’s condition was really critical, and that this was, quite literally, a matter of life and death.

If prosecution heard and internalized that, they did not show it.

They insisted that the man that survived torture for 48 hours, and whose last measured blood pressure constituted a medical emergency, be sent to prison on remand for a week, while they read through his medical records.

A compromise of sorts was reached at the magistrate’s intervention.
The week was brought down to four days.
In prison.

The man who was abducted and brutalized beyond description is now in prison.

The man who abducted him, brutalized him, and gleefully kept the world informed of the torture is a free man.

The Chief Justice heard nothing, saw nothing, knows nothing. Courts are running. Lawyers are appearing before judges and submitting arguments.

We are back home.

All bullies have one thing in common. They always act tough until someone stands up to them, and then you’ll be surprised how fast the little coward in them reveals itself.
Don’t fear them; a bully is just a scared person hiding inside a scary body.

LRA used to commit crime in God’s name. You too offend the law and then tell us how you are a descendant of Jesus Christ, as if to insinuate that you do all the wrong you do in His name!!

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.

We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
