He is here – that is all I was saying.
Not our choice, of course. But our disdain cannot stop him. His father worked hard & rough enough to ensure son finds country thoroughly emasculated. Oh, how helpless we all look – including folks in NRM!
We better ready ourselves.

🚨UPDATE: This message goes to Gen. Katumba Wamala
Gen.Katumba wamala you been serving in various positions in government for a long period of time as a matter of fact your one of the most powerful government officials
But when will the people of Uganda to be precisely Buganda where you come from benefit from your being in government?
When they grab people’s land and demolish their houses you keep quiet why?
When they abduct people in the region where you come from you keep quiet why?
Even when they murdered your daughter Brenda Natongo, you kept quiet why?
The people of kalangala your home district are being brutalized particularly the fishermen majority of them are rotting in jail on bogus charges
In Mukono district where your graveyard is found, NEMA is going to demolish people’s houses but you haven’t said anything why?
Gen.Katumba Wamala when will you speak up for the people 🤔what will you be remembered for? @GenWamala

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.
I stand with this incredibly brave, selfless, outspoken role model of mine. The cowards after her are even more cowards than we thought. Time is coming when we will realize we have no choice but to all rise up against these shameless people.
Our prayer is that you come back safe and alive, for we know you will tell your story eloquently and boldly.
You have never failed to stand for the things you believe in. Your contribution to the democratization of our country, your unrelenting pursuit of the rights of women, and the girl child will not be diminished by the cowardly acts of your detractors.
Your name is indelibly inked in history and our hearts in ways that your abusers can only envy and therefore seek to destroy you. They may disappear you, but never your ideas. Theirs is brute hollow and backward force.
Those who ingratiate themselves with your abusers know in the deep recesses of their thoughts and hearts, too well, that you have done nothing wrong.

The offices remain under military siege following an order by President Museveni's son and military chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to shut down Nation Media Group (NMG) Uganda outlets.
A similar siege has been reported at the NTV and Spark TV broadcast centre at Serena Hotel since around 12am on Sunday, where military officials have since taken the stations off air.
Other affected outlets include Dembe FM, KFM, and The East African, all under NMG.
