THE WEAPONIZATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES BY DOMINANT POWERS AGAINST THE WEAKER STATES, AND THE PERPETUATION OF NEO-COLONIAL LEGACY:
Uganda has agreed to extradite its National, a one, MICHAEL KATUNGI, to U.S to be tried for crimes he allegedly committed there. Can U.S extradite its National to Uganda to be tried? The answer is NEVER! That's why it is not a party to the ICC protocol; because they can not allow their citizens to be tried by FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS. And, indeed, in CIVIL-LAW Countries, like France, Germany, Russia, Japan..., there are strict CONSTITUTIONAL/Statutory PROHIBITIONS against handing their NATIONALS over to foreign Countries to be tried.
Because, in essence, it is an abuse of the Principle of the SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES and the Principle of SOCIAL CONTRACT, ie, The SOVEREIGN STATE'S DUTY TO PROTECT ITS NATIONALS. More so, when such EXTRADITION TREATY LACKS THE POWER OF RECIPROCITY, ie, POWER ASYMMETRY, like we see in this case.
Therefore, Uganda must evoke what's known as the ACTIVE PERSONALITY PRINCIPLE where we ASSERT our own CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM against our Citizens for crimes they could have committed abroad. Therefore, Uganda must reject the EXTRADITION of KATUNGI to U.S, and instead, subject him to our own Criminal Trial, here. By so doing, we serve both JUSTICE AND OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
Even in the CA, some of us were against these one-way-traffic EXTRADITION TREATIES. But then, like now, our economic dependency and the never ending conditional aid and leverage nonsense, always determine the outcome!
It is therefore a shame, to extradite our National to U.S when U.S CAN NEVER EXTRADITE AN AMERICAN TO UGANDA. Doing so is a clear sign of the modern MASTER-SLAVE NEO-COLONIAL RELATIONS; where historical subjugation evolved into these, even, not so subtle systems of DOMINANATION.
SHAME, Uganda 🇺🇬!
Many Ugandans don't know this, but Chris Kiwomya remains the first and only Ugandan to play senior football for Arsenal.
The Striker joined the Gunners for £1.25 million in January 1995 as one of George Graham's final signings.
He scored 3 goals in 17 appearances before fierce competition from Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright limited his playing opportunities.
He was sold to Queens Park Rangers in 1998 by Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal bought him from Ipswich where he scored 51 goals in 224 appearances.
He has previously searched as a coach at Ipswich in 2008-2011, Notts County in 2013 and National coach of British Virgin Islands from 2021-2024.
Due to public demand let me give you an example of network corruption....
The so-called King Censor Mulenga owns King Caesar University..
Mulenga appoints Hon. Chris Baryomunsi Chairperson University Council. Mulenga appoints Hon. Tayebwa chairperson of Board of Trustees at King Caesar University.
Hon. Baryomunsi appoints Mulenga's wife (Dr. Basaza) Chairperson UCC and her sister (Dr Hibanka) boat member of NITA-U. Hon. Baryomunsi appoints Hon. Tayebwa's brother (Kibandama) Chairperson NITA-U.
This is a corruption network.
Someone may wonder how King Censor University acts as a centre of the corruption network...
You can fill in dots for details.
But I can tell you billions of government funds gets siphoned through such networks undetected.
These kinds of networks are all over the place.
You will see for example someone pushing for a budget increase for NITA-U in parliament or officials in a ministry fighting with the minister over control of projects in an authority like NITA-U? But it makes sense when you know of the existence of a corruption network....
This is #Uganda’s truth about #Ebola
A Congolese national continues to undergo treatment after testing positive.
She was linked to the first case of a Congolese man who’d travelled to the country for treatment, died and was confirmed to have had the virus.
His body was sent back to the DRC.
Health workers and others who interacted with the two cases were traced and are now in isolation- being monitored.
None of them has so far tested positive for Ebola.
There are no local infections.
Meaning, no Ugandan or person living in Uganda has Ebola.
That’s our truth.
Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te arrived at Eswatini on Saturday after an earlier trip was derailed by several neighbouring China-friendly African countries closing their airspace to his aircraft.

James Mugoya Isabirye is a Ugandan Tycoon Who Built Times Tower, NSSF Building, Kabarak University & Moi High School-Kabarak. He also constructed Mombasa road and had a site at machakos junction. James Mugoya is an engineer and a billionaire businessman.
He is the founder and owner of the famous Mugoya Construction & Engineering Limited, behind the construction of some of the most iconic projects in Kenya.
Mugoya was one of the most politically-connected contractors in Kenya and bagged several development projects during the reign of late Mzee moi. The iconic Times Towers and the NSSF Embakasi housing projects are some of the notable projects undertaken by the company.
Mugoya was born in 1950 in Eastern Uganda. He attended Uganda’s Bulyansime Primary before joining Iganga Boys. He then proceeded to King’s College Budo before later joining the University of Nairobi where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil engineering.
He graduated on October 26, 1971 at a ceremony witnessed by President Jomo Kenyatta. He was registered as Abiam JM Isabirye in a class that had 46 students. During his time at UoN, Mugoya is said to have forged a great friendship with one of Mzee Moi’s sons.
Immediately after graduation, he founded Mugoya Construction & Engineering Limited and almost immediately, he landed the deals to build the NSSF building and Hazina Estate. In 1992, Mugoya landed a tender to construct the 40-storey Times Tower building which was the tallest at the time.
The project was financed by the Central bank of Kenya (CBK) and the state. He also built Moi High School, Kabarak, Kabarak University and the Kisumu Provincial Headquarters.
In 1995, NSSF awarded Mugoya a contract to construct 265 houses in Karen, together with an administration block, a club house and a kindergarten. However, the project failed to start due to pending approvals from Nairobi City Council.
Mugoya was paid Ksh342 million in 2012 as an out-of-court settlement for the very project after he had initially claimed Ksh633 million. He wanted to buy a small town in Eastern Uganda called Busembatya.
He wanted to develop it into a city but Museveni refused. Mugoya was once arrested and charged in Nairobi for defrauding kcb hundreds of millions. Those who indulge in kazi ya mjengo say No construction company pays fundis better like Mugoya.
We want the war in the Middle East to end now. The world is tired of it. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!
How Milton Obote blocked USA bid to set up military base
