I don’t know about “being a pastor’s child” but in my world, the price of dignity can’t be suffering more indignity. A man beats you like a drum. All his friends and yours know this but they’re in the comments teething. They know he has done the same to his past 2 baby mamas; the one doing kadaama work in Saudi and the Kawempe one. He learns you’ve found a new, more financially stable man and in a jealousy tantrum, he gets together with those very friends who know the amount of domestic violence you’ve taken to constantly attack you and your reputation online and you continue taking the high road because you don’t wanna destroy his public reputation? God help me but if you pull that sh!t on me, we are both going out in a blaze! Violence is the language of peace. Speak it!!

This reminds me of the clip from Cissy Kityo, MP when she was facing corruption charges. Mr Matthew Bagonza is as close to state power as they come. Now they are taking him to the beach for transferring funds from a non-state entity (company limited by guarantee?) to his personal account. It’s a case a clever lawyer can have bogged down in legal technicalities for years. But first, he will have to apply for bail which won’t be heard until after a week or two in Luzira. Oba mazima gavumenti yaani?

Nelson Tugume, PLU and the Putinitication of Uganda’s Oligarchy Yesterday, Mr Nelson Tugume, the much maligned Boss of the Africa Coffee Park in Ntungamo, with his own media entourage in tow, made an appearance at the head offices of PLU and made a very public show of supporting the PLU boss’ Presidential ambitions with what seemed like a poorly rehearsed, hastily delivered meandering speech. In short, he ditched his former godfather Mr Odrek Rwabwogo, figuratively bent the knee and kissed the ring of the CDF, General MK who also happens to be Mr Rwabwogo’s brother-in-law. He came promising jabs or is it jobs? (See video and make your own judgement) He promised to bring investors with potential to invest a trillion dollars. Don’t ask why he never went to them for his own investment but instead raised the coffers of a poor country. He promised to support the Supreme Leader. The only promise he didn’t make was turning water into wine. The desperation was that high that he might have been tempted to throw that into the mix. Anyway, the man can talk a good game! You could easily see why President Museveni and the people who handed him billions to “teach Ugandans how to drink coffee” were charmed. But don’t be fooled by those high-sounding nothings. Mr Tugume wasn’t at PLU to make an investment pitch. He went there for a transaction. He went to buy an insurance policy for his growing, recently acquired state funded wealth. The noises from some PLU insiders had grown too loud for his comfort. A few decibels louder and he would have followed his Godfather’s right hand man, Mr Matthew Bagonza, into the basement, via a very public nude show on Twitter. That is an ignominy he wasn’t willing to suffer. Mr Tugume is anything but a fool. He is, what in modern parlance, we call a “sharp man”. He knows that in a country where the state is not only your biggest funder and protector (he moves around with armed SFC guards) but also your biggest threat, strategic alignment is how you hedge against uncertain winds. Throw in uncertainty about transition and you immediately understand the need to align with the perceived next center of state coercive power. A smart businessman needs not wait for elections when the signals are already screaming “MK Presidency”. It’s a clever hedge; an insurance policy if you’d like. The price? A few banal words, public photographs shared in endless media loops, a signing of the PLU support pledge book (See frame 2). In exchange, he receives a public amnesty via Twitter from the man himself and a pledge to protect “his investments”. As risk management goes, this is a masterclass. But this game wasn’t invented here and it won’t end here. This whole state cash bonanza has the feel of the privatization heist by Oligarchs in the evening years of Boris Yeltsin’s reign in Russia. The only difference with Uganda’s reverse privatization happening today is that unlike here where supposed investors get boatloads of state cash, in Russia, they got state business conglomerates at the price of a song. As transition from Yeltsin to Vladimir Putin happened, they quickly had to adjust. They either faced a jail cell or keep the oil wells, steel conglomerates etc in exchange for recognizing the unchallenged power of the new sheriff in town. It’s all eerily similar to our case. On December 31 1999, an ailing Yeltsin who at the time probably had more vodka in his veins than blood, resigned and chose then Prime Minister and former KGB boss, Vladimir Putin as acting President. Mr Putin went on to win an election in May 2000 and the consolidation of power started in earnest. If you are long in the tooth like me, you might recall that famous July 2000 summit where President Putin made 21 of the most powerful Russian Oligarchs “a DEAL they couldn’t refuse”. These Oligarchs who had amassed so much wealth and had turned the Russian state into their own playground were asked to drop any political ambitions, funding for the opposition and stay out of state decision making in exchange for the right to remain “temporary custodians” of their wealth, gotten through massively corrupt privatization and “loans for shares” schemes. Those who refused like Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Vladimir Gusinsky were asset stripped, jailed, exiled or died under mysterious circumstances; a suspiciously strategic high rise window here, a heart attack there serving as the quickest ticket to meetings with their maker. Anyway, back to Uganda, these “loans for shares” schemes have become mainstay. Think DEI Pharma, Atiak Sugar, Africa Coffee Park etc Any “investor” who can oil the system and ride into Mzee’s courtyard comes out with a truckload of state cash. Mr Nelson Tugume did this play just this a few years ago. He rode the coattails of the President’s son-in-law, Mr Odrek Rwabwogo, en-route to a $10 million windfall which then opened the funding floodgates for his coffee contraption or is it public finance soak pit (?) nestled in the Ntungamo hills. He “cleverly” diverted billions off of that $10 million, initially meant to serve as a funding pool for coffee exporters. He paid himself the bulk of the cash, dug up a litany of building foundations in Ntungamo, engaged a fierce media machine, sang the right patriotic songs, repeated Mzee’s favorite investment and development buzz words and he was off to the races. The soup kitchen of a welfare state has now become his personal piggy bank. Public Square unearthed a lot of that information. You can find some of it here: Anyway, with the recent political winds starting to blow in the direction of the first son’s presidential ambitions, Mr Tugume found himself in a precarious situation where sails had to be adjusted to align with these winds. What the country witnessed wasn’t really a decision rooted in patriotism and deep love for country. It was a “smart” business decision. Mr Tugume wasn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last to make it. The times, they’re interesting… Signed: #KalebuleHQ #TalkingCoffee

Dear Uganda Police Force, What do we do when it’s one of your own driving on Masaka road like a possessed maniac; overtaking in areas where it’s clearly prohibited and pushing everyone else, including trucks, off the road? If, for instance, that Sino Truck coming down in frame 2 had a head-on collision and killed your guy, would you prosecute the truck guy?

With this video that I’ve shamelessly taken out of context, I’m here to defend our OB and Minister of Justice Norbert Mao from rabid attacks by people who are saying his silence is too conspicuous at a time when the country needs all hands on deck and all voices to speak up. Kindly allow the man a safe corridor. He’s most likely doing something behind the scenes. If in doubt, remember his quiet but assured role in bringing an end to the Kony atrocities in his native northern Uganda. Never underestimate the folks who walk in silence during storms.

This is what a Former DPP (in two countries), Peter Kabatsi told the Chief Prosecutor: “any attempt by the prosecution to suppress evidence is fatal. You know that Mr Muwaganya, you’re killing your case!” He was heated. This case has taught me so much about Uganda’s criminal justice system. I can write a book or two. Anyways, just like you, I hope justice prevails and that we get some criminal justice reforms at the end of it all.

ICYMI: The Day ACP Andrew Mubiru, Director of Forensic Services in Uganda Police Forgot The Role he Played in the Katanga DNA Evidence Chain In case you hadn’t caught on, this Katanga trial will most likely be determined on whoever wins the science argument. It’s heavy on forensic pathology, orthopedics, ballistics, DNA and GSR forensic analysis. The Directorate of Forensic Services in Uganda Police Force features prominently; with their boss ACP Andrew Mubiru, the star witness. Between August to October 2024, the state presented its DNA evidence. It was before Justice Isaac Muwata. Their star witness showed up in a crisp, expensive looking suit, looking every part like the boss. He presented his evidence-in-chief, led by the Assistant DPP Samali Wakooli. At the end of it, he looked truly unfazed; a man at the peak of his powers, commanding a courtroom audience. That is, until the questions started raining in from a defense attorney tandem of young Turk, Elison Karuhanga with Bruce Musinguzi besides him, urging him to pace himself in much the same style as seasoned orchestra conductor (frame 3) Working with Mr Karuhanga was Mr MacDusman Kabega, a widely described as a wily old fox of such vast criminal law experience. At issue here was what exact role Mr AM played; was it supervisor, sample collector, analyst, examiner, reviewer or all? Mr Karuhanga went first: EK: so, the entire crime scene management in this case was done under your personal and direct supervision AM: that’s not correct Judge: it’s not correct that the entire crime scene mgt was done under my supervision EK:can you confirm that for every time you attended the scene, you supervised the activities of the scene of crime officers? AM: my Lord I’ve already answered that question (I played a supervisory role) EK: so the answer is yes? Please answer. You’re free to answer. You’re under oath and you’re free to answer. AM: I did not directly superintend over him but I supervised all the activities EK: so is the answer that I supervised the activities or I did not supervise the activities? AM: I supervised the activities of my personnel EK: my question is not your personnel. It’s the SOCO. So you supervised the activities of the SOCO? AM: including the SOCO (he’d earlier vehemently denied doing so, saying SOCOs were under a different department) EK: so, in this case, you’re the SOCO AM: no, I’m not the SOCO EK: you’re the Crime Scene Examiner AM: No, I’m not EK: You’re the analyst To this he agrees and says: I’m an analyst in the laboratory; as the DNA analyst EK:do you find it irregular for a DNA analyst to go to a scene of crime, sign a log as a supervisor, not as an analyst and then also, appear in the lab. Don’t you agree that your role in this case is irregular? AM: my Lord, my role is not irregular and it’s not unusual for experts to attend scenes of crime EK: But you weren’t attending as an expert AM: Supervisor EK: when you signed in the log, did you sign as an expert or supervisor? AM: I signed as supervisor, my Lord And then onto Mr Kabega: Now, correct me if I’m wrong. In your lab, it is your evidence that you undertake forensic examination of materials that are submitted to you by police AM: Yes MK: And you have a team of officers; an examiner, an analyst, the reviewer and a lab technician. AM agrees MK: Who was the lab technician? AM: AIP Otim MK: Who was the reviewer? AM: My Lord I’m the reviewer MK: Those are two. Who was the analyst? AM: The analyst already has been disclosed in this court, Barnabas Haririmana (Mr Mubiru had earlier said he, AM, had been the analyst) MK: And who was the examiner? AM: I doubled as the examiner, my Lord Note: To EK, AM said he’d been supervisor and DNA analyst. He wasn’t examiner. To MK, he was examiner and reviewer. AM, accused of testing non-existent exhibits by MK, also said he collected the trigger and trigger house sample, tested it, didn’t record it, left no copy. He reported A1’s DNA as dominant

Wait! What game is this state witness playing? Is he becoming a hostile witness? Is this why Justice Baguma didn’t want him cross examined on matters outside his mention of Hajji Lutale? Did he have some sort of premonition that Mr Orlando would stink up the joint? How can the state maintain a treason charge when the main witness says he was laid to build the case and the guns in issue were planted by Kenya Police? How will Mr Richard Birivumbuka and his colleague clean up this mess in re-examination?

Turns out the Late Musinguzi Garuga’s wife addressed the claims made against her by their estranged son in a recent memorial service for her late husband. He didn’t attend. That dude sued the dad and teamed up with Matthew Rukikaire who had sued the dad for decades to go after his companies. She tells the story to her husband’s political activism from the UPM days to FDC and how he and Dr Besigye sold their houses to support Reform Agenda’s work and Dr Besigye’s first presidential campaign. She also calls on Ugandan leaders to invest in healthcare, saying if it wasn’t for her seeking for care in Turkey, she too could have died around the time her late husband died. Link to the full service is here: Her speech starts at 1:33 and her other son Johnnie Musinguzi’s equally powerful speech starts at 1:16 (see frames 2 and 3 for snippets).

She tells the story to her husband’s political activism from the UPM days to FDC and how he and Dr Besigye sold their houses to support Reform Agenda’s work and Dr Besigye’s first presidential campaign. She also calls on Ugandan leaders to invest in healthcare, saying if it wasn’t for her seeking for care in Turkey, she too could have died around the time her late husband died. Link to the full service is here: Her speech starts at 1:33 and her other son Johnnie Musinguzi’s equally powerful speech starts at 1:16 (see frames 2 and 3 for snippets).

ITMS Contract: Taxpayer be Warned. The Attorney General of Uganda, Mr Sam Mayanja, SC is quoted in the press as having declared the digital number plates contract “null and void”. (NO, not those two). A careful listening to what he said doesn’t seem to align with what the press is reporting (See attached video). But be that as it may, the contract in question, whose copy we managed to get, has contract termination clauses that leave the taxpayer on the hook for a few hundred million dollars. (See frames 1-3). Now, I’m no lawyer and I certainly can’t clothe myself with the legal knowledge of the Learned Attorney General but I’m old enough to remember a similar scenario play out in the SGS case where the taxpayers lost over UGX 109 Billion. This was in 2023. In 2015, the government of Uganda entered a USD 12.5 million vehicle inspection contract with SGS and in 2017, after a process not too dissimilar to what’s currently playing out in Parliament of Uganda, Uganda suspended said contract. The taxpayer ended up on the hook for UGX 109 Billion and a settlement agreement was entered in 2023. That’s nearly $30m in 2023 USD; a neat return for the contractor, a slap in the face to the taxpayer. You can find the story here: And here: Up to this day, no one has been held accountable for that loss. Some of the same players that appeared in parliamentary committee rooms from Ministry of Works & Transport are still swinging their suits into the same committee rooms today. There’s a sense of déjà vu in the air. The taxpayers are being slow walked into yet another expensive multimillion dollar loss. This, at a time when hospitals are understaffed and short of medicine, schools are falling apart and with them, our children’s futures collectively stolen, roads are calling for repair etc It’s a proper mess.

Listening to this defense lawyer, Mr Sam Ssekyewa narrate the details of this case should make any reasonable citizen angry. Uganda Police Force is a criminal enterprise that actively frames people. -One, they falsified the age of one of the accused persons from 16 to 18 just so they could get him remanded in an adult prison for years. 2-For another suspect, the school administration, with the help of police, had him in Uganda Police Force custody on 10th Nov. The school burning happened on 11th but same police went ahead to draw a charge sheet with him being part of the accused persons. He’s been on remand to this day. 3-Forensics evidence used here by ODPPUGANDA was that the soil sample on the accused persons’ shoes matched the sample of the dormitory area. Shocker! The police provided no samples or even protocols used to arrive at that finding. If you’ve followed some forensics evidence reporting in Ugandan courts, you’ll know the state does this all the time. A question arises: if these kids went to the same school whose dorm they allegedly burnt, wouldn’t the soil sample on their shoes be similar to that of the school and dorm they sleep in? What kind of scientific madness is this? You might recall that this shoe soil sample thing was used to nail Akbar Godi but here, its use is a bit wild. We really need comprehensive #DPPReforms #EmptyTheJails

I don’t have a dog in this hunt but something doesn’t make sense here, Mr Bebe Cool. It’s very difficult for you to convince anyone that the Jolly Mutesi. #TeamPK who off the cuff, eloquently spoke to African Oxford Scholars ( see frame 1) is the same person who writes English sentences like the ones in frame 2. “I am do govt work at Rwanda high commission”…. It’s like you were chatting with a female Eddie Kenzo! I hope you have the right person coz if not, the defamation lawsuit that’s coming your way might wipe you out clean.

Joint Stock Limited, Number-plates, Security Cameras etc: Mafias Pushing an Agenda? A lot of people reacting to that parliamentary session have missed a lot of nuance. We’ve investigated this issue and while there are legitimate questions that must be asked of government’s dealings with Joint Stock Limited or any other major contractor at Ministry of Works & Transport, this really shouldn’t be one of them. When you listen to Mr Jim Muhwezi’s submission at the end, that’s where the fight is. It’s Mafias wanting a piece of the pie and being frustrated by the Russians. President Yoweri K Museveni and his team identified a challenge around security, revenue leakages in MV registration and road safety. They got a Russian company that has worked on setting up cameras and related road infrastructure in many countries. A company that’s heavy on the security front. They did some sort of contract with them that allows that company to invest in the entire architecture that underpins security and safety of person and property on the roads. The Russians invested, with the view of recovering some of their investment from speeding fines and stuff like that. This is not unusual and certainly not unlike investments like the Entebbe expressway one or the one NSSF said to be discussing with government on the Jinja Expressway. In order to operationalize this, they had to also throw in the numberplate issue, MV registration that Ministry of Works itself took from Uganda Revenue Authority and I believe MV inspection as well. Now, you might notice that each of those blocks that the President asked to be consolidated and handed to one player-for efficiency and lower cost-had a player or two. (Letter in frame 3 might give you a hint) So, the numberplate guys will fight, the guys who used to do security cameras will fight, MV registration guys will fight etc. They all have a way to access legislators, ministry officials and the press. You therefore end up with an echo chamber of misinformation and accusations of corruption and wastage of resources. To the outcomes; -Careful analysis will show you that Uganda Police Force now captures criminals faster if there’s video evidence. The President no longer complains so much about that. You might recall that when he had the Late Gen Lokech moved to Police, this was an issue he constantly complained about. That was around the time General Katumba was nearly killed by armed boda boda guys along Kisota road. That security bottleneck is clearly being solved. As an aside, you might recall that the President recently asked for firing and jailing of some guys who pocketed billions in security camera-related corruption. Dig deeper and you’ll understand why the Russians are being fought on that front. -URA is now more efficient in collecting taxes from car registration. It’s seeing an increase in this area, meaning revenue leakages are reducing. -The hundreds of thousands of boda bodas whose ownership one couldn’t trace and thus the types that were used to constantly commit drive by shootings have reduced etc You might notice that boda boda shootings aren’t so common these days; etc These are tangible wins from the President’s directive and insistence. But they won’t be spoken about because they don’t fit the agenda people wanna sell. That Ministry of Works & Transport leaders are in parliament seemingly acting oblivious isn’t an accident. These are economic fortune hunters that are likely part of the “mafias” that the President referred to in the video in Frame 2. The bungled rollout of EPS (which the President was referring to) and the subsequent blame game wasn’t an accident. It was the mafia at play. They did the same thing in frustrating the MV inspection project (SGS) and lost taxpayers more than 109 Billion. (See Frame 4). This deal messes up their bread. So, please don’t pay much attention to the noise of barking dogs. Just watch the wagon moving.

General Otafiire said the very things he said in parliament yesterday back when he gave a talk at Uganda Law Society. Almost word for word. Why have his utterances on the floor of Parliament of Uganda suddenly touched off a firestorm?

Assistant DPP Thomas Jatiko’s facial expression as the state’s key witness said he was stupid, is just comedy gold. They were cross examining him on whether there’s a primary source for the electronic evidence (audio/video recordings) he presented in court. He said there wasn’t; the same having been deleted. You might recall that recently, in the Katanga case, Justice Rosette Kania said court couldn’t accept any electronic evidence whose primary source couldn’t be traced. Not even with clear meta-data. The state essentially stopped a defense witness testifying on images he took at the Katanga residence. It was a controversial issue. This Dr Besigye/Lutale/ Oola case is now grappling with the same issue. The witness has testified on evidence whose primary source he acknowledged he didn’t have. Defense attorney: You just said you deleted. Orlando: Yes Defense attorney: Therefore, according to you, there’s no primary source Orlando: But as I stated to court, I might have forgot because I’m stupid, my Lord Defense Attorney: So, Mr Orlando, I put it to you that you’re stupid Orlando: Yes, my Lord. If you say so Justice Baguma: I will not allow that…

This is the pharmacy mafia disturbing Dr Charles Lugero who together with his colleagues (one of whom is very popular here) are building a hospital near Mulago. These are literally the same mafias who grabbed that Nurses’ land and put a giant pharmacy as you head to the Mulago Hospital gate. Rules don’t apply to them. They seem to have government officials in their back pockets.
