Uganda Opposition Giants Meet at Parliament, Kivumbi is Here 2 bring U Details!

INTER-PARTY CO-OPERATION (I.P.C) DIALOG, Future President Reporting 4 U!


10:00 Hrs GMT ,23rd Sep 2009 right in the parliamentary conference hall are clergy men, states men, steak-holders, the voices of the voiceless from different constituencies, international diplomats, men and women of vigor, substance and stature seated down in the name of IPC, call it Inter-Party Cooperation. I am privileged having been invited back to Parliament following yesterday’s hot debate rolling on Political Tolerance and Multi-Party Dispensation as we marked the U.N annual Inter-Parliamentary Youth Debates.
Hundreds of young men and women representing there parties and universities participated. I am obliged to extend my deep heartfelt vote of thanks to the Ugandan Parliament with the support of the U.N for having organized this important extra ordinary event.


I witnessed the Public Relations Manager Mrs. Helen Kawesa alongside her team gracing us with each a blown envelope containing a minimum of US $ 5 not forgetting a heavy lunch and breakfast to all the 300 delegates. 7 (40s) minutes after my arrival People’s Progressive Party (PPP) boss/Former Minister of local Government Hon Mzee Wakazi Bidandi Ssali arrives and he is joining his fellow eagles on the main table. Amongst his colleagues is UPC Hajji Badru for Mama Miria Kalule Obote the party president who is in another important meeting; Next is Justice Forum (JEEMA) boss Hon Kibirige Mayanja, Conservative Party President/ IPC chairman John Ken Lukyamuzi (The Man) also chairing this dialog, Then Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) boss Col Dr Warren Kizza Besigye, Democratic Party (D.P) president John Ssebana Kizito & finally at the extreme right corner of the table is Leader of Opposition in Parliament Prof Ogenga Latigo In the audience are two antagonistic tables and on right are delegates from the IPC and on the left are MPs then at the lower ends are delegates still. Being the next M.P Kampala Central come 2011, I have no option than to sit with my fellow MPs. Actually I have no time but to take you directly in the proceedings of this significant dialog and I am doing journalism work in exclusion of my participation just because I want it to be drawn to you. Right now Hon Mayanja is moving towards pulpit and in many important remarks he is making, I’ll extract a few for time sake. JEEMA boss has pointed out one f the proposed electro reforms that will give women an increment in regards to the present trend in which they it becomes difficult for them to execute their duties just because they serve many constituencies in a single entire district. “In case there representation in parliament is increased then there role will be off loaded some how.” He says. “I am sure if NRM would be in opposition today the proposed reforms would agitate for but the fact that it’s in power, its double standard.” He continues. Looking the current stories Mayanja wonders how a demonstrator can be charged and sentenced over terrorism. “Unless we work together, the chance of democracy to some in this country is at stake” he laments. And how we make is making sure the next parliament may not be dominated by the NRMs. He concludes by calling upon all his colleagues who haven’t joined the cooperation to so. But just before his intellectual diplomatic address, Col Besigye in his detailed remarks has emphasized a multiplicity of issue basing on the current winds of intimidation, suppression, torture, bad governance and all forms of constitutional & human rights violation speared by the current government of president Museveni that the time is now, he must go! Dr Besigye has criticized the NRM government for harassing, arresting and imprisoning journalists and members of press alongside mental and physical torture. “ I call upon Ugandans wherever there, be it in places of worship, in there own groups and homes to remain vibrant over the different things that Museveni and his men are have to you. You must boycott all government media, all news papers-New Vision, Bukedde, Olumuri, Etop , there radio stations Bukedde & New vision, Radio West and there UBC television. You must not give them adverts nor get hold of you money from your wallets and buy there products because no body force to buy, its your own money; Stop, stop! Till when they have established and independent media. They must reopen CBS and all other Fm stations. Continue to advocate for your rights and insist on constitutional and governance. FDC boss continued to spit fire against Museveni whom he claims-he’s an embarrassment and yolk to our country. “He must go, Uganda must be free.” He insists. Still before The Man would chair the dialog, he had to deliver his written speech to House and in his speech that many have regarded as a “time bomb” he has said we have no extra time left to contain all Museveni “brutality and arrogance.” “Museveni must understand that rights, natural rights are not grunted but must be respected and protected & the same to our magnificent constitution.”
The vocabulary of CBS and other Fm stations closed by the Government has not missed anywhere; in fact he has felt like crying! He has honestly cursed Museveni and his people in government for making Uganda a failed state. John Ken Lukyamuzi wasn't’t afraid to declare in remission of president Museveni`s 1982 bush war under circumstances of malpractice exhibiting in the then elections that “if he’s not aware, we too can resort to the bush when he rigs again, I can command”

Our legal petitioners, dear learned friends, great intellectuals of the East & Central African states.
I appreciate so much indeed the services rendered by your highly intellectual brains.as legal associations in different umbrellas that comprise of Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and other Law societies, the profession you hold ranks you close like gods;
You save lives like doctors, you refund money and property beyond financial institutions, move mountains and hills like scientific arsenals I mean where necessary you can command trees to fall, forests to grow, Rivers to flow and even animals to live!Restitution, compensation, penalty, sentences and orders are all at your will, gentlemen and ladies!




My name is Kivumbi Earnest Benjamin, your comrade in the struggle from Law Development Center striving for ends to meet.
The little time you have can`t allow explore who I am in details , this profession counts much.
What has happened in our home land for the last couple of days require not my explanation for hundreds of our country men and citizens are behind bars.
A good number of them have died in police cells, more of our comrades have been abducted, tortured and to different forms of inhuman degradation.
Journalists have been arrested, some of them have been hospitalised due to security organs` brutality.
Politicians are living in tension after many of them being kidnapped yet others sermoned and cautioned by intelligence person ells including some members of Parliament!
More are yet to be arrested, tortured and jailed.
Safe houses are widely opened to many of us, God forbid!
Nationals are wailing and telling we the young generation who never saw former dictator Al Hajji Amin Dada Oume that we are back in his g gun-men to shoot`t imagine a president telling gun-men to shoot to citizen demonstrators, what a shame!
Radio stations are closed down and as i speak fear, tension, misery, anarchy,an error we Remember in African history known as "Mfeecan" has befallen this nation!Families of the victimised need to be attended to learned Friends.
As a future president of this nation, a concerned citizen, son and grandson of the region, i can`t wait for this to aggravate.I hereby seek and appeal fro your intervention, it`s stipulated as you know that in such moments like these, this profession requires one to commit him/herself in offering willingly legal services at least without a penny.
It`s under this stipulation therefore that i consider it humanitarian ad authentic to ask you join hands, get to meet together on a table of brotherhood and resolve on how to extend legal representation to over 600 detainees in police custody and government prisons.
Earlier alone i appealed to may Human rights activists and organisations around the world and good enough they are now coming out to criticise the brutality and human rights abuse.
The government of Buganda i hear is in talks with Lawyers but i doubt whether the number needed will be enough.

We must act and the time is now.
Great AfricaGreat people.

Museveni Orders Closure of CBS Fm as Uganda brazes over Kabaka –Bugerere Question.







Museveni Orders Closure of CBS Fm as Uganda brazes over Kabaka –Bugerere Question.


89.2 & 88.8 Central Broad Casting Cooperation (CBS) Radio is right now off air following the Uganda National Broadcasting Council (U.N.C) deliberately blocking it’s signals.
According to Godfrey Mutaba the UNC Director by 18:19 GMT in press realize attributes this to on orders from intelligence organs.
However highly declassified intelligence corners stress the closure to be masterminded and ordered by President Museveni

“we do not know actually why the famous ,most desired and listened radio that covers as far as North Tanzania, Some parts of Kenya, not forgeting the Central Region and online (http://www.bugandaradio.com/) is closed temporally or permanently”
We are so perplexed about what has happened following reports from other local Fm Stations about Abby Mukibi`s (M.D) of the station little acquaintance for the closure of CBS.
This come at the time when Museveni is right now with Buganda Members Of Parliament in undisclosed discourse at the State House Entebbe over matters of the Central Government interference with the Kabaka visit in Kayunga- Bugerere one Buganda`s counties this Friday-Sep-09.

A few hours back, the Katikilo (Buganda Prime Minister) Eng Walusimbi has been blocked by Grace Turyagumanawe (Police operations commander in the central region) in his attempt to cross Sezibwa river into the region for conformity of the Kabaka visit.
This has created tension, fear & Uncertainty in the minds of not only the Baganda which has aroused countrywide riots and demonstrations leading to 6 people dead by time and leaving many others injured as the security organs brutality and unprofessionalism prevailed in the different organs including the Police, Military, Black Mambas, Uganda People’s defense Forces (UPDF) as they lashed, lively fired and teargassed the angry mobs.
All shops in Kampala by mid day closed when the vendors in Kiseka market opened the riot that has spread to the rest of the country.
All roads to and out Kampala are closed with burning tires and heavy hard particles.
Some buildings in Bwaise a city sub have been set ablaze and many Asian foreigners subjected to intimidation.

Ugandans in the Diaspora and all citizens of the world must understand that the situating is now out of country and I case I would call a press conference even if I am not the president I would declare a state of emergency.
In areas I have been able to travel and rich myself within ,near and outside Kampala in the last 3 hours immediately after my three day Youth Inter Party Cooperation (IPC) Workshop that has ended this evening, I have witnessed such a situation so horrific and deadly that the international community need snot to be invited.

President Museveni stands dually warned that he is not the first president nether is he the last.
“ if you think that you`ll take this nation back to where it has been (1966) then you`re on wrong history of life, in fact time has come and behold the time is now.”
“ Can`t you pity yourself, just go back, look 25 back in your pictures and see wether you even hard sandals in your feet alongside your men in the bush war!”
I must say still that the tie has come for when if spirits and ancestors do not come for you, then the winds and storms of change will deal with you and you`ll evaporate chemically and scientifically. Not even your children will be recognized any where under the sun”
These were the words I found a mzee lamenting in one of the surbabs of Kampala.

I call upon all religious leaders in there respective denominations within the country to declare a national prayer blanket.
I call upon Pope Benedict XVI, Hindi and Bud ha religious leaders, Pastor Benn Hinn and the Muslim international leaders and all others to commit this country in hands of Jehovah Almighty God.

The A.U, U.N, A.I, E.U, NATO and all international bodies must come before a genocide sets off.

The Confidence I Have I Ambassador Olara Otunnu

AMBASSADOR OLARA OTUNNU!
Two decades not at home could mean a lot to youngsters born in President Museveni`s regime.
To those who are twenty years like me would assume Ambassador Otunnu has a lot less felt, heard or seen about his mother land in the time he has been away.
Much as that is the issue, honestly Dr Otunnu could not be stopped to cry or smile with us in all events that have happened here no matter the distance!
From where he posed, he promises to proceed. The fight for democracy, real peace, prosperity and excellent governance.
We can’t undermine your struggle out there
we can’t underestimate the power in workshops you’ve held around the world on issues that concern our country;
The children in the North and the future of all Northerners amongst other things.
We can’t forget your era as a Guild President in Makerere;
How you stirred up the movement that insured safety from the university to the hospital (Mulago)
Your high ranking job in the U N
Your continuous article and publications on line.
I mean there’s a lot.
I would like to declare to the entire world and particularly Ugandan voters for 2011, that I have confidence that your opposition strength will definitely sink Museveni to abyss.
And this nation will be liberated from the hands of the tyrants and blood thirst individuals who have no single love for there country-come 2011.
For God and My Country.
