False Allegations Of Torture By NUP Against Security Agencies

                                                         Alleged torture victim, Eric Mwesigwa For a while, Security Forces have noted persistent attempts by some political opposition groups in Uganda to blackmail and demonize Government over false allegations of torture by Security Agencies. These elements have embarked on a deliberate campaign to malign the Government and attempted to isolate it at Regional and International fora, as well as among the development partners using the usual rhetoric of human rights abuses and socio-economic challenges.  These evil schemes continue to be propagated through the mainstream and social media platforms and agitations for civil disobedience including the so-called “ Kunga and Tulumbe Campaigns”. These groups particularly the National Unity Platform (NUP) have overtime made it a norm to parade people with bodily defects occasioned by normal accidents to masquerade as victims of torture inflicted on them by security personnel.

WHY EAST AFRICA NEEDS THE EACOP.

There has been recent claims on a motion of resolution by the European Parliament that calls on Uganda and Tanzania to stop the development of oil and gas projects in the East African region.  However,  Uganda and East Africa need the Oil pipeline following public reactions towards the negative motives of the European Parliament. It brings back colonial times, much as their arguments have a grain of salt, I dont think the the implementers of EACOP did not conduct Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This was done and all aspects taken into consideration. And besides that, Africa at large is the least contributor to climate change. They (first world countries) are the biggest contributors-they are burning fossil fuels like coal which contribute heavily to climate change.  They have refused to stop their use, they should tackle that First, before they start extending their concerns to us. We need this pipeline as a region, we should just look at ensuring its sustainable e

UGANDA’S ECONOMY DURING AND AFTER THE LONG-TERM PANDEMIC.

  Uganda has been affected by the long-term pandemic of COVID-19 for two consecutive years. The pandemic hit Uganda around 09 th June 2019 and the numbers kept on fluctuating as the president tightens the restrictions according to number of new cases and deaths. Time reached where the situation became worse and there was a total lock down and this led to total economic shut down and people were not working. On 25 th Jan 2022, the economy fully opened, curfew ended, bars fully open and many others. This sounded like nice music to many Ugandans’ ears and were too excited. Many locked businesses opened and resumed work which improved on the economy since some taxed businesses were locked up. There were also global supply chain disruptions as a result of factory closures in china. And this negatively impacted small and medium enterprises in Uganda. Most businesses had to fight hard to get solutions for the pandemic to survive and Uganda as a country hardly got measures for the co

EXCLUSIVE: US Embassy on the spot for Secretly Recruiting and Training Youth to Cause Regime Change in Uganda

According to a leaked dossier, H.E Natalie Brown, the US ambassador to Uganda like her predecessor H.E Deborah Malac and the US embassy are on spot for recruiting and training youth in political activism to cause regime change in Uganda through demonstrations and uprisings. According to the dossier, the US mission in Uganda is running a secret operation to slowly and tactically cause regime in Uganda through mobilizing youth and opinion leaders under what they coded as ‘mind set’️ change programs. The dossier, states that the US mission disguises their activities under offering scholarship and mentorship programs to recruit youth who are trained locally and abroad in skills that can be used to exert political pressure on the government with a long term goal to cause regime collapse.  Some of the targeted members innocently fall into the recruitment trap by the US Embassy because they are unemployed. This secret plan has its roots in Obama founded initiatives like the Yo

GOVERNMENT STARTS CONSTRUCTION OF THE BKK FERRIES IN BUYENDE DISTRICT.

  During the ground-breaking ceremony at Bukungu Landing Site, State Minister for Transport Fred Byamukama said the ferries are meant to support the economic activities in the areas after their completion in 2023. The two ferries under construction (Bukungu-Kagwara-Kaberamaido, BBK) will cost Shs. 41bn Ugandan Shillings and will facilitate trade and development of districts within their destination routes by encouraging both local and foreign investors. This will ensure affordable transport for residents within three districts of Buyende, Kaberamaido and Serere where transport costs have been high making movement of people with their goods inevitable. Each ferry will consist of three decks with a minimum capacity of 310 passengers, 14 small cars and 50-tonne trucks in a single route, sheltered sitting areas, rest rooms, washrooms, adequate life jackets and a rescue boat. Ferries are part of the pledges made by President Museveni since 2000 and have steadily taken shape.
