MASAKA KILLINGS ASSOCIATED WITH POLITICIANS’ INTERESTS-SAYS CHRIS BARYOMUNSI.

During a press conference at Uganda media Centre yesterday, the Minister for ICT and National guidance said that it was established that some opposition MPs have always embarked on painting a negative image in the community against the government.  This is meant to indicate that the government has failed to protect its citizens hence clandestinely encouraging mass public protests to ensure the success of their missions. He further encouraged the people in Greater Masaka to work closer with the local authorities to eliminate the vice than listening to the same politicians who see an opportunity in the machete welding goons. It is noted that this is not the first incidence of a kind most especially after elections where politicians always promise plan B, C, D. the related incidences include the women killings in Entebbe, Bijambiya killings around the Kampala suburbs. The total number of deaths mounted to 28 by the time of the press and government had laid all plans of curbing the vice in

URA clarifies the KACITA planned protest cause.

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) said 125 containers are pending clearance for taxes, dismissing the figure the spokesperson of Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) told the Saturday Vision. "The Saturday Vision on 28/08/2021 reported that 700 containers of textile/garments are stuck at URA, quoting the Spokesperson of KACITA. A figure that is far from the truth," Ian Rumanyika, the Authority's acting commissioner of public and corporate affairs, said in a Sunday statement. "We are in possession of 125 containers and so far, 9 have been cleared due to the new tax regime as pronounced by the Honorable Minister of Finance Planning and Economic Development." For the current financial year, the government raised the import duty rate of garments from 25% to 35% or a charge of $3.5 for every kilogram and for textile fabrics, it was increased to 35% or $3 per kg. In an August 4 letter, Finance Minister Matia Kasaija advised that that textile fabrics and garments tha

THANK YOU MICKIE WINE; BOBI WINE BROTHER THE MASTERMIND OF LUMBUYE ARREST.                                           Fred Lumbuye Kajubi has been one of the opposition propagandists who has been involved in the spread of falsehoods on mainly Facebook and YouTube against the President Museveni and other persons of interest. Recently after he shared about the death of President Museveni, this called for a joint operation against the bloggers involved in the spread of the falsehoods initiated by President Museveni in order to ensure media community sensitization against such falsehoods against the Government officials and entities created with a motive of Government change through propaganda. Several propagandists in Uganda were arrested and this called for a reduction in the spread of the falsehoods though this didn’t stop Lumbuye from further participation in the spread of the falsehoods. With love for collaboration with the government, close sources exposed how Mickie Wine se
  FRED LUMBUYE AKA CHEMICAL ALI ARRESTED, SET TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO UGANDA. Fred Lumbuye has been one of the most dangerous and wanted propagandists who have established themselves through blackmail and attacking of government officials, institutions, persons of interest and the First Family including the President, YK Museveni. Lumbuye has participated in blackmailing the President and other persons of interest alleging to have established a spy network around President Museveni and other individuals. His allegations practically called for trouble after a couple of opposition propagandists including Lumbuye announced President Museveni to be dead. He further alleged that the First Family had converged to cover up the Presidency before they could officially announce the death of the President. This added on the counts of false allegations created by Lumbuye against the President, the Kabaka of Buganda and the Katikiro, Charles Peter Mayiga who he has continuously accused of
