From the ghetto, to a singer, then a Member of Parliament for Kyadondo East. Will Bobi Wine stand for presidency? The people power, power power movement leader has won the hearts of the youth over the years, although many criticism his lifestyle. In a video during an interview on CNN, the MP mentioned that he and his team, are considering to stand against the unbeatable president.
Singer Bebe Cool is super excited, because he seems to have some dirt on his fellow artists. On his recent Facebook posts, he threatens to expose all those that do not publicly acknowledge that they borrowed money from him. Follow the link to watch the first video evidence of Hildaman
“Yesterday i gently asked Ugandan artists who i gave the money to acknowledge it but all in vain and all that happens is Bebe Cool stole the money. Some of these musicians have even gone ahead to abuse the president. Ok. If you don’t want your video to come out,make a general post acknowledging that the money was genuinely lent to us by Bebe Cool. Failure to do so, i will be left with no choice but defend my self by releasing more evidence. ” he posted
This will be interesting. We will keep you posted as the story unfolds.
Can we say that Uganda is now at the Take off sage? That our problems of increased street crimes have been solved? Museveni on Tuesday commissioned the National CCTV Cameras Command project in Nateete. This was introduced to curb don on the crimes, especially the shootings that have taken the lives of some of the major fighters in the country.
“Let’s keep the faith. The problem of urban insecurity perpetuated by armed assassins riding boda bodas will be solved. What we needed were eyes, ears and a nose to sense them. It is what the cameras will do. Once we see these criminals, we shall get them, “ The president shared
Museveni promised Ugandans a solution to the insecurity. He has delivered
During the launch, 122 surveillance CCTV cameras were installed with live feeds around Lungujja, Old Kampala, Rubaga, Kawaala, Kabowa, Nateete, and Mutundwe . This, is an important move that we hope is a walk to our safety.
Singer Bebe Cool has over the few couple of days not been afraid to share his political view with the population. This all came up after a little feud between the singer and his fans, after they threw a bottle at him during a performance in Lugogo. The singer was accused of not supporting the population and siding with the president of Uganda. This is evidenced by his appearance among the Tubonga Nawe musicians who campaigned for Museveni. The singer has customized a shirt to show you he is for NRM.

Following the arrest of fellow musician/ Member of Parliament for Kyadondo East, Robert Kyagulanyi, many fans expected Bebe Cool to post a message in solidarity with the fight for Freedom. The singer however failed, and has recently released a song, “Nsilikamu” to chew up his fans. The singer has also continuously shown how proud he is of the person he refers to as Jaja wa Bazukulu.
Do you think artists should join the political game?
Yasin Kawuma, the former driver of singer/ MP Bobi Wine, was shot dead in cold blood during the recent riots in Arua. He lay breathless and lifeless in the car, that was supposed to be transporting the Member of Parliament around, as he campaigned together with the Independent Candidate, Mr. Wadri. This murder not only shocked the country, but brought many into tears. The president of Uganda reportedly gave to the family 20million Uganda Shillings for their loss, and our sources inform us that the wives of the late have rejected it.

On his release, and return from America, singer Bobi Wine visited the family of the late Yasin, and promised to help his children. The money, sent by the president was delivered by Catherine Kusasira, to the home of the late, to help and take care of the orphans. The family however indicated that what they need is not money, but justice for their loved one.
President Museveni has finally spoken about the status of Bobi Wine, the member of parliament that was arrested in Arua last week. He refers to the various media reports as Fake News. He says The singer/ MP has no head, chest, or bone injuries. Reads Below
PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT ON BOBI WINE
Countrymen, Countrywomen and especially, the Bazukulu.
Greetings. Some days have gone by while what President Trump calls “fake news” generators, especially the Monitor and their TV, the NTV, have been putting it out that our grandson, the indisciplined Bobi Wine, is gravelly ill, he cannot talk etc.
They were putting it out that because of their “rough” handling of the MPs while arresting them, the Security forces could have done grievous damage to Bobi Wine.
I decided to check with Army doctors because, being a disciplined Army, UPDF doctors always take precautions in such situations. Bobi Wine had already been seen by doctors in Arua, Gulu and Kampala. He has no head or chest injuries or bone fractures, they informed me.
The fake news generators and even some of the elements of the Security forces are concentrating on the stoning of the President’s car. Please, that is not the most serious problem here. That President has the capacity, either alone or in company with his personal security, to defend himself, not only against stone throwers but against any attacker.
I have done that for the last 48 years. I defended myself against Amin’s soldiers on the 22nd of January, 1973, in Mbale, against the Kenyan policeman Patrick Shaw in Nairobi in 1978, against Tabuley near Atiriri in 2003 etc etc.
The biggest problem is political leaders like Kassiano Wadri and Bobi Wine forming, or allowing indisciplined groups to be formed under the cover of elections, groups that form illegal processions in built-up and heavily populated areas, carrying stones, up-rooting side walk pavers to use as missiles, to attack defenceless women, children and other civilians.
So many women and children were similarly attacked in Jinja East, Bugiri Municipality and, now, Arua Municipality. The Police will produce detailed evidence in all those incidents. Women were raped in Jinja East and Arua Municipality. Verbal threats followed by actual attacks. This is what is called terrorism in my opinion.
All this is aimed at intimidating the majority NRM voters from turning up to vote so that the minority can win. This is on top of importing voters from other areas to vote in Jinja East, Bugiri Municipality, Arua Municipality etc. The evidence is overwhelming and it will be produced in court.
During the General Elections, it is not feasible for the opposition to use too much of these fascist tactics because voting is taking place everywhere and they are too few.
In Kampala, however, they have been doing it for a long time. Indeed, in Arua, Jinja East and Bugiri Municipality, they succeeded because the majority feared to turn up for voting. In Arua Municipality only 16,000 people out of 46,000 people turned out to vote!!
What does this mean for the pseudo-democrats of the so called “Civil Societies”, by which they mean agents of foreign Governments? How can you call this democracy when People fear to turn out to vote?
We fought for the freedom of the people of Uganda to vote freely without threats by word or action. We shall defend that. We recently had LCI and Women Council elections per village in 54,713 villages out of the total of 60,774 villages in the whole of Uganda, by lining up behind candidates.
No cheating, no violence because the People were in charge, not the corrupt election officials, colluding with opportunistic and corrupt politicians to usurp the authority of the People by having individuals elected by cheating or intimidation against the wishes of the People.
Pseudo-democrats, be informed that the game of trying to hijack our democracy by fascists and foreign agents is over. We shall not tolerate any threats by words or by actions. Enough is enough. Media houses should also stand warned. Do your mandate: balanced reporting.
These last points:
One. Throwing of stones, in close proximity in built up areas, is intention to kill. Remember, a policeman by the names of Ariong John Michael (Assistant Inspector of Police) was killed in Kampala near the Old Taxi Park by a stone thrown by those indisciplined people. How about the NRM supporters, ordinary people, who are made targets of those stones as happened in Arua, Bugiri etc?
Barbie Kyagulanyi has been concerned about her Husband’s health
Two. The indiscipline of some of these Opposition MPs was displayed in Parliament during the Age Limit debate. Instead, of arguments and logic, they attacked other MPs, threw chairs, up-rooted microphones etc. This was in Parliament with cameras and everybody watching. How about the negative results when they transfer that indiscipline to the streets and built up areas?
Three. Apart from the many injured, the property destroyed, the failure of 70% of the electorate in Arua turning up to vote because of fear of violence, the raping of women in Jinja East and Arua, we have already lost two young people, killed, in Bugiri and Arua, in the violence. The precipitaters of this will not be allowed anymore latitude of damage.
Anybody who is a friend of the young politicians like Bobi Wine should advise them that short cuts like cheating, importing voters, intimidating the voters of the other side, ballot stuffing etc will lead them and Uganda to doom. That is what the young politicians of independence thought and did and it led to disaster.
Even some of the NRM young politicians, I hear, try to emulate those evil practices of cheating. However, for them, they do not use violence. I will uproot those evils. A revolutionary politician is like a mulokole- no cheating, no lying. No killing prisoners. No mistreatment of prisoners. That is how we succeeded.
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
President.
PS: Hon Zaake escaped from police custody. The police are looking for him.
Dr, Abiy Ahmed was in the country last weekend as a special guest for the celebration of our Heroes day. He is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ethiopia, and replaced Hailemariam Desalegn about a month ago. Ahmed arrived in the country on Friday, and from our sources, we learn that he was treated to a red carpet welcome and accorded a 19-gun salute. He also managed to inspect a guard of honor mounted by the Officers and men of the UPDF and was received with a range of Ugandan Traditional Dances. During the weekend, he held various discussions with president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at State House.

THE TWO EXCHANGE GIFTS
Ahmed was honored in various ways, one of them is being awarded the highest accolade; The Pearl of Africa grand master medal at the celebration of the International Heroes day. Before he left the country, they shared gifts with the president, one of them being a designer jacket.
“Before his departure from Uganda, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and I exchanged gifts at State House Entebbe. I thank him for the colorful jacket. I also thank him for honoring my invitation and our countries will continue to strengthen our political-economic ties.” the president posted.
One of the things that has come as a shock to the country is the death of Arua Municipality Member of Parliament, Ibrahim Abiriga. He was shot next to his home, bu unknown gun men, who were apparently on a boda-boda. Abiriga’s bodyguard and brother, Saidi Kongo Bugawas also caught up in this incident, and lost his life. During the burial, in Lukudu Village, the president made known to the crowd that hoodies will be banned, since it is the major technique being used by assailants to commit crimes nowadays.
The president addressing mourners in Arua
“Those who killed Abiriga are using a simple technique of putting on a jacket with a hood…So we had a security meeting the other day, and I asked the security people; why do you allow these people to move with hoods?’ So we’re going to ban covering of your head when you’re driving…For the helmets, we’re going to require all of them to acquire new helmets with numbers at the back and those numbers must be shining at night. So no more hoods…” Museveni mentioned.
The president also said that various laws will be made against people who make noise on radio and social media. I guess we have to throw away all our hooded sweaters.
The labor day celebrations were celebrated at Sembabule district, and president Museveni made a speech that still has everybody fascinated. He commented about the recent incident of doctors striking over salary increments and improvement of their working conditions. With this, the president revealed his salary to us, as 3.6 million
“A doctor who goes on strike is an enemy of the people and he should be treated as such. I don’t want to hear that nonsense. In fact when doctors went on strike I wanted to go back to the bush but I was restrained” he mentioned. Following this, he mentioned that he is in total support of a move to bring Cuban Doctors, because Ugandan ones behave unprofessionally.

UNGRATEFUL CIVIL SERVANTS
The president was also not pleased by complaints by civil servants, regardless of the fact that they earn a large amount.
“I heard some people talking nonsense ‘if you increase the salary of the science teacher, me the headmaster, I will get a smaller pay than the salary of the science teacher. Now that is very bad for my status.’ That is his problem, status. I am the president of Uganda, I get a low pay. I get Shs 3.6 million and even the Shs 3.6 million I accepted it in 1996 because the MPs tricked me.
I was getting Shs 150,000 from 1986 to 1996…There are some public servants who get Shs 40 million, Shs 50 million but you try to challenge my authority, you will see. Authority doesn’t depend on salary, I have a low pay but I am the president of Uganda.”
The president is advising us to appreciate the money we earn.
President Yoweri Museveni today presided over the swearing-in of new Security Minister, General Elly Tumwine at State House, Entebbe. Tumwine was vetted last week on Tuesday by the Parliamentary following his appointment on Sunday, March 4.
“I urge security personnel and the public service at large to work as a team because it is the surest way to success. When you work as a team you benefit from the knowledge of others. People should contribute their ideas and ensure success thereafter. People should not be shy to help each other in terms of management”, Museveni stated.
“Our security sector needs to keep up with advancements in technology. There is nothing that the Government cannot acquire if it is important. All technology gaps must be filled.The security leadership must also keep re-orienting their staff. The security personnel must know their mission and be able to fulfill it.”
Museveni congratulated Gen Tumwine upon his new appointment and wished him well.
While addressing the nation at the Women’s Day celebrations in Mityana, President Museveni reassured the country of peace and security. In light of the recent reshuffle in Police leadership that saw IGP Kale Kayihura replaced, he stated that the force had been infested by ‘weevils’.
“On the issue of crime, we concentrated on defining terrorists in the bush. No one should worry that Uganda is in any kind trouble. But we now have criminals and murderers in town, it’s becoming a problem we have to tackle”, he stated.
He further revealed that murderers of women in Entebbe are in prison.
“We had captured the criminals but Police had been infested by weevils. Those who were murdering women in Entebbe are in prison. The ones I don’t know yet are the ones who murdered Magezi, the muslim clerics and Kaweesi”, he disclosed.
H.E President Museveni, the president of Uganda, has just announced that he is dropping his former IGP and Minister of security. This showed up in a press release on 4th of March 2018. The president decided to let go of General Kale Kayihura, and Henry Tumukunde.
These have been engaged in public petty fights and disagreements. They have often times argued over small things, hence disrupting the peace of the country. Tamale Mirundi, on several occassions warned the president about the effects of these two major people in his government.
THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE APPOINTMENT
In the statement in which the president delivered the news, he also mentiomed the replacements in these two offices. It read;
“In the Exercise of the powers vested in the President by Articles 113 (1) and 213 (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, I hereby appoint General Elly Tumwiine as Minister for Security, Mr. Okoth Ochola as the Inspector-General of Police and Brigadier Sabiiti Muzeei as the Deputy Inspector General of Police.”
This news comes as a shock, after the president had awarded Kayihura an increase in term till 2020. This, he did in May 2017. The president informed people about the reshuffle on his social media pages.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has signed the controversial age limit bill into an act. After all the bloodshed and arrests that took place in the last quarter of 2017 lifting of the presidential age limit was voted into law by parliament.
According to the director of Communication of Parliament, Chris Obore, the bill was signed into law on December, 27th.
The bill is therefore now an act before the clerk of Parliament.
“We received communication from State House about the signing and as we talk, it is before the clerk”, Obore said.
About the Bill
Legislators on December 20th, 2017, passed the Constitution amendment bill dropping the 75 year upper age limit for presidential candidates and extending the term of Parliament to seven years.
After a year marred with bloodshed, parliamentary fights and “togikwatako’ chants, President Museveni came out to address religious leaders who have taken it upon themselves to show which side they belong.
While attending prayers to mark the beginning of the New year at Rubindi Catholic Church in Kashaari, Mbarara, Museveni applauded the leadership of the Catholic church in the parish for being foresighted.
“I respect clergy whose teaching is line with that of Jesus that emphasises honesty as opposed to hypocrisy. We should also preach forgiveness because Jesus even forgave those who crucified him.” he said.
According to the president, religious leaders commend for promoting religious unity and tolerance that has nurtured harmony and development in their respective areas.
“All religious leaders should join the Government in fighting household poverty. A laity that’s economically empowered will be in a position to support religious institutions and pay tax to government, easing the work of these institutions.”
If you thought only people from a certain region get favors from president Museveni, you thought wrong.
As it turns out, Bebe cool has found the goose that lays the golden eggs because as he revealed at producer Danz Kumapeesa’s funeral, he receives monthy pocket money from His Excellency.
Bebe cool claims this was the reason he was the one chosen to read the condolence message from the presidency to Danz family.
Bebe said ” As you all know, I get most of my money from (him) and I share with my friends”
We have also seen Bebe close to other money bags like Mogul Sudhir Ruparelia so as you can see he knows whom to milk.
