This was after Waswa failed to explain why the ministry went ahead to procure motor vehicle tyres before the decision of the contracts committee was communicated to the permanent secretary.

The committee is concerned that the contracts committee did not make any decision on this matter but the documents were forged by a group of some officials with in the ministry.

Committee members Vincent Kyamadidi and Gerald Karuhanga had tasked Waswa to explain why it took him two months to sign the documents that had been approved by the contracts committee.

The mps say that it was a trick for him to delay the procurement process so he could get kick backs first from the supplier.

The mps were also disappointed that the former head of procurement committee of the ministry of health Mohammed Segonga was transferred to head the procurement unit at mulago hospital after the permanent secretary of the ministry of health recommended that he was incompetent and unfit for the job.

The critics of president Museveni’s regime may wonder why the world doesn’t condemn the increasing cases of violence on civilians in Uganda.

When video footage a couple of years back showed the US marines urinating on dead Taliban soldiers, millions of people around the world came up and  condemned the act.

According to an article attributed to president Museveni in a thesis, it is alleged that the president mistreated the corpses of his enemies. The article was adopted from “The Real Museveni One Must Know.”

It is said that in 1971 paper “the Fanon’s Theory on Violence, its verification in liberated Mozambique”, President Museveni allegedly outlined many of the political beliefs and military doctrines that would shape his military career in future. The article in the thesis, focused on the violence as a political instrument.

On page 5 and 6 of the thesis, president Museveni is quoted as saying: “This is the interpretation Fanon put on the role of the revolutionary struggle, whose highest form is armed violence, in the lives of former colonial subjects. This is what I wanted to test in one Sub-Saharan area. I used Nangade district of Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique , as my experimental area. Nangade district is in North-Eastern Mozambique. The district is inhabited by a Bantu-speaking people, the Makonde. The Makonde, according to many reliable accounts, were considered fearless and brave people…But it is worth pointing out that the imperialists, and other bourgeois confusionists, hade been spreading the lie that the Makonde were ‘the brave people of Mozambique’; that the other tribes like the Nyanjas were soft people. This was a bankrupt way of looking at things. ”

Museveni is also put in this paper that he went among the Makonde people and subjected them to brutal violence in order to prove the point that the idea of bravery or cowardice is not inherent, but rather borne of conditions to which people are subjected.

But the writer of this thesis spells it out in grisly detail on page 8 when he notes: “Hence in Mozambique, it was found necessary to show the peasants there the fragments of a Portuguese soldier blown up by a mine or, better still, his head. Once the peasant sees guerrillas holding the head of the former master, the white man’s head cold in death, the white skin, flowing hair, pointed nose and blue eyes notwithstanding, he will know, or at least begin to suspect, that the picture traditionally presented to Mozambique people  of the white man’s invincibility was nothing but a scarecrow.”

Like Dirisa Rwelekera, a 36- year-old boda boda cyclist, he is now lying in Mulago Hospital with severe head injuries, because two men hit him on the head with an object he believes was a hammer.

The two rivaling Muslim factions are the Kibuli Mosque based faction headed by Sheikh Zubair Kayongo and the Old Kampala Muslim leadership led by the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje.

Museveni says that fanning and inciting violence between the two wrangling Muslim factions could degenerate into bloodshed. So the head of state warns media houses and individual journalists that continue to incite violence among the Muslim groups saying that such media houses risk punitive action from his government.

Museveni, according to sources, says that two newspapers in Uganda, The Red Pepper and The Daily Monitor, are deliberately exaggerating the wrangles among Muslim factions and inciting Muslims to go for war.
