A few years back people in Teso sub district and Kayunga were feeding on mangoes and jack fruits to survive, but as you read this, people in Luwero, Nakasongola and adjacent districts are living on jackfruit (ffene) to be able to survive.

A couple of years back I witnessed a very sorry scene near the road branching off to Kiruhura where cows, humans and Impalas were sharing very dirty brown water at different ends of a small pond!

Then president Museveni is bent on selling off Mabira forest even without any attempts at re-forestation anywhere in the country. It seems generations to come they will say that our generation was Uganda’s Amageddon!!!!

The district LC 5 chairman of Luweero district, Hajji Lt. Abudul Nadduli attributes poverty and hunger in Luweero to laziness in some peoples’ homes. He says some of the area residents don’t want to work.

Informers intimate that MP Nabukenya when she won the parliamentary post hooked new friends and forgot most of her old comrades and friends in the Democratic Party.  The party members complain that Nabukenya was so broke at the time she contested for MP and the party members fundraised funds for her electoral campaigns. But when the MP won the parliamentary seat, she forgot the people who worked a lot for her success.

An insider in the Democratic Party intimated to us that ever since Brenda Nabukenya won the seat, she forgot the party members like Maama Deo, Issa Muwonge, Kakeeto George, Peter Sempijja and others yet it were these people who moblised groups of youth from Kampala, Mukono, Mityana and Wakiso to go to Luweero and resist police brutality.

The DP members say they are ready now to rally behind the NRM district woman MP candidate in Luweero in case Nabukenya loses the case challenging her election victory.

Today in history! It was like today when the soldiers under the Milton Obote II regime reportedly split pregnant women’s bellies.

The LC5 chairperson of Luweero district, Hajji Abdul Nadduli recalls that during that time some people had their hands and lips cut.

He also recalls that some soldiers in Obote II regime would rape women and go away without being charged.

Nadduli likens the acts of Obote’s soldiers with those of LRA rebels. He says that LRA soldiers reportedly rapped women, kidnapped people and displaced millions of others.

Uganda’s music heavy weight Dr. Jose Chameleon of the Leone Island was beaten by angry music fans in Luweero district and his nose oozed blood.

The revelers who had turned up for Chameleon’s Valu Valu concert yesterday night at Bukenya Foundation Hall in Luweero accused the singer for arriving late at the show.

When Chameleon arrived late the revelers shouted “why have you come late you man, do you want to take us for a right,” they chorused as others shouted let us lynch him this time. Chameleon who was scheduled to arrive at the show at 3: pm arrived at midnight.

The problem worsened when power went off immediately when the singer jumped on stage to apologise. One of the revelers threw an empty bottle of beer and it hit part of his nose.

The nose oozed blood and Chameleon shouted loudly that ‘boxers save me.’ The revelers broke the seats, and destroyed the lights among other items as Chameleon flew away for safety.

This is surely some good news for supporters of MP Brenda Nabukenya. The rumour we have got now is that she could be two months pregnant.

Nabukenya won the recent Luweero district woman MP by election polls. Her close pals in DP rumored to us that she could be pregnant and the man responsible if it is true she is pregnant is not yet known to the press.

We are not confirming that the legislator is pregnant. But it is only rumoured that she could be pregnant. DP insiders tell us that if it is true the legislator is pregnant, the man responsible could be one of the vibrant and loaded men in the Democratic Party.

Some of the vibrant and loaded men in the democratic Party include Deputy Lord Mayor, Sulaiman Kidandala, DP Legal advisor and Mukasa Mbidde. Our investigation team is going on to investigate whether really the MP is pregnant. Remember Brenda is not yet blessed with a baby.

The High Court in Kampala presided over by Justice Vincent T. Zehurikize on Friday, February 2, 2012 delivered its ruling for an Election appeal filed by Dr. Nabatanzi Lugudde, one of the candidates who contested in the November 21, 2011 by – Elections for the luweero District Woman member of Parliament which was won by Democratic Party’s Brenda Nabukenya in a hotly contested race.

Dr. Nabatanzi Lugudde had appealed to the High Court after losing before the Electoral Commission tribunal in her Petition which challenged the nomination of all candidates in the election. In its ruling the high Court decided that the petition had abated and it was overtaken by events after elections having been conducted.

She was advised to instead proceed with the Petition she filed against the outcome of the elections.  Meanwhile, as DP’s Brenda Nabukenya celebrates his court victory, many of her campaigners are still appearing in court on allegations by the state that they incited violence, offences which according to her are politically instigated to undermine her victory.

Four months since the elections, some supporters and campaigners still languish in unknown detention facilities. Most of those missing were Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) activists who had been deployed to canvass and protect the votes of their leader.

A whistleblower recently stated on a local radio that an activist under the names of Mwazike Gustavus Mulindwa, a youth leader and activist of UYD in Nakawa Division and employed by a prominent advertising and PR firm in Ntinda Nakawa Division who went missing since the 25th November 2011 after being arrested by state security agents during the chaos which emanated against vote recounting, had been sighted at Mulago National Referral Hospital in a poor health condition and very dirty clothes.

It was also later reported that Democratic Party (DP) leaders with assistance from Development partners and International democracy support partners smuggled him out of the Country for post traumatic psychological support and better medication inNairobi,Kenya.

Mwazike Gustavus is one of the youth who were never produced in courts of law and police has failed to respond to the complaints by DP President Norbert Mao and other Democratic Party Youth Leaders’ calls for release of all political prisoners believed to be detained in ungazetted detention centres which the state uses to torture political activists.

A medical worker at Mulago Hospital who feared to be disclosed for fear of being witch hunted by the state security intimated to our informers that it is so common these days for state security agents to dump their victims at the national referral hospital when the victims become so weakened by the various modes of torture inflicted through electrocutions, beatings, use of snakes, crocodiles among others.

We shall continue this series of reports regarding new details on the missing activists of the opposition as many more are now considered missing due to the Activists for Chance (A4C) events across the country.

A source in the accounts section of parliament told our news desk that Brenda, Mwiru and many other MPs are aware that the money have reached their respective bank accounts but they are under instructions not to reveal it to the members of the public.

The same source also told us that by the end of this week all MPs will have received their facilitation for facilitating them acquire vehicles. Each MP has received 103 million shillings for the purchase of vehicles.

The vehicles are to help MPs reach in their constituencies. The MPs who were in previous Parliaments would be the last ones to receive the money. Sections in FDC and DP have supported their MPs to receive money to buy posh vehicles when most families in the country hardly receive super.

Late Kadugala died yesterday at the age of 140. He was born on 12^th January 1872. Kadugala has been one of the most influential members of his clan, village, Sub County, county and district. At the time he met his death, Kadugala could remember well the date, month and the year he was born. He could also tell his neighbours stories of how the British colonialists grabbed Land in Africa, violated human rights and divided people in Africa (Uganda) along tribal lines.

Mr. Kadugala, a resident of Kibula village in Luweero district, Bulemeezi County, in Buganda kingdom died in a night fire that gutted his house in which household property worth millions of shillings was lost.

The police detective on the scene told the press that the fire that ended the life of the oldest man in the world was started by the cigarette remains the deceased had reportedly lit.

Joseph Musoke, one of the grandsons of Kadugala described the deceased as the father of history and the nation whom Uganda, Africa and the world at large have lost. Other people have described Kadugala as a hero and that if the dead could raise Kadugala would have risen up and say good bye to his people. As it is known that African governments rarely respect old people, none of the government official has laboured to come to console the mourners yet the deceased has been a resource to many Ugandans.

Police spokesman Asuman Mugyenyi has warned Ugandans against getting involved in activities of false prophets.

He says many people have lost their money and lives under the activities of false prophets who disguise as born again pastors.

Mugyenyi says that some witchdoctors camouflage as pastors and discourage the sick persons to shun hospitals. In the process some lose their lives.

 His remarks come after a 26 year old man who yesterday collapsed dead inside Christians of Deliverance Power Church in Luweero district.

The church is led by so called prophet Steven Yiga. The police identified the deceased as Isaac Lubega, a resident of Namukago village in Nakasongola District.

Lubega according to the doctors’ report was suffering from malaria and the false prophet lied to him that he was suffering from demonic attacks.

However many people in Uganda and across the country have asked Museveni where he did not recognize his rival Col. Kiiza Besigye. Besigye was President Museveni’s personal doctor during the bush war.

 Kagame would receive his medal during celebrations to mark the 26th National Resistance Movement’s anniversary in Kapchorwa District. The venue for the event is Sebei College Sports Grounds.

 Kagame will receive two medals: the Pearl of Africa medal and the Luweero Triangle medal. This is because Kagame was among the original 27 fighters Museveni started the war with. Museveni and his guerillas topped the government of Gen. Tito Okello Lutwa on January 26^th 1986.

The theme of this year’s NRM cerebration is ‘Uganda, theLand ofOpportunities: NRM’s Contribution during the Last Half of the 50 Years ofUganda’sIndependence.”
