Suspected hackers reportedly based in US have again pulled down Uganda statehouse website. This is not the first time hackers misuse Uganda government websites.

Recently they posted a picture of FDC leader Kizza Besigye seated on a stool in a rather pensive mood on the website of the ministry of works. And no so long ago the suspected hackers post a picture of Adolf Hitler on the statehouse website www.statehouse.go.ug.

A source at statehouse told one of our reporters on Wednesday that the hackers destroyed the system of state house website and it needs repair. When we loaded the statehouse website we found there the following information.

“The State House Uganda website is currently under construction. The website will be launched soon. Thank you.”

The Uganda government intelligence network has been following up suspected international hackers who collude with Ugandans to destroy government websites. Recently the hackers superimposed on the website of the works ministry the following message: “Welcome to Ministry of Hackers and Jobless Ugandans Republic of Uganda.”

We have got news reports that Parliament has pulled down it website www.parliament.go.ug after hackers penetrated into its system. The people in charge of the administration of the parliament website noticed that the hackers were in the process of posting anti president information on the website and they pulled it down.

When we got this information we tried to load the parliament website of www.parliament.go.ug and we found on it the following information.

‘Joomla! Parliament of Uganda website!! This site is temporarily unavailable. Please notify the systems administrator … Could not connect to the database server.’

This is not the first time hackers penetrate and change the information on Uganda government websites. They have been doing it before. Recently website of the Ministry of Works was pulled down after hackers posted a picture of FDC leader Kizza Besigye seated on a stool in a pensive mood.

The image of Besigye stayed on the website for several hours until the authorities in Kampala shut it down.
