In the story Family Rule In Uganda: How The Museveni Clan Runs Government in our Issue 050 of The Independent, only a small list of the president's relatives in government was mentioned in the story. In this issue, we publish a bigger list of relatives and in-laws around the president or in high government positions.

IN THE POLITICAL WING

Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho a.k.a Salim Saleh: He is President Museveni's younger brother. Saleh is a retired bush war hero who still holds much influence in the military and security. Until last month's cabinet reshuffle, he had been Minister of State for Micro-finance. He is now a senior presidential advisor on defence.

Janet Kataha Museveni: She is the president's wife, MP for Ruhaama County and also Minister of State for Karamoja Affairs. She wields a lot of influence among NRM MPs in Parliament. She has recently been stepping out of the shadow of her husband. During the Temangalo land scandal, she demanded Security Minister Amama Mbabazi's resignation or refund of the Shs11 billion irregularly taken out of NSSF coffers by the Mbabazi group.

Maj. Bright Rwamirama: He is the State Minister for Agriculture in charge of Animal Husbandry, and also MP for Isingiro North. Rwamirama is a cousin to Museveni and although the two had bitter disagreements especially after Museveni ordered his arrest in the early ‘90s on allegations of causing financial loss to the army, they are still close. He was at the time financial controller of the NRA now renamed UPDF. The two have since reconciled. Rwamirama is said to be very rich and wields a lot of influence in Isingiro district.

Shedrack Nzeire: He is Museveni's step-brother. He is currently involved in youth mobilisation at State House although his docket is not very clear. He contested for the Nyabushozi seat in 2001 parliamentary elections and lost narrowly to Mary Mugyenyi. He has his eyes on it again, come 2011.

Miriam Karugaba: A sister to the president, she is employed as an administrator at State House.

Faith Katana Mirembe: She is a cousin to President Museveni and is also employed as his assistant private secretary in charge of Education and Social Services.

Amelia Kyambadde: She is the Principle Private Secretary (PPS) to the president. The grand-daughter of Maj. Murari Kafureka, a former airforce officer during Amin’s regime, she is related to the president through Sam Kutesa. Her cousin (their mothers are sisters) Albert Muganga marries Kutesa’s daughter Ishta who is a sister to Charlotte Kutesa, the wife of President Museveni’s son Muhoozi.

IN THE MILITARY

Lt. Col. Muhoozi Keinerugaba: He is the president’s eldest son and is currently the commander of Special Forces under the Presidential Guard Brigade. He has gone through accelerated promotions to reach his current rank. His influence in the UPDF is palpable, with officers aligned to him emerging at the helm of the army over the last few years.

Maj. Sabiiti Magyenyi: He is a cousin to President Museveni and hails from Mbarara district. He is currently the overall commander of the elite Presidential Guard Brigade. Sabiiti is said to belong to the young generation of educated professionals who joined the army because of the Muhoozi influence. He abandoned his PhD in Bio-chemistry studies at a UK university to join the army. His star is rising – fast.

Col. Kateera: A cousin of Janet Museveni, he is currently second in command at the Gulu-based 4th Division. Kateera once served in the “lucrative” finance department of the army. He also served as the intelligence officer (IO) in PGB.  Â

Lt. Allan Matsiko: Is the Counter Intelligence Officer at State House. He is a brother to Albert Muganga, Amelia Kyambadde’s cousin, and also husband to Sam Kutesa’s daughter Ishta.

THE IN-LAWS

Maj. Gen. Jim Muhwezi: This bush war hero and Rujumbura MP is an in-law to the Musevenis; his wife Susan is a cousin to Janet Museveni and also acts as the Senga to Museveni daughters. Muhwezi publicly fell out with Museveni over the GAVI and Global Funds money.

Susan Muhwezi: Not only is she wife to the powerful and rich Maj. Gen. Muhwezi, she is the presidential assistant on the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA), a programme of the US government to encourage African countries to access the American markets. This project is currently under State House, but has terribly failed.   Â

Justus Karuhanga: He is a cousin to Janet Museveni. He is a legal aide to President Museveni. This young man in his early 30s replaced Hussein Kashillingi when the latter left State House after allegations of abuse of office last year.

John Wycliffe Karazaarwe: He is a cousin to Janet Museveni and is the Ntungamo district chief. He has dominated this district since it was carved out of Bushenyi and Mbarara in the early 90s.

Sam Kutesa: Currently minister for Foreign Affairs, Kutesa is the father-in-law to the president’s son Muhoozi and an in-law to President Museveni himself. His late wife Jennifer was a cousin to Janet Museveni.

Brig. Henry Tumukunde: Until recently, Tumukunde enjoyed all the trappings of the family rule. He is married to Stella Tumukunde, a cousin to Janet Museveni. Although he is now not on talking terms with his former boss, pundits say that Tumukunde is under rehabilitation and sooner or later he will bounce back. He once headed the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) and Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI).

Elly Rwakakooko: He is a cousin to Janet Museveni. Rwakakooko was at one time commissioner-general of Uganda Revenue Authority, managing director of Uganda Commercial Bank which was later sold to Stanbic Bank. He was also chairman of UCB. However, he seems to be currently out of favour with the first family; he holds no public job.

Moses Byaruhanga: He is the all-powerful presidential assistant on political affairs. He is married to Janet Museveni’s cousin. Byaruhanga is not a mere presidential assistant but a king maker in this regime. Vice President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya once confessed how it was Byaruhanga who made him what he is today; that all his political fortunes were because of Byaruhanga. Most people who are offered political office in President’s Office or State House, first get Byaruhanga’s endorsement.

Hope Nyakairu: She is a cousin to Janet Museveni and is under-secretary for finance and administration at State House. She is in charge of the money and those who work in State House say she wields more clout than the State House comptroller Richard Muhinda.

Jolly Sabune: She is a cousin to Janet and is the long serving managing director of the Cotton Development Authority. The cotton sector has crumbled under her watch. She is virtually inaccessible by the public, brooches no media interviews and has no apologies for that.

Natasha Museveni Karugire: She is President Museveni’s eldest daughter and is currently a presidential assistant in charge of household at State House, Entebbe.

Dr Joseph Ekwau: The son of Museveni’s sister, Dr Violet Kajubiri, is a presidential advisor on veterinary issues.

Alice Kaboyo. Until recently when she was embroiled in the Global Fund money scandal, she was a presidential assistant in charge of youth in the President’s Office. She is a cousin to Janet Museveni. Â

Richard Kabonero. He is the elder brother to Bob Kabonero, the Kampala Casino honcho. He is a cousin to Janet Museveni, and currently Uganda’s ambassador to Rwanda.Â

Jimmy Karugaba: He is husband to the president’s sister Miriam Karugaba (therefore Museveni’s brother-in-law). He is the officer-in-charge (OC) of the accounts department at State House.

IN BUSINESS


Edwin Karugire: He marries Museveni’s eldest daughter Natasha. He is into real estate and handles many government contracts. He handled the sale of former assets of Uganda Railways Corporation and was also part of the legal team privately hired by the State to prosecute FDC president Dr Kizza Besigye in the PRA treason case in 2006. The Karugire team was paid Shs2.5 billion.

Odrek Rwabwogo: He marries Museveni’s second daughter Patience. While he has no clear government appointment, his public relations company, Terp Consult, has got many lucrative contracts from government, the most prominent being the US$1 million ‘Gifted By Nature’ CNN marketing campaign. He also was awarded the 2007 CHOGM communication and publicity contract which he handled with Saatchi & Saatchi company. His wife Patience runs a high class Pentecostal church called Covenant of Apostles of God, at their Buziga home in Kampala.

Geoffrey Kamuntu: He is a son-in-law to Museveni (married to the president’s third daughter Diana) and owns a procurement firm that does consultancy work for the oil explorers in the Albertine region. He is alleged to have key interests in the Heritage Oil Company, one of the companies doing oil exploration in the region. He also benefited from the Butabika Hospital land bonanza (giveaways).   Â

Bob Kabonero: The Kampala Casino proprietor is a cousin to Janet Museveni. Bob has many businesses in the country. He recently won exclusive rights to import dry cell Tiger batteries from China, in effect throwing out any other importer in Uganda. Traders almost went on strike over the deal.  Â

Hannington Karuhanga: He is the chairman of UGACOF, a leading coffee exporting company and a director in Stanbic Bank. He is cousin to Janet Museveni.

Don Nyakairu: He is the corporation secretary of Uganda Telecoms Ltd and marries Janet Museveni’s cousin Hope Nyakairu who is the under-secretary for finance and administration at State House.

Albert Muganga: He is related to the president’s family through marriage. Him and the president’s son Muhoozi marry sisters (Ishta and Charlotte respectively), daughters of Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa. Their mother, the late Jennifer Kutesa, was a cousin of First Lady Janet Museveni. He is in import/export business and in 2008 his company Kenlloyds Logistics was awarded exclusive rights to manage the country’s oil reserves in Jinja. The contract was cancelled after protests from big oil companies like Shell, Caltex and TOTAL.

Jovia Saleh: A wealthy business lady, she is wife to Gen. Salim Saleh, the younger brother to Museveni. She is into real estate and a host of other businesses. She was implicated in the UN Congo Report by the panel of experts investigating the plunder of DR Congo resources.

Kellen Kayonga: She is the younger sister to Jovia Saleh and therefore a sister-in-law to Gen. Saleh. She is an accomplished business lady; she recently won the lucrative deal of exporting security guards to the troubled Iraq through a security company, Askar. There has been a lot of criticism about her deal by many of her employees claiming that her company is creaming off the larger chunk of their earnings leaving them with piecemeal payments at every end of month.

You seem to know something about genocide. Well I will have you know, Genocide didn't rare its ugly head because the seating govt was running the affairs of state fairly.
"To rule a country of a thousand chariots, there must be reverent attention to business, and sincerity; economy in expenditure, and love for men; and the employment of the people at the proper seasons."
M7 has lost the plot.

President Museveni must be wondering what the hullabaloo is all about: in his culture when you are in a position of authority or if you have things to dish out, you consider your immediate family first. Then you turn to the close relatives followed by distant relatives. When those have been taken care of, you turn your attention to your clansmen, then villagemates. When none of the foregoing has been left out, you consider your tribesmen. Other lesser mortals like Ugandans from the greater West, the North, Buganda and the East, can wear dry banana leaves (essanja) and dance before you for whatever crumbs are left over. Mzee abeewo!

Had my Sec Educ with two of the boys mentioned obove. To them 1+2 was 5,past tense of GO was GOING and 1973 was the yr Ug got Independece and its unbelievable the pstns they hold in our mighty Rep of Ug.When and where did they attain the q'cations to hold such positions?Nowonder they used to remind us that they would be spending their Hol's in RE-HOUSE(State h'se) thus we had to nickname those guys from the Bahima clan RE-HOUSE.
I can now understand why the rest of the Country hates the B'nkole and personally have been at the end of some of the anger.One that still gets replayed in my head from 7yrs back and '000s of miles away from our Ug is (OMANYI MWE ABANYAKOLE SENTE ZAMWE MWAMANYIRA ZAKUTURUGUNYA NA KUBBA BANTU) It still hurts!
Now as a born and bred Munyankole,i want everybody to understand that all the obove mentioned people hail from Kiruhura distrct and 2 counties in Ntungamo and Rukungiri and one who migrated to Isingiro which constitutes around15% of B'nkole(Editor collect me if iam wrong).Just because we speak the same language doesnot mean we have all participated in the looting and mismanagement of our mighty country.Clue of how you can make the difference btn the 85% and 15%.The 15% got long Noses,Lazy and faces similar to those of our neighbours In the S-East of UG.As for the women easy!!!Always pretty faces,Shapeless Bums and Legs.
As a M'nkole am scared for the future.If change comes knocking on the door the innocent 80% will definately suffer but then as someone from Bushenyi can we cope with any change?YES WE CAN.We always change with change.4/8 toothless MP'S from our District are in the 70 useless cabinet which is 5.7% not bad for one Distrct out .....(sorry i don't know the no of Dstrcts in Ug hope they are less than 100)

For example it would help Ugandans if you explained how Hannington Karuhanga benefited from the sale of Coffee Marketing Board or how Bob Kabonero has benefited from government contracts, or how Bob Rukari and Amproc cheated govt with the help of Rwabogo or how many of these people had contacts in CHOGM etc

You see the problem is that Museveni runs the country like his personal business so put it like an extension of his Rwakitura or Kisozi Farms. Like common practice in Uganda when people open up businesses, they tend to employ relatives as cashiers, porters, house helpers, waitresses, etc. Where & when were all these positions advertised???? Govt of Uganda belongs to and serves Museveni. Put it this way...Bukenya is his Farm Manager, UPDF his herdsmen and 60% of Parliament his shamba men/women. Ssekandi chief herdsman

On my last count, I see the article lists ONLY 34 names. Now correct me if I am wrong, but is this not negligeble compared to the total number of jobs available both in the public and private sector in Uganda today?
Or should there be a law passed that the relatives of an elected government official have no right to be employed or deployed in the country whilst they are still in office. that should check all the influence peddling.

I do not understand what I am hearing. I knew Banyankore to be nice, lovely, and welcoming people having visited Ankore in the late 70's and early 80's as a student. I remember being welcomed in neat huts laid with grass and offered some drinks in honor of their guest from Buganda. I would laugh with the Banyankore folks for I loved their humor. When I hear and read about the bitter feelings against this ethnic nationality, I am really troubled. What is happening in Ugfanda?

This is confusing. Now that Museveni is the head of state all his relatives should not do business and hold public office? You gentle men you are funny. This should not take you a day of thinking about Museveni's kins men. Looks like you want whoever is connected to the president to be a beggar.

written by kibobo, March 29, 2009
I would like to caterogically dent you Menda. much as yo publish these stories, please also tell us about your family tree.You are a close friend to muhozi, and i remember the days that he used to visit u in lumumba. Where is your family?, most of them are enjoying the cake. Yes museveni has mistakes but give him also his credit,if i were him i would reduce on the family cake. People african politics will always be the same. Besigye would do the same thing, look at her fighting with kamya. Mwenda,this family tree u published ,some people are not even members to this family. publish ur tree first...

And we still think that we are Ugandans, that this country belongs to others, that there is merit? Using guns, an arrogant ethnic sub-group grabbed it and decided to steal as much as they could. Now they are reaping. The rest of us who believe in merit and freedom can go elsewhere.
Plus, no one should worry about Mwenda. He's doing a good job but only because he was rebuffed and failed to join the clique. He's a disgruntled hypocrite doing a good job.

Now I have an even better suggestion to end all this "family and friends" corruption aka nepotism, and this I as Emperror decree as a law effective immediately:
All relatives and friends of elected persons shall hence-forth cease to hold any government jobs, nor can they deal directly or indirectly in government awarded contracts and projects. Any of the friends and family who obtained jobs with government before their relatives became elected, shall be deemed to have got their jobs through nepotism and influence peddling and shall be summarilly executed.
Given under my hand this day of our Lord.
Now thats the last I want to hear of that.

Dear Mugisha,
I thank you for your art. but at the same time I wonder why you doubt so much how those boys could end up in such offices considering the competencies you name. I think this is only more an envidence of what kind of family that one is. We have been told now and again that Janet the girl friend to the president has no brains at all to handle a book. Her history ha been traced from far to show us that this girl is actually less talented (books) She has tried so much to gain intellectual hights but this is still questionable. She is been at the University but again failure, we hear. Her teaching practice has not been effected as per the schedules of that education. We have seen issues being raised that education transcript have been fordged here and there and that a need to make new which cant be fordged is on the way or now finished. I think we should start with the Museveni family transcripts to find out if these are real. When you consider M7 himself, you are aware that this guy has a lot do to have a transcript, Lets go down to The first son, thisis a king in failing, he has a reputation of being (sorry)Silly for anything. Now the daughter what do they have to show up.
Mugisha birds of the same feather --------- together. You can be sure of finding some dirt of all these people. It is a less intellectual family, and besides I dont think M7 like peole who are brighter than himself as he has nothing to show up. The brighter one will always go fast. Mayombo is out

Moles like yourselves should have remained below ground like your RODENT counterparts because you still are blind to the real cost of a disfunctional govermnet.

It's been 22 years at least we are progressing slowly and heading north. He has tried not to sell Uganda to Western countries. It's not a joke to run country we common people can't even run our house properly. If we get new President how sure we can be that he/she will be better then His Excellency.
It's high time we should STOP this " BLAME GAME " and join hands to bring UGANDA to NEW HEIGHTS.

I agree, running for President is no easy job, let alone the expenses that go hand in hand. I also agree that there is no better candidate to replace Museveni at the moment. However, for those of you that are simply living in the past with Museveni's accomplishments, should take note of the future. Being commander and chief for so long has made him progressively drunk with power. He has established himself and his family in the government, to secure their own future. We are a young nation, a troubled one, but a country that im proud to say "im from Uganda". Like many of us, i want to see more results, more success, more opportunities that can better the Ugandans of tomorrow. It is not that Museveni is useless, its the fact that when you cut a cake, you cut it in even pieces, who likes to be the person that gets the smallest piece?

If we had a million people with that kind of behavior then we would certainly need an angel to put things right in this country. The least i can say is that you are a disgrace to civilisation!!!!!!!!!

Andrew Mwenda, your hate campaign is taking us no where. Your failed relationship with the first family is overrunning your capacity to think thru issues before putting them in the public domain. The perpetrators of genocide in Rwanda ended up paying more than they envisaged. I have always held you in high esteem because of your level of debate but this article has shown me that you are just prejudiced and malicious. Hatred has brought so low.

Guys; this article says a lot about the poor state of affairs mostly characterized by the majority third world. It's sad but believe me, whereas i am not the biggest support of President Museveni, he has done a terrific job with bringing peace to the vast majority of our country.

It is so sad that this "gentleman" called Kaguta, in one of the above articles, calls our President such horrible names. President Museveni is our leader and he deserves his respect as such.

I've lived in the US for sometime, and seen a lot of people who don't like Bush or Obama; but NO ONE throws such abuse on their leader. Please have some respect!! Museveni has had challenges and he may overstayed his welcome, but he has instilled discipline in the army (remember those days of "funguwa mulango" at 5:00am?) How short our memories are??

Lets all have a mature debate here, and give constructive criticism.

Steve, what are you talking about? Museveni and FRONASA were Uganda's trouble makers/murderers!! He DID NOT BRING ANY PEACE to Uganda!! I am over 50yrs old and I have seen the troubles of Uganda. In the North, there has never been any peace since the 1960s when the Banyarwandas arrived in Uganda. Museveni and his tribes have been at it since then.
Give a little credit!
written by Steven K, April 18, 2009
Hi Jane; thanks for that reply. Thats what i call disagreeing in a mature manner, and not calling names, and throwing abuse at our leaders no matter how much you dislike them.

Like i stated, i am not the current president's biggest supporter, but i give credit where it's due. I know that northern uganda has seen no peace for over two decades, but you should agree with me that not only has the rest of thecountry been relatively peaceful; but the Sudanese gov't had a lot to do with the northern ugandan problem, right?

I am about ten yrs younger than you, but my parents are much older than you. They tell me, like many other older people; that even though the current regime has had it's fair share of challenges; it' has preserved a little bit of respect for the majority of the population, in comparison to Idi Amin and Obote 2.

It is inconcievable that a group of sane pple can hide in bushes *****, stab, suffocate, behead, strangle, deform, denature & dehumanize tens of thousands of Ugandans in oder to access power and sideline the surviving orphans, loot all the national investments and deliberately disempower successive generations while at the same time expecting to build a sustainable ploitical order! The whirl wind may never spare them not even their ill-gotten wealth abroad. That time surviving Ugandans shall pay themseves their investment, democracy & human rights arrears.

From the article above, any upright minded Ugandan will tell that Mr Mwenda is experiencing a deficit of ideas. All he can sell to the public is war and divisionism. Why not step down as a writer and do some other business that keep you and Uganda standing?

written by Gangala, April 19, 2009
I have carefully gone through the list of the "powerful" mentioned in Andrew's article and come up with quiet a number of observations:
1. Most of the people in power are related to the first lady- hope all can see this through the mirror i am doing so from.
2. The few most immediate relatives of the President are not quiet "noticeable" in their positions.

The above therefore gets me to a point i was driving at being, IS THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY IN CHARGE OF APPOINTMENTS? or have they been delegated to the first lady who has filled positions with members of her family?
Could this therefore be the reason the President appointed her as Karamoja affairs minister, since she seems to have been meddling? so many questions though one answer comes to mind which is that i do not think the President knows or cares what is going on or he in actual sense is not the one pulling the strings but the first lady.

Hi Mwenda,
Does the writer suggest that the presidents relatives should all be poor and illiterate or does he suggest that those mentioned are the only succesfull Ugandans?

Does he suggest that those relatives of the President should not get employed or engage in profit generating projects just because they are related to the president?

The writer mentions only the rich and powerful, am sure there could be others in the family tree who were no that fortunate to make it. Why havent they been mentioned if the intention was to list down members of the Presidents family tree?
Read from u later !

Hello Jane.
You talk of lack of peace in Uganda allegedly since the arrival of Banyarwanda in Uganda in the 1960s. What did they have to do with Obote' s government in power then? Are u shifting Obote' s responsibility to them? You can never use them for skipgoats as was the case before the 90s, sorry. But it was good on one hand though as it inspired them to struggle for there rights ie returning home from exile.

Thank you very much for the entertainment. I see this as such because by wanting to discredit this family and show us their wrongs you are putting a lot of power in their field. I understand it is frustrating but it is a fact in African politics that family comes first before state.
So as long as we live and be Africans who put ourselves first even the next one will do exactly the same and i mean even you Mr.Mwenda you will succumb to the temptations. It is easy to see the spot in someone else's eye.

turn to God
written by mjm, April 28, 2009
guys, why dont we get serious and concentrate on how we should we live. try these:

1) pray to God everyday to help you make sensible decisions
2) always look out for an opportunity thats around and utilise it maximumly
3) look out for people to help you succeed in life and to advise where you cant handle
4) always work for unity and be mindfull of who you want to make friends with
5) you should have a helping to the needy.

otherwise if we continue writing this about the leaders we are not to reach any where.

the bible says leadership comes from God, and its God who knows the end from the begginig, this idea of bringing someone down is not the way forward to a peacefull and happy nation.

comrades. lets join hands to see that we build a better nation.

lets contineously pray for this nation, its only God who can help these stories cant help.

stay blessed and pray for one another.

The Banyankore say 'Owayehanika tibamucurira' meaning, you do not waste your tears to mourn he that has hanged himself. These guys are simply hanging themselves why do you care to loosen the noose. I believe Mwenda is their best aide. A few of us had chosen not to raise a finger about this issue because we knew they were picking ropes to hang themselves.

Where are the Amins of this world after 30 years. Mwenda don't interrupt history. Oh sorry, that is your job to prompt us. For us who come from the region know exactly which homestead is 'raping' uganda and when time comes, we shall easily point them out. We also know which homesteads have sons and daughters that have simply toiled to be where they are.

:arrow:

Yes, the article is spot on. it shows the many faces and hearts we have, not forgetting the s****s we possess.

My intuition is clear and i do not have sentiments attched to the article nor any justification whatsoever but JUSt an overview
1. I wonder are these the only employees of state house, i guess no, is it wrong for the president to assign duties to trusted competent fellows? My guess is like yours, so many Ugandans are employed by state house and not all are from the Presidents family, therefore we should think proper and objectively.

2. So many jobs exist which are more paying than those in state house, you can go for them. State house is not an end in itself for every one we should explore avenues beyond.

3. The level of journalism we exercise should be geared towards development not personal attcks to people or the person of the president, it is really disheartening to behave in such a manner.
Various crisis are evident in the world we can write and educate people about them.

we need improvement in the way we percieve things. Let this writer bring out all the list of employees of state house and we see whether its only the Presidents family that is serving this country.

Thank you

For God and my country

For the record, let it be told to all and sandry that all the individuals mentioned in the article save for business people like Jovia & Kellen are proffessionals with a minimum academic qualification of a bachelors degree. Close to 60% of these people have Post graduate qualifications. So Kwanzi these are qualified Ugandans who have equal rights like any other Ugandan to hold any public office.

My simple question to the fault finders, Are the above mentioned posts the most lucrative and the most powerful in Ug? Who occupy the others? Someone has to come from some part of uG, BORN BY SOMEONE, STUDIED WITH SOMEONE, ATTENDED A PARTY WITH SOMEONE, SLEPT IN SAME HOTEL , COME FROM SAME DISTRICT ETC.

ugandans are also getting interested to know who really these people are not because of jelousy but because of the crisis in the country. yet others chant no change.

so those exposed show us the merit criteria which was followed in order for you to become who you are today in the museven kitchen or chimney. if not cousin criteria, inlaw etc

Important For Uganda
written by Terri, July 22, 2009
Ugandans if you read anything, read THIS. There are thousands of countries growing, while we sit in the dark. When Museveni steps down lets us pick fairly the president we should have; no war, just democracy. Because if we can do this we can BE a world power. Lets set a goal right now to be the richest and most powerful country in Africa and then in the world. We can do this, do not let anyone tell us otherwise. We are Ugandans. Do you know where the first human being was found, yes, in Uganda; do the research and you will find that Uganda long ago was a powerful nation, filled with unity. Why should we ignore the past. Let us embrace each other in whatever we do.

:?: Mwenda how long did this family tree take you to bring it together? If you could calculate the time you used i think you will later realise how you are a time waster. If you were given the opportunity to marry the first family's daughter as you were in love with one of them would you be printing out these undeveloping, unconstructing articles? or you would sit back and enjoy your opportunity? I also ask how this family tree is benefitting us as Ugandans because we already know MWENDA of this family tree and you taking your ample time and printing this is a waste of time on your side. But as i see all this its just you trying to use the public to fight your battle you lost with the first family and you are doing all that it takes to exppose them good job i would say, but a true man with pride and honor doesnt put his battles and exploit the minds of innocent people to feel sorry for him. Mwenda, write about things that are affect us that are pressing us, i wont out line them cause you know them but me knowing the first family's tree and who has this office or that aint going to bring food on ma table yet it is going to bring food on yours. As you write this those people are making more and more money and so are you anyway since we go out of our way to buy your paper but what do we find? THE FIRST FAMILY TREE! am disappointed with way you are insulting the public's intelligence. You pretending that you are opening our eyes on whats going on but a smart person will easily see a selfishness, anger, ambition, vengeance for a battle you lost with them but if you hadnt you would be defending or even not letting us know of this useless article you researched and published. Anyway, once a loser always a loser.....No hard feelings but disappointment.

This person has really tried to show his hatred for the president but i for one thats not what i have read or seen in his messages. The message in his writting is this " Hey, am a Ugandan without morals at all, i got know respect for my elders, adn when i went to school the dirty words were my best subject that i passed with A+, am also a DOT-COM regime so i will use any vulgar word whenever it suits me, and my parents didnt teach me any manners on how to express my dissapointments as a man."

The Pain of misguided frustration!
written by Albert, August 13, 2009
I have sat here for a whole afternoon read both rhetoric and nonsense waiting to give a comment, but i can assure you that by now, am so lost for word.

Now i know the reason why our countries struggle to develop. The wait of the population's stupidity is massively weighing down on the leaders and those who should help to educate like Andrew, and our apparently 'civilized' diaspora population over the world are busy spreading hate campaign because of a failed love affair that was refuted by a family. Why don't you admit that to these people Andrew? Why? If you are so honest.

I come from one of the families you mentioned up there, and as much as i do not refute some of the claim you made, i do not believe how you can write lies about some of the people you dine with. Some one read the things Andrew writes and tell me if he has ever written anything very incriminating about Gen. Muhwezi or Lt. Col. Muhoozi Keinerugaba apart from the general family tree thing. Don't you remember yourself Andrew defending Jim on WBS? So how now do you accuse his wife and kin?

You have managed to hoodwink people for so long to believe that you right the truth, how can you make the amateur mistakes you made in the above story, the marvelous writer that we all know you are? How can you claim that the Kabonero's are Janet's cousins and at the same time claim that Mr Karazaarwe who is their maternal uncle is also a cousin to Janet. In which world is that possible.

One last one. How Andrew, do you explain the fact that despite all the crap you writer, still manage to be one of Lt. Col. Muhoozi's best friends? How? That every time you report at CPS for your 'sins' he is the first person to visit you? Cm'on Andrew tell these guys the game that you are playing!

Lastly, this government like many others, has fallen short of the expectations of the public and those who craved for it. But let us not assume that it is the only one with such mistakes. The people who are in this government are human and will make mistakes today, tomorrow and in the days to come; and so will the generations to come. For many of you above, seek out those close to you, let them know their mistakes and help them to overcome them. But do not criticize without giving a remedy.

For those of you who have offered chance, hope and corrections, i thank you, that is sure help to your country and i wish the rest follow suit. But for those who insult and curse, i am ashamed to share a nationality with you. You keep us reeling in the past; and help the foreign world to ridicule us more. God help you all.

Bless you!
Are we risking genocide?
written by jal, August 16, 2009
Reading through the article and comments made.I should say one thing is eminent there is a major shift towards a "family type" wealth structure.That in itself is a whole is a whole other issue,however,all factors genuine including our belief and interest in our imediate and "close by" families,we all know a scenario like this if we were at the top is like ley to happen ALTHOUGH it would not be as undeserving as a good bunch of some of the folk above. Yes family should benefit from it's own but what good would one be doing if some "lazy" family member is given everything and a hardworking peasant can't even afford the scrap off that family members table? Point here is yes,your family is going to benefit one way or the other,however the "fairly right" way to do that is to have them (lazy undeserving family members)..take up posts upcountry..am not talking airconditioned offices here..am talking about a job where they will have to prove their worth and a need for advancement.Am not defending graft here at all,am just trying to speak realistically.Now the way the above article mentions it (assuming all of it is right on),personally ...not that my view really matters but it is rather extreme and that kind of structure can only fuel and risk potential genocide - the most degenerate state of human society. So please "number one" figure out a way to ease and make proper what is awful looking and while yo uare at it..remember even the mighty HITLER fell and members of anything to do with his party are still being persecuted to this day..is this what you want for your grand ,grand children or cronies grand children or whomever was involved.Well guys,just my 2 cents.

i have spent ma whole afternoon rea
ding mwendas article and de responses to it.90% is worrying.

yes there a so many faults in mr museveni's regime,nepotism and corruption is amongest them and pple a righ to be angry.

however,we handle our anger de right way,let every one direct the anger towards de problem not de person.

lets all bombard de president with constructive solutions,ldeas,organise honest boycots and demos in case we a not happy with de way contracts and jobs a distributed,we could change things slowly otherthan harding him thru abuses.

lets also thank him for this freedom of speech,lets use in de right way.we also thank mwenda for highlighting such issues.keep it up
WHERE IS THE CONCERN?
written by Kamoomo, August 28, 2009
Well,this is very interesting for a down to earth debator.where is the concern?
Shdnt the president have relatives?If he has,shd they be biggers and purvets so u can know the president is democratic?

Well,i see the govt positions dominated by the president's relatives according to your list,i think in my own opinion they are legible Ugandans who have a right to occupy any office depending on their accademic credials.However if your concern is exploitation of govt finances then sue the guyzzz!
If u respect the law then u must knw and have faith in it.
If all this time was spent on investigating the concern of emblezzlement of public funds then we would all get convinced and even pool support to throw these fellows out of public offices.

Lets use our reasoning capabilities,professional ethics,personal traits(+ve) and exposure in bringing out such issues.
-Besides genuinely Mr.Mwenda how accurate is your research abt this?
-Mr.Mwenda u are my mentor in debate but u seem to wast alot of time around the state house and Museveni's life talks better have other issues of concern that do benefit the current generation.

Thanx guyz dont crucify me,its a debate!

With all due respect he is his excellency, well about the peace you claim he brought to "us" - he is the one who was disturbing the country in the first place the guy started in 1971 if he wasn't in the bush then we'd have had peace. so about him bringing peace forget it he pulled out and got what he wanted not what we wanted. But remember nothing lasts forever and God will hear our prayers - When are we going to be patriotic enough to forget politics of the bush-its been 23 years now older than most of us but the "family" still asks 'where were are you when we were in the bush' come on lets stop being backward and style up the world has changed. No wonder we lose our professionals to developed countries b'se there is no future in a country which is led by only bushmen and the son/daughter and relative of so and so

There are consequences to every behavior. No wonder the members of the family tree are terrified of genocide. Hatred first then genocide next do not happen out of the blue. It happens when the victims of dehumanization, segregation, marginalization manipulation, exploitation and extortion are pissed off. Through blind nepotism, Museveni has condemned his kinsmen and women into oblivion. Therefore the family tree is dead in the water. Money saves nobody!

You are right. But professionalism is guided by ethical principles. The people you are defending are professional thieves; thugs if you wish, guided by unethical principles. If an intelligent person can respect daylight thieves then I am lost. These are all pretenders and self-serving parasites. Museveni served himself with the State House through the barrels of the gun. Please don't answer me with elections nonsense. As he served himself with expensive private jet, his ministers self-serve themselves with Shs.200 million luxury cars. Forgive me, unless you are one of them, you are worshiping a whitewashed tomb full of rotten bones.

Lets not pretend as if we have been blind if you have ever looked for a job you know what am talking about. there is no fairness in Uganda. I have experienced this first hand. the symptoms have been there Mwenda has done the diagnosis and now the signs are visible. Many of us who adore the president don't want to believe it but unfortunately its true.

Andrew is just the finger pointing at the **** in the middle of the road. Instead of blaming the person who is ****ting on everybody path, you are blaming Mwenda who is just raising the red flag.

Accusing the finger that is pointing at the owner of the **** is a madness of the highest order.

I think you are the one who was not brought up to be just and fair in your dealing other human persons; which why you don't care about the conduct of the first family. Only those like Kaguta who were uprightly brought to be honest and just express such an outrage, call it righteous indignation. May be the first family and their accessories deserve the insult. Besides, how many times did Museveni insult Ugandans? The measure you give is the measure you get.

From the comments, I can see the apologists who think the current arrangement is fine and will give anything to maintain the status quo. Shame on you guys!!!

Other apologists acknowledge some thing is wrong and are challenging the president's detractors to offer solutions. Guys, if some thing is wrong and you acknowledge it, where are your solutions? Have you come to your wits-end on how to resolve it? You are just like the first lot.

And the out and out detractors. Okay, there is a problem, what have you done about it? Andrew has pointed it out, others say what he has written is not entirely correct but no one says it is completely wrong. What are you going to do?

Do we deserve our situation?
written by Daniel Kenneth Bijjoolo, October 01, 2009
Clearly, there is a problem. Its cause is staying in power for long and M7 knows it because when he came to power, he pointed out that it was part of Africa's problem. He did not qualify his position then. Clearly, this "will of the people" crap is a new convenient twist designed to keep him in power. He went to the bush to fight it, he has turned out to be exactly the same. Ours is not a bush generation, it is a ballot generation. Instead of pointless talk in cyberspace, take the battle to the voting public in the countryside. M7 "mobilised the masses" for war, it is time you mobilised the same masses for the ballot. And you will not do it in you fancy offices or internet cafes. Go to the countryside and enlighten the masses!! We should realise we have the leadership we deserve if we do nothing about it.

This is all paving a road to genocide. Unfortunately those in the inner circle and those who lick there asses are too arrogant to see this. Brothers and sisters we are seated on a time bomb. Such words were being said before the 1994 Rwanda genocide and they were falling on deaf ears. The same thing is happening now. We always say "never again" to genocide. It happened in the holocaust against the Jews - "never again", Bosnia - "never again", Chechnya - "never again", Rwanda - "never again", Congo- "never again", Darfur - "never again", Uganda - shall we wait to say never again? Alternatively, can we stop it now before it happens? Are we so obsessed with nepotism and so we become too blind to see it coming? Or do we thing we have a very strong army to block it? Who's army anyway?

Reading thins just makes me wonder whether Museveni has a conscience. Some fools still point to the fact of liberating Ugandans. I mean we are still poor except for those near the president ofcourse, they look at buildings and businesses and say Uganda has developed not knowing it all belongs to less than 2% of Ugandans. It is the Musevenis who can get away without paying tax, get huge government favours in business, Loans that are not paid back etc all sorts of favours and are supposed to compete with the rest of us?????? all I can say is it is time to stand up for what is truly ours and get it back. we all need a share of the national cake. East, West, North, and south equally needs it. I tell the Musevenis will not give to us without a fight so get ready to fight for what is yours and Uganda will be better.

For your own information when genocide takes place, those eating are never affected its us, that wear the same face and are eating dust that are affected most. i had two icons in my life Andrew Mwenda and Betty Kamya but of recent am disappointed. am coming to believe the biblical version that says, anything in fresh is corrupt and evil.

She is uncomfortable with the truth. In today’s Uganda, if you are not a Muhima, you don’t stand a chance at success and if you do, you better sing Museeveni’s praises or else, he will bring you down. Museveni is not only nepotic, tribalist, but also very jealous and racist to other tribes. Only time will tell - he will go just like any other previous Ugandan dictators….

Bahimas are being used
written by Watcher, November 03, 2009
M7 doesn't belong to any tribe in Uganda. He just found somewhere he could fit and actually made it. Some few Bahima took the advantage and this is what comes up. The Bahima in general are just wearing the screw. Maybe, the Bahima need to educate the population about the real M7. This might cool the growing anger towards the Bahima and probably avoid tensions that may lead to genocide.

That very phrase "those fur***n pointed noses". that is exactly what was said by a few loyalists to the nazi party right before holocaust. The bulange loyalists who attacked ordinary hard working citizens looked for this distinguishing feature on the masses when they rioted a few weeks ago. Thankyou Mr. Mwenda for giving such people a pltaform to air out there views. There is no doubt that you will have blood on your hands as well. You may argue that freedom is a right and everyone should enjoy it but this fallacy in a developing nation. By writing this article whether for financial or hidden motives you are giving the poor, sick and uneducated something to rally all the grievances after.

Mwenda is privilieged to know about the family tree of the Musevenis. If Mwenda were not close to these people he would not know these things. It is a western region affair. Some of us can only watch all westerners enjoy this family rule from afar. Even Mwenda has a privilege as a westerner to start his paper and write about his brethren to us other Ugandans, to make money from our readership. He is crying over spilt milk. When this government collapses even Mwenda will collapse with them. Mwenda is a Mnyarwanda living in Toro. There are many of them there.

written by Kamuntu., January 03, 2010
When I read this article and all the comments i realised one thing. Ugandan is headed for disaster if no redress is made.
First it is not wrong for the president to appoint his relatives in all these positions, but its also not right for him to do this without advertersing these positions and carrying out free and fair interviews for all qualified Ugandans. To me this is the biggest problem

Secondly for those mentioned doing private bussiness, we have no problem with you except that you steal our taxes payers money by awarding yourselves government contracts through un fair procurment procedures and to make it even worse yout deliver air or very substandard service. That is my only problem with you.

God bless you, God bless Uganda and help it get rid of this plunder and dictatorship.
Museveni help us and create countries instead of districts, because Uganda is no longer viable as a country.

H.E in your 20 something year rule of this country you have divided the country more than ever no wonder you had to think of 'a patrotism campaign' You have divided the country to clan level (if not family level). Clans nowdays often clash on were the district headquaters of a new district you have promised them should be located.
Mr president when people in Northern uganda (biological substances as called by your Kajabago Karusoke) were sufferring as a result of the insurgency, it was very common to hear other Ugandans say let them kill each other.
When the people were dying in Teso due to famine, your minister was was making fun out of their sufferring. Mr president do you expect these people to be patriotic?

the guys in the tree are way to many not have unfair advantage, say another president was elected, would they stay in the house? I watched that invictus movie the other day, Morgan Freeman plays a Mandela who entered the State house on his first day on the job, called for a meeting and told the guys packing up to stay if they wished and that he held no grudge. some stayed, some left. i hope our next president will be that forgiving.

I always wondered where the Kiganda sounding name Kyambadde got its connection to this family of looters! Now I know, thanks Mwenda for enlightening me.
Registrar of Family Trees
written by Mwenda Family Tree, March 11, 2010
Now lets start with you Mwenda. have you ever hired a member of your tree to Monitor while they held no qualification, not even UACE? 2) If one was a member of your tree, qualified as a lawyer, would you hire them as a journalist for the Independent? Why not serve the country you so dearly love as a learned fella --- helping to consolidate mwenda share of the cake, right? Rest assured bro it wont grow overnight! 3) Has anyone been offered student residence out of the norm just because they are on your tree?

written by Mwenda Family Tree, March 11, 2010
4) Does your tree branch out to parliament? And if yes, is it by design that such a branch would extend to local council executive? 5) Is it treu that you made a call to the one and only big house to have your Kololo road fixed!!!! and this was done on a day's deployment. The kind of reaction that works only for CHOGM. Cant you really make that one call for our potholes or you havent seen them? 6) Lets save the Muhozi connection because it would explain the roots of The independent, or was its start up a Loan financed investment? Recall school days - IF YOU WANT TO COME TO JUSTICE COME WITH CLEAN HANDS
wrong vs wrong!
written by SKJ, March 11, 2010
Fellow countrymen two wrongs dont make a right....... it just sounds more like hatred campaigns. That wont get us food, quality education for our kids, drugs in hospitals, roads or a fair justice system. Who needs a home-grown media when they are so detatched from reality, as if they are siblings to BBC, CNN, SUN etc!!!!
Uganda, part of the House of Kaine
written by Vincent, March 12, 2010
God bless our country. What has happened to the 28 million Ugandans out there, do they not qualify to be Presidential aides or have their businesses winning lucrative tenders with govt. This is absolute nepotism and no apologies have been made for that nor can we expect it until the House of Kaine crumbles under its weight. It will come to pass

Why do all the sate scholarships for education go the the above's children why ?

Why is 20 out the 30 percent of the oil profit going to uganda going to mus ?

Why do they own almost every single building in uganda secretly if the earned it ?

Why does Mus close CBS is it besause he saw how tired people are ?

Why are his tribes men leaders in districts like gulu and so on ?

and lastly

why shld i not be angry ?


Uganda is headed down a deadly road
Charity begins at home
written by Dr. Muhanguzi Dennis, April 05, 2010
I have read all the above e-threads with utter amusement. People seem to be annoyed with the arrangement of things. Come to think about it; Among all of you who are not that happy who can cook and serve every one else before they themselves eat. This is how nature puts the arrangement of things and i would be very surprised to see them happening otherwise at statehouse. None of you speaking would make the head of house holds at state house a stranger. I would not like reminding you what happened to President Obote (RIP) when his Government was taken over by his own Army commander. His Excellency President Museveni is too smart for such things. Awangaale Ssabapresident. NRM for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The most annoying thing about this is that all these chaps are hooking into the consolidated fund for more perks whether its business deals or government privileges of chauffeured cars and fat allowances traveling abroad.

Imagine 3 jobs for the wife then throw in the babies too. Kagina should be ashamed of hounding Ugandans to pay their taxes while this shameless cabal feasts on our sweat. Sacrifice indeed.

Yoweri Museveni, beware the trappings of power that makes you begin to take Ugandans for granted. Take the opportunity now and salvage the little credibility left for you like Moi did. Otherwise it will be too late for your family. Do not wait for a Bastille kind of situation for you to accept things are not fine.

Oh Uganda May God Uphold thee.

Its really sad to hear Africans talking like this. Criticize the government, but please stay away from all the "nose shape" and other ethnic talk. We are all Africans. How can Ugandans talk like Nazis? Are you people that desperate. I am not from Uganda, but I really enjoy reading African newspapers. I came across this article and I could not believe what I read in the comments. Can anyone tell me one African country where one family is not calling all the shots. The Khama family in Botswana, the Kabila clan in Congo, the Mugabe clan in Zimbabwe. How is Uganda any different. We in Africa have to unify because we all have the same problems. However, we can't be united with all this Nazi talk about nose shapes and body forms.

WHY DO YOU SHOW ONE SIDE
written by Muramuzi Ronald, June 25, 2010
Am surprised by this article and i have come to doubt mwenda's jounalistic and proffesional ethics.
First of all state house is a mult-tribal dominated organization.
There are people who spaeke Luo,Luganda,Iteso and etc so why do you only pick a few individuals of the same language and you leave out the Obinas and Kazibwes?
I think the article is intended to divide and confuse peaceful Ugandans.
Pliz stop ugandans know what they want.

Pl'z ugandans could u help me and leave president Musevene's family alone u'r words will never change anything so its better to wait what comes out being a president is a gift from God not everybbody can become a president Museveni will lead Uganda until local people gets tied of giving him votes because its them who supports him every term to win politics so style up Ugandans thax i wish Ugandans to know where u'r and where u came from

written by Anne Elizabeth, July 23, 2010
I have read this article and some of the responses. All i can say is God is watching us. If what the president has done is wrong he will judge him accordingly. But for the ones who insulted him that is absurd style up and let us appreciate the peace we have. At least we can start up a business and earn some money because the enviroment is conducive. Let us not be bothered by what others have because we are all destined for one thing the grave. And no matter what you have or do not have you are buried with nothing. You can only sleep in one bed, move in one car, eat, s**t and sleep. But if money can change all that some one should let me know. To God we hand the greedy and the rest of us should work towards the development of our country. We are one and all Ugandans. Stay blessed.
Kagutema Rules

People, This is real Nugbanton!!!!! What is wrong with putting his family around him? I think this is the most Ugandan successful president ever. Uganda has been a home to every Ugandan and some foreigners. I don't think any body has the right to insult our head of state, please be reasonable, If any of you is capable, throw in your candidature Wacha longo longo, get some life. Museveni rules, We have seen those who once tried to lead us, like Obote, Amini, Binayiisa, Tito, Museveni is incomparable, Mpaka nga waliwo ayesiimbyewo natulaga kyalinawo otherwise, ejo MidomoTwakoowa!!!

I dont see anything wrong with these chaps having those positions, if everything in the country was doing well. But given the current state of affairs, am sure they are also getting to know the whole country will probably not forgive their folly. Remember to tell them when you go to the polls.

During the war i was young, but everytime I hear that NRA has reached e.g Kakiri I would rejoice, hoping that He is bringing change. But supringly 26 years later HE IS A DICTATOR. ONLY BAHIMA AND BANYARWANDA ARE WELL OFF!! DID THE PEOPLE OF LUWERO DIE IN VAIN? WHERE IS THE TEN POINT PROGRAME? TIME IS COMING, THE MIGHTY HITLER YOU CANNOT EVEN FIND HIS GRAVE. I ALWAYS RESPECT A PERSON LIKE MANDELA 27 FRUITIFUL YEARS(PRODUCTIVE YEARS OF AN INDIVIDUAL) OF HIS LIFE WERE SPENT IN PRISON, YET AFTER BECOMING THE PRESIDENT HE DIDNT KILL THOSE WHO IMPRISONED HIM!!! BUT FORGAVE THEM. EVEN WHEN HE BECOME PRESIDENT HE DIDNOT EMPLOY HIS RELATIVES. HE IS LIKE A SAINT MAY GOD BLESS HIM.

sensible ugandans
written by stephen biggie, November 02, 2010
i am quite amazed at the response this topic has got, the views, the anger in peoples hearts, the ignorance some of which we clearly see in some of these blogs from people like stephen k, who is telling us how he has lived in US for some time as if that is important n relevant here. George Bush was called all things even on national telly and Pres elect obama faces all sorts of abuses. It is also ignorance and stupidity fm people like Muzira jemas, kukula kweta majid (read blogs) that we find ug in a state it is in today.
sensible ugandans
written by stephen biggie, November 02, 2010
How do we categorise a president in the 21st century when countries are moving away from dependency on foreign Aid (because these countries are facing economic difficulties themselves and are cutting Aid, for those of u chanting m7, uganda depends 50% ON F. AID), having been in power for 24 years, and a government endemic with such a high level of corruption fm top to bottom and much of this is quite open. A president employing relatives in public offices no qualifications, no questions asked. What significant investments has the government made in the 24 yrs apart fm foreign companies and indians. As far i know huge amounts of tax payers money have been embezzled in those 24 yrs in way our country has never seen.
sensible ugandans
written by stephen biggie kiggwe, November 02, 2010
Now sensible people will always question these things without fear of being attacked by sychomphants of the regime as i am seeing above. Those ugandans like kukula kweta and muzira jemas( think it is james, bt i think he cant even spell his name) are the same ugandans who have been thanking m7 for peace and sleep for 24 yrs, well keep on sleeping brethren, but the rest of the world aint. They are of the view that bcoz the man went to the bush, then he has every right to treat our country like his pvt bussiness. How narrow minded can we be! Peace isnt the only thing we should expect fm a good govt. Thanking m7 for peace is like thanking a husband for buying his wife food, because that is what they do.

No single President has ever done this abomination in the whole of the eastern Africa region! I think none will ever do this sin!! They have set a precedent of genocide for themsellves, wait and you will see what follows when things hapen the normal way.

The pyramid
written by Traveller, December 17, 2010
I read some where that the President is amongst one of the richest Heads of State in the world! If this is true then it is easy to see what being and staying at the apex of this pyramid translates to.

The 'contracts' awarded with impunity to these folks smacks of personal aggrandizement from the fellow at the top! Either is a coincidence or........people wake y wake y!

Personally i cannot subscribe nepotism, favoritism, protectionism and out right corruption in one breath! This is hideous, selfish and life denying !

written by COO TOO IRAO, May 23, 2011
I really think these so called first family are mentally sick, they had to be. and i would suggest to Ugandans that change will not come when we wait for sometime or some one else if not us, because we are the change that we have been waiting for. Their is no time to cause change. thus lets us stand up for change now that we are ready and willing to cause change instead of pleading with the perpetrators of incest, nepotism, tribalism, clique of blood suckers in otherwords ambassadors of LUCIFER and people who have change our beloved motherland from the pearl of Africa into the pearl of thieves. my word of encouragement is that no one gives up, as a revolution is not a predestination of any particular clan in Uganda as any one angry enough can do it. baloots proved so inefffectie.
