Uganda Continues to be run by a Corrupt Political Class

2015-08-25T20:30:00+02:00

Fellow Compatriots, just think of the number of powerful people from Kigezi region that are squatting in Kampala indulging themselves in Kachabali and behaving like they’re the most civilised/Sophisticated, caring, extrovert, high morels, etc.

Today the future of Ugandans is being decided for the youth, by the NRM criminal out-fit and its band of political left-overs, and parasites. We continue to witness the training and arming of various extremists, by NRM functionaries to maim and Kill other Ugandans. The illegal activities being carried out, by criminal Yoweri Museveni’s senior interahamwe, Major Kakoza Mutale- is a clear sign that the blood sucking regime will never entertain popular democracy. However, that’s just part of the story as the notorious criminal out-fit of Congo, the M23, has been integrated in the Uganda para-military police as a special crack unit that can be deployed anytime and anywhere in Uganda.

The criminal activities being plotted against Ugandans by criminal Yoweri Museveni and his mercenaries, have not caused public outrage by the political class, as they’ve lost the voice of reason that cares about their fellow Ugandans. Instead, the political class, now has voices of self that advocates for individuals and not society at large.

Its now the norm for thieves, rapists, murderers, Pedophiles, etc. to manipulate society by using the services of professional liars (PR firms), and Consultation meetings to sanitize their criminal tendencies. That’s why we have a failed state called Uganda that has not even achieved the break-even-like in business, imagine for 30 years a business not achieving the break-even point?? Of course it’ll be a failed business. So why not a country, and why’are we still promoting the likes of Amama Mbabazi, Yoweri Museveni, etc. to run the same business for more years? Our country deserves better , and not hustlers riding on backs of communication directors such as; Josephine Mayanja-Nkangi, mirundi,etc. and behaving like born-again. toads.

Fellow Compatriots, when did t-shirts with portraits of criminals ever replace the national flag of a people? We seem to have gone back to the stone age when we didn’t have an identity, but statues and wampums. By wearing t-shirts of known criminals and turning them into cult figures, is a free-fall to backwardness-worshiping individuals with no programs to transform society for the better, demeans Ugandans as a people.

When you superficially raise a status of someone into what they’re not and will never be, then that person is bound to start behaving and believing that indeed, they’re some little voodoo god/goddess. We see it everyday in Africa when useless individuals , without a development program for the masses, are misled into becoming president by both imperialistic forces and compradors (local agents)-the results have been the destruction and tearing apart of communities.

When you look around the political landscape of Uganda, you’ll be left in tears by what the so called brainy individual say and do. Without doubt, the architects of corruption and gross human rights abuses in Uganda, tend to be Academia graduates, with great grades. However, they lack conscience and commonsense. When a deputy speaker of parliament compares a known hardcore criminal, like Criminal Yoweri Museveni to Prophet Jesus(Peace be Upon Him) ,then you begin to understand that holders of Degrees, and Diplomas, after-all they’re not that intelligent, but mere academic crammers . That’s why you’ll find them lacking original ideas for themselves, and have instead turned into professional copycats of other people’s ideas and work.

Fellow Compatriots, the murderers of our people have now become political consuls and heros to holders of colonial education. As long as the learned but not intelligent, continue to embrace known criminals for their selfish causes, then Uganda will continue to bleed. The self made prophets will continue to take our people around in endless circles of lies.

The culture of following individuals and not national programs, will continue to isolate power from the people, and instead turn political power into an exclusive entity of a few as is the case today-were power is not equally distributed in all regions and at all levels. That’s why we continue to have no diverse political actors and structures at grassroots level, because the political narrative has been distorted to suit the criminal class that came from Luwero triangle.

If you look at Criminal Amama Mbabazi’s 8 point program, you’ll realise that its a Paper meant to fill gaps in his manifesto, but not cause change on the ground. Let’s consider point 3 “Promoting equitable development where all communities and all regions of the country equally benefit from decisions made by the government.”

You see them living in mansions,Quaffing the best a kitchen can offer, Crashing & Snoring like pregnant frogs in parliament, Chronically accusing Baganda as being sectarian, occupying most juicy jobs, etc. While in their home area, leaves the most abused and deprived people on planet earth, the Batwa. No…no, I want you to imagine of powerful people from these districts; Kisoro,Kabale,Rukunjiri, and Kanungu that are either in opposition or government. How many times have you heard them mention the Batwa plight? Of course Zero!

Today, the Batwa have found themselves refugees in their own country since 1991, after being forcefully evicted from their homes in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and unable to sustain their livelihoods and culture-Many Batwa now live in abject poverty. How could this have happened with all the powerful people from the area in high level offices??

The living conditions of Batwa are very appalling that you wouldn’t even wish your dog to live that way. Its only Batwa that use their hands as plates for food, lack access to medical facilities, lack proper habitable homes, lack representation on the Uganda political landscape, lack education, lack clean water, lack legitimacy of citizen rights, etc. I could go..on and on….

The forceful displacement of Batwa is not only in Bwindi, but anything called a forest with no compensation. As Amama Mbabazi and Yoweri Museveni’s gunmen were chasing and shooting at them, now most leave along Uganda /Congo border, a good number found themselves in Congo RDC .

Their plight makes my stomach hurt, as a good number of them ended up living in No man’s land along Uganda/DRC borders. With Criminal Museveni and Criminal Paul Kagame’s genocidal wars in Congo, many were butchered in cold blood.

Now, where has Amama Mbabazi been for the last 30 years. not in government and at one point, not heading it??

The problem with Uganda politicians, is being useless to the people they claim to represent-just imagine kigezi has three presidential wannabes. If Kiza Besigye, Amama Mbabazi, and Mugisha Muntu can’t feel the pain of the Batwa, then how do you expect them, to ever feel the pain of Ugandans?? How pathetic, that these fellas go around bragging to Ugandans that they’re Freedom fighters, while their own people lack even the basic rights??

Fellow Compatriots, Our parents didn't send us to school to just read and write, but to be useful in society. Thus, not to be mere bookworms but develop our commonsense and conscious. The institutionalised discrimination against the Batwa, has now been shifted to other communities and demography.

That’s why its imperative to get rid of Criminal Yoweri museveni and his Luwero Triangle buddies. However, our desperation should not make us go in bed with known criminals and their band of collaborators.

Uganda Minister Amelia Kyambadde Web Cam

2015-08-16T13:09:58+02:00

She was attractive and many soldiers liked her. One story goes that while at Sacred Heart Girls', she used to arrive in Gulu in a family chauffer-driven car around a week before school opened for the term and spend time with soldiers in their Officers' Mess in town.

: Amelia Kyambadde

When her boss went to the bush in 1981 to launch his "fundamental change" rebel war, Amelia Kyambadde fled to exile in 1983 and stayed with her children in Gottenborg, Sweden, in some lower middle class flats not far from where the Museveni family was also staying.

I think am just Kaguta Museveni die hard that's why its so easy for me to play the game while he coaches.
I am a Professional Secretary and trained Administrator. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration (MUK), and a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the American Intercontinental University UK. In the recent past I have been working as the Principal Private Secretary (PPS) to His Excellence the President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni

What possibilities does social media present for the people who are not on social media or have no access to the Internet

: Amelia Kyambadde

Social media can be an answer to violent demonstrations. Youth can adopt digital petitions and hand risers

: Amelia Kyambadde

Social media leverages more on perception! It's important to build an authentic image online if you want to be trusted

: Amelia Kyambadde

Social media has democratized the engagement btn the ordinary person and their leaders

: Amelia Kyambadde

MPs should have active social media desks to help them engage with their constituents

Social media activism should translate into active involvement in the political process by the youth

The former powerful Principal Private Secretary to the Criminal Yoweri Museveni, Mrs. Amelia Kulubya Kyambadde.

Being so close and personal with him for nearly 30 years now, she is one of the few people who could if she wanted, write an authoritative biography of Musevenis rule.

According to the modest database that we have pieced together plus the contributions from some of our readers, Amelia Kyambadde was born into a well-to-do Baganda family sometime in the late 1950s.

She is the eldest child of the late Serwano-Kulubya of Kulubya and Company Advocates, a law firm. Her father was a well-connected and influential person in the 1960s UPC government.

According to this information, Amelia's mother is related to Museveni's mother and that is where the "Hima" connection comes in. (With Museveni the confessing "non-sectarian", blood relations seem to be the rule rather than exception.)

Amelia's mother now lives in Sweden where she is a naturalized Swede.

Amelia Kulubya attended Nakasero Primary School in Kampala in the 1960s. At that time, it was an elite school for Europeans and only privileged elite Ugandans went to that school.

Amelia used to tell her friends at Nakasero that she had ever been to Europe, which given the times then, we can take as further evidence of her prominent background.

She then went on to Sacred Heart Girls' Secondary School in Gulu from 1969 to 1971. She did her O'Level exams and passed well but did not for some reason want to go back there for her A'Levels.

Some of the classmates of Amelia Kulubya were Jennifer Kalimuzo, Florence Kikira, Joy Kanyike, and many more who were a year ahead of Amelia Kulubya.

A former schoolmate of hers told usthat Amelia Kulubya "spoke very good English and that was her highest score in O' Level exams" While in Sacred Heart "she had everything a young girl could want."

This former schoolmate (who seems to be have known Amelia in Gulu) told us that Amelia was quiet at school, "friendly to most girls, she did not have the contempt some Southerners showed towards the Northerners."

It is something to note that these people from Northern Uganda who have faced a bitter and hellish 20 years of the Museveni rule have this view of Amelia. In the many comments we recieved, they spoke well of her. The bitter resentment sometimes (understandably) shown any westerner or "Southerner" close to Museveni for abandoning them to the dogs these past two decades is remarkably absent.

But Amelia one of those rare NRM Bantu who is as much liked by the southerners as the northerners.

Somewhere in the mid 1970s, Amelia Kulubya got married to Wilson Kyambadde.

After the fall of Idi Amin in 1979, Amelia worked as a personal secretary to the new Defence Minister, Criminal Yoweri Museveni.

When President Godfrey Binaisa transferred Museveni to become the Minister of Regional Cooperation, the man who does not respect institutions somehow moved Amelia with him there to work under him.

And Amelia's apparent partiality for soldiers since school at Sacred Heart had not expired because according to impeccable sources, during that time in 1979 or 1980, Amelia got pregnant with a child by Museveni.

Among her children are Peter, Ivan, Ishta, Kenny, Amber and Mike. One of her children (Amber?) today is actually a child of Museveni.

When her boss went to the bush in 1981 to launch his "fundamental change" rebel war, Amelia fled to exile in 1983 and stayed with her children in Gottenborg, Sweden, in some lower middle class flats not far from where the Criminal Yoweri Museveni family was also staying.

When the "fundamental change" that 20 years on has left Kampala in darkness began in 1986, Amelia resumed her job of working under Museveni.

What Radio Katwe is not sure about is when Janet Museveni first came to know the full significance of her husbands "working" position in relation to Amelia. It seems that was recent, when Amelia had to flee to London for a brief "vacation" until Janets wrath came under some control.

In 1994 or 1995 when Natasha Museveni was sent to London to study fashion (what a waste of tax payers' money, when you look at the poor quality of dresses produced by the now, thankfully, defunct House of Kaine!), State House was worried that Natasha would be lonely.

So the state arranged for scholarships for Amelia's daughter, Ishta Kyambadde and Josephine Wapakhabulo, a daughter of the late NRM heavyweight James Wapakhabulo, to go and study in the UK but some speculate that one of the intended side-benefits of these two was to keep Natasha company.

In 1996, Amelia went to Makerere University to do a Bachelors in Business Administration. One contributor claims that in 1998 during her third year "she had as many as 24 retakes." Whereas anything is possible, one wonders at the credibility of that abnormally high number of retakes.

As PPS to Criminal Yoweri Museveni, Amelia was tough toward the staff around Museveni. Reports from State House say that Amelia has on ocassion treated people like Presidential Press Secretary Onapito Ekomoloit and Media Centre Director Robert Kabushenga like small children, shouting at them in front of their colleagues.

So that is Amelia for you. By all accounts professional and a generally nice person. A rare thing to say about anyone so close to Criminal Yoweri Museveni.
O how one wishes some of her would have rubbed off on her boss of all these years...!

The Real Enemies Of Uganda Political Parties

2015-08-04T20:24:00+02:00

We should all remain vigorous and don’t drop our guard at fighting and exposing political hypocrisy in Uganda. The National Resistance Criminal out-fit, proxies in Uganda Democratic Party (DP) and Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), should be confronted using all means at our disposal.

The intimidation and abusive language from Uganda Democratic Party(DP) squatter, Norbert Mao- qualifies him to be denied the space of misleading Uganda democrats. His arrogance and mismanagement are not DP’s , but National Resistance Movement hallmarks.

Norbert Mao is Yoweri Museveni’s Cadre

Those that are still dreaming of Norbert Mao being a democratic, you need some reality check. His leadership model, can be compared to that of a militia leader and not a democratic political party.

The failure to apologize to Ugandans….something you would automatically expect from a leader of a “democratic” Party, is just enough to dump him in the dustbin of traitors that strangled voiceless Ugandans.

What is very annoying, is when Norbert Mao uses the tribal card “of being an Acholi and not a Muganda” to cover -up for his dictatorial tendencies and incompetence. Those people that his abusing and intimidating, are the very voices that were out there calling for the end of Acholi genocide, while he was busy scrubbing backs of UPDF murderers in Jacuzzi Baths and rolling Oteka joints for them,

I know many Acholi hardcore DP supporters, that have kept away from the party, because its being run by someone who once used his influence to Criminal Yoweri Museveni during the Acholi Genocide, to harass other Acholi leaders. We should not forget that Norbert Mao begged his master, Yoweri Museveni- many times to help defeat FDC in Acholi.

Fellow Compatriots, the liberation of Uganda cannot be complete, without also getting rid of regime agents that are squatting in political parties, the Media, Civil Society, Businesses, etc. As all traitors have two things in common; Hypocrisy and greed.

You all recall when traitor Norbert Mao did his NRM Siasa, by accusing innocent Acholi children like; Dr. Ocan Lapit Otim, Maj. Oboke Okello Latigo, Sande Angoma Okello, Dr. Henry Obonyo, Dr. Charles Akena, Fred Okullo Otim, Alex Okot Langwen, Onek Adyanga, Lapwony Okwon, etc., that they were working on establishing a rebel group, the Uganda Patriotic Front (UPF).

To this day, we don’t know what happened to hundreds of their friends and family members that were arrested and locked up in David Tinyefuza’s safe houses. Let him come and tell us where they went, did they escape or they died?? In short, you can say that Norbert Mao is responsible for keeping away many Acholi children in Diaspora from visiting their motherland.

You can now understand why Norbert Mao loves hanging out with the Acholi murderer, Killer David Tinyefuza.

Some thought for Uganda Democrats out there. How comes that NRM surrogates like Gilbert Bukenya and David Tinyefuza received more coverage by the patronage Media, than Norbert Mao’s Militia delegate conference at Katomi Kingdom Resort in Garuga ? What sort of political party is this that, fails to report on the real issues of the day, but instead is dominated by two undemocratic individuals, uh?

My observation on the current political situation in Uganda:

There’s a war that’s being waged on the young generation by the old guards. That’s why you see the patronage media aggressively forcing old NRM/NRA excrements, like Kiza Besigye, Amama Mbabazi, David Tinyefuza, Gilbert Bukenya, etc. down our throats. What’s even laughable, is the talk of a transitional government by the same dick-heads- as if Ugandans are too thick to decide for themselves between new patriots and the old guards!!

The struggle to uproot dictatorship from Uganda is not only about Criminal Yoweri Museveni, but the system called NRM/NRA. The fight should mainly target both physically and psychologically, the “PAKALAST” Extremists.

Next-time I take a closer look at Criminal Yoweri Museveni’s Shadower in the Opposition, Amama Mbabazi.

Yoweri Museveni Steals Uganda Oil

2015-07-18T18:18:00+02:00

why should it only be Yoweri Museveni to have the sole ownership and benefit of it? When the opportunity arises, all the Uganda Nation Pagans, should be shot at first sight!

When Ugandans were busy celebrating the official exploration of oil in Western Uganda, Dictator Yoweri Museveni was instead clandestinely siphoning it away and giving the rights of ownership from Ugandans, to himself.

The Rwandan born turned Uganda dictator, has on many occasions made public statement referring to Uganda oil as his, and the latest has surprised Ugandans.
“We just discovered the oil in western Uganda which we believe will help us a great deal, and now that is why you see those people coming up to contest against me. They are targeting my oil,”

Don't believe that it was the National Resistance Movement Criminal Out-fit, who discovered oil in Uganda- as Lake Albert was always considered an attractive oil prospecting region for a very long time, especially given the natural oil and gas in the area. BP and other companies explored in the 1930s with the first well in 1938, but World War II put the exploration on hold.

The outright theft of Uganda resources by Yoweri Museveni and his family is a struggle that
we should all participate in.

What politicians and especially those claiming to want to lead Ugandans to "Yerusalemu", is their sickening silence on the transparency over Ugandaʼs oil contracts. How could this have happened and no public out-cry?
However, when it comes to their greed for power, they'll pay for over forty lawyers to represent their interests. I'll discuss this comprehensively next-time.

Fellow Compatriots, the Production Sharing Agreements(PSA)- do no represent our people, but the criminal family of Yoweri Museveni. If oil is a natural gift given to Ugandans by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala (God the Almighty) for the benefit of all Ugandans, then why should it only be Yoweri Museveni to have the sole ownership and benefit of it? When the opportunity arises, all the Uganda Nation Pagans, should be shot at first sight!

The deliberate misrepresentation of our treasured natural resource such as oil,
to be the property of Yoweri Museveni and his family, is 100% treasonous.

Anarchist to Field a Frog for Uganda Presidential Elections

2015-07-04T21:12:00+02:00

The Uganda anarchists have decided to field a Frog as a Presidential candidate for the Uganda 2016 presidential elections. Hopefully many anarchists will come-up with very many ingenious ways to pull this off.

The main weakness in Uganda political landscape is with the opposition-the opposition in Uganda is mainly made of thieves and criminals.Their actions of opportunism and manipulation is not accidental, but deeply ingrained in their DNA as they mostly built their careers serving the Criminal dictatorship of Yoweri Museveni.

But when they fell-out of favor with their boss, they then hijacked the traditional opposition politics, while still maintaining strong links with notorious killers of the regime. This has not been helpful at all to the politics of Uganda,but created very many little fucks in the opposition, claiming to represent the people.

For sometime we did give a chance to the political class in the opposition-anarchists thought it was better to let them wake up from their cozy cesspool naturally, but its now been three electro processes taking place, and the bad stench is still around and has even got worse. We see the same frogs taking our people for fools on a fourth process. This has got out of hand .... two nasty frogs are now indirectly being empowered by the regime and imperialism fitting the bill.

The political situation in Uganda has always been crap and pathetic, as its always the same class of parasites, always manipulating and taking the populace hostage. I've followed and tried to work-out the political system in Uganda since my childhood, but it gets worse everyday. We still have ministers that served under Idi Amin's regime, still holding powerful ministerial portfolios and directing security services.

What is the use to even bother voting for the same..same murderous, corrupt, backward thieving parasites. Uh? The entire political system needs dismantling by any-means necessary- as voting is a waste of resources and time, because the same parasites will always find their way through. Its like a broken sewer pipe, every-time someone flushes down their shit, it splashes everywhere into the neighborhood.

The political class in Uganda is the only one in the World that lacks a developmental project for the people. However, this's understandable as Uganda is a great shag for imperialistic forces that have no bother for a developed African nation. Because 75% of the Uganda society is illiterate and poor, building democracy through mutual consensus is very problematic. That's why we've decided to come up with our own format of political frogging...this came up after realising that the fake Uganda Opposition contestants, have a facial similarity with the old frog. If those frogs can take our people for a ride, then a better frog is waiting to ambush them

Today, access to media(opensource) is in the hands of a few vocal individuals that happen to belong to the parasitic class as you'll see below

WATCH THIS SPACE NEXT WEEK-Meanwhile enjoy this good read:

“STATUS REPORT
TO: The Head Special Duties State House, The Republic of Uganda
FROM: JOEL ISABIRYE AND MPIIRWE NICHOLAS (MESSE)
DATE: 30th JUNE 2015
RE: MOBILIZATION THROUGH MEDIA
Since we started work on the mobilization project, we have progressed a bit but need to do much more in the month of July 2015. After our various meetings beginning with the first one on the 17th of March 2015 at State House, we started promoting candidate Museveni for 2016.
The Current Issues
The first issue is aspiring candidate Amama Mbabazi.At 4am on Monday 15th of June 2015, Mbabazi announced that he was going to stand. His announcement was made via YouTube a social networking site for videos. His presentation was lacking energy and he seemed very timid. Nevertheless the excited groups on social media went in overdrive to celebrate his announcement.
Besides other mobilization efforts we are undertaking, that evening at 9pm, we met and made a strategy. The first was to undermine Mbabazi’s candidature online.
On Facebook, Joel Isabirye has been a commentator on social, economic and political events in the East African region. In the 2013 elections in Kenya, he made commentaries that both Kenyan and Ugandan Journalists would follow. See for example a statement by Geoffrey Kulubya Editor of Bukedde Newspaper in a conversation that I had with him:
“”
So when Mbabazi announced I went online and demonstrated how Mbabazi would fair. It was a fairly balanced comment but clearly showed that Museveni would carry the day in 2015. As such many believed that it was a well reasoned view and they saw that while Mbabazi appears to be vibrant on social media, on the ground he is not present.
“

could amama mbabazi (as is being alleged) have paid the c.e.o. magazine to cook and release results of an online survey that shows he was the favorite candidate to win the 2016 presidential elections in uganda?i don’t think so.he is not the type.i also do not think the c.e.o. magazine would make such a deal.i actually believed the outcomes of that survey because mbabazi is exceptional strong on social media.however there are as i always say 5.4 million ugandans on facebook-and a slightly higher number with online access (that is those in uganda and outside uganda).statistically that is kampala x2.on the ground (across the country) candidate museveni registers more appeal.indicators show that museveni will win 2016 by 85%.it could turn out less or more because many intervening variables could occur between now and march 2016.but mbabazi will change how politics (especially those who oppose) should be organized and performed.it will be with more decency, more systematic and laden with legal overtones.three of the driving factors for voter behavior in elections in Uganda are: 1.how often the voter sees (not hears) the candidate throughout the five interceding years between elections (at burials, at funerals, launching projects, at weddings and introduction ceremonies ,at churches etc).elections are rarely won in the campaign period.that is why new politicians (from lc1 to others) are advised to contest in one election as an introduction and then begin the process of the five years to the next elections 2.the groceries brought around by the candidate at the moments at which they are seen in the interceding years and during the election period.3.service delivery issues (a distant consideration).mbabazi’s main barrier is time more than anything else.there are 112 districts in uganda.each has at least 5 major trading centers and 1 town.to traverse each one daily (without including the 300 villages minimum in each district) to strongly sell yourself, you need 622 days.that is close to two years.if his sacking had been delayed, he would have been lucky to use his position as prime minister to criss cross the country.and due to minimal internet access, social media is largely ‘unpresent’ in the vast countryside.one option he has is to book advertising on the 227 radio stations nationwide declaring himself as an aspirant.he needs at least 12 billion to do that over the next four months before nomination.that he can afford if all the stations accept to run his advertisements viz a viz the electoral laws.in these circumstances,his adverts would have to be as aspirant.he would have to do several feedback type advertisements (with ivr and sms response platforms) telling people he is planning to stand and seeking their opinion and what they would want him to address if he stood as opposed to promoting a manifesto and agenda.back to the polls.one appeal i have had for ugandan opinion pollsters is to include a classification question of: are you a registered voter? that question would filter voters from non-voters in the process giving more accurate indications of the vote preference within registered voters and non-registered voters.as of now generalized polls are highly speculative.but museveni will win 2016.the margins being contingent on the intervening variables between now and then
Current research in Kampala if elections were held today

In total sample of 600, President Yoweri Museveni scored 57.3% followed by Kizza Besigye with 25.3%, followed by Amama Mbabazi with 10.3% followed by Nobert Mao with 2.6% followed by Gilbert Bukenya with 2.3% and lastly Professor Baryamureeba with 2%.
We conducted this survey across the five divisions of Kampala with a split of 120 people per division. It cost us 4 million shillings to do. We used some of the money we were given in June (Messe brought 2 million shillings Joel brought 2 million shillings). We needed an accurate survey because we needed to know our strengths and weaknesses. We want to release this survey to social media but needed your approval first.
Costs were as follows:
1. Field Assistants 5 x 100,000 x 8 days
2. Data Entry and processing (Joel Isabirye)
Breakdown for each division
Makindye
Kawempe
Central
Nakawa
In all divisions we win except Kawempe. However in terms of margins our strongest performance is in Nakawa, followed by Rubaga, followed by Central, followed by Makindye and followed by Kawempe. Kawempe needs more effort from what we see.
UPDATES AND INTERVENTIONS
Our update on the state of our sector and the key interventions were presented as follows:
Broadcasting
1.Uganda went digital on 27th June.70% of the country is yet to get Set Top Boxes required to enable Digital Signal reception on their TV Sets. The Set Top Boxes are quite expensive and range from 90,000 to 160,000 shillings.
2.49% of Capital Radio Limited was bought by Times Group of South Africa trying to gain national reach with the funds acquired. They are buying stations left right and centre. However they are not a hostile station because Capital Gang their main political talk show of influence has our representation through Ofwono Opondo and Moses Kidandi the producer. However Kidandi is showing signs of wavering. I have discussed seeing him with Messe so that we can take care of his issues. If we did so we can fix the agenda onwards to 2016. We also want to talk to Marcus the host of the breakfast show on Capital Radio practically. If our budget is approved we shall see him.
3.Godfrey Kaaya Kavuma retired as Managing Director of CBS. Michael Kawoya Mwebe took over. Has changed CBS 89.2 to become a youth radio station. It however still features the old presenters. Meddie Nsereko on that station is sympathetic to us. We need to engage with him more at this time.
4.Gordon Wavamuno sold Wavah FM 102.1 to FUFA at 1.5 billion shillings. Moses Magogo at the helm is sympathetic to us more because he needs government support to FUFA. We need to enter that radio station. I have been offered a consultancy task which I am still discussing with them. We shall advance our agenda in there.
5.Gaster Lule Ntakke has opened Delta TV a Buganda leaning television station. He is working with Abbey Mukiibi of CBS. We have Katongole Omutongole in there. Katongole is both a presenter on Beat FM and on Delta. He has considerable influence and is sympathetic to us. He needs to be seen to become more consistent. Our challenge with him is that he wants to contest against Sulaiman Madada in Bbale Kayunga. However we can avoid that for the time being.
6. Monitor Publications Limited (MPL) Head of Radio Richard Ringa has resigned. They are searching for a new Head of Radio. I recommended one of our collaborators Moses Ateng Kasaijja who is currently managing radio west. If he is taken, we shall have full control of both KFM and Dembe FM. If he is not we still have our people in there who we shall see often. They include Kasuku, Roger Mugisha, Chris Obore and Sam Gombya. If Ateng remains at Radio West, we are certain we shall have full control of the most powerful station in the West.
Key Interventions
1. We should immediately mobilize among broadcasters by sympathizing with their causes:
(a) Contribute to those who are in sickness.
(b) Contribute to funerals (Baale Francis, Ruth Nankabirwa, Chris Obore wife was good).
(c) Contribute to Weddings, Kwanjulas and Graduations. We need to contribute to the planned weddings of Eseza Omuto and Catherine Kusasira. We should have a budget of 3 million stand by per month. That is 36 million per year. We will not use all of it in one month.
(d) Appoint Presidential Advisor on the sector. I am willing to take this role.
