NEWS EDITOR MEDIA TEAM

WHEREAS his 2nd and last term as the General Overseer (GO) of the National Fellowship of Born-Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC-U) remains with a few months to end, Bishop Joshua Lwere who also doubles as Senior Pastor of Grace Assembly Christian Centre, Sir Apollo Kaggwa Road has refused to leave office, we can exclusively report! 
A few days to the election of the new General Overseer, the election process has been stopped, aspirants banned on the orders of Lwere from holding consultative meetings and now, a four-days Annual General Meeting (AGM) has been called to amend NFBPC Constitution and remove term lifts so that Lwere can run again. 
The Aspirants for the General Overseer office include; Leonard Sserwadda from Masaka, Fredrick Ssemazzi (former General Secretary (NFBPC ) from Bukasa in Muyenga, Joseph Nsubuga (current National Mobilizer) from Komamboga Kawempe, Moses Odongo (the current National Clerk) from Namuwongo, and renown Pr. David Micheal Kyazze of Omega Healing Centre Namasuba on Entebbe road.
In fact, Pr. Michael Kyazze, a senior Pastor in the Country had traversed the whole country to seek for endorsement by fellow Pastors and wherever he reached, he was shown massive support by the Pastors.  

Indicators already shows, Michael Kyazze is the next General Overseer National Fellowship of Born-Again Pentecostal Churches. 
In our next story, we shall write in details about Pr. Michael Kyazze and other aspirants, who of them has the best manifesto and why;
In today’s story, we shall dwell so much onto Bishop Lwere and why he fears leaving leaving office!

SHAMING BALOKOLE!
A close source has revealed to the News Editor Media that, Joshua Lwere is plotting to tell the AGM that the two years of his 2nd term were wasted under full of lock down so he didn’t perform. He would like his term extended!
Insiders believe, fearing to lose the eye of State House and other government top officials where he has been allegedly getting brown envelopes as a leader of the Pentecostal Churches in Uganda, Joshua Lwere is without shame and fear of God, set to abrogate the NFBPC Constitution and make himself life leader as General Overseer! 
This leading investigative news website has landed on a plot hatched by Bishop Joshua Lwere and a clique of his yes men, call them Bishops, to touch the NFBPC constitution and remove Article 22 (5 b) (b iii) which reads, “After two consecutive terms, the General Overseer may only be eligible for re-election if a period equal or more than the total length that he spent in office has elapsed.”
Meaning, since Lwere’s two terms have elapsed, a new General Overseer should be elected, for he may return to contest for the same office if he wishes to, in the future but not at the expiry of his two terms. So he has to leave office to pave way for the election of the new NFBPC leader.
However, Lwere doesn’t want to leave office, he wants the constitution amended so that he rules for life! 
In fact one of his yes men, a one Rev. Hezekiah Kambayaya who is the District overseer Bundibugyo district on March 3, 2022 posted on social me, that, “I wish NFBPC could make amendments of the constitution so that Bishop Lwere could lead again.” 
This is totally under contestation by over 2000 Pastors country wide, some saying, they will not tolerate Lwere’s dictatorial tendencies in Church. If he detests term limits, let him join active politics and leave National  Fellowship affairs to be managed by competent and God fearing leaders!
“The fellowship has struggled for years to manage its rented head office at Bukesa Capital Community Church owned by Pr. Ssozi. In fact, we were chased from the office for failure to pay rent arrears. The estates manager confiscated our furniture. After failing miserably like this, the person wants to lead NFBPC again.” Said Pastors who want Lwere out.
They accuse him for transfering to his company National Fellowship land in Namanve donated in 2013 by a one James Kisaliza former commissioner URA measuring approximately 1 acre. They say, that is what he has done for the Fellowship in his ten years tenure. 
“Here, we are true and we honour God. We are not liars, we got saved. If our brother Lwere believes in such dirty politics, let him go to open politics where they don’t agitate for term limits.” Said one of the top Pastors who have already vowed to fail Lwere’s unpopular plot.
We have been however shockingly informed that, the plot has been finalised, unless otherwise, Lwere is determined to change the Born Again Pentecostal Churches’ constitution and remove term limits for himself. How is he planning to do it? We shall come back to this later! 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT NFBPC
The National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (NFBPC-U) was formed 32 years ago in 1990.
Records show, it was an idea by the then President Museveni’s Government Minister Balaki Kirya who was a Born-Again. 
General Overseer (GO) of NFBPC is the ultimate leader of the Fellowship of Pentecostal Churches in Uganda.
The first General Overseer was Prof. Simeon Kayiwa of Namirembe Christian Fellowship. 
Kayiwa became GO in 1990 -1995 and was given a second term. 
In 2003, Apostle Alex Mitala took over from Prof. Simeon Kayiwa. His leadership ended in 2013 after 10 years and he left the office peacefully.
The mantle was given to the reigning leadership of Bishop Joshua Lwere in 2013 and his term remains with a few weeks to end.
Surprisingly, unlike his predecessors Prof. Simeon Kayiwa and Apostle Alex Mitala who truthfully served and left when their two terms expired, Lwere isn’t planning to leave office, he has copied notes from some politicians, he wants Constitution amended and influence a clique of a few people who he wants the amended constitution to empower and they vote for him so that he rules for life!

HOW IS THE GENERAL OVERSEER ELECTED
According to the the Constitution of the National Fellowship ov Born-Again Pentecostal Churches of Uganda (2007) as amended in 2010, 2013 and 2016, The General Overseeer is elected by the National Electoral College which is composed of 5 delegates from all Districts/Municipalities, 5 delegates from each 63 provinces and 5 delegates from each of 14 regions.

According to Article 22 (4) b) 
(a); The names of the candidates for the office of the General Overseer shall be forwarded by a minimum of 40% of the District Governing Council (s) from among the members of the National Electoral College, (with national reflection) to the Electoral Commission, which in turn shall forward them to the National Council of Elders for vetting.
(c) The Council of Elders (CoE) shall vet the candidates and forward the approved names to the Electoral Commission.
(d) The General Overseer will be elected at the National Electoral College Assembly by all the delegates eligible to vote.

CALLING AGM
In July 2022, Bishop Mark Wamala the General Secretary NFBPC wrote to NEC members, Members of the Council of Elders, the NFBPC Ministers and the NFBPC electoral Commission inviting them to the NFBPC Annual General Assembly scheduled for August 22nd – 25th, 2022 at Lwere’s Grace Christian Centre church located at Sir Apollo Kaggwa Road.
Others invited in the Annual General Meeting intended to clear Lwere for a third term are; The Constitutional review Commission, the five members from each of the NFBPC Regional councils, the five members from each of the provincial councils and the five members from each of the NFBPC district councils.
Bishop Wamala’s letter reads, “This is to officially invite you to the General Assembly as per Article 17: 2b of the Constitution as amended in 2016.”

DETAILS OF LWERE’S GAME PLAN
Because he doesn’t want to leave office of General Overseer, Joshua Lwere’s plot is about taking away the right of eligible voters of the GO and vesting the power into a clique of the House of Bishops, just like it is done in the Anglican Church, and they dictate on who should be the next GO.
Because this will be a new format of electing the GO, Lwere will automatically bounce back as the General Overseer!!
According to Lwere’s strategists, the usual process of election where aspirants move around the whole country, consulting pastors and soliciting for nomination, is already banned.

In a National Governing Council (NGC) meeting that sat in June 24, 2022 at Lwere’s Grace Assembly Christian Centre, the following resolutions were made with immediate effect;
● To hold Annual General Assembly (AGM) meeting which will take place from August 22nd -25th , 2022. (This is when Lwere’s team is planning to hijack NEC members and impose on them constitutional amendments, where General Overseer will be elected by a clique of about 14 people (Bishops).
● All Electoral Commission (EC) activities are suspended until after the Annual General Assembly (AGA), except the training of Commissioners, returning officers and election supervisors.
● All aspiring candidates showing interest and campaigning at all levels from National to sub counties are hereby stopped from doing so.

The statement was signed by; Bishop Joshua Lwere (GO), Bishop Mark Wamala (GS), Bishop George Odouc (NTR), Bishop Daniel Waddimba  (NPRO), Bishop Joseph Nsubuga  (NM), Bishop Moses Odongo (NC), Bishop Don Tumusiime  (RO Ankole), Bishop Julius Kamiza (RO Eastern), Bishop Leonard Sserwadda (RO Southern), Bishop Michael Grace Okello (RO Kigezi), Bishop Francis Gamukama (RO Rwenzori), Bishop Hudson Suubi (RO Central) and Bishop Godfrey Luwagga (RO Kampala). This is a clique fronted to bring back Lwere after the expiry of his two constitutional terms.

DEAL DETAILS
After amending the NFBPC constituition and power to elect the new GO is given to the 14 Bishops, insiders say, these Bishops will convene a meeting from where they will elect among themselves the new GO, probably Joshua Lwere who is the convener and Chairman.
For starters, Bishops are the Regional Overseers (RO) from the 14 regions making Uganda. These form the House of Bishops. 
The regions are; Karamoja, Teso, Lango, Acholi, Westnile, Bunyoro, Rwenzori, Kigezi, Ankole, Buganda Southern Part (Masaka to Mutukula), Central region, Busoga, Kampala and Bukedi. 
So these 14 will converge in a place, pray, and among them find the General Overseer. Lwere and his clique wants to do an episcopal election in a Fellowship, something which is contested by Pastors across the country.
“The Anglican approach in electing their leader cant work in Pentecostal churches. For the Anglican church, it is stimulous from ground. It is the whole Anglican church,but for NFBPC, this is a Fellowship. We are People of different background, coming together with registered legal ministries. You can not hijack and impose on us a leader who isn’t of our choice.” Said one of the Pastors from Karamoja region.
In an exclusive interview with this news website, this Pastor told us, “We put our trust in you to lead us, how dare you can not come back and say you locked the door for us because we are too many, that is why you are seeking mandate from only the Bishops. That is wrong.” 

In the next story, we will write in details a plot by hundreds of Pastors country over to block Bishop Lwere from touching their constitution. How will it end? Please watch the space!

WHAT NO BODY HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT A 7-PEOPLE TEAM BEHIND THE REFURBISHED KABAKA’S ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM CAR: WHO IS WHO

0

HERE IT IS: Omuk. John Fred Kiyimba ‘Freeman’ who chaired a committee that restored Kabaka’s Rolls-Royce Phantom car, hands it over to Katikkiro Mayiga. It was presented as a birthday gift to Kabaka.

STORY BY:
MOSES MUGALULA
BULANGE-MENGO

YESTERDAY Sunday July 31,  2022, Buganda Kingdom and friends celebrated Kabaka Mutebi’s 29th Coronation. Function was held in Memgo-Lubiri Palace.
Before this, two weeks back, on July 17, 2021, Buganda Kingdom, through Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga presented to His Majesty the Kabaka of Buganda, a refurbished Rolls Royce Phantom IV as a birthday gift. Thanks to the committee set up by Kabaka through Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga to oversee refurbishment of Rolls Royce vintage, for the job well done.

This historic function took place at the Kingdom Headquarters, in Bulange Mengo and was attended by a few invited guests.
While unveiling Rolls Royce Phantom IV that day and handing it over to Kabaka, the Buganda Kingdom Premier Charles Peter Mayiga said, bringing it back to life costed UGX 500M.

Some of the money came from the Kingdom treasurery while UGX 300M was fundraised by a committee set up on Thursday December 12, 2020 that oversaw refurbishment of 1st President of Uganda Sir Edward Muteesa II’s official car. While launching this committee, Katikkiro said Muteesa’s car was in a sorry state, the Kingdom had decided to repair and return it in its original form, the way it looked before the 1966 Buganda Crisis.
The committee was given a task of verifying what was needed to repair the Rolls Royce and fundraise for the required sums of money. In fact Mayiga said, this assignment was harder than the reconstruction of Kasubi Tombs or even Masengere.
In our story today, News Editor Media, an investigative News Website brings you a seven people committee, rather eight, who worked tirelessly and injected in money to bring back to life Rolls-Royce Phantom IV. Who is who;

OWEK. DAVID KYEWALABYE MALE
As the Buganda Kingdom minister in charge of Culture, Palaces, Tombs, Tourism, Conservation and Security, the refurbishment of Ssekabaka Muteesa’s car automatically falls in his docket.
The appointed committee directly worked under Minister Kyewalabye Male.
Born in Ssingo County, Owek. Male holds a Master’s of Science degree in management and implementation of Development projects from Manchester University in UK. 
He also holds a Bachelors degree in Library and Information Sciences from Makerere University, Kampala. He has a Diploma in project planning and Management and a Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management.

He worked with Uganda Hign Court Library as the expert Librarian on the British High Commission-funded reorganisation of the library. 
He served as the Pioneer chief University Librarian at Ndejje University and later joined Buganda Cultural and Development Foundation (BUCADEF), an NGO of Buganda Kingdom where he rose to the level of Chief Executive Officer. Some people believe, he was the brain behind BUCADEF, a successful organisation in the Kingdom of Buganda.
He also served as the Royal Treasurer of the Kabaka of Buganda (Omuwanika w’Enkuluze). 
Before His Majesty identified him for redeployment as a Minister, the workaholic Kyewalabye was the reigning Managing Director Buganda Land since 2007, an organisation set up by Kabaka to manage Kingdom land and other properties. 
At BLB, Owek. Male set up a wonderful system where all Kabaka’s land and properties can easily be located, surveyed and secured. 
Kabaka’s subjects on Kingdom land were sensitised about dangers of not registering their tenancy and during his regime, ‘Kyapa mungalo’ program was introduced, where willing tenants were given titles. This was sanctioned by the Landlord himself, Kabaka Mutebi.
Hundreds of tenants got titles and can easily get loans to develop their land now that they have titles. Those who didn’t want to get titles, were advised to continue paying busuulu to the land lord, to protect their bibanja.
Through annual revenue collectons from Kabaka’s land, Owek. Kyewalabye Male as MD BLB, constructed a magnificent building in Katwe, Kampala at a whooping UGX 11B and named it, ‘Muganzilwazza’. He handed it to Kabaka as a gift! 
He recruited into BLB fresh graduates from the University and made sure they serve the Kingdom with one heart. 
Those knowing Owek. Male, at BLB, he didnt tolerate laziness, embezzlement of funds and corruption. In fact insiders say, that is why Kabaka trusts him so much. 
He is transparent, a man of his word and very competent. 
Kabaka once assigned him to manage Ssingo FC when this county had issues with management. That year, Ssingo lifted the Masaza Cup. Unfortunately he left due to his busy schedule at Bulange.
He is the brain behind the reconstruction of Kasubi Tombs, he has devoted his time and expertise to put up a State-of-the-art cultural site.
He is also working on other Tombs and Palaces, and Kabaka’s lake. Palace sources told us, Kabaka talks to Owek. Kyewalabye Male almost on daily basis. He is a renown educationalist, owning Schools.
That is the man who supervised the refurbishment of Rolls Royce Phantom IV. 

OMUK. JOHN FRED KIYIMBA 
Commonly known as Kiyimba Freeman, this son of Mityana, also from Ssingo County is one of the youngest genuine billionaires in Kampala. A very humble and non-showbiz businessman, John Fred Kiyimba has been the Chairman of the committee appointed by the Katikkiro to refurbish Ssekabaka Muteesa’s Rolls Royce. 
He is the Chairman of Buganda Twezimbe, a committee working under Katikkiro Mayiga to rebuild Buganda Kingdom. 
This was the committee which fundraised money during ‘ettoffaali’ campaign in Buganda, other parts of the country and in diaspora.
Using his connections among fellow businessmen and other tycoons, Omuk. Freeman managed to collect enough funds for the reconstruction of Masengere building and on its completion, it was handed over to Kabaka Mutebi II. Masengere houses CBS radios, BBS Terefayina, Buganda Land Board (BLB) and other offices.
The Buganda Twezimbe under the leadership of Kiyimba Freeman also refurbished Bulange and Katikkiro’s official residence. 
Because of his hardworking and selfless service, Kiyimba Freeman was appointed to head different committees. 

His being an Anglican did not stop him from being appointed the chairman organising committee of the consecration of Bishop Serverus Jjumba of Masaka Diocese on July 6, 2019. He also chaired the organising committee of the consecration and enthronement of Dr. James Bukomeko as the 5th Anglican Bishop of Mityana Diocese, Church of Uganda.
Kiyimba Freeman was very influential in the committee that organised  the enthronement of Archbishop of Church of Uganda, Dr. Samuel Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu.
He was pivotal in the formation of BBS Terefayina, a fast growing Buganda Kingdom owned TV station and has an upper hand in its day to day management.
As mentioned earlier, Omuk. Kiyimba Freeman was born in Mityana in a village called Buswabulongo as you are heading to Central College Mityana.
His late father was buried at a village called Ttamu in Mityana while his mother who died during Covid-19 lockdown was buried in Masaka, Buddu county. 
A graduate from Makerere University, Kiyimba Freeman, in all his life, has never looked for a job. Since he left campus, he has been doing business, dealing in General merchandise. 

In Kikuubo, Kampala, he is among the leading dealers of Sugar and the official agent of Bidco products.

He owns hotels, apartments, Estates, and Fabulous Freeman Hyper market at the New Taxi Park in Kampala which was opened up by Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, two years ago.
Freeman owns a state-of-the-art home in Lungujja expected to be worth billions of shillings. 
When he organised a party to enter this house, he invited hundreds of people who ate and drank, majority packed food to their homes. 

Kiyimba Freeman is very loyal to Kabaka, when ever called to serve the Kingdom, he doesn’t give excuses.  
Analysts say, by Kabaka identifying him to chair a committee that worked on his father’s prestigious Rolls Royce, shows the King trusts his man. Indeed, he fulfilled the assignment. 

OMUK. GODFREY KIRUMIRA
Some call him Bagale. A filthy rich and jolly man, Godfrey Kirumira is the all times chairman of Bagagga Kwagalana, an association of richest businessmen in Kampala, Uganda. 

For those who didn’t know, Kirumira is among a few people in Kampala who have never separated with their riches, for years. He is a very generous man, and if Kirumira likes you and brings you closer, you will never test poverty again.
Insiders say, Kirumira entered business as far as Idi Amin era and was dealing in new bicycles and spare parts in present day Kiyembe, near old tax park.
Kirumira was very close to the late Archbishop of Kampala Cardinal Nsubuga and some people think, his riches are a result of the blessings of the fallen Catholic Church leader. Since then, Godfrey Kirumira has been rich.
He owns arcades in Kampala, petrol stations, hotels, estates and so much more. He has a fleet of expensive cars and if you enter his Buziga magnificent home compound, one may mistake it to be a car bond! He keeps on changing cars like clothes! 
In fact his Buziga house is a replica of Entebbe Presidential State House. Before shifting to his Buziga palatial home, he was living in his Muyenga multi billion mansion. 
With other celebrated businessmen like Mansool Yanga, Moses Kalungi ‘Bill Gates’ and the late Haji Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige (BMK), he was among the first local citizens to build and own powerful arcades in Ndeeba, Kampala. 
At Mengo, Kabaka has deployed Kirumira on many assignments. He was the chairman of the committee that refurbished ‘Twekobe ejjudde’, Kabaka’s Lubiri Palace which had been destroyed by Uganda armies of the past regimes. Kirumira’s committee imported expensive furniture for Twekobe that fits the diginity of His Majesty Kabaka.
On the Rolls Royce committee, Kirumira served as the second chairperson. Insiders say, this loyal subject was put on this committee majorly because he drives  expensive cars so he knew what it could take to bring Rolls Royce back to life.

OMUK. JOSEPH YIGA
On the committee, he was the treasurer. His name isn’t so much into media but he is filthy rich! 
He owns Steel and Tube company in Nakawa near Pepsi Cola. His company deals in steel bars, water tanks, etc. Yiga an Old boy of St. ‘s College Kisubi (SMACK), in 2016 single handedly bankrolled replacement of sheets on College Chapel.

Speaking about his industry of Steel & Tube’s journey over the years, he said it has been based on its vision to become the leading and most reliable manufacturer and supplier of steel profiles in East Africa and beyond.
Yiga says, it is this goal that has driven the company to recognition as one of Uganda’s most reputable suppliers of steel building materials.
“It has been 20 years since the company went from being a retailer to opening it’s first manufacturing plant, and there has been a lot of advancement – we now have a more diversified product portfolio with the introduction of new products to the Ugandan market such as the matte tile sheets trademarked MAT Tile, our flagship SMART Tanks, Ribbed BRC, the STIL TMX which is a higher grade of re-bars and now the D-Pipe Sections.” Revealed Tycoon JosephYiga.
He proudly said that the upward trend they keep seeing in their sales analytics is a testament to the market adoption of, and therefore positive sentiment towards their product offerings.
“Steel & Tube’s growth is largely attributable to its highly skilled workforce, and the incorporation of modern technologies and methodologies in the manufacturing processes we employ. This combination has allowed us to identify and respond to the economy’s changing demand structures while at the same time supporting the communities we work in.” Said Money magnet Joseph Yiga.
Him and Godfrey Kirumira fall under the same age bracket. 
Joseph Yiga is a cool man, a man of very few words but very intelligent if it comes to making money. 
A staunch Catholic who gives generously towards church projects, if you want easy connection to him, say anything good about Catholicism.
Joseph Yiga has been very active in all Kingdom programs, known for injecting in cash with one heart. 
Because he had the knowledge to do it, the committee relied on him in looking for the money to work on the Rolls Royce, he didn’t disappoint the appointing authority. 

PRINCE DAVID KINTU WASAJJA
The young brother to Kabaka Mutebi II, sat on the committee to represent the royal family in that, anything done on his father’s car, had to have his blessing.

Because of their too much connection to this car, Prince David Wasajja represented the Princes and Princesses.
When Central government was returning Sir Edward Muteesa’s Rolls Royce, Prince David Wasajja was at the Uganda Museum to receive the car. He was accompanied by Kingdom ministers who included Owek. Noah Kiyimba (Minister of Information) and Counsel Denis Bugaya (Communications manager Buganda Land Board), among others. (For those who don’t know, some of the money which worked on the Rolls Royce came from Buganda Land Board treasury).
Prince Wasajja was on a team sent to South Africa and England by His Majesty the Kabaka to find out details on the whereabouts of his father’s prestigious cars and facts about these car manufacturers. Some of the findings are still kept by Kabaka as confidentials.
Prince Wasajja, therefore, automatically had to be a member on a committee that refurbished his father’s Rolls Royce Phantom IV.

PROF. GORDON WAVAMUNNO

SHOCKING STORY! INSIDE NTUNGAMO MEETING WHEN MUSEVENI BLASTED VP JESSICA ALUPO FOR SUPPORTING FDC’S ATTAN IN SOROTI BY-ELECTION

● How NRM’s Herbert Ariko managed to defeat Alupo’s machinery to win Soroti City East MP seat

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

WHEN Court nulified the Soroti East constituency elections over distortion of boundaries, a complex puzzle emerged for the NRM that was keen to capture the crucial seat in the heart of Teso politics. 
Herbert Edmund Ariko, who served in the 10th Parliament as Member of parliament but lost 2021 polls to FDC’s Moses Attan, had been given a permanent and pensionable Job as the director in the office of the Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Anita Annet Among.

Sources at Parliament confirm that, Madam Speaker was not keen to release his trusted lieutenant and an agreement had been reached to have him back another candidate.

THE HERBERT ARIKO TRAP 
Herbert Ariko was then sent to Soroti to help galvanize the NRM party supporters to support the preferred candidate, only to be ambushed by emotional voters demanding that he contests as the NRM candidate. 

NTUNGAMO MEETING
With a divided NRM camp and an existing flag bearer who by law had the flag for 5 years, the party top brass sought audience with the party chairman and President Yoweri Museveni.
A meeting was called in Ntungamo at the time the president pitched camp there. 
The delegation included Vice president Jessica Alupo, Eastern region Vice chairman Capt. Mike Mukula, NRM EC boss Dr Tanga Odoi, Secretary General Richard Todwong and Herbert Ariko. 
While aboard the helicopter, the leaders generated consensus on what they would tell the head while Alupo remained quiet most part of the Journey. 
In front of the man from Rwakitura, Captain Mike Mukula made a case for Herbert Ariko candidature while the rest nodded in agreement. 

THE ALUPO SHOCKER
The VP Jessica Alupo on invitation to give her views as a daughter of the soil, allegedly sent the meeting into shock when she instead launched an attack on Ariko. 
She accused him of having failed to deliver to the voters making a case for why he lost the previous election. 
We are told, she asked NRM Party to back the candidature of FDC’s Moses Attan claiming he is a good opposition MP who is willing to work with the establishment while remaining in the FDC. In other words Attan was admitting to be a mole. 
The VP said Attan and Soroti city woman MP Joan Alobo are looking for an opportunity to to meet the head of state to discuss how they can work with him and she made a passionate appeal for the party to support Attan. 

TANGA ODOI PROTESTS
NRM EC chief Tanga Odoi interjected asking the VP wether Attan will be willing to carry the NRM flag to which the VP responded that he would still be in FDC but work with the party like many others are doing. 

M7 SLAMS ALUPO PROPOSAL
The head of state who looked betrayed, strongly rejected Alupo’s proposal saying the party will field a candidate and if the others want to work with the NRM they should come out clean. Museveni said to hell with Alupo’s idea, NRM is a mass party which will never fail to field a candidate in any election.
Vice president was in otherwards silenced! Ariko was endorsed by the ruling Party Chairman to contest and win this seat for NRM.

SHOWDOWN HEADS TO SOROTI
Speaker Anita Among keen to capture the seat for the NRM, put her soul and energy into the race deploying her blue eyed boys into the campaign. 
To protect the integrity of her office, madam Speaker stayed away from the official campaigns while coordinating a team that is on the ground. 
Sports minister Peter ogwang, Captain Mike Mukula and Soroti west MP Jonathan Ebwalu have been in constant touch with the Bukedea district Woman legislator.
Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa was also active in offering back end support to the Ariko campaign stepping foot in Soroti for fundraising. 
The duo would also hold meetings with the leadership of Jua kali, an influential grouping in the city that has previously been a pivotal campaign group for the FDC.  This team is now actively mobilising for the NRM.

ALUPO ENTERS SOROTI
With an eroded trust after the Ntungamo meeting, VP Alupo entered Soroti with a team of ministers loyal to her camp in the battle for supremacy in Teso politics 
With Ogwang, Mukula and the speaker on one side, the VP set up a parallel campaign structure one that is not trusted by the Ariko camp.
Sources close to NRM’s Ariko say the NRM candidate didn’t trust Alupo and decided to run his own race without involving her.

DONT COME TO MY RALLIES – ARIKO STOPS ALUPO
While all the other big shots including PM Robinah Nabanja shared the campaign platform with Ariko several times, reliable sources say Ariko asked VP Alupo to stay away from his rallies because of her message that he said, was an indirect support for FDC’s Attan, defying the party chairman’s decision.
The VP, insiders say, established a parallel campaign structure that had ministers Hellen Adoa, Asamo and former Tororo Municipality MP Sanjay Tana working away from the main campaign team of Herbert Ariko.

DIVISION HURTING THE PARTY
While  most analysts had earmarked the constituency as an FDC strong hold, the realities on the ground showed interesting dynamics Soroti city is where FDC’s Patrick Amuriat Oboi won the presidential polls and Paul Omer of the FDC is the mayor of the Division but the Soroti East Urban council is dominated by the NRM which has 20 councillors and independents allied to it compared to FDC’s 7 meaning a united front would create a powerful mobilization front. 

CAMPAIGN ENTERS FINAL STRETCH 
Retired colonel Kizza Besigye and NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi led the final assault for the opposition as they traversed the constituency rallying them to return Attan to Parliament. Prime Minister Nabanja also flew back to Soroti vowing to stay until victory is delivered .

A RACE TOO CLOSE TO CALL 
The race between the two leading candidates was phenomenon with both putting spirit fights to capture the seat.
In the end, Ariko scooped  9407 votes while Attan garnered 8771 votes. Ariko was declared winner, thanks to Rt. Hon. Speaker Anita Annet Among, Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, Captain Mike Mukula, NRM SG Richard Todwong, Minister Peter Ogwang, NRM EC boss Dr. Tanga Odoi, etc.
In other words ,Vice President’s fight against her own Party that politically resurrected her from the dead, went to waste, but exposed fights within NRM,

FINALLY! KAYONGO’S OWINO LAND TITLES CANCELLED, VENDORS JUBILATE AS MARKET OWNERSHIP RETURNS TO KCCA

0

● 5 People behind its cancellation named

STORY BY:
MOSES MUGALULA 
KAMPALA

VENDORS of St. Balikuddembe market commonly known as Owino led by their Chairperson Ms. Suzan Kushaba are in jubilations following cancellation of the three land titles which were registered in the nanes of SSLOA, a company run by former chairman Godfrey Nkajja Kayongo.
SSLOA stands for St. Balikuddembe Market Stalls, Space and Lockup Shops Owners Association.
Mr. Kayongo was among market leaders fired on directives of the Head of State Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for milking low income earners in markets.  
Speaking to this fastest growing news website, Madam Suzan Kushaba congratulated fellow vendors saying, their market land has been reclaimed and in safe hands.

Thanking the Almighty God who made it possible for Owino vendors to get back their land, Ms. Kushaba said, “The battle that has been raging on to get back our market land is now over. The three land titles formerly under SSLOA have been cancelled and transferred to KCCA management. We want to thank His Excellency the President for his able leadership, full support and guidance. As Owino market traders, we are very much proud of you Mr. President.”

Kushaba named other people who fought on the side of Owino market vendors in order for Kayongo’s titles to be cancelled.
Calling them Ugandan Patriots who saw that low income earners get justice and enjoy the benefits of the current government, Suzan Kushaba named the following people;

DOROTHY KISAKA
She is The Executive Director Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA). Kushaba said, Madam ED who she branded an iron lady laboured to make sure Kampala markets gain and benefit from all government programs. Her efforts were also geared at making sure SSLOA titles are cancelled so that Authority takes control of this market to benefit all.

DAVID BALONDEMU
A lawyer by profession, Counsel Balondemu is Chairman Kampala Land Board. Kushaba says, Balondemu is none of a few Ugandans who believe and practice,  intergrity, equality and justice for all. 

MAJOR EMMA KUTESA
His endless calls to who ever blocked vendors’ way, Kushaba says earned them victory.

PROPHET SAMUEL KAKANDE
He is The Synagogue Church of all Nations founder. He gave Suzan Kushaba a prophecy on May, 3rd 2009. Since, he has been playing endlessly praying for vendors to get back tneir land.

‘MY SHOCKING STORY @ NBS TV FRONTLINE SHOW & HOW OFWONO OPONDO VOWED TO KILL ME’, CITY LORD MAYOR LUKWAGO SPEAKS OUT

0

● NBS tv boss releases another Statement
● Ofwono Opondo to be grilled for indiscipline

STORY BY:
MOSES MUGALULA
KAMPALA

KAMPALA City Lord mayor Counsel Erias Lukwago has finally spoken out about what transpired in yesterday’s aborted Frontline show at NBS TV when Executive Director Media Centre Mr. Ofwono Opondo who doubles as Government spokesperson attacked him and allegedly vowed to shoot FDC Vice President Buganda region.
A statement released by Lord mayor Lukwago says, last night, he happened to be a Panelist at the NBS TV Talkshow that runs from 10:00pm to midnight. 
“The debate was about the sham Soroti City East Member of Parliament By-election. Midway the debate, hell broke loose when the Government Spokesperson, who is a regular Panelist (Frontliner) on the show, ran berserk and started throwing tantrums.” Reads Lukwago’s statement.
Lord mayor said, out of the blue, Ofwono Opondo sprung up, charged at him and threatened to evict him from the studios. 
Opondo pushed his hand into the pocket and around his waist, in a manner that suggested he wanted to draw a pistol at him.
“I dared him to shoot at me. He instead pounced on my neck and attempted to strangle me. I did not fight back but instead struggled to wriggle out of his grip. He then punched me in the chest and grabbed both collars of my jacket while huffing and puffing like a cobra.” Reads Lukwago’s statement.
He says, the Moderator, Charles Mwangushya moved in to restrain him but to no avail. He was joined by a Co-Panelist, the Hon. Winnie Kiiza, former Leader of Opposition but the now wild Opondo would not relent as he continued to maul Lukwago, while battering and kicking him in the stomach.
Being a civilized and mindful of the law of unintended consequences, which could turn out to be catastrophic, Lord mayor chose not to engage in a fist fight. He instead concentrated on shielding my face with both palms.
It was at this moment that another Panelist, the Hon. Chris Baryomunsi, Minister for ICT and National Guidance, who had all along been witnessing the melodrama, joined the duo to prevail over a rampaging Opondo.
The Talkshow ended prematurely and Opondo was shouting at the top of his voice that he was going to finish Lord mayor off in the corridors of NBS TV or outside the building. He made frantic calls to people Lord mayor did not understand, requesting for ‘reinforcement.’
The DPC, Kira Road Police Station, Ssebuyungo, together with the Commander Operations, Aden Muzawula, entered with several police personnel. They made arrangements with Hon. Baryomunsi to escort Lukwago back home.
Today morning, Lukwago went to Kira Road Police Station and opened up a Criminal Case before the O.C C.I.D and other Police Officers. He also moved to NBS and met with the Management to secure the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footage of the said ugly scene but his efforts are yet to yield positive results. 
“In my language, we have an old adage that; “Olaba nkaabira mubikire, naye ate ankutukidde mungalo…!!! I will stop at nothing in search for Justice. In addition to the aforesaid criminal proceedings, civil action will also be pursued in Courts of Law in an effort to deal with impunity in our country.” Reads Statement signed by Lord mayor Ericsson Lukwago.
In another statement released by Desire Derekford Mugumisa, Head of Corporate Affairs at NBS,  management condemned this unfortunate incident.
“The incident violates our Editorial policy and the Minimum Broadcasting Standards. We once again apologize to our esteemed viewers for having had to experience that content and ending the show prematurely.” Reads Statement from NBS boss.
He said, their teams are further investigating the matter and we shall take action to find amicable resolution from the findings.
