● Office of Speaker denies knowledge about the UGX 40M give away
● Man behind crafting this propaganda identified

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

LATEST from the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP), Party officials have refuted media reports that some of their MPs got cash amounting to UGX 40M each, they have confirmed to this investigative dependable news website how they have no evidence pinning any of their members for having got that money from Speaker Anita Among as it was alleged.
In an exclusive interview to our senior reporter, a section of party officials who requested anonymity have revealed to us that all said about their MPs getting money is just hearsay, “We don’t have proof, therefore, public should ignore the street talk.”
This comes after media reports quoting some of party leaders alleging that some NUP Members together with other opposition members of parliament from different opposition parties picked UGX 40M each from the residence of speaker of Parliament in Nakasero. Sources from the office of the Speaker have denied knowledge about this development saying, the one who alleges must prove. Mr. Chris Obore, Director Communications Parliament didn’t mince words, he said this is all about NUP party wrangles, there is infighting going on, that is why blackmail amongst fellow leaders is too much but the truth is, no cash has been given out to these MPs as alleged.
Rumour had it that,  almost all the 529 members of Parliament got this handshake from Speaker Anita and that, for the NRM and independent legislators, cash was deposited on their bank accounts.
But for the opposition members, they picked in person this money from Speaker’s home.
In fact, there were reports that NUP leadership directed their Members of parliament to return this money calling it a bribe because it doesn’t indicate the reason why they received it.

WHERE IS THE PROOF THAT MPS RECEIVED THE MONEY?
When our investigations team approached NUP leaders to tell us how they found out that their MPs also got the said money, they categorically said, they can’t produce the proof, “These are just allegations which we can’t prove beyond any reasonable doubt.”
“You can’t say so and so got the money unless you have proof which we don’t have. There is no captured record of any members receiving the said money. Unless someone with proof can help us and produce it, such a leading opposition party can’t crucify it’s members depending on guess work.” Said a reputable source from NUP.
We tasked the party officials to explain about a statement said to be from the party headquarters directing their MPs to return the said cash.
“Ofcourse as NUP we can’t tolerate acts of corruption and bribery. If any member picked that money, let it be returned. But the fact is, we have no proof that our Members of parliament picked the money from Speaker Anita Among as it was alleged.” Sources from party headquarters told this news website today evening.
We have ascertained that it is true there was a caucus meeting on Monday and these allegations were raised but still, there was no evidence tabled pinning any member on receiving the said money. Everything is just allegations.
Party officials think, this might be a plot hacked by the regime opportunists to divert public about the National budget which according to them will not deliver the country from acute poverty to prosperity. 
“When you analyse the 2022/2023 National Budget, the biggest share is taken by State House and Security. This Budget is intending to over milk a cow (Ugandans) which is poorly fed. Now to divert the country from analysing the Budget, that street talk of who received money from the Speaker had to be crafted. No wonder, some of our own members are aiding the regime in spreading this false rumour.” Sources revealed.
Insiders have identified a one Katongole who was once arrested on charges of raping a girl called Aisha, that he is behind the mission to discredit NUP.
All started when top party leadership blocked Katongole from being appointed on any KUNGA committee following a directive given during a meeting held at Busaabala One Love Beach. 
Katongole has committed grave crimes against NUP Party and one time, NUP youth wanted to squeeze his huge balls for eating and splashing money with Rwandese women, that he solicited to facilitate families of political prisoners.
A decorated conman, Katongole fundraised money from NUP supporters from diaspora to support families of NUP political prisoners. None of them received even a single coin. Guy spent it with women.
It is on this and other grounds that he was blocked from taking up any responsibility in the party.
No wonder, he has been talked about as the one behind spreading and faking lists about some NUP MPs said to have received money of course with no laid proof.
The party however insists on transparency and accountability by each of their legislators. That is why it directed any MP who might have received the money to return it.
Now the question is, who will return the money, and which money, now that the party has confirmed, it has no proof, all is just hearsay? 
We have talked to some NUP MPs but they refused to comment on issues raised out of anonymous statements. They are eagerly waiting for an official statement from their Party
Our ears are on ground, we will feed you on any development.

Deputy RDC Kagenyi on a fact finding misson in a certain hospital

STORY BY MARY NAKASI
MANAFWA DISTRICT
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

DETERMINED to deliver President Museveni’s promises to the people of Manafwa District during 2021 elections, area Deputy RDC Kagenyi Lukka has outlawed continuous politicking in his area of jurisdiction.
During his on spot field tours on Monday that took him to Khabutola, Bugobero and Sibanga sub-counties with keen interest on the impact of the elderly SAGE program, Kagenyi assured the locals that it’s time for service delivery until the next general elections in 2026.
Reminding them about the forthcoming women elections, Kagenyi appealed to the people of Manafwa to put emphasis on income generating activities.
“During the general elections, you trusted President Museveni and the NRM government with the mandate of managing this country untill 2026 when we shall go to the polls again meaning time for politics is over. However, some opposition adherents keep politicking all the time thereby diverting the attention of our people which to us as the RDC’s office won’t tolerate anymore”, he emphasized, assuring opposition sympathisers that politics is a zero-sum game where the winner takes it all.
He notified the attentive audience that the 44km road from Bumbobi to Lwakhakha boarder with Kenya that goes through Nabumali, Shikoye, Khuboda, Mayenze, Shibanga and Namisindwa has eased the means of trade mostly for coffee and banana farmers although opposition supporters do not see any economic impact in this.
The assertive Deputy RDC also visited Shibanga Health Centre IV, Butiru Health Centre III, Buwagogo Seed School and Bubulo Health Center IV where he toured the newly constructed modern equipped laboratory and promised the medical staff of continued government support.
Observing that the Social Assistance Grant for Elderly Empowerment program is being felt on ground, the RDC revealed that people in the area have and continue to embrace government programs like Emyooga, PDM, women enterprise funds among others.
He reminded locals that there is no single politician who puts food on their respective tables and that his target is to get all of them out of poverty by encouraging them to look at commercial agriculture and dump subsistance farming.
“That mentality of okukolera ekidda kyonka (working for the stomach) must stop. People from the three subcounties are famous for being the best Arabic coffee farmers in the whole of Manafwa and Bugisu subregion according to the research i made but what happened? I am therefore appealling to you to work hard in these years and we rekindle our lost glory because it is tenable”. Said Mr. Kagenyi.
Hardly three months in the District, Kagenyi’s presence is being felt across the entire area of his jurisdiction and the sky seems to be the limit.

Yesterday, Mr Kagenyi Lukka addressed the Alliance of Town council mayors and subcounty chairpersons at manafwa town hall.
He reminded the local governments leaders of their role to effectively offer services to the people they lead.
Mr Kagenyi vowed that he will not entertain any leader who sabotage gov’t programs aimed at uplifting and alleviating poverty at household levels.

Kabaka and Katikkiro Mayiga at Mengo Palace on May 13, 2022

STORY BY:
MEDDIE KITYO
NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

LAWYERS from two popular legal firms of Ms. K&K Advocates (Kiwanuka & Karugire Advocates) and Ms. S & L Advocates (Sebalu and Lule Advocates) acting on instructions of Buganda Kingdom, last week met and advised businessman Hamis Kiggundu to conceed cancellation of what they reffered to as fake titles and make a public apology or else, he will be left naked!
This was during a tribunal hearing at the Commissioner Land Registration officer in Kampala last week.
Buganda Kingdom petitioned the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel Kiggundu’s titles accusing him of overlapping Kabaka’s land with freehold titles.
The disputed land is situated between Serena-Kigo and Mirembe Villas land, off Munyonyo Spur Road, and extends inwards sharing common boundaries with Serena-Kigo, Mirembe Villas, and the Lake. Usable acreage is 78.086 acres whereas 15.236 acres incorporate access roads.
Kiggundu asserts that he is the rightful owner of the land and that he legally obtained it from the Wakiso district Land Board although Wakiso Land Board disowns him saying signatures were forged.

@ THE OFFICE COMMISSIONER LAND REGISTRATION
According to an insider at the office of the Commissioner Land Registration, Kabaka’s lawyers arrived at the tribunal in time for hearing, ready to expose Hamis Kiggundu who they insist faked titles on Kabaka’s Kigo land.
They petitioned for the cancellation of these fake titles so that Ham doesn’t hoodwink other people and sell them this land which doesn’t exist.
Hamis who a few days ago went to Mengo and confessed before cameras how he gave up on Kabaka’s land, shockingly ate his vomit when he changed his mind and protested cancellation of the fake titles. 
Commissioner Land Registration tribunal summoned the two parties to listen to them before pronouncing themselves on the cancellation application.
Minutes later, after the arrival of Kabaka’s lawyers, Hamis Kiggundu entered with his front man Edward Nakibinge with whom they claim ownership of Kigo land through Kiham Enterprises Ltd. 
Kiggundu who looked frustrated because of the absence of his lawyer Muwema, was seen moving up and down, making endless calls to someone whom we believe was his lawyer Fred Muwema of Muwema & Co. Advocates.
Minutes later, counsel Muwema arrived and on his arrival, he asked tribunal for adjournment to grant him more time to study his client’s titles. 
“We are asking for a two weeks’ adjournment…” pleaded Kiggundu’s lawyer Muwema, to which Kabaka’s lawyer objected saying that was too much time. There is nothing much Muwema was studying, the fact is Hamis Kiggundu’s land titles are fake, they should just be cancelled, nothing much.
Tribunal gave Muwema only one week and they are expected to return today.

KABAKA’S LAWYERS SET TOUGH TERMS
After adjournment, Hamis Kiggundu approached Kabaka’s lawyers and asked them why they are tainting his name before Kabaka’s subjects yet he is a loyal subject.
In his response, one of the lawyers told Kiggundu, “You are just making false allegations. None of us has ever gone to media houses to spit fire against you like you do against Buganda Land Board officials. We have your recordings to the media blackmailing some BLB officials and labelling them as fraudsters. By the way, after this land matter, we have other instructions to sue you over your defamatory statements against Kabaka’s officials.”
While addressing media a few days ago, Hamis Kiggundu named BLB officials he wanted Katikkiro Mayiga to investigate for what he termed as being fraudster.

These officials said Kiggundu is targeting them because they blocked his deal to grab over 120 acres of Kabaka’s Kigo land. 
We are reliably informed, Kabaka’s lawyers advised Hamis Kiggundu to conceed cancellation of his fake titles created on Kabaka’s land and make a public apology to His Majesty The Kabaka of Buganda, his officials and to all the people of Buganda for the plot he had crafted to grab Kabaka’s land.
“You cancel the fake titles and make a public apology. Short of this, we will leave you naked.” Vowed Kabaka’s lawyers.

WE HAVE NO OBJECTION WITH BOUNDARY OPENING – KABAKA’S LAWYERS.
On Hamis Kiggundu’s request for boundary opening to ascertain his freehold land from Kabaka’s mailo land, Kabaka’s lawyers said they are very okay with it, they have no objections.
In a letter dated May 24, Mr. Henry Opio Ogenyi the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development
said there were overlaps between Kyadondo Block 273, Plot 38 (Mailo Title) and Kyadondo Block 273, Plots (23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977). 
The Ministry called for a boundary opening exercise to determine the exact borders of the 140-acres of land in Kigo which Hamis Kiggundu claims. 
For starters, boundary opening is a method for determining the exact borders of a piece of property. It mainly focuses on the definition of the corners of a plot. 
In a letter to CEO Buganda Land Board, Mr. Ogenyi said, “There is a need for boundary opening of plots 23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977 in relation plot 38, all Kyandondo block 273.” 
Kiggundu had also proposed that a joint boundary opening exercise of both the freehold land titles comprised of Kyadondo Block 273 Plots 23974, 23975, 23976, 23977 and the Kabaka’s Private Mailo land comprised of Kyadondo  Block 273 Plots 87, 99,110 be carried out to seek clarifications and ascertain the true location of both properties and as a way of confirming that the two properties are separate, do not overlap into one another.  Click here to read this story: KATIKKIRO MAYIGA FINALLY SPEAKS OUT ON HOW HAMIS KIGGUNDU FAKED TITLES ON KABAKA’S KIGO LAND; POLICE BOSSES, UMEME & NEMA TO BE QUIZZED

ANOTHER TOUGH TERM
Kabaka’s lawyers said, “We also want boundary opening, however, land boundary is opened on two genuine titles but his is disputed, it’s fake. 
Let’s first put Hamis Kiggundu’s title on a test of legality. First question/procedure which Mr. Kiggundu must address, is the authenticity of his titles. How did he get them? Officials of Wakiso Land Board say their signatures were forged, and you call that a genuine title?” Asked Kabaka’s lawyers.
Secondly they asked Kiggundu to explain how Kajjansi Town Coucil land committee sanctioned him to get this land yet the disputed Kabaka’s Kigo land is in Makindye Ssaabagabo Municipality. 
“Don’t you think may be your land is somewhere else not in Kigo as you allege?” Lawyers asked.
Kabaka’s lawyers say the whole Country was mapped, if Hamis says his land is in the lake area, which is public land,
“Public land comes from crown land. Crown land was crown grant. We are asking Kiggundu for his crown grant number if he is talking about owning public land.

When JEEMA party president Hon. Basalirwa Asuman presided over the swearing in ceremony of new party leaders in various portfolios on 26th May 2022 at the party headquarters in Mengo

NEWS EDITOR MEDIA

JUSTICE FORUM Party headquarters in Mengo, Rubaga division, Kampala Capital City is reportedly besieged by security operatives after getting intelligence that Dr. Kizza Besigye, the leader of a political pressure group, People’s Front for Transtion (PTF) was planing to use this venue as a command centre to disorganise today’s Heroes’ day celebrations!
Authorities at JEEMA party have denied knowledge about the said plot.
They want police and other security officers who since today morning put their party headquarters under siege to immediately leave saying as a party, they have a right to utilize their offices in executing the day to day work of the party without any beleaguerment.
Citing Article 69 (1) of the 1995 Constitution, Mr. Frederick Deric Namakajo the Secretary Legal Affairs, JEEMA Party has said, ” Ugandans adopted the multi-party system as their choice and as such, under Article 72 and Section 3, 4 & 6 of the Political Party and Organizations Act 2005, the Justice Forum (JEEMA) was registered with the Electoral Commission in 2005 as a Political Party and its registered offices located at JEEMA. These offices are never police barracks neither station.”
This news website has learnt that, today morning on the 9th day of June 2022 being a Heroes day, military operatives besieged JEEMA Party headquarters causing fear and intimidation not only to party officials, members but to the residents living within Mengo.
Mr. Namakajo says, all this is done with no explanation given by the said officers.
“This act indeed has left thoughts in our minds not limited to whether it is US who have held the Heroes’ day celebrations or we are to be awarded Heroes medals for such deployment.” Reads Namakajo’s letter to security officials.
This is the second time within a period of less than a month, JEEMA headquarter is besieged. The first time was on May 12, 2022 a day Dr. Kizza Besigye was put under house arrest after he was intercepted by security operatives following his attempt to mobilise Ugandans to raise up against the skyrocketing basic commodity prices which the Front believes that was and is affecting common citizens.
The same military operatives, that same day, beleaguered, besieged and encircled the JEEMA Party headquarters to a stand still the party work for a full day, psychologically torturing JEEMA staff and the surrounding community, according to Mr. Namakajo.
In his letter addressed to security officers, Namakajo has reminded them of President Calvin Coolidge who once said, ‘No one is compelled to choose the profession of a police officer, but having chosen it, every one is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements.
“A commitment to the vocation of law enforcement is a commitment of justice. We are talking about JUSTICE which is an acronym of JEEMA. To those of you who have answered the call to become police professionals, the letters making up the word JUSTICE represent a commitment that is central to who you are, how you act and what you represent. So are you representing those letters or orders from someone?” Asked JEEMA’s Secretary for Legal Affairs, urging government through the enforcement agencies to take this as a serious issue and to know that JEEMA condemns such acts as they deem them to be the acts of a dictator and a fearing government living in guilt.
