The Minister said, “Normally, contributions come to the office of the Prime Minister.  But when we got a request from Pr.Jackson Senyonga to come and receive the donation at Church, we said ok, we shall take time off and come because we know about the hundreds of people you are serving here.”

More people flocked Christian Life Church for relief food

Since the Lockdown, Christian Life Church has been helping hundreds of people in camera. A lot of families have benefited. The church has been sending people money to buy food and other basic necessities. 

“We have decided to officially answer our President’s appeal to donate to the National Taskforce.” Senyonga told Minister Karoro Okurut.

The minister revealed that, “The Coronavirus monster came for all of us. It has come to the entire world and the lesson that God is putting across is that he is in control.

“We are going to feed hungry people in most parts of Kampala and neighbouring areas, then after, we will distribute food to other districts of the country because the National Pastors Alliance (NPA) I lead has membership of 27000 pastors countrywide.” Said Senyonga assuring them that, “We have to reach all of you because you need our help and we will stand with you.”

According to his program, they will reach out to different regions of the country.

In the first batch, Pr. Senyonga was allowed to give out and identify people who are in need in the areas of Kawempe. The list was compiled by local leaders of 119 villages. Thousands lined up for maize flour, beans, sugar and soap.

Flanked by his wife, Pr. Senyonga thanked the Church saying although the gates to the churches were closed during the National lockdown, the gates of Heaven remained open.

Churches have not ceased praying and interceeding for a Covid-19 free Country.

“We want to thank God for the opportunity he has given us to serve his people. As you know, Christian Life Church is here to serve the people of God in Uganda and World over. We are under attack by Coronavirus but we are defeating it, each one of us must understand  that every person has a role to play.” Said Pr. Senyonga, thanking  God for the wisdom he has given president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who he said has perfectly led this country in the war against Covid-19.

THANK U FOR COMING: Minister Karoro signs visitors’ book

“With wisdom, our president has guided us on how to tame the Spreading Coronavirus and see, as Uganda, we are defeating this pandemic. We thank God for the Prime minister’s office which is heading the Covid-19 National Taskforce and the Minister of Health Dr. Jane Ruth Acheng who has worked tirelessly to see that her ministry sets guidelines which must be followed for all of us to remain safe.” Said Pr. Jackson Senyonga.

Asked by our reporter about the popular P5 prayers whether they ended with closing churches, he said, “P5 is on going. We are using the same pulpits and God’s people join us  from their houses, on their tv sets and Top radio. The number has increased. Millions of Ugandans are now praying with us.”

CLC Covid-19 Taskforce on duty

Asked about how churches once opened,   will control the spread of Covid 19, Pr. Senyonga said, they will observe the guidelines like social distancing,  increasing the number of church services to accommodate small congregations,  spreading seats and avoiding handshakes. 

“All our church members are part of the community, all communities have been sensitised about how to observe ministry of Health guidelines. What the churches need to do is making internal changes like spreading the seats for social distancing, washing hands before the services, having more services. Churches are not chaotic like markets. We are more organised.” Noted Pr. Senyonga.

GOSPEL WITH ACTION: Dr. Jackson Senyonga

He attacked false prophets hoodwinking the public by telling lies that in Uganda there is no Covid-19. 

“Avoid such misleading voices. Avoid such false prophets like Augustine Yiga.” Warns Pr. Senyonga.

WE’RE TIRED! NRM POOR YOUTHS VOW TO COMMAND MASS NATION WIDE DEMONSTRATIONS IF M7 DOESN’T LIFT LOCKDOWN THIS TIME

NEWS EDITOR

RULING National Resistance Movement (NRM) Party youths of the Uganda Poor Youth Movement have sounded warning bells to President Museveni ahead of Presidential address on the Covid-19 pandemic update that he must open up the economy or they will announce National mass demonstrations.

In a statement released by Uganda Poor Youth Movement cordinator Isa Kato, youths have been quiet and everything has jammed because of the lockdown.  At its expiry tomorrow, if the president announces its extention, they will have no other option but to announce National demonstrations. 

Isa Kato has told News Editor Media that, “NRM Poor Youth are cordially summoned on short notice for Wednesday 20th May Demonstrations. We are going for a National disobedience if the President fails to lift the lock down. We are totally fed up.”

“During this period, different organizations are firing employees, Government is firing people without a single pay yet at parliament, MPs are in a cash bonanza.This is madness. Poor Youths are going to protest against this move of giving MPs 40M each, we shall protest against Organizations firing their staff.” Reads NRM Poor Youth statement.

They say, many youths have been affected in the lockdown, if the president doesn’t lift it and order companies to desist from firing staff, “We will use the language he understands better.”

In his televised address, the Head of State is expected not to open Schools, Churches,  Mosques, sports arenas, bars, night clubs and public transport being top places for concentrations.

President Museveni to address the country at the expiry of 14 days Covid-19 Lockdown

Museveni is expected to address the issue of truck drivers who have continued to carry the coronavirus to Ugandans as he extends the lockdown.

According to his statement posted on his facebook page today mid day, Museveni has said, “At 8pm tonight, I will deliver my 14th address on the Covid-19 pandemic. I urge Ugandans to continue observing all guidelines given to you by the government and health experts. Importantly, make sure you wear a face mask whenever you are out in the public.”

However, we are told, it has been postponed to tomorrow Tuesday

NRM Poor Youth say, if the president goes ahead to take that route, they will be left with no other option but to call for a National disobedience.

Isa Kato, NRM Poor Youth National Cordinator

“How can you lock us inside our homes hungry and jobless while truck drivers are roaming the streets of Kampala? And you think we will allow this any more? Wait you will see. We are going to protest about government mafias reaping billions out of this Pandemic.” Warned NRM Poor Youth.  

Their National cordinator Isa Kato has told us, they are protesting against Government move to deduct UGX 10,000 from all employees as a contribution to the Covid-19 Task force. 

NRM POOR YOUTH STATEMENT
Dear all Ugandans, we greet you in the name of God. 

We thank you for the spirited fight you have put up and the zeal to fight the spread of Corona Virus within the Country. We congratulate you for the bravery and endurance you have exhibited from the time our Country was closed in March 2020. 

We have however observed that the period during which we are under Quarantine, our Leaders have decided to take advantage of the situation by allocating themselves money, stealing people’s donations, allocating themselves contracts and all sinister moves orchestrated to make sure they never open up the Country. 

Kuluva Hospital in Arua sends over 90 health workers on a forced leave with 6 months unpaid arrears, says reports

We are emphatically asking the President to tell us why he is still locking up the economy of Uganda? 

We are asking President Museveni to explain to Ugandans why he is dishing out 40 Million shillings of Tax Payers Money to each Member of Parliament? 

We want the President to explain why they are planning to take 10,000/= from each Ugandan Employed under the guise of national contribution? This is an illegal deduction and thuggery. 

We want the President with his Governent to explain to Ugandans how Cargo coming inside the Country keeps on increasing with a closed economy? 

We would like the President to give clear guidance on the issue of Rent dues which Ugandans are supposed to pay immediately they return to work in their shops and offices. The President has been deliberately avoiding to speak about this grave concern. 

The President is hereby asked to open the Country since they have failed to come up with any reason why they keep Ugandans inside their homes. Ugandans should be left to go and work while reminding them to wear Masks, Wash hands with soap and maintain social distancing as per the Health Officials Guidelines.  

We need a clear solution over the truck driver’s contagion. 

We have brought out all these concerns on behalf of the people of Uganda. 

If Government is not listening to us the voice of all Poor People of Uganda, then we are calling upon all active political youth groups, main stream political parties and all concerned Ugandans to walk to State House Nakasero and Petition President Museveni seeking for an explanation.

THE Institute of Parliamentary Studies has been proudly renamed after House Speaker Rt. Hon. Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga owing to her exceptional commitment to Parliament since 1989.

The Ngora County Member of Parliament, David Abala noted during the debate that Speaker Kadaga devoted her life to serve the Parliament of Uganda and has since 1989 loyally and outstandingly served the institution hence the need to name the institute after her. 

“The Right Honorable Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga has devoted unparalleled, exceptional and unequaled service to Parliament. The Institute should have been named after her yesterday,” said Abala.

ENEMY IN OPPOSITION: HOW JEEMA PARTY SPOKESMAN SSENTONGO KYAMUNDU WAS HIRED TO MALICE BOBI WINE, ALOYSIUS MUKASA & PEOPLE POWER (PART I)

Shocking Details About A Cooked Fake Rape Story! 

NEWS EDITOR

ALL started when coordinators of People Power in Lubaga South rejected Siraje Kifampa, Forum for Justice (JEEMA) party 2016 Lubaga South MP loser and instead endorsed money magnet Aloysius Mukasa for the job in 2021!

Also Read: https://www.newseditor.co.ug/2020/05/10/lubaga-south-mp-2021-race-people-powers-aloysius-mukasa-leads-opinion-poll-by-62-as-competitors-turn-to-witchcraft-blackmail/

At first, Kifampa’s clique thought, since People Power supreme leader Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi had endorsed and single handedly awarded Hon. Asuman Basalirwa JEEMA president the only seat this Political party has in the 10th Parliament, he was going to be an automatic endorsement for Lubaga South MP seat.

Little did Kifampa and his mercenary Abdulnoor Ssentongo Kyamundu the JEEMA spokesman know that Lubaga South was a very different case, Hon. Bobi Wine wanted a dangerous substitute to unseat ‘rebel’ Paul Kato Lubwama yet Kifampa was unfit for the job.

TROUBLED MAN: Kyamundu Ssentongo, JEEMA Spokesman

By the time Kifampa knew that People Power had instead endorsed poweful businessman Aloysious Mukasa for the job, it was too late for the JEEMA man.

However, Kyamundu assured his paymaster how he would turn the gun against Bobi Wine and People Power, if they went ahead to promote the Aloysius Mukasa Lubaga South MP project.

No wonder, he manufactured a fake rape story and circulated by this very JEEMA party Spokesman Ssentongo Kyamundu, with the intention to malice Bobi Wine, taint People Power and pull Aloysius Mukasa through the mud.

Playing a game for political masqueraders,  Kyamundu contacted some opposition politicians on Whatsapp and begged them to help him circulate his hate message against People Power, Bobi Wine and his blue eyed boy Aloysius Mukasa.

Most of those he reached out to, however  rejected the deal, asking him who he was working for by blackmailing Hon. Kyagulanyi and People Power.

On talking to the alleged raped girl, what we found out is laughable. We will come back to that later!

ASUMAN BASALIRWA BUGIRI MP WIN
After a successful mission in Bugiri Municipality where Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi delivered a win to JEEMA Party,  Abdulnoor Kyamundu attacked People Power leadership for claiming this victory.

He in fact picked a war with JEEMA Party President Asuman Basalirwa for paying allegiance to Hon. Kyagulanyi saying, “It was not him, we worked for this victory.”

To Kyamundu, People Power did not deserve salutations for their Bugiri Municipality efforts. Thanks to Hon. Asuman Basalirwa, he ignored this motor-mouthed man!

Him and Kyagulanyi are like brothers and will never underestimate the role he played in Bugiri Municipality by elections. 

THE ALOYSIUS MUKASA FACTOR
It was a Wednesday Morning when a certain powerful MP in People Power top hierarchy  hosted Mukasa at his residence in Nalumunye for a confidential meeting which lasted for about 2 hrs.

We were later informed, this meeting was Scheduled by none other than Hon. Bobi Wine. What the two leaders discussed in camera,  will be a story for another day.

But briefly, Mukasa was given notes on how to connect to People Power foot soldiers in the Constituency. Among them was Julius Katongole, then interim Lubaga South People Power cordinator.

KYAMUNDU INSULTS MUKASA ON STAR TV
A few days later, Aloysius Mukasa was hosted alongside JEEMA’s Kyamundu on Star Tv during a Saturday morning political talk show.

JEEMA President Basalirwa and Mukasa are good friends

When the show host Mr. Kisubi introduced his guest Mukasa as one from People Power,  Kyamundu almost stormed out of the studios objecting that, ‘This man Mukasa is not one of us. We don’t know him in People Power.’

Kyamundu must have blindly thought, People Power was a branch of JEEMA which he Speaks for!!

A soft speaking Mukasa who by then had not realized Kyamundu as a mercenary hired by fading politician Kifampa to fight him, cornered him by eloquently informing viewers what People Power is. Mukasa tasked Kyamundu to elaborate on the process that is followed for one to become a registered member of People power.This JEEMA man froze for lack of  a satisfactory answer. Poor Kyamundu was made to eat his words!  

MUKASA, BOBI TEAM MEET
Led by Chairman Fred Nyanzi, a team of Kyagulanyi’s trusted men and women invited Aloysius Mukasa for a meeting. 

We are told, this selected team was deployed by Hon. Kyagulanyi to identify able leaders who want to contest for political offices in 2021.

Chairman Nyanzi is the cordinator of the Informal sector in People Power and a brother to Bobi Wine.

When Mukasa perfectly laid his game plan on how to claim Lubaga South, Nyanzi liked his ideas and since then, the two have become inseparable.

BOBI MEETS LUBAGA YOUTHS ABOUT 2021 MP CANDIDATES
A group of Lubaga youths met Hon. Kyagulanyi at his Magere State House.

Lubaga North was led by Hakim Saula Kizza while Lubaga South was led by Julius Katongole.

They asked Bobi to guide them on who to support because almost every aspiring candidate identifies with People Power.

In his wise counsel, Kyagulanyi said, “People Power is not a political party.  It is a van  carrying agents of change. We don’t mind, either those agents come from NRM, DP, FDC, UPC, CP JEEMA or Independents. We are ready to work with everyone who genuinely wants change.”

“That candidate who commands support from the voters, who has structures and truly supports people power, will be our candidate. So tell those candidates to be on ground, we shall go with what people say.” Said Kyagulanyi.

Now Kifampa who thought Kyagulanyi would endorse him, was hit by the Ghetto gladiator’s response. Kyagulanyi  made it clear that he would only support a candidate who is on ground, fully endorsed and recognised by voters and a genuine supporter of People Power. These conditions will automatically  throw political  jokers like Kifampa who only make their presence felt during Juma Prayers out of the equation. 

BOBI, MUKASA MEET
A meeting was scheduled by Chairman Nyanzi for Bobi Wine and Mukasa to meet.

Mukasa was excited when Hon. Kyagulanyi said, “Well done Comrade Mukasa. We get reports about how you are selling People Power in Lubaga South. We badly want that Constituency and I will do everything possible to win it. Go on, eat all zones and parishes, carry the liberation message, teach people to fight for their rights.”

Mukasa shared with  Hon. Kyagulanyi  about who he is and why he offered himself to contest for Lubaga South.

He said, “Mr. President, at my youthful age am a rich man.  I own businesses and employ hundreds of youth. Am not in politics for a job but to serve Lubaga South people. I am here to be a bold voice for Lubaga People as we fight for a corrupt free Country, for good governance, democracy and justice.”

Kyagulanyi told Nyanzi, “Work closely with comrade Mukasa, he is the calibre of leader we want.” Our cameras got Kyagulanyi and Mukasa in a one on one meeting.

LUBAGA COUNCILORS ENDORSE MUKASA TO OUST COMEDIAN KATO LUBWAMA
On July 23rd 2019, a team of Lubaga councilors led by FDC’s Hajjat Rehema Ffugge (Busega) endorsed Aloysius Mukasa at a function graced by Hon. Bobi Wine at Magere.

In fact, it is this Hajjat on Mukasa’s team to cordinate Imams and Mosques in Lubaga South, a job she has perfectly done. 

At Bobi’s home, Hajjat Ffugge said, “We come from different political parties but we pledge before you Mr. President that we will stand behind Hon. Aloysius Mukasa in 2021 to win MP seat for Lubaga South Constituency.”

Other councilors present were; Rose Kigozi Nalubwama (Mutundwe), Samuel Nsereko (Najjanankumbi), William Busuulwa (Mutundwe), Akim Kisekka (Lubaga), Kayima (Nateete), Musa Lusembo (Ndeeba) among others. Lusembo was Kato Lubwama’s chief campaigner.

MUKASA ON BOBI’S HIGH TABLE
Since then, Bobi Wine brought Aloysius Mukasa closer and delegated him on different assignments.

Last year, information leaked on how Kyagulanyi sent a message through Aloysius Mukasa to eminent persons like  former Buganda Premier Owek. Daniel Muliika and former Lubaga North MP Prof. Waswa Lule.

Just a few months ago, he delivered a mother message to His Eminence Cardinal Wamala.

Aloysius Mukasa when he met His Eminence Cardinal Emanuel Wamala

On very many occasions, Mukasa has been featured seated next to Hon. Kyagulanyi.

He is a darling to People Power commanders led by Nusfa Nakato and Spokesman Joel Ssenyonyi.

During Hoima by elections,  Bobi Wine security detail blocked Eugene Nassolo who wanted to forcefully penetrate through the circle and sit near Bobi Wine. For Mukasa, he would instead be protected.

He is among the few leaders who fearlessly don People Power berret, printed calenders with both his and Bobi photos and circulates them in all Lubaga South zones.

KCCA SPEAKER KAWALYA MISSION
The winning of Alhaj Abubaker Kawalya as KCCA Speaker did not come on a silver plater. You all know how he was fought by a section of opposition fellas. People Power command centre in Lubaga directed Aloysius Mukasa to do everything possible so that Kawalya sails through.

He headed the media department and also reached out to all Lubaga lord councilors.

Kawalya got a block vote from Lubaga. Thanks to People power, Lubaga Chapter.

Mukasa later led a group of KCCA lord councilors who included Faridah Nakabugo, Ismail Damba Kisuze Musajjatasuliraawo and others, to accompany Speaker Kawalya as he was visiting Hon. Kyagulanyi to pay allegiance.

KYAMUNDU’S PLAB B
After realising that Mukasa was unstoppable, JEEMA’s Spokesman Ssentongo Kyammundu now resorted to plan B. 

He used different forums to blackmail Mukasa as an NRM bankrolled by Gen. Salim Saleh.

On a certain platform where Kyamundu was spreading that false gospel, a Bobi supporter reminded him that People Power has regional coordinators like Hon. Banabas Tinkasimire, Hon. Nambeshe and Hon. Gafa Mbwatekamwa who are even in Parliament on NRM ticket so he should stop his stale news.

Mukasa supporters were not moved even an inch by Kyammundu’s hate campaign. 

PLAN C: KYAMUNDU PLOTS AGAINST BOBI & PEOPLE POWER
In Plan C, this JEEMA spokesman resorted to malicing and blackmailing Bobi Wine, Aloysius Mukasa and People Power,  showing it as a political movement. Ofcourse this excited NRM architects like one Gad Kwikiriza seeing this as a chance to hit People Power!

Kyamundu’s target was to show the public that people power is not worth leading this country saying it is bankrolled by Aloysius Mukasa who according to him, raped a woman.

In Kyammundu’s dossier titled ‘PEOPLE POWER STRONGMAN MAN RAPES A BOBI FAN’, he intended, through his cooked fake story to blackmail People Power by insinuating that their leaders are rapists.

Of course, rape allegations are always created by political amateurs and failures, thinking they can bring down successful politicians.

However, no sane politician or even voter took Kyammundu’s fake story seriously because the dots failed to add up.

On different Whatsapp platforms like Masaka DP Forum, Uganda Journalists Forum, Think Tank, DP Lubaga Constituency Forum and others, members were seen telling Kyamundu to go and take his medicine since they felt he needed to have his head scanned.

Kyamundu  poses a threat to his small party which went in State House for IPOD deals with the ruling NRM. For Kyamundu to think he can bring Hon. Kyagulanyi and People Power down through black mail is political suicide.

In Part II, we will bring you details of how JEEMA’s Kyamundu cooked a rape story against People Power’s 2021 Lubaga South MP favourite.

BY MEDDIE KITYO
NEWS EDITOR

AN OPINION poll has been conducted by political and opinion leaders in Lubaga South Constituency to ascertain, of the 30 candidates aspiring for area Member of Parliament in 2021 who is likely to win  the race.
The outcome gave People Power’s candidate Aloysius Mukasa a landslide victory showing others, including the incumbent Paul Kato Lubwama struggling! 
Opinion poll shows, if elections are held today, successful businessman Aloysious Mukasa will massively trounce the incumbent Paul Kato Lubwama and all other competitors by 62%, followed by ruling NRM with 17%,  Kato Lubwama comes 3rd with 8% and others (about 27 including JEEMA’s Siraje Kifampa) share the balance! 
Insiders say, the Aloysius Mukasa political storm in Lubaga South has caused much panic within the camps of his rivals, and worried of his dominance,  some have resorted to witchcraft and manufacturing sex stories, a political game well known to be played by cowards, failures and amateurs
(We will come back to this story with shocking details about who plotted this fake blackmail)
Speaking to Mukasa’s camp about how to consolidate this margin until 2021 polls, they told the News Editor Media that they can’t lay out their political game plan to public!
“We are in a very serious competition, yes our candidate is selling and now his name is on every one’s lips. Aloysius Mukasa’s visibility in the constituency will continue.  We expect a landslide victory come 2021 as People Power takes over Lubaga South Constituency.” Says team Mukasa who deployed over 2000 People power youth going house to house, person to person in a perfectly coordinated kakuyege!  

HOW WAS THE OPINION POLL CONDUCTED
A question was put out to the public (in Lubaga South) on who of the 30 names showing interest in 2021 Lubaga South Member of Parliament race will be elected and why.
The opinion poll was conducted by Evelyn Nakiryowa, who is the LC I Chairperson Tomusange Zone, Ndeeba in Lubaga South and voting was done on Lubaga South Constituency platform for every one to follow the proceedings.
Only one person voted Kato Lubwama, Eugene Nassolo and lawyer Xavier Katabalwa each got one vote, Bwanika and Kiyingi each got 2 votes while Sam Lubega Mukaaku, JEEMA’s Siraje Kifampa and others, did not get any vote. 
Aloysius Mukasa, Bobi Wine’s blue eyed boy was the most voted beating his competitors by a very big margin. It should be noted that all Candidates are members of this platform where the poll was carried out.

She congratulated the winner!

WHO IS WHO IN THE LUBAGA SOUTH RACE
News Editor Media is taking you through the camps of over 30 candidates having interest in Lubaga South Constituency MP seat come 2021. Who is who:

ALOYSIUS MUKASA
Youthful Talton Gold Aloysious Mukasa  a reknown businessman in Ndeeba and Najjanankumbi in Lubaga South Constituency was born and raised by his mother Annet Nayiga in Mutundwe, Church Zone in Lubaga South.
His father is Aloysious Kalyango of Kyengera Mugongo. Mukasa owns a magnificent home in Kabowa.
The People Power candidate says, Lubaga people need a strong voice in Parliament, which can speak loudly for every one to hear if they are to get a share of the National cake.
The Bobi Wine blue eyed boy, Mukasa  attended Uganda Martyrs Primary School in Lubaga, Kazinda Primary school Kyengera now Kampala Model, Lubiri SS and St. Marys Kitende a first World School, where thousands of students massively voted him Head prefect.
He is also an old boy of Merryland High School Kigungu in Entebbe. 
He was awarded an Advanced certificate in Business Adminstration and also graduated with a Bachelors in Business Managent at MUBS.
Last year, Mukasa graduated with a Masters degree of Public and  Business Management from Ndejje University.
He deals in Food suppliments, he is also the proprietor of Dascus Nursery School Najjanankumbi and Bex Limited, a company producing disinfectants among other businesses.
He says, Lubaga South lacks good healthy facilities, youth especially mechanics are not supported, Women groups need to be facilitated to fight poverty.
He says,  he is not in politics to look for a job but to be a conduit and a bold voice for development and changing the face of Lubaga South. 
Mukasa single handedly constructed a tamacked road in St. Anne Zone near Faith Arena Church which was in a sorry state and used by law breakers to steal bodabodas, rape women at night and kill people.
The Zone council resolved to name this road after Aloysius Mukasa.
While meeting local and youth leaders in Mutundwe recently, Mukasa said, “Lubaga South needs a fresh substitute who will speak in Parliament and act. I am a performer. We are tired of floods in Lubaga every time it rains, floods destroy our homes and sweep away businesses. This problem must end when I take over. We pay huge taxes why get poor service?”
He led a group of Lubaga councilors to Magere from where they endorsed him as their 2021 MP candidate. 
He is very close to top People power commanders like Mityana Municipality MP Hon. Francis Butebi Zaake with whom they  normally meet and give discuss how to oust Kato Lubwama whom people power considers an enemy. 
He is a very generous and a true people’s servant.
Mukasa has already identified Coordinators in every corner of Lubaga South,  he is also busy meeting local leaders, religious leaders, informal sector among others. He only has to maintain this momentum, then 2021 elections will be a walk over.

SIRAJE KIFAMPA
Less talked about in the this race, Kifampa is a Justice Forum (JEEMA) party candidate.
Kifampa contested for the same
seat in 2021 and Lubaga South people strongly rejected him in an election won by  Independent Kato Lubwama. Kifampa is returning with more less hope that he can manage an election with indicators already showing People power dominating. A reknown radical Moslem who Lubaga people say can’t unite other religions yet Catholics and Protestants dominate this
constituency, his camp has now turned guns on People Power and their candidate Aloysius Mukasa.
They have hired JEEMA Spokesman Ssentongo Kyammundu who is blackmailing the two over rape allegations blindly thinking this can divert the Lubaga People.
Analysts say, in this election, with their fight against People Power, Siraje Kifampa camp will perform poorly.

KEN LUKYAMUZI
Like earlier said, Ken Lukyamuzi was Lubaga South MP for a long time and at one time fronted his daughter Susan Lukyamuzi and Lubaga People voted her. 
In 2016 Lukyamuzi was dropped by voters saying he was too mean and allegedly had links with the first top NRM bosses. 
Banking on Dr. Kizza Besigye and FDC alliance with his Conservative Party (CP),
Lukyamuzi is returning to reclaim his seat in 2021.
The challenge Ken is likely to face is the youth wave which is set to dominate 2021 elections. They look at him as an MP not for their
Generation and it will be harder for him to convince and get their votes.
In the opinion poll carried out, Lubaga people don’t see Lukyamuzi any where to bouncing back.

PRINCESS EUGENE NASSOLO
She talks about herself as a DP lady and attends some of the party members meetings although many take her as a pretender, her heart has never been for this oldest political party. 

Eugene Nassolo

While opening one of her buildings in Lubaga, Nassolo hosted top government officials making Lubaga South people brand her as NRM.This among others is  likely to affect
her dream of becoming Lubaga South MP.  Today you find her in DP BLOC with Jose Chameleon and tomorrow she will be with People Power, leaving her would be supporters confused. Eugine Nassolo says she works in the Treasury of Catholic Church Lubaga Cathedral. She has however
intensified consultation with councilors and different groups of people.

SAMUEL LUBEGA MUKAAKU
The former presidential candidate was banking on support from the DP BLOC to front him as Lubaga South 2021 MP candidate in 2021, unfortunately, this BLOC is now no more!
He looks to be another casualty in this race. Lubega has in the past unsuccessfully contested for MP seat in Kawempe and in 2016 lost to NRM’s John Bosco Lubyayi in Mawokota South. 
Before DP BLOC was dissolved, his colleagues like Hon. Norbert
Mao, Dr. Abed Bwanika and Hon. Micheal Mabikke had already annointed him to unseat Kato Lubwama.
The problem with Lubega Mukaaku, yes he is a powerful, brilliant and vocal politician but his very bad record of losing elections looks to be haunting him every time. 
In Lubaga South, voters don’t feel Sam Lubega and may not be convinced to vote him in 2021.

KENNETH MALE
He is a staff at Parliament of Uganda. Since 2006, Male has been contesting in Lubaga South and losing. He has vowed to stand come 2021 and hopes to win the race. He is identified with NRM Party.
He has been seen visiting and donating to mosques and other groups. He is such a kind of a leader who you will find with people although they didn’t vote for him.  Reasons why Male has been losing, no one knows where his home is, he keeps on saying he lives in Lubaga Parish but ask
him to show you where exactly his home is, he will never answer you.

MUSA MBAZIIRA
He was recently elected, Speaker Lubaga Division. He is a councilor representing Kabowa II at Lubaga Divison. 
Mbaziira will first contest for the NRM ticket in the primaries. Determined to win.
Lubaga South for NRM, Mbaziira is less known in other areas of Lubaga South apart from Kabowa. Unless he is a joker, he can’t win this slot when he only rotates around Kabowa.

JAMIL MPIIMA
The husband to Faridah Mayanja Mpiima, RCC Kampala. For two terms, Faridah Mayanja has been contesting on NRM ticket but losing. This time she is fronting her hubby and has the most chances to win NRM Primaries. Although he expects to bank on his wife’s popularity, Jamil
Mpiima will face a hard contest since for the ruling party to win in Lubaga is like milking a rock. He has to seek for Allah’s guidance to change this trend.

SADAT MUKIIBI
This artist is known as Aganaga. He has been identifying with People Power and badly wants to enter Parliament. However Lubaga South see him as another joker in this race and very few talk about him.

DEAN LUBOWA SAAVA
The Tazan Music star and a journalist who once worked with NTV, BBS and NBS TV stations,recently declared intentions to stand for Lubaga South in 2021. Dean Saava is perfectly known in media but in politics, he is not known at all and is starting his political career with such a big contest. This won’t be a walk over for him. Fore warned is fore armed.

GRACE NAKANWAGI MASAGAZI
Daughter to Kadongokamu singer Fred Masagazi. Grace in 2011 contested for councilor in Ndeeba and lost to DP’s Evelyn Nakiryowa. Now she is returning to contest for MP. Like Mbaziira, Grace Nakanwagi is only known in Ndeeba where she works from.

JUNIOR SSEBALAMU
He is from Najjanankumbi. Less known in politics but there is a group of his friends who are determined to push him to Parliament and ready to finance his campaigns.

HABIB BUWEMBO
This is the FDC young man who took MP Kato Lubwama to courts of law contesting his academic papers. He has already declared his intentions to uproot Kato Lubwama come 2021 polls. Insiders however say, Habib Buwembo the brains behind Jobless brotherhood commonly known for throwing piglets at Parliament is in talks with Aloysius Mukasa and the FDC boy want to step aside. If Buwembo chooses to stand for MP, he is likely to miss FDC ticket because the Blue Party is with CP’s
Lukyamuzi, they can’t betray him. Even in 2021, FDC blocked Lubaga South primaries saying, Lukyamuzi is their man after in TDA,  CP was the only political party which stood with Dr. Besigye. There are also voices sending Buwembo to contest for councilorship.

ISMAIL SSEMAKULA
He is the Proprietor of Sema Properties which deals in land. He resides in Mutundwe. No one knows what is sending this tycoon into politics but he says, he badly want this seat. Lubaga People are not taking him seriously.

KATO LUBWAMA
Although he tops legislators who have never almost uttered a word in the tenth Parliament, Kato is already back to the trenches, asking reluctant Lubaga People to send him back to continue eating.

Hon. Kato Lubwama

While campaigning in 2016, Kato asked for votes so that he can also go to Parliament and eat. He is set to face it rough if he thinks, voters will give him another five years to eat as if he is the only hungry person in Lubaga.
Months back, Kato was in Busega and declared himself Buganda region People Power cordinator although him and Hon. Bobi Wine don’t see eye to eye and the Kyaddondo East MP wants Kato out.
People power accuses Kato Lubwama of  taking sides with their tomentors. In fact, Kato once said, People power is a group of goons. They say, it is time for him to pay for his sins.
In 2016, Kato was in good books with Lukwago’s TJ and Lordmayor traversed the whole constituency campaigning for him. 
But as you read this, Lukwago and Kato are sworn enemies.
His SOLIDA group led by councilor Musa Lusembo denounced Kato Lubwama.
There is circulating information that Kato is planning not to invest a lot  in his 2021 bid fearing to lose.
He has instead diverted his monies in putting up a state of the art Theater at his home in Mutundwe fearing to lose all
if he doesn’t bounce back.

KIYINGI
This one also lives in Najjanankumbi and calls himself a member of People Power. During a DP BLOC meeting at late DP SG Matia Nsubuga’s home in Lubaga, Kiyingi ambushed it dressed in a red overall and his boys brought the meeting to a stand still. He is likely to put up a challenge if he goes on stands. In fact according to the opinion poll conducted, he performed better than Kato Lubwama, Ken Lukyamuzi, Siraje Kifampa and Eugene Nassolo.

BWANIKA
He is a reknown DP member with support from a section of party leaders to contest for the seat.

KEVIN NSUBUGA
Son to fallen DP SG Matia Nsubuga, Kevin has shown interest to unseat Kato Lubwama. He is a lawyer by profession and lives in Nalumunye, Wakiso and the area LC 1 Chairman. DP is likely to deny him a party ticket.

XAVIER KATABALWA 
This won’t be his first time to contest for Lubaga South MP.

Counsel Xavier Katabalwa

Katabalwa is a strong DP man but his chances to ever win this MP seat are very slim. He is a lawyer by profession.

SEMBABULE RDC IN HOT SOUP: BUGANDA KINGDOM SUES FOR GRABBING KABAKA’S LAND AS MINISTER NAMUGANZA HALTS ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION

0

NEWS EDITOR

THE Kabaka of Buganda His Majesty Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II has lodged a case in the chief Magistrate’s court of Ssembabule Civil Suit no. 34 of 2020, summons extracted and served against stubborn Sembabule RDC Nickson Kabuye Nuwagaba in relation to grabbing Kabaka’s land located in Sembabule, Mawogola County.

Read: https://www.newseditor.co.ug/2020/04/16/enemy-of-state-govt-warns-stubborn-sembabule-rdc-on-grabbing-kabakas-land-as-kingdom-attorney-generals-tough-letter-leaks/

Yesterday on Friday, State Minister for Lands Hon. Persis Namuganza who doubles as Bukono Constituency legislator travelled to Sembabule and wanted to demolish  the structure illegally erected on Kabaka’s land but since the Kingdom had taken the matter to court, it could jeopardize the case. 
In the meeting yesterday attended by Buganda Land Board (BLB) Managing Director Simon Kabogoza and Counsel Dan Ssenyomo, Hon. Namuganza instructed the Sembabule DPC to ensure that there is no more construction on Kabaka’s land until the case is determined.

RDC NUWAGABA TO SWEAT IN COURT
Together with the contractor Kakoni Holdings Uganda Ltd who are erecting a structure on Kabaka’s land and Sembabule District local government, RDC Nuwagaba has been instructed to file a defence in the said suit within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of summons in the manner prescribed under O. 9 of the Civil procedure Rules.
“Should you fail to file a Defence on or before the date mentioned,  the Plaintiff (Kabaka) may proceed with the suit and judgment may be given in your absence.” Reads the summons to file a defence.
“This is given under hand and seal of Court this 29th day of April 2020” signed Chief Magistrate.

Summons to file a defence

Aided by RDC Nuwagaba, Contractor Musa Kiberu’s Kanoni Holdings Uganda Ltd is defiantly constructing a district canteen on Kabaka’s land.
Attempts by Buganda Kingdom and Central Government to halt the illegal construction were deliberately defied prompting Kabaka to use legal means.

LANDS MINISTER NAMUGANZA TOUGH LETTER TO RDC NUWAGABA

On May 06th 2020, two days before Minister Namuganza travelled to Sembabule, she wrote a tough letter to RDC Nuwagaba over the Land dispute on Mawogola Saza Headquarters’ land returned to the Kabaka of Buganda.
Minister’s letter reads, “I had communicated to you earlier in my letter dated 23rd April 2020 on the above subject instructing that you should halt any constructioon the disputed land until this matter is resolved to its conclusion and a copy was given to District Police Commander to effect the same.”

Minister Namuganza letter to Nuwagaba

However, State minister for Lands said, “It has come to my attention that these orders have not been respected instead you have ordered the party that is constructing to continue. This is misconduct and it portrays the bad spirit which does not help team work.”
“This is therefore to inform you that I will visit the locus personally on 8th May 2020 (yesterday) and indeed, she was in Sembabule by Midday on the same and stopped the construction.  

HOW A FOOLISH JEALOUSY LDU OFFICER ENDED 4 LIVES IN A MASAKA CITY LOCKDOWN MURDER OVER A WOMAN

NEWS EDITOR

THE newly created Masaka City is still in a lockdown shock, after a foolish Local Defence Unit (LDU) officer one Robert in broad day light pulled the trigger and ended the lives of a man and a pregnant woman on a bodaboda! 

LC 1 Chairman Musaasizi in cold blood


Minutes later, Robert who has been working at a beer depot in Masaka, also joined the three!
Unconfirmed reports show, the LDU man was shot dead by security operatives as they tried to disarm him. Another school of thought shows he committed suicide while some say, mob justice worked on him.
According to Masaka District LCV Chairman Jude Mbabaali, the sad incident happened in-front of Byansi Clinic on Elgin Street where the pregnant woman had gone for treatment and her husband had followed to pick her on a boda boda cycle. 
“The entire incident was captured by the CCTV cameras as seen in the video.” Chairman Mbabaali revealed to News Editor Media.
Reports say, the murdered bodaboda cyclist Francis Musaasizi was the LC I Chairman of Lutovu B village Kigeye parish Malongo sub county in Lwengo district where the woman has been resident.
The slain lady known as Jacqueline, insiders say, has been playing both the LDU guy and the LC 1 Chairman.
She is said to have been pregnant for the LC chairman and wanted to go for abortion so that she can continue confusing both lovers.

COVID-19: ANOTHER PEOPLE POWER LEADER BOSCO LUSAGALA ARRESTED OVER FEEDING HUNGRY RESIDENTS IN MAKINDYE

NEWS EDITOR

POLICE in Nabisaalu, Makindye Division, Kampala Capital City has arrested His Worship Bosco Lusagala, Makindye Division Deputy Mayor whon is a People Power top cordinator, over distribution of essential goods to his hungry electorates. 

We have talked to His Worship Mayor Haji Ali Kasirye Nganda Mulyannyama over the matter.
Case was registered on SD ref. 23/4/05/2020.

Hon. Lusagala a reknown Democratic party opposition youth leader was in the company of Jackline Nakajubi and Tony Muhumuza, both coordinators of opposition People Power Movement when he was allegedly caught red-handed by Police giving handouts to residents of Nabisaalu village goodies  comprising sugar, posho,beans  and soap. 

This act is in contravention of presidential directive to politicians distributing food to groups of people since through such concentrations, Coronavirus can easily spread.

President Museveni directed police that those arrested, must be charged with attempted murder!

Since, a number of People Power leaders have been arrested.

They include Mityana Municipality MP Francis Butebi Zaake now bedridden at St. Francis Hospital Lubaga after about 12 days of detention.

Another one, Hon. Francis Muganga, Iganga district People Power leader was yesterday Thursday released on Court bail after he was arrested on allegations of distributing food to hundreds of hungry people.

Hon. Lusagala’s relatives have expressed great concern for his life since by press time, they had not accessed him.

“After getting Hon. Zaake’s story about how he was tortured in the detention and seeing shocking photos, we are worried, Hon. Lusagala might be going through the same situation.” Said Moses Kalega, a family member.  

Just like it was in Iganga when Mugagga was arrested, in Makindye, residents have  applauded Lusagala’s generosity in this dire situation by coming up to assist the vulnerable persons in the area and standing up with them.

The police has however continued to caution politicians and community at large against violation of presidential directives warning that any one caught, will be arrested and prosecuted.

IT’S ENOUGH! BUGANDA KINGDOM YOUTH COUNCIL DEMANDS ARREST AND PROSECUTION OF SECURITY OFFICERS WHO TORTURED MP ZAAKE

TOO MUCH PAIN: Ms. Bridget, attends to husband Hon. Zaake at Lubaga Hospital

BY MEDDIE KITYO
BULANGE – MENGO

BUGANDA Youth Council (BYC), a Kingdom Youth Parliament has condemned in the strongest terms the continued inhuman and undignified treatment, torture and brutality inflicted on to a section of the population by the security agencies, Mityana Municipality MP Hon. Francis Butebi Zaake being one of the most recent.

Buganda Youth have vowed not to remain with folded hands as human  rights violations on Citizenry countinues during the Covid-19  lockdown and demand urgent arrest, prosecution and punishment of security officers persecuting Ugandans.

Paddy Kiganda Ssenkungu and other BYC leaders swears in

In a letter dated May 06th 2020, BYC Chairperson Paddy Kiganda Ssenkungu said, “The Buganda Youth Council has always followed reports and televised footage about the gruesome human rights violations by the Uganda Police and Army, the arrest and torture of the Mityana Municipality MP Hon. Francis Zaake being one of the most recent.”

The letter talks about other Ugandans who have fallen victim and they include Counsels Kakwenza Rukirabashaija, Francis Muganga and Abdullah Kiwanuka.

Paddy Kiganda Ssenkungu’s letter

In a statement on how he was violently arrested on April 19th 2020 and torturedo in detention, Hon. Zaake who is curgently bedridden at Lubaga Hospital said, “At Mityana Police Station, I was dragged out of the vehicle and taken into the DPC’s office where I was brutally kicked and punched by uniformed and non – uniformed police and military officers.”

“This first round of torture was presided over and superintended by the said Mityana DPC Alex Mwine and Wamala RPC Bob Kagarura, both of whom had participated in my arrest.” Said Zaake who has already instructed his lawyers to sue Government and Top security bosses he named, for torturing him. 

Narrating this shocking story to media on Monday, Hon. Zaake said, “They lifted me and bundled me onto the back of the double cabin truck. I heard very vividly Kagarura giving instructions in Runyankole – “make sure he does not see”. It was at that point that they poured a substance in my eyes that gave me excruciating pain. I thought it was pepper spray and I would soon be able to see- but up to now, I can hardly open my eyes without feeling intense pain. All this while, I was handcuffed.”

Government however, through Internal Affairs State Minister Obiga Kania yesterday shockingly told Parliament that Hon. Zaake inflicted injuries onto himself.

This was after Rt. Hon. Speaker Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga who visited Zaake at Lubaga Hospital and personally saw how the MP was wounded, directed Gen. Jeje Odongo minister for Internal Affairs to explain who tortured this legislator and why.

Jeje Odongo instead sent his deputy Obiga Kania to present the report which is questionable by public.

“This is Uganda, where police removes everything a suspect may use to injure him/herself or commit suicide before being taken into police cell, but still the suspect found away of injuring himself!” Wrote a senior journalist.

THIS MUST STOP – BUGANDA YOUTH COUNCIL 
“Cognizant of the guidelines given by the President in regard to food distribution during the ongoing lockdown and whereas Buganda Youth Council calls on the public to the same, security machinists in the Police and Army are also reminded that their primary duty is to protect the rights and life of all Ugandans without discriminations whatsoever, while enforcing the said directives.” Reads Buganda Youth Council letter. 

The Kingdom Youth leaders strongly contest the selective arrest of people who allegedly break the food distribution guidelines. 

Mr. Ssenkungu said, “This has been envisaged by the fact that, ruling NRM Party politicians including ministers have been seen and televised breaking the same guidelines but left scot-free while their opposition counterparts are apprehended.”

Buganda Youth Council also reminded security agencies that right to try and punish any suspect remains the duty and authority of only the Judiciary through Courts of law. 

“The current lockdown doesnot therefore offer police or Army a platform to torture Ugandans.” Said Buganda Youth leader.

Security operatives put People Power’s Francis Muganga on gun point

Buganda Youth Council Speaker Allan Mayanja Sebunya said, youth are in great fear since they are the target.

BYC Speaker said, “Violation of human rights especially rights of the youth has increased. Look at how our brother Hon. Zaake was tortured to the extent that he lost the sight? What about Francis Muganga in Iganda who was put on gun point by two plain clothed security personels!”

BYC Speaker Allan Mayanja Sebunya (left) listens to Chairperson Paddy Kiganda Ssenkungu

“Hon. Zaake Butebi we stand with you as Buganda Youth Council, persecution in our Country must stop.” Says BYC Speaker Allan Mayanja Sebunya.

He said, it’s absurd that such acts are being done in the watch of young children.

Joining the Public,  Buganda Youth Council demands that Uganda Police Force and Army should;

  1. Issue a public apology for human rights violations inflicted onto Hon. Francis Zaake and other Ugandans during the lockdown. 
  2. Compensate Hon. Zaake for all loss and damages caused to him and his family as a result of torture inflicted on him.
  3. Investigate all security officers involved in persecuting Hon. Zaake and have them prosecuted.
