GO & WIN: 8 KAMPALA MPS, 5 DIVISION MAYORS WHO ENDORSED KAWALYA FOR KCCA SPEAKER NAMED

0

BY MEDDIE KITYO

YOUTHFUL Abubaker Kawalya, Lord councilor representing Lubaga North at City Hall must be the happiest councilor aspiring for KCCA Speakership after getting endorsement by 8 members of Parliament out of 9 MPs representing Kampala in Parliament.

Also, all the five division mayors making up Kampala led by powerful FDC Buganda Vice President Owek. Joyce Juliet Nabbosa Ssebuggwawo have openly come out to rally behind Kawalya saying he is the best candidate for the job.
Election of KCCA speaker is expected before the end of this February.

“We are not happy about what’s going on at our party Headquaters. We will not support any attempt by a section of party leaders to use shortcuts. We are closely following all games being played against our son Haji Abubaker Kawalya but he has our blessings. I will in fact talk to Dr. Besigye about day dreamers who think can impose Doreen Nyanjura on councilors. What does she know about FDC?” Asked Lubaga Division mayor, Owek. Ssebuggwawo.

This comes at a time when Party officials have declared Nyanjura as the official party flag bearer, something Ssebuggwawo has denied.

“Who made her a flag bearer? Which qualifications does she have better than Kawalya? We will not allow such dramatic scenes. Kawalya is FDC 311, we will support him and do everything to make sure he is the KCCA Speaker.” Vowed Buganda Kingdom former minister.

Kawalya camp advised him to shun ‘fake’ FDC nominations fearing to step on their political landmines.

According to his campaign manager, “Winning is on our way. FDC Caucus elected Kawalya and everything was sealed. We are only waiting for the election day to disapprove those cliques fighting Kawalya.”

Other mayors who have boosted Kawalya camp includes; Charles Musoke Sserunjogi (Kampala Central), Ronald Balimwezo ( Nakawa), Haji Ali Kasirye Nganda Mulyannyama (Makindye) and Emanuel Sserunjoji Oweddembe (Kawempe).

We are reliably informed, mayors of Particular divisions are secretly meeting their LC V councilors to vote for Haji Kawalya. We are even aware of late night meetings to see Kawalya win with flying colours.

“On this, we are showing solidarity. As Kampala division mayors, we are behind Abubaker Kawalya. He will serve a better Speaker.  He is pro people,  a young man who listens and very dependable.” Said Kampala Central mayor, Charles Sserunjogi Musoke. 

8 MPS BOOST KAWALYA CAMP
They are led by COSASE Chairman and Kawempe South MP Mubarak Munyagwa Mugaatigwabbata, COSASE Vice Chairman also Makindye East MP Ibrahim Kasozi, Lubaga South MP Paulo Kato Lubwama and Kawempe North MP Latif Sebaggala Ssengendo.

Others are; Muhammad Nsereko ( Kampala Central), Nabilah Naggayi Sempala (Kampala Woman MP) and Hon. Allan Ssewanyana  (Makindye West).

To our shock, Hon. Micheal Kabaziguruka (Nakawa) who is a brother to Nyanjura’s husband, is also team Kawalya.

In fact when FDC party president was announcing Nyanjura’s nomination today at the Party Headquaters, no Kampala MP showed up.

It’s only Hon. Moses Kasibante (Lubaga North) who is behind Lukwago’s Doreen Nyanjura and his issues are personal.

WHY KASIBANTE HATES KAWALYA
Kawalya has been in the news targeting Hon. Moses Kasibante Lubaga North seat in 2021and has full support both in FDC  and People Power.

During a meeting at Bobi Wine’s Magere home, Kyaddondo East legislator openly told Lubaga North People power youth who had visited him that in 2021 he will support Kawalya for MP seat calling him, “A very hardworking FDC young man who shares People power ideologies. “
Kyagulanyi said People Power has no problem with the leaders like Kawalya 
who embrace People Power activities.

“Kawalya is on ground mobilising our people. He is in FDC but not fighting our genuine cause. He is our brother, we can’t fight him. We have many colleagues in FDC, NRM and other parties who believe in  the People power struggle,  we will always stand with them.” Kyagulanyi told Lubaga North youth who were led by Hakim Kizza Saula. 

It is not known whether this is why Kawalya is fought by Katonga’s Peoples Government not to take over KCCA Speaker slot.

However those knowing Kawalya said, this councilor who chairs Engineering and Road Works committee is determined to contest with any one be it fronted by Lord mayor or NRM.

Kawalya told the News Editor Online that, “I have no problem with any member presenting him or herself. That is democracy. Let them come, councilors will decide. I have all the qualifications for this job and am in touch with councilors who have asked me to contest. Yes I will and winning is for us.”

Serving his first term as councilor, Kawalya is a Ghetto boy who grew up in the slums of Kawaala, Kasubi and Nakulabye. He is talked about as the richest young councilor in Lukwago’s council, approachable and very generous.

Before being voted KCCA councilor,  he served in KCCA making him known by the technical wing. 

Kawalya commands genuine support from fellow councilors and other stakeholders, with higher chances of winning the Speaker job.

“Being an island District comes with both advantages and disadvantages however,the latter outweighs the former to the total disappointment of the targeted beneficiaries that we serve.” She said adding that as a District, they need more programs moreso from the Kingdom being a cultural institution that unites all the people of Busoga and the surrounding areas.

“As a District, we enjoy a good working relationship with the Kingdom and we are receptive to all programs aimed at uplifting our people in addition to mindset change. However, for Namayingo’s case,we ask for affirmative action from Busoga Kingdom as regards service delivery.” She pleaded before commending the management of Ekigangu for prioritizing to address the plight of children in the whole of Busoga without any discrimination.Nambozo, who also received a copy of the 1st Edition of Ekigangu Publication from the Team Leader,argued that the Ekigangu initiative was a well thought idea that will skill the beneficiaries in order to fit into the changing times of the job market.

SSENYONGA – BUGINGO WAR DEEPENS: WHAT NO BODY TOLD YOU ABOUT UCC NEW ED & PASTORS’ HOT MEETING

0

NEWS EDITOR

A LOT has not been told about top Pastors’ hot meeting convened by newly appointed Acting Uganda Communications Commission Executive Director Ms. Irene Kaggwa to engage them on the alleged misuse of their houses through trading insults against each other

UCC is a government agency responsible for regulating the Communications sector, which includes Telecommunications, Broadcasting, radio communication, postal communications, data communication and infrastructure.

In the meeting, was Dr. Joseph Sserwadda of Victory Church Ndeeba. Others were;  Pr. Jackson Ssenyonga of Christian Life Church Makerere Kavule, Aloysius Bugingo of House of Prayer Ministries, Deo Ssemakula, Mondo Mugisha and Ronie Makabayi. 

The meeting which was out of access for the press, UCC started by reminding Pastors about the minimum broadcast standards, clearly stressing that insulting each other using the airwaves violates the stipulated standards and thus, asking them to refrain from it.

News Editor Online investigative team was deployed to dig deeper and find out what really transpired in meeting, here we report back;

DID SSENYONGA BRAND BUGINGO A FALSE PROPHET?

When asked for his submission, Dr. Jackson Ssenyonga who had no kind words towards Aloysius Bugingo expressed strong disapproval of the continued falsehoods advanced with impunity by what he called, criminals disguising as Born Again pastors in Uganda.

Pr. Jackson Ssenyonga arriving for UCC meeting. He was accompanied by Top media manager Steven Dunstan Busuulwa

The popularly known P.5 Pastor said, his next line of action is to help victims of their fraud and false prophecy find justice from the authorities.

Pastor Ssenyonga who has for long been at the forefront in preaching against false prophets who intentionally misread the scriptures with an intention of misleading the followers to defraud and mislead them so as to suit their ill personal agenda, used most of the time and said he will not relent on exposing the criminals hiding in the church to commit crimes.

“I have an obligation of protecting the innocent children of God who are genuinely seeking the grace of God, from exploitation and fraud by the greedy ‘pastors’. No one, be it who will stop the gospel to be spread.” Said Pr. Jackson Ssenyonga.

Without mentioning names, Ssenyonga talked about those calling themselves Pastors but always in newspapers for dumping their wives and impregnating Church girls.

“Is that Biblical? And you expect Pastors to just look on as such false prophets are killing the Church? Impossible.” Vowed  Ssenyonga.

Analysts interpret that, Ssenyonga missiles were targeting Bugingo who recently dumped his wife Teddy Bugingo for a church girl, a one Suzan Makula, whom he is proud of impregnating and their wedding preparations on-going. 

Bugingo has publicly stated that dumping one’s wife or divorce is acceptable. He says married vows and ring are not biblical since according to him, nobody made the same vows in the Bible.

To Ssenyonga, this is not Biblical and openly told UCC bosses, “We will continue exposing such false prophets who misinterpret the Holly Bible. We were called to serve and spread the gospel, so we will.”

During his Church live broadcast preaching, Ssenyonga has addressed  Bugingo a false prophet and offended him for using the pulpit to order his followers burn some Bibles he deemed fake. 

“These and other false teachings are what Pastor Ssenyonga continues to fight against.” Ssenyonga tells UCC boss.

According to him, “False prophets like Kakande, Ssemakula and others use disgruntled individuals to forge testimonies and miracles in their ‘worshiping’ places as well as satanic powers to lead the followers into darkness.”

In fact when President Museveni visited Ssenyonga Church late last year, he told The Head of State that he (Ssenyonga) has evidence of some of these false prophets with mass graves and asked police to intervene and apprehend the criminals.

YES I WAS OPEN ON FALSE PROPHETS – SSENYONGA ADMITS

Speaking exclusively to the News Editor Online shortly after the UCC meeting, Pr. Ssenyonga admitted how he pinned false prophets in the presence of UCC officials.

He told us,  ”The meeting has resolved that we should not mention the names of these false prophets on air and that we should always reach out to each other in case of learning on their false teachings.”

“UCC said they have no control over what and how we preach the word of God in the Church noting that their concern is what goes on air. They said we are free to call someone anything within the church as long as it is not broadcast, which means as Ssenyonya, I am at liberty to refer to anyone as a false prophet in the Church as long as I find him to be so,” said Pastor Ssenyonga.

”I tipped UCC on how these people defraud the flock including bringing people in taxi vans to give false testimony and tramped up miracles. I can’t keep quiet about such. I am fighting for the Church and the children of God,”

He however noted that he told UCC that the fraud and misleading messages are aired on radio and television, saying as long as the communications regulator leaves such messages to continue being broadcast in the media, they will always attract people’s attention including him who will not hesitate to respond.1

”Most of these things are done on air and I told UCC that when such misleading information is relayed, it calls for our reaction.” Said Ssenyonga adding, “So if UCC remains tight-lipped for three months  on a false preaching by Bugingo that the ring and marriage vows are satanic, without reining-in on him to an extent that it took the intervention of parliament and the Ethics minister, we are forced to come in if nothing is done.”

”If someone is using the air to relay falsehoods, we must also use the air to correct him and the followers he has misled.” Says Ssenyonga, adding, “I told UCC to level the ground on which we play false prophet has lied for the whole two months, yet for us, we have spoken for only two weeks to undo his lies and you want to silence us. What I am doing is to a react, I react to his (Bugingo) lies, things he says that I don’t believe in. Let the regulation work for all of us.”

He told us how he can not let someone disguising as a pastor to abuse the institution of marriage and he remains shut. He vowed to continue referring to the false teachings by these individuals to tell the public the true scripture.

“I am fighting for the children of God who are killed, their money stolen as well as giving them in to their spirits and evil masters.” Said Ssenyonga . 

He further explained that false prophets have taken it upon themselves to commit crimes and bribe the authorities to cover them up. 

He told us that, when he brought this to the attention of the regulator, he was told that they (UCC) has no jurisdiction to investigate crime, and so he was referred to police and other authorities.

”If UCC says that the falsehoods and exploitative lies they hear on air is not enough evidence to reign-in on these false prophets, then what did they base on to ban witch-doctors from the airwaves and closing down stations that hosted them n rural areas? Asked Pr. Ssenyonga.

“I assured UCC how I have evidence pinning false prophets that I wanted to give them so that they know the truth about these false prophets,” reiterated pastor Ssenyonga.

“I tipped UCC on how these people defraud the flock including bringing people in taxi vans to give false testimony and tramped up miracles. I can’t keep quiet about such. I am fighting for the Church and the children of God,” he added.

Pr. Ssenyonga vowed never to stop talking about Bugingo and his likes if they don’t  stop disrespecting and preaching against the institution of marriage as well as fighting the church. 

He applauded the communication regulator for admitting that they lack the jurisdiction to handle crime by these ‘pastors’. 

He says that his next course of action is to send all the victims of fraud to police and other authorities and help them get justice.

BUGINGO APOLOGIZE

Meanwhile Bugingo used the meeting only to apologize for using his media house to abuse and insult pastors in the countryear. 

DR. JOSEPH SSERWADDA SPEAKS OUT

According to Victory Christian Ndeeba based church Pastor Dr. Joseph Sserwadda, this was a one sided meeting. 

He says, there was only one group of the accused and the offenders. 

“The other group to which I actually belong, the victims and the offended, were not represented. So the offenders took advantage of the occasion and jumped onto themselves with sharp accusations against each other’s actions and re-actions! It was such a site!” Says Dr. Joseph Sserwadda.

He said, one group (Bugingo) apologized and promised to never say anything silly. The other (Pr. Ssenyonga) promised to react if any silly~ness resurfaced. 

Sserwadda told us in an exclusive interview, “The rest of us just watched in a forced silence, and oh yes, prayed. I still have a question though: what caused this meeting? Who was so offended, and by which Media House, that such urgent summons were issued? And, would the meeting have been different if the former ED was in charge? Your guess is as good as mine.” Reasoned Presiding Apostle Dr. Joseph Sserwadda.

Speaking to the News Editor Online today Saturday morning, Hon. Ssewanyana has said, “Found those letters dropped at my gate this morning and along the way that leads to my home and some areas in my constituency.”

Hon. Egunyu life targeted

Yesterday, a team of five Members of Parliament behind the petition to cause Minister Tumwine censure held a presser at Parliament to update the public about signature collection, smelt a rat that their move may hit a deadlock following a poor turn up of their colleagues to sign the petition.

A meeting which was expected to be attended by a good number of MPs, only a few turned up for the press conference which left behind many un answered questions on why others chickened out and stayed away from our cameras.

Those attended include; Hon. Allan Ssewanyana, Hon. Ssekikubo, Hon. Barnabas Tinkasimire, Hon. John Baptist Nambeshe and Hon. Moses Kasibante.

Hon. Moses Kasibante

The five put it to other Mps who have shunned this petition that they have run away from their constitutional mandate.

This petition has only three days to go and if over 145 MPs don’t sign it, will definately be thrown in the dustbin.

Hon. Mbwatekamwa

The petition comes after Parliamentary Human Rights Committee chaired by Hon. Egunyu authored a report implicating the four star Gen. Tumwine, the line minister for blocking committee members tour ‘safe houses’ which to them are the illegal tourture chambers where people are detained from and tortured.

A few days ago, a group of notorious youth addressed media warning MPs behind this censure move that they will be dealt with if they don’t leave in peace the security minister who is perfectly handling insecurity in the country.

Hon. Latif Sebaggala

It isn’t known whether this group is behind lists of these very MPs dropped at Hon. Ssewanyana’s gate to scare him and his colleagues away from proceeding with censuring Security minister Tumwine.

NEWS EDITOR

OPPOSITION Democratic Party top organ NEC sitting at the newly acquired Headquaters at Balintuma in Mengo, Kampala has today evenning fired embattled Sulaiman Sserwadda Kidandala from the office National Organizing Secretary and replaced him with Mr. Shafic Dembe in the capacity of Acting.

This has given Party President General Hon. Nobert Mao and his team a win with a very big margin against the party rebels.

According to a copy of NEC resolutions leaked to the News Editor Online, a motion to fire Kidandala was moved by Mr. Dick Lukyamuzi and Seconded by youth leaders Rita Nakyanzi and Christopher Okidi in a well attended meeting amidst tight security after goons allegedly hired by a clique of DP rebels attempted to disorganize NEC meeting.

Party Chairmen of three districts; Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono have been also removed and party top offices will be the care takers of these districts.

Kidandala whose fate of winning DP ticket for Kawempe North MP seat in 2021 has been spoilt, party top organ offended him for, “Defying NEC resolution, unilaterally suspended the registration process and launched a parallel process based on unauthorized forms.”

In NEC wise ruling, Masaka district led by EALA MP who doubles as National DP VP and Masaka district party chairman has been cleared to proceed with their elections since there were no petition against the process. Kidandala wanted to illegally block this process.

In fact NEC saluted the Masaka process that had so far followed the law to the later.

DETAILS OF NEC RESOLUTION

Quoting Article 18 of the Party Constitution, DP NEC resolution reads;

The National Executive Committee of the Democratic Party sitting at the party offices at Balintuma Road, Nakulabye, Kampala this 14th day of February, 2020.

“These operations have resulted into casualties due to the excessive force used by police, UMEME staff and the contractors, the local leaders have to be present,” writes Sserunjoji.

“I have also learnt from my communities that some of your staff and contractors are the ones who do the illegal connections and in the end, they turn around and report the same. There is need for you to carry out thorough investigations to manage these inconsistencies”

“Whereas we have a policy in our Division about operations, all activities and operations by our stakeholders have to be done after informing the respective local leaders to allow guidance on when the activities are to be done in the Division. This has not observed by your teams,” adds the Mayor.

He said all operations which don’t meet the stipulated criteria are not welcome in the Division before asking different concerned individuals to protect the locals in the area.

“By copy of this letter all stake holders, not limited to local council leaders, security head or commanders are requested to protect our residents and the Division from whoever carries out operations and activities in our areas of jurisdiction without putting into consideration the Council Resolutions in place,” reiterates Sserunjoji.

The Mayor further invited the UMEME Managing Director to the Division offices for a harmonious meeting with all the stakeholders to discuss the improvement opportunities.

The letter was also copied to the Deputy RCC, Kawempe Division, Regional Police Commander, Kampala North, Division Police Commanders, Town Clerk, Kawempe and all LC Chairpersons in Kawempe Division.
