KCCA SPEAKER JOB: SSEGIRINYA CAMP BOOSTED, WARN FDC & NRM CANDIDATES NOT TO WASTE TIME

0

By Meddie Kityo

MUHAMMAD Ssegirinya commonly known as ‘Eddoboozi ly’e Kyebando’ and remembered for carrying a tv set to Parliament in a protest against television subscription taxes has added ingredients in his intentions to contest and win Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Speakership warning opposition FDC party and ruling NRM not to waste time fronting their candidates because he is the best for this job.

His camp has been boosted by support from Amsterdam mayor and leaders who have pledged to give necessary support so that he win the race.

Councilor Sarah Power from Amsterdam city showing Ssegirinya support

Elections are expected anytime and Ssegirinya has vowed to trounce other contestants. So far, four councilors have confirmed their interest to contest for Speakership.

Addressing a rally in Kawempe where he represents as area councilor (KCCA) council,  Ssegirinya who eyes Kawempe North MP seat in 2021 said, no  contestant understands Kampala problems more than him because he is a Ghetto boy so can perfectly serve as KCCA Speaker. 

Amidist chants from his supporters, Ssegirinya said, “It’s you who sent me to KCCA. I have come for your blessings so that I win this race. FDC and NRM should give me because I am the strongest among all contenders but if they turn a deaf ear, let them front their candidates, I will embarrass them on the poling day.”

Clad in a black suite and a people power necktie,  Ssegirinya appealed to Kawempe people to give him support by calling their other area councilors to vote him.

“We don’t want a Speaker who has never stepped in the corridors of our Ghettos. You can’t preside over KCCA council when you don’t know how our market vendors are suffering, why taxi operators are fighting each other and why floods are sweeping away our people in Kampala. You know me, if it calls for a battle, I will to bring out our people voices.” Said Ssegirinya who won as an independent to the Authority.

Asked whether his comming won’t confuse opposition councilors and divide votes which benefits NRM candidate Bruhan Byaruhanga, Ssegirinya said his voters are in NRM,  FDC, DP and Independents.

“A day I declared my Intentions to contest for Speakership, eight councilors defected to my camp. Give me a few days, I only want other 11 councilors and I will be elected Kampala Speaker. KCCA with me as the Speaker, Kampala will change and the capital city will be enjoyed by all classes of people.” Said Ssegirinya.

On reports from some councilors that Ssegirinya dodges council meetings for international travels, he said, “We are elected to lobby for our voters. I went in America and other countries to consult powerful leaders on how they serve their people and also lobby for Kawempe people. I managed to return with a Cancer testing machines which will officially be launched by Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi. This is what other leaders must do,”

On whether he has enough qualifications for the job, Ssegirinya proudly asked, “All those contesting, who performed well in S. 6 than me? I got 17 points and passed General Paper.  Let any of those contesting say he or she performed better than me.”

Asked whether, if Lord  mayor give him a call, asking him to leave for his candidate Doreen Nyanjura, Ssegirinya who said Hon. Kyagulanyi okayed his standing,  vowed never calling Nyanjura the weakest candidate in the race.

He said, will organise rallies in all Kampala constituencies and ask electorates to call their councilors, vote for him.

Other contenders are; Haji Abubaker Kawalya (FDC), Bruhan Byaruhanga( (NRM) and Doreen Nyanjura (FDC).

OPINION: HOW IDI AMIN GAVE MOI THE KENYAN PRESIDENCY & WHY UGANDANS SHOULD RESPECT VP SSEKANDI

0

HUSSEIN LUMUMBA AMIN

AS East Africa mourns Mzee Daniel Arap Moi, I write this not only as an attempt to publish the hidden history behind my late father’s untold legacy, but mostly to bring an important detail for the sake of Uganda’s journey towards the elusive first ever peaceful transfer of power.
That is why I would like to recall events in Kenya on August 1978 when President Jomo Kenyatta passed away, and Vice President Daniel Arap Moï became the new Kenyan president.
My father President Idi Amin flew to Nairobi for the state funeral. Two very odd things happened at the time which I will never forget. The first one was just anecdotal. As we watched the event live on television from back at State House Entebbe, Ugandans could see on their screens Idi Amin joining all the leaders and foreign dignitaries as they walked behind the late Kenyatta’s funeral cortege on the main avenue in Nairobi. The Kenyan public stood all alongside the road, and upon noticing Idi Amin, they temporarily forgot about the funeral, and started waving and jubilating instead. That was how popular Amin was even in Kenya.
The second development during this time was far more serious, and is an important lesson/knowledge that we as a country, especially the leaders of today and tomorrow, should always have in mind for the sake of national stability.
Though Daniel Arap Moi was Vice President at the time, it appears there was a group of the late Jomo Kenyatta’s closest friends and confidants who had already made other succession arrangements together with the late Kenyatta before his death.
Now while those tribalist succession plans had been known publicly and had even failed to be formalized in the Kenyan Parliament previously, the people of Kenya do not know how close they came to a political crisis as those same tribalist succession plans were stealthily revived at the death of Jomo Kenyatta.
After Kenyatta’s funeral, President Idi Amin had been taken to State House Nairobi where he was having a briefing with Vice President Moï before heading to the airport and back to Kampala.
When the Ugandan leader casually asked about Daniel Arap Moï ‘s inauguration ceremony to the position of president, the Vice President told him that things were complicated and that he wasn’t even sure about his future in Kenya. Amin insisted on knowing what was going on, and after many attempts Mzee Moï reluctantly told Amin about “the alternative succession plan” that was secretely under way by Jomo Kenyatta’s closest political allies.
My father used to tell us these stories every evening after supper, though unfortunately I cannot remember the names of the three individuals who were said to be plotting to take the top positions in Kenya.
However older Kenyans probably know the people that I’m talking about, and who had been preparing their own succession plan all along.
What then happened is that the Ugandan leader quickly understood that there was a dangerous power struggle building, and it was outside the proper state succession provisions.
Amin then asked Daniel Arap Moï to at least call these individuals to State House for a quick meeting, and simultaneously postponed his return to Kampala indefinitely.
Everyone being at the funeral in Naïrobi meant that it was only a short while before all those concerned arrived at State House.
After the greetings, President Idi Amin bluntly told them about the rumours he had heard in regards to the plot for an illegal succession, and warned them about it’s dangers to the country’s stability if anyone went on with those plans. He told them that the proper procedure was for the Vice President to become the president, and anything else would be seen as either an unjustifiable coup and/or some illegal undertaking against the people of Kenya. This, Amin said, had the potential of completely destabilizing the country and even Uganda which economically depends on Kenya for it’s imports and exports since Uganda is a landlocked country.
By the end of the meeting, thanks to the respect they all had for Amin as a strong, popular African leader, the charismatic Ugandan president had quickly got all the assurances that the normal process would now take place, and Vice president Daniel Arap Moï would be quickly inaugurated as President of Kenya.
All this was not in the public domain. Kenyans actually believe the succession happened so smoothly. Not knowing how bad things were poised to become had my father not intervened at that material time.
For the record, I would like todays Ugandan leaders to take note of this requirement for the Vice president to be “quickly inaugurated” in such circumstances. Uganda has not yet had that peaceful transition/succession experience, and God knows how this knowledge might one day save the country, it’s economy, and it’s people from bloody illicit backdoor power struggles.
We have to have a mechanical system of immediate swearing-in of the vice president once the sitting president has been medically declared dead.
If I recall well, when US president John F. Kennedy was assassinated, the Vice president was immediately sworn in, barely an hour later, in mid-air, in the very plane that the late President had come with to Dallas, Texas where he was then shot.
The succession procedures exist in the 1995 Constitution, but we know how watered down that document has become. So given the political realities of Uganda today, we all know that the chances of a sitting president dying in office is the scenario with the highest probability to occur. And if it does happen, for the sake of stability, all citizens of Uganda must insist on the Vice President Edward Sekandi holding the country together. At least until the next elections. And we should all insist on him, not because he is Sekandi, or NRM, or a Muganda by tribe, but because he is the one holding the office of the Vice President.
If the entire country does not have this plan solidly grounded in the national understanding, even regardless of which person becomes Vice President in the future, who knows how many people out there could be plotting their own alternative succession plans right now as we speak, and at the terrible expense of the lives and livelihoods of all the people of this country?
For the record, I highly suspect several people within, and others close to State House, to be secretely harbouring such ambitions, and just waiting for their “Jomo Kenyatta moment”.
Meanwhile, in 1978 the uncertainty in Kenya, and the lengthy political succession timelines meant that President Idi Amin literally averted a major crisis in Kenya where there was likely to be a collapse of the state and probable violence amongst the different powerful individuals, their tribes/ethnic groups, and their supporters.
By Amin ensuring that Daniel Arap Moï became Acting president until the KANU party conference, Kenya survived political anarchy.
And that is how Mzee Daniel Arap Moï became President of the Republic of Kenya, thanks to Idi Amin. Kenyans were literally saved from untold mayhem without them even knowing it, and the new Kenyan leader quietly maintained a deep and personal respect for Amin for the rest of his life mainly because of that episode. Looking back now, many might notice that he never made personal public statements for or against Idi Amin.

RIP Mzee Daniel Arap Moï & may God Almighty cleanse him of any earthly mistakes.

US IMPEACHMENT: HOW SENATE VOTED TO ACQUIT DONALD TRUMP ON THE TWO CHARGES

0

News Editor

REPUBLICAN strongman Donald Trump must be the happiest on planet earth after Senate last night cleared thd US President of abuse of power and obstruction of justice ending a historic Senate trial that was centered on his conduct toward Ukraine but that did not include live witnesses or new documents.

ANNOUNCING RESULTS

The presiding officer said;

In the first article (charge) of Impeachment,  48 senators pronounced President of United States Donald Joh Trump guilty as charged. 

52 Senators  have pronounced him not guilty as charged. Two-thirds of the Senators present not having pronounced him guilty, the Senate adjudges that the respondent Donald Trump, president of United States is not guilty in the first article of Impeachment.  

On this article of Impeachment,  47 senators pronounced President of United States Donald Joh Trump guilty as charged. 

53 Senators  have pronounced him not guilty as charged. Two-thirds of the Senators present not having pronounced him guilty, the Senate adjudges that the respondent Donald Trump, president of United States is not guilty in the second article of Impeachment.

The presiding office directs judgement to be entered in accordance with the judgement as follows:

The Senate having tried Donald John Trump President of United States upon two articles of Impeachment exhibited against him by the house of Representatives and two thirds of the Senators present not having found him guilty of the charges contained therein, it is therefore ORDERED and Adjudged that the said  Donald John Trump be, and he is hereby acquitted of the charges in said articles.

2ND TERM LOADING

Republicans were heard chanting Trump name saying, there danger man will leave office in 2024 meaning, winning comming elections will just be a walk over.

The Senate has voted in favour of acquitting President Trump in the impeachment trial.

All Democrats and one Republican – Mitt Romney – voted against the president on his charges of abuse of power but senators on both sides voted along party lines for his charge of obstruction of justice.

The president’s campaign manager said: “President Trump has been totally vindicated and it’s now time to get back to the business of the American people”.

The acquittal follows a State of the Union address Tuesday night in which Trump pointed to the strong economy as vindication as he sought to move on from impeachment. The speech ended with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tearing up a copy of Trump’s prepared remarks.

The crux of the case against Trump is the allegation that he withheld military aid and a White House meeting to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son. Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, while his father was vice president.

OPINION: VOTE OF THANKS TO PARLIAMENT ON NEW CURRICULUM

0

EMANUEL PIUS SSENTONGO

I HAVE been keenly following the New Curriculum issue and I’ve realized that the Parliament of Uganda is right to suspend it.

Where’s Swahili spoken? Is it in our Parliament, Offices, shopping malls, where? How many teachers that will teach Swahili? Why rush things as if UGANDA is ending today!

Why not prepare for the new curriculum for at least three years? Give time to TTCs produce more professional Swahili Teachers.. what will happen to Teachers who have been teaching scrapped subjects?

Physical Education is compulsory, do all schools have play grounds? Some schools are in houses that were meant for shops (ebiduuka).

Are we going to hire Swahili Teachers from Kenya or Tanzania? By the way, which kind of Swahili are we going to teach our children? Tanzanian, Kenyan or Zanzibar?

There’s a saying, “Swahili was born in Zanzibar, grew up in Tanzania, got sick in Kenya, died in Uganda and was buried in D.R. Congo.” The Swahili of Tanzania is different from each country.

Who told the NRM Government that in order to have East African Integration or Community, we have to speak one language? What’s the language spoken by European Union? Is it Belgian, German, or French? No language. Naye who are the Think Tankers of our Government..!!

Remember the Ministry of Education asked for over 100 billion shillings to implement the new curriculum.

Some sane, objective Ugandans are not against the new curriculum because there are good changes but there was a need to consult the Stakeholders.
