Never kick a man already on the ground!!!

Nina dearest,
Today I feel great love for you and I do not care who is listening! Whether its your computer whizz kids and script kiddies from the NRM “election monitoring” centre, daddy’s boys from his security minster days or Uncle Kags half brained intelligence goons, I do not care! Didnt you use to run that electronic election monitoring group? I remember Uncle Kags giving you recognition for a job well done! I hear that your bu boys had mastered the art of “monitoring” and playing with everything to do with elections! Mbu they understood Kiggundu’s electoral commission computers and software better than he himself did!!! Are you sure they didnt tamper with the data? Ye what did you do with them? Did you disband them or are they deployed elsewhere?
I predicted that your NRM guys were going to have a pyrrhic victory as they were dead set on winning but there victory would be very short lived! Having watched the last few months, I can say for sure that I am a seer, and the NRM are suckers!!! If thi were not my country, I would be laughing but the situation in Uganda is not a laughing matter!To watch your people staggering from one crisis to another like a drunkard in a drunken haze is sad and demoralising! One feels obliged to put you guys out of your misery! You know I always pitied obama for winning the American presidency when he did for he walked into a time bomb set to detonate! Can you imagine taking over after ten years of George Bush bumbling around the white house? Me if i were him, I would have givent their presidency back to them! Now the guy copes the blame for all of the blunders made by his predecessor! And the Republicans in their short sighted tea wasted brains take it out on him each day!
The beauty about Uganda though is that the guys who made the mess we are in now are still there for target practice!!! With each day, as the pile of cards over which they have presided for a quarter century begins to unravel, one gets a sense of mob justice! Please do not be shocked -like you do not live in Uganda! Mob justice is the order of the day!!! Certainly if chicken thieves are beaten to death everyday how about the political thieves in parliament, cabinet and t all levels of local government!
The economy is collapsing! But what did you guys expect when you were spending money like it was going out of fashion! President Kaguta with the connivance of those dishonourable MP’s was handing out brown envelopes to all and sundry in exchange for a vote for the man in the hat! In your economic classes at Nottngham, am sure they taught about the effects of dumping cash into the economy! They then went on a spending spree like there was no tomorrow! Bright new fancy toys the modern equivalent of the beads and mirrors the olden chiefs sold their people for were soon bought at the expense of our national reserves!!!
NAye ekuba omunaku tekya! That shortsighted stop gap thermal electricity generation scheme also fell apart. I received a scoop in my inbox of the confidential Saleh report on UMEME that makes some very interesting reading! I intend to share some of the details with you in a short while after I have digested them!!! Kale absajja babye ssente! Naye as my grandmother used to say, God bless her soul, zijja balakira!!!
This was on the back of that incompetent police force that decided to riot and destroy property and peoples lives! They were at it again a few days ago in Masaka! I wonder what the IQ cut off is for recruitment into the police! Dont they learn from their mistakes? If you confront a peaceful demonstration with force and violence, you create a riot! Do you think you can ask daddy to call that Kayihura fellow and drum it into his head?
Naye banange, mubonyabonya banUganda naye the policemen! Hah! Those one you treat like subhumans! Have you ever seen where the policemen and their broods live? Even if it were me! i would come out of those mama ingia pole very angry with the world and take it out on everyone who appears to be enjoying better than me! And trust me at 160,000 Ushs that you py them to catch the flies with their tongues or be eaten by mosquitoes while you guys are warming yourselves up inside, its a wonder they do not turn their guns on you! Talking about security officers, I hear mbu you guys steal from those other poor men in uniform dying in Somalia in a war they do not understand fighting for people who hate them and for a government without universal appeal! Its actually said that the TFG controls only a few blocks of Mogadishu. I hear, your guys mistook a tactical withdrawal for a victory! Maye obusajja mubuwe ssente zabwo!
Then there are those others in Kampala trying to make money off a bad situation! Mbu they briefed minister Muruli Mukasa that there were Ugandan terrorists on FB masquerading as activists!
The word terrorist is so devalued, any self respecting terrorist would feel insulted if he was referred to as a terrorist by a Ugandan government functionary! Quite frankly, am sure none of the members of this government from the president downwards has any idea what it really means!!!
Then they produced a nonsensical report about a poo demonstration! Quite frankly where do you guys recruit these bu guys from! i hope you do not take their intelligence reports seriously!!! But apparently you do as today significant resources have been deployed to prevent Besigye from pooing at City square!!! Mbu he woke up today surrounded and has been followed around all day! Banange ssente yomusiru!!!
Then everyone wanted to demonstrate what Museveni and his men call rioting! Do your guys have dictionaries? Could they use them to differentiate between a riot and a demonstration! Rioting is what those little spoilt brats in the UK were doing last week! Demonstrating is what Ugandans try to do until your police goons start to riot!
Naye kakati twogere ku sukali! Who exactly advises Uncle Kaguta? IS this really the best time to bring up Mabira or are they looking for more excuses to kill more Ugandans? Mabira was the first issue that Ugandans stood upto Museveni’s bullying on! Those Mehta guys are looking for something too! Am sure they will get what it is they are looking for if they continue to pursue this! The ridiculousness of trying to blame the rise in sugar prices on a lack of adequate acreage is appaling! Who do they think they are fooling?
For months its obvious this government is floundering like a fish pulled out of water! They are totally confused and in disarray! Did you see that interesting uncoordinated troop movement on sugar as well as the traders (KACITA) strike? The trade minster has no idea what is going on! Talking about communication, that woman Kabakumba, who couldnt manage one ka little ministry of information now has several more ‘fortpolios’ given to her! Talk about rewarding incompetence!
I told you daddy dear was set up! But please tell him to watch his back! If he doubts me, he should watch what is happening to his former rival and boss Bukenya! The other day those unkind journalists snapped poor Bukenya bending over and kissing daddy’s hand! Not only were they content with sacking the poor guy, but they are proceeding to destroy him and any future political prospects he may have! With a criminal conviction spent or pardoned, he will be ineligible to stand for president come 2016 even if he could marshal the numbers!!! That to me appears to be the main strategy behind this ongoing prosecution! It appears that the man was right when he alluded to a mafia out to get him! Imagine all of his brothers in crime have been declared innocent before trial and are not even being charged!
My grandmother told me that “bwomega toluma” -when you throw your opponent, its bad sportsmanship to bite them as well! Not only are they kicking poor Bukenya while he is on the ground, but they are kicking him in the nuts too!!!
As you lay your bed, so shall you sleep in it! You guys need to learn to treat others as you would have others treat you! After that humiliation and brutality against Besigye and the vindictive selective prosecution against Balibaseka, I fear for you! You should feather your nests overseas!!!
Learning to share the loot!

Dear Nina,
I am not sure what motivated your posts today but I believe that we are well on the way to speaking the same language!
This is not about Museveni! My main problem with Uganda’s immature opposition is their focus on Museveni alone as …an individual even when they have no alternate plans at all on how they will govern Uganda better! Many cannot even produce a statement on government policy such as the budget!
That said, Besigye has as much right to aspire to be president as Museveni. And so does every other member of the opposition! no man has got the right to treat a country like his private property! those who fought have us to thank for their success in their war! my own father who never handled a gun, at great risk to himself bought and sent drugs to the NRM while they were in the bush at the request of his cousins who were both fighters in the NRA. i doubt that this is recorded anywhere in the NRA records. For this he could have died and his family with him. He was only one of many Ugandans who protected Museveni and his men with their own lives even when they themselves did not handle any guns! So this business of monopolising our war and limiting it to some mythical 27 men is fraud! this was our war! We own it. it was not Museveni’s war! In many ways it was buganda’s war and he was only a mercenary!
When we criticise the government we are specifically pointing out its failures! This is called constructive criticism! It used to be a catchword of the NRM before they became decadent!
I have never called for Museveni to be killed, or even evicted in a war! I have called for him to retire and go look after his birds and goats and hand back our property! this is not his country and it should no be treated like private property for him to rule for life while setting us up for hereditary rule!
I have also cautioned about the Tsunami that is coming Museveni’s way should he refuse to step aside. The NRM itself needs to get serious and jump out of one mans dream! Other reasons aside which i will not go into today, why can’t your father lead the NRM? Why can’t Joanita’s? Or any of the other members of the NRM?
the Jasmine train has unmasked a basic human yearning for some control in their own political destiny. It has demonstrated that it is not natural for people in this modern world to continue to be ruled by the same man till his death while clearing the way for his own offspring to take over. It has demonstrated that given the option, people want tired old autocrats enlightened or not out of office and they will risk bullets if necessary to see them go!
Your people keep telling us about elections and how Museveni will win this election! Well North Africa has demonstrated that this means nothing! In some professions there is such a thing as informed consent! informed consent implies that the person making a decision has got the capacity to make that decision! its a central principle of ethics.
You and I can debate just how informed the masses in Uganda are. We could also debate the merits and demerits of people deciding who to vote on the basis of information available to them. We have demonstrated here time and time again that information provided to ugandans by this government is flawed and many times doctored and fraudulent. that the fats if explained clearly to the paesant would so enrage them that Museveni would be out tomorrow! Case in point -our Mulago debate or that on health centres the figures for which keep getting trotted out even by the president himself yet his own minister for health admitted only 38% were staffed and most didnt even have the basic drugs required!
If you keep smoking whatever it is you smoked today, we are going to get on like a house on fire! I wish you could share some of it with Alice Rubindi for she is so out of touch with the common man in Uganda its painful to read her posts!
PS -this is as close as you are going to get to a compliment!See More

When the chickens come home to roost!
Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 9:52pm
My dearest Nina,
I know you are hiding from me! I know you were hoping that I was distracted by the Obote debate but unfortunately it doesnt really interest me! I actually find it boring! Mbu they wanted me to compare Uncle Kags and the late Obote! What a waste of time! Even baiting that Kakwenzire guy was only interesting for like two hours!
Unfortunately the comedy of events that is Uganda has conspired to make you hide yourself from me! But you know my dear, I cannot just let you go without a fight. You and I have got to talk about these things! Hiding in shame will not solve the problems that your uncles are causing us! Quite frankly if Uganda wasn’t so tragic, I would be laughing! But its hard to know whether to laugh or cry!
You remember very well how I warned you that our uncles win would be a pyrrhic victory. I remember you and your aunt Alice scoffing and saying you would be having a party and breaking out the champagne while I would be hiding my head in shame! I really hate to tell you BUT I told you so! That your uncles would “win” but will then be left holding the ashes with tears running down their faces! I wonder how daddy feels now! I told you Uncle Kaguta gave him a poisoned chalice!
If he fails, and things are not looking too good, he will become the scapegoat! Am afraid the way things look, the future does not bode well! And all those Bakiga are not helping! Like the Muhiire, Mutebile, Kanyeihamba -I wonder what they put in the muramba these days! Suddenly they are all asking hard questions! Am waiting for that Ndugu man to join the choir too! You know uncle Kaguta does not like regions that do not support him! Mbu the government will only support those regions that support him! He has been singing that song for years and has demonstrated just how vindictive he can be! Like Yahweh, he punishes the sons for the sins of their fathers! At this rate even that ka -one hospital in Kabalae you were crying about will be closed down! And then you will be eating lizards in Kanungu like those Bateso who refused to support the NRM! And Kabwegyere will be telling you that you Bakiga are all lazy and just sit around drinking muramba like he told the Bateso! Even those Acholis saw the wriing on the wall and “massively” voted for Museveni in that so called election in February!
You know I told you your people would bankrupt this nation! You people were spending money like it had gone out of fashion! 6.5 to buy LC’s, 650 billion for the presidents vote and popularity buying spree, 20 million each to MP’s for their cooperation and passing the “Kabaka muzzling bill”, 3 billion for the ka victory party at Kololo that was eclipsed by the free one on Entebbe road where not a cent was spent, 1.7 trillion for those expensive jets they don’t know what to do with -banange! And your aunt Alice said mbu Museveni had an ark only for yellow girls like yourself! And those of us who said these things would be left out to drown! Now its true everyone is drowning. Am assuming that you yellow girls are inside the ark cushioned from all of the mayhem outside!
Kampala is becoming strike city! I wonder, are you going to shoot all of them? I saw Nabakooba warning them yesterday -mbu she has intelligence they want to cause havoc! Dont these people learn anything? I can see afande Kayihura is now keeping a very low profile!
Yesterday it was traders. Ne bwemba nze! Trading certificates going up virtually overnight by 300% and being asked to pay taxes in dollars while earning in a depreciating shilling? You know people are really angry at all of that money the useless ministers and MP’s as well as RDC’s and various other political hangers on take home! Taxi drivers are joining them too! i think at this rate I may have to invest in a tear gass factory and pepper spray. It will be the only industry that is recession proof! I may need your contacts to the PM and the IGP! 78% of the population was born under Museveni and most of them are unemployed! Can you imagine a more dangerous time bomb? No wonder you guys build such high walls around your homes and some even block off whole streets!
When those kids come for their ebyaffe, me I won’t hang around to talk to them! Did you see how Uncle Onek was whipping them up? Mbu show me the foreigners so we can deal with them, he said! Mbu they are let in by corrupt people! Now I wonder who these corrupt people are! I thought you people had cadres controlling immigration! Its such a classic trick am surprised people still fall for it! When the NRM mismanages the economy, blame the muyindi! The next thing you know, they will be torching poor Indians instead of the people who are robbing them blind! Isn’t that the old Obote trick -if you are poor, its because of the Baganda and if you are lazy -agan blame the Baganda! For Idi Amin, it was even easier -blame the Indians! When things were bad for Moi, he would point the finger at Ugandans. When the Brits are suffering, they point at hard working “Paki’s” and Africans! Mbu they are taking their jobs! When the Americans are reaping the fruits of their greed, they point a finger at Mexicans! But the Baganda saw that one a long time ago! When you point a finger at someone else, you should be awar of the other fingers pointing back at you!
Now the NRM is into molesting old men! I know your guys were embarrassed by a body turning up right at Museveni’s doorstem right under their noses! Come to think of it right under daddy’s nose! Didnt he use to be the head honcho aka Security minister? I wonder what he can tell us about that! But I bet he can’t tell us much! If he couldn’t tell us much about the Kanungu massacre that killed hundreds right at his doorstep!
You know during that Global fund /GAVI circus when the government was pretending to prosecute Muhwezi, Mukula and Kamugisha, they all,led by Muhwezi got bail mbu they were very old men -at the ripe old age of fifty! And the government agreed to the bail without contest and no objection on the basis of “advanced age”!!! I wonder what they think of Grandpa Kajura then or Kivedhinda!!! But Mukaira at 83 has been detained on remand mbu for treason despite the rather dodgy details!
Now that lady who ate our money to attend Havard for a phD at the grand cost of 1.5 million USD (2.5 billion Ushs at the time), has been shooting off like a loose cannon again! Mbu only the president can sack her! Even after she is caught with her hand in the till! But I guess after one survives selling invisible dams to a nation, one can survive anything! Mbu she even said some rather unmentionable things about her unmentionables and Uncle Kags!! Me I decided to block my ears as I didnt want to go deaf! The woman can talk -mbu she was never beaten for having a big mouth, or opening it for that matter! When a woman that age starts to kuwemula in public, you know that the world has gone mad! But if we measured the sanity of the world by Ms Kazibwe’s mouth, we would all be in an assylum!
This government is a joke as is their war on corruption! Instead of starting with themsleves and arresting themselves, they continue to look elsewhere for scapegoats! 25 years in power! 25 years of “fighting corruption” without results! 25 years of looking for the thieves elsewhere but in the NRM where they have become the managers! In this assylum, the loonies rule the roost!
I hope you are stocking up on USD! At this rate, the Uganda shilling won’t be worth the paper its printed on! And those hungry and angry guys -me they are beginning to worry me!
I leave you with this video of hunger in Teso that I found very annoying! Its annoying that in a land with good soils, good climate and two rain seasons, people can live like this! But then again, define visionless!
As you lay your bed, so shall you lie in it! Give my regards to your aunt Alice and the other yellow girls! She is so having to eat her words!!!
The chickens have come home to roost!
The vermin of Africa are rising up!
Monday, August 22, 2011 at 9:25pm
Dearest Nina,
Banange ndowooza mwe kati musula mukukunadde! Like Ugandans in central Ugandan used to during Obote II -ready to take off at short notice with their muguggu on their heads!!! Are you already packed? I hope Uncle Kaguta’s household are already packed! You know you do not have to go with them! Me I will offer you refuge under my bed!!!
Today is a very special day! The king of kings, leader of the revolutionary Jamuhuriya of Libya has been spat out by his people! You know the man after whom your sister is named, and who provided the arms which your guys used to smoke Obote? The same man who has continued to provide support, visiting every year and even declaring that uncle Kaguta should never retire as revolutionaries never retire?
He he eh! Comrade leader Ghadafi has been terminated and retired in the publics best interests -by rats and cockroaches! And you should see the congratulatory messages coming from the rest of the vermin of this world! From the dregs of society in Kampala -congratulations! Ditto from the germs and lice in Syria! I wonder what kind of vermin those people of Malawi are!
One thing you can rest assured of is that this is notice to all those African “leaders” who have turned themselves into life presidents and kings!!! I am waiting eagerly by my al Jazeera TV to see him pulled out of a hole in the ground like a rat. I hope the Libyans will be more civilised than those Americans who brutally decapitated the other “Great leader” Sadam!!! I wonder whether uncle Kaguta is going to send congratulatory messages to the people of Libya who have finally had their own revolution, not the fraudulent revolution of one man and his family they have been sold for 42 years!!!
I notice that Uncle Kaguta has recently been visiting Kigali and South africa! I think your guys used to call that “recce” when you were in the bush! Is that where you guys intend to ‘retire”? But I forget, you were never in the bush! Sometimes I forget that not everyone who is eating actually slept in the bush!!! Me and my family we slept in the bush -when Obote’s soldiers were marauding! Can you imagine, it was safer to sleep out in the garden and lusuku than to sleep in ones own bed!!! Yet yesterday some idiot charged with nostalgia dared to ask me what I had against Obote!!! I hope that you will not take my side swipe at Obote to mean that I will not be throwing a party when the Jasmine train comes to Kampala! I think its time to go!!! time to kusiba mu ebyanguwa and hit the road before those peasants and rats fueled on social media and hunger come for you guys with pitchforks!
I wonder why of all countries he could exile himself to when the dregs and lumpens come to get him out of state house, he would chose countries that have actually tried to create a reasonable living environment for their people! Why does he not go to Goma? Or juba? Or maybe Somalia? Or just an IDP in Gulu -that would do!!!
You know Europeans and Americans will not take him except to the Hague! Those are fairweather friends who will be the first ones to find evidence of atrocities and crimes against humanity! And they will suddenly “find” billions they have been keeping for him in their bank accounts and real estate which they will freeze! These days its becoming very hard for a former leader to find a retirement home!!! Those days it was as easy as flying to Saudi arabia but they too have filled their quota of dictators!!! At least me I would be ok with him going back to Rwakitura even though am very sure there are others who will not be!!!
There was a group of yellow men and women who claimed Mubarak would never go! When it came to Ghadafi, they wree even more emphatic -Ghadafi was going no where! I wonder what happened to your friends Anika, Rubindi, Tracy, Mugerwa! Will they eat their wonderful words I wonder!!!
My position then and now is that if and when a leader turns his own people into cannon fodder for expressing dissent, then he too becomes a legitimate target and his people automatically get emancipated! The government loses its automatic right to have a monopoly on bearing arms and people are allowed to defend themselves! That is what happened in libya! Ghadafi turned his people into targets for target practice. They got emancipated, hired some big guns and smoked his behind! And in the process, he lost whatever legacy he could ever lay claim too as well as a few of his sons! i really wonder, do dictators really love their sons? Most peoples instinct is to protect their sons while dictators appear to send their own children to premature deaths!
Museveni once said that “… the security of the people of Uganda is their right and not a favour bestowed by any regime. No regime has the right to kill any citizen of this country, or to beat any citizen at a roadblock. We make it clear to our soldiers that if they abuse any citizen, the punishment they will receive will teach them a lesson. As for killing people – if you kill a citizen, you yourself will be killed.” I wonder why he has forgotten these words. I wonder why he did not share them with his friend Ghadafi!!
I wonder who the next African king to bite the dust is going to be! You know they are all determined to go out the same way -like Bin Ali, Mubarak, Gbabo and now Ghadafi! All cling to power in the delusional belief that they were ordained to rule forever and that they have the only vision in the country even when their eyes become rheumy and their sight dim as do their minds! All until they are pulled out of a hole in the ground? I bet when Ghadafi is pulled out of the ground, he will declare himself the King of Libya -just like Sadaam did!
The candidates for next in line have been in power for more tan two decades, may or may not have held sham election, or more, will have come to power through the gun, will have their familiestribes and cronies involved in and deeply embedded in state business, lead corrupt governments, have large numbers of disenchanted unemployed young people with access to cellphones, the internet and social media, beleieve that they and them alone hold the only vision in the land, will have their sons in their armies and cabinet and will have demonstrated no compunctions about shooting their own people to keep themselves in power!
Can you think of such a leader? I can! The jasmine train is approaching! Its weaving. Its scent is wafting ever closer across the desert! and it will dock, come rain or sunshine! it may go to Djobouti, or to Eritrea, to Malawi, or to Zimbabwe but ultimately, it is coming to town!!! Dont ask me which town! Just pack some stuff!
O
Time to activate exit strategies! And just in case your uncles think those two fghter jets will change anything, they need to know that uncle Gad had plenty more of those, plenty more and better gunships, scud missiles and all sorts of ordinance plus loads of money!
Of course the Libyans are going to have to be on the look out for the European fairweather friends out to shaft them too while ‘liberating’ them of their oil and resources!!! After Iraq, am sure the Libyans know that not everyone who comes to your aid is your friend! Some are their to shaft you too and it becomes exchanging one master for another.
The dregs of the earth salute the rats and cockroaches! The vermin of Africa are saluting themselves ! It is the era of the vermin!!! Walalala, eminya, emesse, amakonkome, ebinyira, envunza. byonna bikutte wansi ne wagulu!
Something that has always been missing from Africa has come to town -the leaders are now afraid of their people as opposed to the situation where the people have always been terrified of their leaders! Do you guys still believe in demystifying the gun?
