Bobi condemns abduction of his 2 more supporters
President Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert has again taken to social media, a tool he has used overtime to preach against rights violations. This morning, he has relayed concerns over the persisten use of drones to abduct his supporters. His condemnation comes a day after the security agencies yesterday relied on an altered narrative by ex torture victim Mwesigwa Eric who claimed that NUP was behind the abductions.
Bobi says in a space of just hours, two more of his supporters have been abducted by security forces.
“As the regime is still doing its best to deflect responsibility for the current wave of abductions, yesterday night we received news of yet another comrade abducted. Mugumya Gaddafi was brutally abducted at night from Nakuwadde in Bulenga along Mityana Road and put in a drone which then sped off to an unknown location,” Bobi said in a statement published today morning.
“They had first abducted his wife, released her and then abducted his friend Tomusange alias ‘Mosquito’ on 15th February 2023. Tomusange (in the second photo) also remains missing to date. We are doing our best to locate both comrades and the many others who disappeared in similar fashion. We demand that the regime #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners #BringBackOurPeople,” he added.

Sad; NUP abducted Councillor held incommunicado for 25 days now
Today marks 25 days since this comrade Muwanga Owen Martin was abducted by the military! He remains under incommunicado detention. He is an elected Councillor in Kyengera, and impassioned activist. Ironically, he was taken away by heavily armed operatives moving in a drone UAL 119V as he returned home after the screening of the Documentary about the gross violations of human rights. Although the police spokesperson admitted that he is in the custody of ‘security’, he has neither been produced in court. His family, lawyers, doctors, and friends have all been denied access to him. Today, our legal team will be asking court to issue a Habeas Corpus order for his release. Very sad state of affairs! #BringBackOurPeople

Bobi Wine outraged by rampant poverty in Oyam
President Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert aka Bobi Wine was today outraged by the obscene poverty in Oyam District and Northern Uganda at large.
Bobi had gone to drum up for support for the NUP candidate Daniel Okello who is tussling it out with four other candidates.
In his message, Bobi expressed his disgust at the NRM regime which he says has impoverished the people of Northern Uganda.
Bobi Wine statement;
We spent the day in Oyam North Constituency preaching the message of liberation to our people there! The population in Northern Uganda has been deliberately impoverished and subdued. The levels of poverty are unbelievable. It was very painful seeing old people asking us if we moved with some food because they are starving! The NRM machinery only comes around during elections. It is then that these people get to see the “government” through the long military convoys driving around regime officials! It is during elections that these people are bribed with as little as 500 Uganda shillings and given new empty promises.
Well, we made several stop-overs around the constituency with our comrade Daniel Okello, and yet again reminded these people about the extent of the problem our country faces and everyone’s duty to deliver our nation from this mess. I am grateful to our people for the overwhelming reception, despite all the intimidation and military deployment everywhere! Uganda will be free!

MP Zaake to be heard today
The Constitutional Court will today begin re-hearing the 2022 impeachment case of Mityana Municipality Member of Parliament (MP), Francis Zaake.
Zaake petitioned the Constitutional Court seeking its declaration to, among other things; overturn his controversial removal from the position of commissioner of parliament for allegedly insulting Speaker Anita Among on social media.
This was after Zaake and his lawyer complained of a delayed judgment on June 5 before the court’s administrator Justice Geoffrey Kiryabiwre who informed them that court suffered manpower shortage on quorum following the promotion of Justice Steven Musota to the Supreme Court.
Justice Musota was among the five justices who heard Zaake’s petition in June 2022.
Other justices are; Catherine Bamugemereire, Christopher Izama Madrama, Muzamiru Mutangula Kibeedi, and Irene Mulyagonja.
In his petition, Zaake details the events that took place prior to his alleged removal.
He also claims that each member of the parliament’s committee on Rules, Privileges, and Discipline, who participated in his removal, received a kick-back of Shs6 million.
A total of 155 MPs voted to remove Zaake from the position after being found guilty of disparaging the speaker.
