Bobi eulogizes lawyer Wameli

Published

on

Speaking at the ceremony held at Makerere Kavule yesterday, NUP principal, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine described the party’s former head of legal team as a rare, self-driven, passionate lawyer, friend and a God-fearing father who worked selflessly to witness rule of law in the country.


“Counsel Wameli has played his part; he stood in for the ones everyone think deserve no justice like Jamil Mukulu. When our comrades were arrested or abducted during campaigns, brother Wameli tirelessly worked to secure their justice and many were released because of his efforts,” Mr Kyagulanyi said.

He added: “Just like many other friends and government officials, our brother died while on a medical tour, not because he was rich but simply because the NRM regime has failed almost all the hospitals in this country, and we continue to demand for better services.”


While eulogising his fellow departed learned friend, Kampala Lord Mayor, Mr Erias Lukwago said: “Lawyers are known to be expensive and I am a lawyer, but this was not a case with Wameli; he literally served for justice and passion. Money was never his priority in delivering his service, rest in peace Wameli.” 

Wameli will be laid to rest tomorrow at his ancestral home in Namisindwa district, Eastern Uganda. His body has been prayed for at Revived Christian Church in Kyebando where he has been serving as a pastor in the final moments of his life.

Sad; NUP abducted Councillor held incommunicado for 25 days now

Published

on

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

Published

on

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!

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.
