Bobi issues statement on Karamoja iron sheets bonanza
National Unity Platform party president Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert has today issued a statement on the scandal that struck the office of the Prime Minister which oversaw the illegal allocation of iron sheets to cabinet ministers and local government officials.
In his statement published this afternoon, Bobi exposes the rot in the NRM regime that seemingly condones corruption. Below is his statement;
ON THE KARAMOJA IRON SHEETS SCANDAL!
I am disturbed but not surprised by revelations implicating high-ranking officials in the stealing of iron sheets that were intended for distribution to the poor people of Karamoja.
The iron sheets, kept under the charge of the Prime Minister, were meant to support the livelihoods and social infrastructure of people in Karamoja recently affected by famine and state-sponsored insecurity. Instead, they were shared on WhatsApp by well-placed thieves in Government.
It is reported that between 25th January and 8th February 2023, about 6000 of the iron sheets were shared among beneficiaries including the Vice President; the Speaker of Parliament; the Prime Minister; the First and Third Deputy Prime Ministers; the Government Chief Whip; the MINISTER OF ETHICS AND INTEGRITY; the State Minister for Finance; the State Minister for Refugees; the State Minister for Karamoja Affairs; the State Minister of Agriculture; and the State Minister for Bunyoro Affairs, among others. Two of these individuals, including the previous Speaker of Parliament, have confirmed sharing in the loot!
The current Speaker, Anita Among, claims she was unaware the iron sheets might have been stolen but that she nevertheless ordered for their distribution to schools in her home district, Bukedea; a district she certainly knows is located outside Karamoja sub-region. Other beneficiaries reportedly used the iron sheets to construct cattle sheds, while others simply took and sold them off! You may recall that last year when we took food relief items to the people of Karamoja, it is these same people who said that we were just looking for cheap popularity and that there is no famine in Karamoja!
The most shocking part of this saga is that it is filthy-rich individuals in Government who stole relief items meant for some of the most vulnerable people in our country; people already struggling to stay alive in one of the most deprived regions on the continent.
Our brothers and sisters in Karamoja have endured years of neglect, marginalization and oppression by dictator Museveni’s regime. The last thing they needed at this time was having to endure such callousness and greed! We must all condemn it in the strongest terms possible!
We all know that the regime will protect and not take any punitive measures against this criminality. If the perpetrators have any shame left, the best thing for them to do would be to resign but of course we all know that they won’t because if they resigned, it would destabilise dictator Museveni whose only agenda at the moment is to keep in power.
I urge all of us who believe in change to think deeply about this scandal and double the efforts we have been expending towards creating a more just and equitable society where everyone has access to the resources they need to live a dignified life. Otherwise, incidents like this will keep happening until we accept our collective responsibility to put an end to the Museveni dictatorship.

Bobiwine in year 3020 a defining topic in African books of history

Reminder;
Believe it or not, by year 3020, “BOBI WINE AND PEOPLE POWER” will be a defining topic in African books of history.

Our sons and daughters will have the privilege of reading about this brilliant, fearless, and patriotic young leader who flipped the script, sacrificed his celebrity lifestyle and took it upon himself to free Uganda from a long Serving dictator, M7 who had misruled Uganda for 40 years.
It will be both an inspiring and heartbreaking sad tale for our grand sons and daughters as they will be subjected to scripts that will feature the high Corruption rate , the Impunity, Unemployment,
nepotism, Military rule, land grabbing, endless Murders of innocent Ugandans, and so much more that existed before Bobi Wine’s leadership.
But as they read between the lines, they will shed tears of joy knowing that Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, and the entire People Power movement eventually triumphed, transformed Uganda, set strong democratic precedents, and paved the way that leaders after them followed to steer the nation in the right direction, the nation our grand sons and daughters will be enjoying by that time.
By then, the People Power revolution will have swept and dismantled dictatorships across Africa, as African nations that were subjects of dictatorship gained confidence after seeing it done in Uganda. By this time, Uganda is now a developed country, the pearl of Africa again – in its true meaning, in all aspects of life social economic and political, Everything went back to normal, you cant believe we have ever had a dictator called Museveni. The days of dictatorship will feel like a distant, unimaginable past.
Statues of Bobi Wine, clad in full People Power combat gear and the iconic beret, stand tall in major cities. People come take photos, shoot films, and document history—without fear of teargas or repression. A free and democratic Uganda finally a reality.
Bwetukomawo, today is February 3, 2025.
The weight of this change rests on our shoulders, and the truth is no one is going to do it for us. If we want a free Uganda, we must rise as a generation, stand together, and take action.
This fight demands more than just hope, it requires courage, trust, discipline, and an unshakable resolve. The forces of oppression will test us as they have done countless tyms but we must stand firm, knowing that every sacrifice, every effort, brings us closer to victory.
And make no mistake, at the end of it all, we shall win. Uganda will be free, and history will remember this generation as the one that refused to kneel before tyranny.
The time is now. The struggle continues. Together, we shall overcome.
I remain,#JBMuwonge #PeoplePowerOurPower

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!
