Just in: Minister Lugoloobi remanded to Luzira

Published

on

The anti-corruption court in Kololo has declined to grant bail to embattled state Minister for Finance and Planning Hon. Amos Lugoloobi.

The Minister is the 2nd to be arraigned in the court dock after Karamoja Affairs Minister Dr. Mary Goretti Kitutu who caught the entire Easter season behind the coolers.

Hon. Lugoloobi who braved 2 cold nights in the coolers of Kiira police station prepared substantial sureties and cited advanced age and ill health as grounds for his bail approval but court judge prayed for more time to listen to either sides of prosecution and the Defence before pronouncing himself on the matter.

The judge subsequently remanded the Minister to Luzira prison till April 20th when bail application will be heard again.

Minister Baryomunsi condemned police approach in arresting Ministers which he claims is populist and devoid of respect.

“Police should not act in a manner that is populist, they should remain professional. I don’t think any minister would run away or hide if they are called at a certain police station. Other than police wanting to appear like it is working, arresting a minister on Friday evening wasn’t called for,” Baryomunsi said. “In my view, it was unfair to arrest a minister on the weekend. The minister (Lugoloobi) told me he had been at CID in the morning (Friday) and he was told to go back home they’d get back to him on Monday, only to be intercepted in the evening as he went to his constituency. In my view it was not necessary if someone is cooperating,” he added.

Bobiwine in year 3020

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.

Uganda: A Nation Held Hostage by a Military Regime

Published

on


For nearly 40 years, Uganda has been shackled under the dictatorship of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. He has worn the mask of democracy, deceiving the world, while Ugandans suffered under the weight of military oppression. But now, the mask is off, and the truth is undeniable. Uganda is not a democracy—it is a military state, ruthlessly controlled by Museveni and his brutal son, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

The Death of Democracy

In a chilling declaration, Muhoozi, Museveni’s son and head of Uganda’s military, openly announced that no civilian will ever lead Uganda after his father. “The next leader,” he said, “will be a soldier or policeman.” This outrageous statement shatters any illusions of democracy in Uganda. The regime no longer even bothers to hide its true intentions: power will remain in the hands of the military, at the expense of the people.

But while Muhoozi and his father tighten their grip on power, innocent Ugandans demanding their rights are abducted, tortured, and murdered. The National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters, led by Bobi Wine, are being dragged before military courts simply for speaking out. The real criminals—the architects of this brutal dictatorship—continue to walk free.

A Betrayal of Uganda’s Youth

Uganda’s youth—the backbone of the nation—has been betrayed. Museveni’s regime has systematically destroyed their futures, leaving millions jobless, hopeless, and silenced. Uganda’s population is overwhelmingly young, yet these young voices are seen as a threat by the regime. Instead of hope, they are met with bullets.

But it is this generation, fearless and unbreakable, that is rising up. The youth, represented by leaders like Bobi Wine, have had enough. They are taking to the streets, demanding the democracy they have been denied for decades. Museveni fears this generation because he knows they hold the power to end his reign of terror.

Economic Sabotage: The Legacy of Museveni’s Corruption

Museveni has not just robbed Uganda of its democracy—he has also stolen its future. The country’s wealth is in the hands of a corrupt few, while millions of Ugandans struggle to survive. Foreign aid, meant to improve the lives of ordinary people, is siphoned off by a political elite that cares only about maintaining its iron grip on power.

Ugandans are being starved economically, their education and healthcare systems in ruins. Meanwhile, the regime continues to thrive on corruption, lining its pockets while ordinary citizens face grinding poverty. Museveni’s Uganda is a land of broken promises and shattered dreams.

Western Hypocrisy: The Funding of Oppression

But the true betrayal of the Ugandan people doesn’t end with Museveni and his son—it extends to the international community. America and other Western nations claim to stand for democracy and human rights, yet they are complicit in this dictatorship. How? By sending billions of dollars to prop up Museveni’s military regime.

The West speaks the language of freedom, but they fund tyranny. These governments and international organizations are fully aware of the atrocities committed under Museveni, yet they continue to support him with financial aid, military equipment, and political cover. This is the democracy they are funding—a democracy in name only, held together by bloodshed and fear.

Uganda Will Not Be Silenced

The time for silence is over. The time for complacency has passed. Museveni and his son have declared war on the people of Uganda, and the world must take notice. The international community must stop funding this regime and recognize it for what it is—a dictatorship disguised as a democracy.

The Ugandan people are rising. They are demanding their rights. They are fighting for their freedom. And they will not stop until they are heard.

A Global Call to Action

To the people of Uganda: Your strength is unmatched. Your fight for freedom will not be in vain. Keep rising, keep resisting, and never give up. The world is watching, and the regime’s days are numbered.

To the international community: Enough is enough. Stop funding the oppression of Uganda. Stop supporting a regime that murders, tortures, and silences its people. You cannot preach democracy while financing dictatorship.


The Fight for Freedom Continues

Uganda will be free. Museveni’s time is up. The youth, the women, the brave citizens of Uganda—they will lead this country to the freedom it deserves. And the world must stand with them.

Join the Movement. Demand Justice. Stop Supporting Tyranny.


What You Can Do

  • Raise your voice: Speak out against the atrocities in Uganda. Use your platform to expose the truth.
  • Pressure your governments: Demand an end to international funding of Museveni’s regime. Call for sanctions against those responsible for human rights abuses.
  • Support Ugandan activists: Stand in solidarity with the brave Ugandans fighting for their freedom. Share their stories, support their cause, and amplify their voices.

Uganda’s fight for freedom is not just their fight—it’s a fight for justice, democracy, and human rights everywhere. Will you stand with Uganda, or will you stand with dictatorship?
