WHO IS BEHIND THESE FIRES?



Is this a terror campaign?





There have been over 20 fires which have destroyed property and lives in Ugandan schools since the year began. Radio Katwe would like to look into what is going on because we cannot believe that the only institutions in Uganda which are careless are schools.



It is true that Ugandans rarely think twice about fires. In fact most of us go about our lives never caring so much about taking fire prevention measures. The capital city Kampala where the most precious things are has only the most rudimentary fire-brigade to speak of. So how come rampant fires have not been a way of life until just a few months ago?



The most suspicious cases are the schools of all places, that are bursting into flames almost every day. We have heard the Police talk of indisciplined children, carelessness and so on, but sincerely what has caused our children to become destructive all at once? Did children from Masaka to Moroto, Kasese to Tororo somehow organise and agree that 2008 is the year of burning things? For us we think that the national scale, timing and nature of these attacks leave no doubt that this a coordinated, targetted plan by a very powerful group that has a national reach.



New Vision on Monday wrote a good report on these fires and it said that they have been 25. On Monday two more fires in schools in Mukono and elsewhere brought the fires to 27.



The Overseer of the Intelligence agencies, General David Tinyefuza, said that the fires are the work of a rebel group, the Allied Democratic Forces also known as the ADF.



According to one analyst who knows the method of Museveni and his NRA henchmen, as soon as Tinyefuza blamed the over 25 school fires on the ADF, he gave the game away.



This analyst says that Museveni has always relied on campaigns of terror against the general population and the common man. After he orders his men to commit the atrocities, he blames them on the people whom he is fighting.



This is what Museveni did in the time of fighting Amin, in the Luwero Triangle and he had been doing it in northern Uganda since 1988, according to the insider.



Ugandans have been wondering about the fires. They are wondering how so many fires can break out at about the same time. They are also wondering why the fires should be affecting mainly schools, the most defenceless and vulnerable.



There were days in the past when Uganda did not have a vibrant private sector and that is when you could say schools would get burnt from negligence.



Today you see many schools which get a lot of school fees and the school officials make sure they care about things like fire extinguishers. People are asking why these fires should all be coming now.



The arson took a new twist on Sunday when the offices of the Red Pepper newspaper were attacked and also burnt. Red Pepper wrote after the fire that soldiers covered in hoods came to their office headquarters at Namanve and threw explosives into the compound. A generator costing over 100million shillings was destroyed.



Red Pepper is a paper which is believed to be close to the powers that be. So maybe Museveni decided that Red Pepper should also be burnt so that when he comes out and claims it is the work of ADF, Ugandans will believe it as Red Pepper is well connected to the government.



The speculation is that to make the argument of ADF more convincing, attacks against other businesses like the New Vision which is a state paper could be staged.



Some sources who know Museveni's methods and timetable say that it is only a matter of time before the offices of the Daily Monitor also experience an incident (fire, attack etc) engineered by Museveni's agents and the ADF will take all the blame.



Another target could be Uganda House, the headquarters of the Uganda People's Congress party. Before the Budo fire in April, one afternoon Radio Katwe informers say the Minister of State for Security, Amama Mbabazi, drove to Uganda House.



It was a Saturday. Mbabazi came with his bodyguards. He got out of his car and looked up at Uganda House, he looked at the floors, at the restaurant, then he drove off. The visit was all rather strange. What was he inspecting? What did he want?



It will be no big surprise if Uganda House is on the list of prominent properties to be attacked in this campaign of terror.

This is really too much:







Ekisulo ky’abayizi ekyayidde.









Abayizi ba Makerere High basimattuse omuliro



Bya Margaret Ziribaggwa



ESSOMERO lya Makerere High, Migadde lyokeddwa ekisulo ekibadde kisuza abaana 80 ne kibengeya ne kiggwawo.

Ebintu by’abayizi n’ebyessomero ebibalirirwa mu bukadde bye byatokomokedde mu muliro guno ogwatandise ku ssaawa 4.30 ez’enkya ne gwaka okumala ekiseera kya ssaawa nga nnya nnamba.



Omukulu w’essomero Joseph Kisubika ateebereza nti ekisulo kino kyayokeddwa mu bugenderevu so si masanyalaze kubanga bakuumi bonna baabaddewo ate nga naye yabadde yakavaawo n’omumyuka we omuliro ne gukoleera.



Kyokka ye akulira abayizi mu ssomero lino Stancy Ssempagama agamba nti bateebereza nti omuliro gwandibadde nga gwavudde ku masanyalaze.



“Abayizi abaabadde basoma kompyuta baalabye amasannyalaze nga gavaako ne kompyuta ne zivaako era wayiseewo akaseera katono ne babategeeza ng’omuliro bwe gwabadde gukutte ekisulo ky’abayizi abalenzi,” bwe yategeezezza.



Ate abayizi baawadde omu ku bannamawulire akabaluwa okutaabadde mannya ga muwandiisi nga kalumiriza nti bafugibwa bubi ne bawa ekyokulabirako nti abakulira essomero gye buvuddeko baabagaanyi okulaba fayinolo y’omupiira gwa Bulaaya ogwabadde wakati wa Germany ne Spain.



Kigambibwa nti waliwo abayizi abaagobwa mu ssomero lino omwezi oguwedde kyokka nga tennakakasibwa oba balina kye bamannyi ku muliro guno.



Omuduumizi wa poliisi mu Kampala n’emiriraano, Edward Ochom agambye nti

emmotoka ya poliisi ezikiriza omuliro yayanguye okutuuka ne bataasa ebintu by’abayizi aba siniya esooka ebimu.



“Poliisi yatuuse ku ssaawa nga 5.00 ng’abakola oluguudo okuva e Matugga be baabalwisizza, bwe yategeezezza. N’agamba nti ekyavuddeko omuliro guno tekinnaba kumanyika wabula nga poliisi eri mu kunoonyereza.



Ochom yasabye abakulira amasomero okwongera okubeera abegendereza n’okwekannya buli muntu ayingira n’okufuluma essomero okusobola okulwanyisa okwokya amasomero.



Omuliro gw’essomero lya Migadde gugenze okukwata ng’amasomero 25 ge gaakokebwa okuva mu mwezi gwa April omwaka guno.



Omuyambi wa Pulezidenti, Maj. Kakooza Mutale yagambye nti pulaani y’abookya amasomero ngazi bwe banaava ku masomero bagenda kutandika kwokya mayumba g’abantu n’okutta.



Wabula ye omutabaganya w’ebitongole by’ebyokwerinda Gen. Tinyefuza alumiriza nti abayeekera ba ADF be bagookya.

This is really serious and annoying..... is it time for a National Healthy and Safety Something?

Am starting to think that there is something behind the curtains that we dont know yet that is really happening in Uganda,why all these fires?and surprising enough its so far happening in schools only!

Its like they a targeting places where they can kill many people at once! That is a new form of terrorism i would say!since people a used 2 bombs as terrorist activities so they have decided to use fires which people will think are accidents but in reality this is terrorism!!!!

Ebibuuzo 7 Gavt. by’erina okuddamu ku masomero agookebwa





OKUVA mu April w’omwaka guno, amasomero 27 ge gaakookebwa abettima abatannamanyika. Erikyasembyeyo ky’ekisulo kya Makerere High School e Migadde okumpi n’e Bombo ekyayokeddwa ku Lwokuna.



Ebintu by’abayizi 80 ebyabadde mu kisulo kino byonna byatokomose, wakati mu bbula ly’ensimbi n’okuba nti ebyamaguzi byonna byalinnya ebbeeyi.



Weebuuze nti omuzadde eyaakasasula fiizi n’okugula ebyetaago by’omwana we n’asigalirawo nga talina yadde ekuba ennyonyi agenda kukola atya!



Ebintu by’omuliro guno byewuunyisa. Wiiki eno abanene mu Gavumenti bavuddeyo ne bawa ensonga ez’enjawulo eziguleese. Abamu babisiba ku bayeekera ba ADF ne LRA, abalala ne basonga ku Bamafia.



Lipoota ya poliisi gye yaakafulumya egamba nti amasomero obutaba na byuma bizikiriza muliro, okuvuganya okw’amaanyi mu masomero wamu n’abayizi bakiwagi be baleese ekyokya masomero.



Buli omu abadde akyewuunaganya Gavumenti n’evaayo n’erangirira nti abookya amasomero si bayeekera, era ne bagugumbula nnyo Gen. David Tinyefuza ne Gen. Kahinda Otafiife abaaleese ensonga eno!



Ku Lwokusatu, omubaka wa Palamenti Rose Sseninde (Mukazi-Wakiso) yaleese ekiteeso wassibwewo akakiiko akenjawulo kabuulirize era kazuule ani ayokya amasomero.



Yagambye nti bwe kiba nge tekikyasoboka kuzzaawo kitongole ki mutaseka nga ekya Wembley, waakiri akakiiko ka Palamenti akakola ku nsonga ez’omunda ke kaba kabinikibwa omulimu gw’okuzuula omutemu ono.



Ekyewuunyisa abanene mu Gavumenti, nga bakulemberwa Ndugu Ruhakana Rugunda, minisita w’ensonga ez’omunda baakiwakanyizza nnyo.



Baayambiddwaako aba NRM mu Palamenti ne bagamba nti ebitongole ebikuumaddembe birina obusobozi okuzuula omutemu ne bimukwata.



Bwe kiba nga si kyabulijjo amasomero okuggya mu kiseera ekimu, ate nga kati kisussizza mu bbanga lya myezi mukaaga lwaki Gavumenti teyagala mutemu kussibwako kakiiko akenjawulo kamunoonyerezeeko!



Waliwo ebibuuzo bingi ebyebuuzibwa ku muliro guno. Bino abooludda oluvuganya bye beeyambisa okumatiza ababawuliriza era abamu batandise okubikkiriza.



Eyali minisita w’e Mmengo Muyingo abuuza nti lwaki omuliro gusinze kwokya masomero ga mu Buganda? (nti mu bitundu ebirala busomerosomero bwe buggya).



Lwaki omuliro guzze nga waakayita ebbanga ttono nga Kabaka akubirizza abantu be okussa ensimbi mu kuzimba amasomero n’okujjumbira okuweerera abaana?



Omubaka Hussein Kyanjo (Makindye West) abuuza nti oba waliwo omunene mu Gavumenti eyasuubula ebyuma ebizikiza omuliro nga y’agezaako okutemera oluwenda bizinensi ye?



Lwaki okwokya amasomero kuzzeewo mu kiseera Abaganda we babadde beegattidde okulwanyisa etteeka ly’ettaka?



Kisoboka okuba nga waliwo ayagala okuwugula ebirowoozo byabwe boogere ku kyokya masomero kyokka?

Beti Kamya (Lubaga North) abuuza nti bwe baba nga bayeekera be bookya amasomero tulowooze nti Gavumenti ebintu bigiremye tutandike okwerabirira?



Kisoboka okuba nga abookya amasomero baagala kutiisa bazadde baleme kutwalayo baana, babatwale muga UPE gye babaddusa?



Bano beebakiikiridde abalala abeebuuza ekivuddeko amasomero okuggya.

Olw’okuba nga bangi ku Bannayuganda tebalina bwesige mu Poliisi n’obusobozi bwayo okubuuliriza n’okuzuula ensonga enkulu ng’ey’omuliro, we kyabadde kyetaagisiriza okussaawo akakiiko akenjawulo kazuule ani ayokya amasomero.



Njagala okwatulira abanene mu Poliisi, Gavumenti ne NRM nti ensonga z’okwokya amasomero bazikutte bubi.



Bwe kiba nti kwokya amasomero kugenda mu maaso nga bugolo, lwaki Gavumenti teggalawo masomero okumala wiiki nga bbiri n’esindika abalambuzi baayo okulondoola oba gonna galina obusobozi n’ebyokwerinda ebyetaagisa okukuumirayo abaana?
