Many Baganda at Ttabamiruka ‘08, including MP for Makindye West, Hussein Kyanjo openly cried when they viewed a 40 minute video of Betty Nambooze, narrating her experience during her recent kidnap and captivity by Mr. Museveni’s government. Nambooze’s video was projected on a giant screen during the “Sunday royal dinner”, causing a few people to lose both apatite and tempers.
Betty Nambooze is the Chairman of Kabaka Mutebi’s Central Civic Committee. In the video, Nambooze told how her car was severely damaged at the time when she was grabbed by thugs who apparently work under Major Kakooza Mutale, President Museveni’s confidant and security advisor. Many in audience were dumfounded when they heard that Nambooze’s captors left her in a locked car, deep in the lion occupied Queen Elizabeth National Park for 6 hours, in an effort to psychologically break her down. Gasps were let out when Betty spoke of being locked up in a closet size room with two other women where they has to stay standing up all the time in order to fit.
Former Buganda Katikkiro, Dan Muliika, and Rubaga North MP, Betty Kamya were among the visibly angered Baganda. One woman delegate who claimed to be a lawyer, was sobbing and wiping tears when she told this reporter, “This video is potentially credible evidence that President Museveni is engaging in crimes against humanity.”
President Museveni’s deputy minister of state for defense, Ruth Nankabirwa, was in the hall when the video was displayed. She left shortly after the video ended and without finishing her dinner, not to return. Mr. Museveni’s press secretary, Tamale Mirundi, and promoter of the Museveni 4th Term promoter, MP Kakooza of Kabula did not come to the dinner at all.
The organizers of Ttabamiruka ’08 did not tell the audience from where and how they obtained the video, which appeared to have been put together by highly professional individuals.
