The recent arrest of Baganda Kingdom officials is a primitive act and should be interpreted as the final stroke on the long standing troubled marriage of convenience between Buganda and the NRM.
The NRM government is bent on destroying Buganda completely. This act is a wake up call to Buganda to review her relations with the NRM government ahead of the 2011 general elections. Baganda paid a high price during the Luwero Triangle rebellion by NRA/M purportedly to restore democracy, rule of law and usher in a fundamental change.
The NRM seems to have strayed from the laid course of the revolution. No wonder it’s giving away land to quack investors, corruption is shooting through the roof, people are arrested on fake charges etc.
The police brutality under the Inspector General Kale Kayihura who is the right handman of the President also appears deliberate to break the backbone of Ugandans who are standing up to their liberties under the constitution.
Why then should Ugandans look with scorn at Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe when our very own President is equally taking the same path just for the sake of ruling for life? The Western governments continue to be indifferent to the wrongs of the NRM government but cry louder about Mugabe.
Can’t the Commonwealth Secretariat see that having its current Chairman brutalising the opposition is shameful? Where is the moral justification from the British Foreign Office demonising Mugabe and keeping silent on President Museveni?
Ugandans and Baganda should record all the criminal acts of this government and the security agencies and forward the information to the ICC. It will be a matter of time for the indictments to be issued. The Omar Bashir’s ICC indictment is now a strong reminder to presidents misusing their powers against their people to watch out.
Using force against Buganda for merely standing up for her kingdom and land is not tenable. The belief that Baganda are cowards is a misconception. Calm waters run deeper and you only realise how deep at a point of no return.
President Yoweri Museveni yesterday vowed to stop offensive programmes on local radio stations, which he said were full of lies about him and his government.
The President’s comments come five days after three Buganda Kingdom officials, who are vocal critics of a proposed amendment to the land laws by the government, were arrested and detained on several allegations, including terrorism and inciting sectarianism.
“These radios are very stupid,” President Museveni said, while officially opening the 16th annual Source of the Nile National Agricultural and Trade Show in Jinja.
“People are talking a lot of rubbish on these radios. They are very poisonous and this is unacceptable. Do they think we fought in the bush to come here and play? We, the liberators of this country are still around. Where do they think our strength went? They are telling lies and lies are unacceptable. They will be stopped. They will stop!”
Buganda’s Minister of Information and Cabinet Affairs Charles Peter Mayiga, his deputy Medard Lubega and Ms Betty Nambooze, who heads the kingdom committee set up to publicly campaign against the proposed amendments to the Land Act, were arrested on Friday and were still in detention by press time yesterday.
The three have been regular critics of the President and the proposed land reforms, including during talk shows (ebimeeza) on Buganda Kingdom’s CBS radio station.
President Museveni said yesterday his government, which liberalised the broadcast media in 1993, expected private radio stations to explain development issues but they were broadcasting inaccurate information.
“These radios should be telling you that we have seeds, markets for our produce and educate you on projects like [the African Growth and Opportunities Act] but instead they are telling a lot of lies,” the President said. “They are now part of the problem.”
In a letter to Kabaka Ronald Mutebi last December, President Museveni accused officials in Mengo, the seat of Buganda kingdom, of “telling incredible lies” about the proposed land amendments at public rallies and through CBS radio. The President also accused CBS radio of “propagating sectarianism” and asked the Kabaka to restrain the station.
“I prefer to request Your Highness to be the one to stop the hate campaign and incitement carried out by these groups on the radio and the public rallies,” President Museveni wrote. “I would prefer not to have to act independently.”
President Museveni yesterday said that people had continued to abuse him through radio talk shows. He said: “How do you describe a man who went to the bush with 27 guns and was able to defeat an army of 60,000 soldiers stupid? Those who think I’m stupid should watch out…Uganda is no place to place to play with. If you are clever, you cannot think that.”
He said the current tension over the land debate and the recent arrests would not cause political instability in the country. “We have the peace,” President Museveni said. “Let no one lose sleep that Uganda can go back to turmoil. You know my history very well…what I say is final. Whoever wants to do something should do it legally.”
In 2004 the Broadcasting Council shut down Daily Monitor’s sister radio station, KFM, over what the government said were unfairly critical comments broadcast, while two other radio stations, have been shut down for similar reasons in recent years. Daily Monitor was also shut for a week in October 2002 over what the government said was a false story about the war in northern Uganda.
President Museveni told participants and show goers that the government would support efforts to add value to their products, through the Shs80 million allocated to every sub-county under the National Agricultural Advisory Services programme.
Mr Museveni also discouraged the habit of people sub-dividing family land soon after the head dies, saying it is better for families to pool resources and invest in a family company.
The Chairman of the National Farmers Federation, Mr Frank Tumwebaze, asked the President to help farmers by improving feeder roads across the country.
He also asked the government to raise the infrastructure of the Jinja Show Ground, among others. The exhibition, under the theme “Targeting Increasing Agricultural Production as the Engine for Economic Growth, opened on Tuesday and closes on Sunday.
“Engeri abakungu ba Kabaka gye baakwatiddwa kyeraga lwatu nti okwo kwabadde kussa mu nkola biragiro by’ozze w’ewera ku Mmengo mu ngeri y’emu ng’olubiri bwe lwalumbibwa mu 1966 ku biragiro bya Obote” Bidandi bwe yagambye mu bbaluwa gye yawandiikidde Pulezidenti.
Bidandi nga y’akulira ekibiina kya People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yasabye Pulezidenti okwegendereza obutadda mu nsobi za Obote ze yagambye nti tezaavaamu kalungi konna okuggyako okuyiwa omusaayi. Yagambye nti obutakkaanya obuliwo ne Mmengo bulina kugonjoolwa na byabufuzi so si magye.
“Toteekwa kweyambisa mmundu wadde eggye lya kibooko, ebyo bikola mu magye. Gavumenti obutakkaanya na Mmengo tekirina we kissa kitiibwa kyo nga Pulezidenti oba okufiiriza NRM obuwagizi,” bwe yagambye.
Mu byobufuzi Bidandi yawabudde Pulezidenti nti abantu b’akulembera basobola okumussa ku nninga ku nsonga zonna ezitatambula bulungi era basobola okumuvuma n’o-kumukasukira ennyaanya envundu nga tekimwetaagisa kuva mu mbeera.
Yasabye enkola ey’okukwata abantu mu ngeri ey’ekitujju ekome.
Bidandi yawandiikidde ne Katikkiro wa Buganda JB Walusimbi n’amugamba nti bo mu PPP banyolerwa wamu ne Mmengo.

been following this discussion, but i think all you guys are angry. M7, Mengo, Baganda and the rest of Uganda are all angry apart from may be me.
I am not angry because i know that every action has an equally opposing force that scientist i have forget stated. Museveni Doesnt understand that his actions will be opposed and So is Mengo and many other ugandan.
So if you havent understood what I am saying is that The Arrested Mengo ministers knew that its just a matter of time and they will be Incommunicado and if they didn't then I am sorry they are not the right people to lead a civilized nation Like Buganda.
This issue is purely tribal period. Most if not all Non Baganda support Museveni on this and or Some Baganda like the Likes of Hon Nyombi Thembo and others but with him..... the guy is a former choir master what do you expect. Others like Kasirye gwanga I have No words.
Its now that All the people who have clans and Toterms realise that the very existance of their culture and livelihood is at stake. In no time in history have Baganda ever been attacked at the core of their being. Not even the talked about 1966 crisis did, They chased landlord from his land but allowed him to move with his land tittle and it was a matter of time for him to come back and reclaim his land and thus he did in 1993.
Museveni Knows better why Obote failed and he has come to extinguish our very existence by attacking the core of our culture i.e land and the King. Our Kabaka cant be Minus land and we people who claim to be Baganda we shall never live minus land.
All in all i want to inform all Baganda and that there is no language called NRM aprt from Runyankore since most of the owners speak it but that language is for the people of Nkore. And No clan called NRM. So stay warned that you will never be like them But you will always be like Us.
If you think I am pulling your legs Ask Patrick Kiggundu the former MP of Kyotera, The guy is languishing in a wheel chair under alot of pain BUT this adopted clan NRM doesnt want to KNow! poor fellow No one feels an ounce of pitty for him and very painful to say he deserves it. and the same will be said to all others who choose to identify with the Enemy who is trying to extinguish of survival.
ALL BAGANDA, THIS ISSUE IS ABOUT US BECAUSE WE ARE BAGANDA, AND WE MUST DEVISE ALL THE MEANS TO SURVIVE.
NOTE: MUSEVENI IS ITCHING FOR A FIGHT AND HE IS VERY POWERFUL, AGAINST ALL ODD HE WILL WIN IN CASE WE CONFRONTED HIM.SO USE YOUR BRAINS NOT TO GO ON THE STREETS MBU TO DEMOSTRATE, BEING LURED TO REBELLION, YOU WILL BE CRUSED MERCILESSLY. buT WE CAN BLEED THE GUY TO DEATH, WE SHOULD STOP ATTENDING HIS FUNCTIONS, STOP BUYING ANY THING THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIS FAMILY AND ALSO ISOLATE ALL BAGANDA WHO HAVE SIDED WITH HIM.THIS IS A TRIBAL WAR GUYS LOOK AND YOU WILL SAY YOU TOLD US.
