Uganda Electoral Commissioner is bias

 

 

Robert Kyagulanyi, the National Unity Platform presidential candidate outsmart the marauding ambush waylay on Karuma Pakwach road planned to eliminate him on Monday November 9, 2020. The marauding forces learned later when Kyagulanyi was in Pakwach, as he was addressing the Monmouth crowd.

 

“I was only interested to see the NUP presidential party president only; we don’t bother even if the security operative used teargas to spoil his address.

Akot Mary told Oyeng Yeng News later on.

 

GULU CITY-UGANDA: Robert Kyagulanyi, the NUP presidential candidate highly placed impeccable sources mooted to Oyeng Yeng News that on Monday 9, November 2020, Robert Kyagulanyi survived the planned ambush on Karuma Pakwach road by miracle.

 

The ambush was put between Gulu Pakwach junction to Olwiyo meant to put him off as he was heading to Arua City., source disclosed.

The attempt to make verification from Paul Bukenya, the Public Relation Officer of the Uganda Electoral Commission was futile as he was attending an urgent meeting.

 

“The NUP presidential candidate Kyagulanyi it seems that the man has a powerful monitoring machine that can detect his movement as Ambassador Dr. Olara Otunu had.” It shocked the security source.

 

However, the spokesperson of Gulu 4thUPDF Division when contacted for comment says it is news to him.

“I am not aware of the said information; contact the Spokesperson of Uganda electoral Commissioner or ASWA Regional Police Spokesperson.” Major Telespher dismissed the allegation.

 

Caser Lubangakene, the Northern Uganda Regional Spokesperson when contacted for comment says he was not aware of the ambush.

 

“What you are telling me is just news to me.” Lubangakene said.

 

Lubangakene warns Uganda Police Forces and some military apparatus for master minding Uganda Constitutions and Electoral Commissioner mandates that give every presidential candidate power to campaign and address their supporters.

This follows the dreaded police tear gas in Gulu City against Robert Kyagulanyi rally in Gulu. Accusing police of shifting off the public address system during Kyagulanyi addressed.

“Can you imagine that the NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi conveys was delayed to reach Awere ground for 30 munities from Bank of Uganda to Kaunda ground a distance of one kilometer? The police who were escorting us were driving very slowly. The time was still 5.10 PM and it took us 30 munities to reach Awere ground.”

Lubangakene addressed the NUMEC journalists in Gulu says what forced him to stand for Gulu City East Parliamentary seat because most of the previous MPs who stood before him were just making business, for example when NUSSAF World Bank funding was sent to Northern Uganda, the fund was missed used by the power that be.

The fund which was meant for social empowerment during Lord resistance Army LRA, the issues of accountability was never done, the MPs from Acholi Sub Region who should have questioned why the fund was missed, before the parliament never did.

When he is elected he will make sure that those who were responsible for NUSSAF fund much vomit it.

“You Kazinda the Accountant from the Prime Minister Office is in Luzira maximum prison, for UGX 53 billion PRDP fund, but high court judges who handle Kazinda cases say the high court has lost interest in the matter. It means that the current MPs just go to parliament for their personal gain.” When you elected me, he will make sure such rots do not occur.

Other issues which he stands for are Human Rights issues, education, there will be funds for youth, says all the so called Agur includes women and men within 35 years old who never had the opportunity to study during the northern insurgency, there will be an education fund basket for them.

The issues of land, all of you know that Gulu City has curved many people with their customary land into the city, and when development comes in your area like schools, hospitals and roads, those who do not have land title will suffer.

When he is elected he will make sure that those people will have free land title under pro bono, he will get at list 25 lawyers to register their land.

There will be transparency when elected; the issues of development are purely the role of division mayors and City Mayors, but lobbying needs transparency and accountability.

Should there be an election today Ceaser Lubangakene will win the Gulu City East election.

Mary Akello, a student of Gulu High School on the sideline says Robert Kyagulanyi and Lubangakene will be voted in.

When asked if she has a voter card, she says most of the youth like her have register’s cards.

 

Verbatim of Robert Kyagulanyi presidential speech.

 

The Uganda Police Forces feared the rebirth of Arua second revolution, when the People Power president was in Arua City on Monday November 9, 2020.

 

William Komakech, Kitgum Residence District Commissioner happened to blocked Robert Kyagulanyi not to addressed his rally, in three venue that was booked for his rally, it was a blessing in disgust as Kyagulanyi got opportunity to addressed thousands of his supporters who had lined up along Kitgum streets as his convoy of motorcades was escorted by dreaded looking monster Uganda Police Forces.

 

 

I bring you revolutionary greetings wherever you are and thank you for the immense support you have offered us for the past three years amidst so many challenges!

 

I take this opportunity to announce that what we are witnessing right now is the launch of a very critical phase in our struggle to liberate ourselves from a dictatorship which has crippled our country for more than three decades!

 

 

 

A dictatorship which has strangled our economy with massive corruption, patronage, high cost of doing business, high cost of public administration, a sick healthcare system, a broken education system, etc.

For a very long time we have lamented about a government which works only for a few and excludes the majority. Today we close the book of lamentations and open the book of Acts; action that will put an end to the suffering, oppression and indignity of Ugandans.

 

Countrymen and women, I come before you not as the most experienced person, but as the most committed person, ready to lead the mission of turning a new page in the history of our country.

 

For the last 58 years, our nation has suffered so many problems, key amongst which have been dictatorships, each trying so hard to outdo its predecessors in violence, looting and plunder. We have not witnessed a peaceful transfer of power from one government to another.

 

Unfortunately, fifteen years ago, Gen. Museveni failed to resist the temptation that befalls all dictators, and removed term limits from our Constitution. Through greed, he denied our nation of an opportunity of experiencing a peaceful transition from one leader to another, from one generation to another. And three years ago, this greed caused him to act in the most shameful manner, and the last safeguard in form of age limit was removed. Museveni, like Idi Amin declared himself president for life for our country. Little did he anticipate that this generation would stop at nothing to put an end to his regime! And so today I have news for Gen. Museveni- since you have failed to control your greed and lust for power, our generation is determined to save you from yourself and stop your life presidency project.

 

The liberation and social economic transformation of our country cannot be achieved unless we first remove the obstacle, and that is Gen. Museveni who has undermined all state institutions, and instead institutionalized corruption, sectarianism and all manner of human rights violations!

 

Fellow Ugandans, I am offering myself as a candidate for the highest office in our land as a representative of all the oppressed Ugandans.

 

My background is well known to all of you follow citizens. Born to hustling parents like most of you, raised in the ghetto and fortunate to rise to the top through talent and hard work. It is this background that has enabled me to understand the struggles of common Ugandans. Thirty five years feeding off the taxpayer and living in absolute abundance, Gen. Museveni and his cronies are so detached from the common person. No wonder, they mock our people who they have impoverished, battered and suppressed.

 

That is why in this election, I am representing the weak, poor and downtrodden Ugandans. I am representing those who have been excluded by a system which only works for the few who have patrons in high places.

 

I am representing the over taxed business people; the parents who have sold their land to take their children to school but now the children cannot find jobs. I am representing the boda boda riders who are persecuted on every side by the regime.

 

I am representing those whose wives and mothers cannot afford maternal health, the business person who borrows at high rates, the local suppliers who are kicked out of government tenders because they know nobody in government.

 

I am representing the poor Ugandans who have lost land to powerful land grabbers. Yes, those who cannot get because justice under Museveni is for sale. I am representing the poor soldiers and police officers who are so oppressed, yet commanded to beat up citizens and protect the rich and mighty who continue to plunder our nation’s resources.

 

In this election, I am representing the hard working people of Busoga who have been deliberately kept poor by the NRM regime. I am representing the great people of Acholi whose land is being stolen by the regime and its operatives.

 

I am representing the people of Lango who have been deliberately marginalized and disempowered for the past three decades. I am representing the impoverished people of Karamoja who are kept under the barrel of the gun as the gold, cobalt, copper, iron ores and other rare earth elements beneath their land are stolen with reckless abandon.

I am representing the great people of Bunyoro who live in an oil rich region but to-date they have been kept in the dark on how this oil is being exploited and shared. Ladies and gentlemen, I am representing the people of Ankole who are constantly accused of being beneficiaries of the present regime, yet most of them are as poor, as excluded and as oppressed as everybody else. I am representing the people of Bugisu whose past glory has been shattered by the present regime. Their cooperatives which kept them rich and productive were destroyed by the regime. I am representing the people of Kigezi who work very hard but earn so little.

 

I am representing the people of Bukedi who have been turned into beggars in their own country. I am representing the people of Buganda whose land has been grabbed and whose rights are trampled upon daily.

 

I am representing the people of Ruwenzori who live in constant fear of a brutal regime; the butcher of their people in 2018 is still fresh in their minds. In this election, I am representing the people of Tooro, whose youth are very hardworking, yet have no land, any capital and limited opportunities. These are the people I am representing in this election.

 

The vast majority who are oppressed, yearning for freedom. I am representing journalists who cannot practice their work without harassment by the regime.

 

The health-workers who are paid peanuts for doing incredible work. Our teachers who work so hard and yet earn so little, in addition to being insulted by those who rule over us. These are the people I am representing and on whose behalf I run in this election.

 

I present myself not as a boss, but as a servant of you, the people!

 

While our detailed plan of action towards a new Uganda will be presented to you in our manifesto, allow me to state that we will run a people centered government which will focus on these areas.

 

  1. I intend to increase the pay of the security forces.

The pay of our soldiers, police and prison officers is miserable and must be improved. If I become president, I will have the privilege to know what the classified budget really does. Such a huge amount of money will be used to improve the pay of our security forces so that they can live better lives.

 

When I am president, the lowest paid soldier or police officer will earn 1 million shillings. I will improve their housing and health care. Low ranking and middle-ranking officers must be as entitled to free, quality healthcare as the high ranking officers.

 

Our government will find opportunities for the spouses of soldiers and police officers to ensure that they are each contributing to the livelihood of their families. I also intend to streamline the promotion criteria in the armed forces and this will be based on merit, not technical know who. Never again will soldiers be forced to become police officers like we see today, because they had the option of joining the police but decided to join the army. In our plan, the better option is not to recruit the army into the police but to help the police become better.

 

The children of soldiers and police officers will be entitled to free education up to university level. There is no greater sacrifice than serving one’s country in uniform and it will be our deliberate plan to ensure that our men and women in uniform live in dignity.

 

We firmly believe that if we do so, our armed forces will in turn respect the rights of all citizens. In New Uganda, there will be mutual respect between those in uniform and the ordinary citizens of Uganda.

 

If I become president, we shall introduce contract arrangements for security forces. In other countries, one can serve in the military and after an agreed time, be entitled to early retirement with benefits.

 

This is something we shall explore, and we believe it will encourage more professionals to join the armed forces. 2. In the New Uganda, there will be access to affordable quality health care for all Ugandans.

 

This will be a priority in terms of budgetary allocations, effective supervision and improved pay for our health workers. We shall implement the Abuja Declaration and ensure that we spend at least 15% of our annual budget on the health sector. We believe that a healthy population is a productive population.

 

In our government, the lowest paid worker should be paid at least 1 million shillings. In order to curb the number of mothers who die or get complications while giving birth, we shall establish a maternity ward at every sub-county in Uganda, and we shall do it.

 

  1. Education

Our government will radically transform Uganda’s education. We shall pursue a n ambitious, yet achievable policy of ensuring that all schools in Uganda are rehabilitated, adequately equipped and sufficiently staffed.

 

Where there are no schools, we shall build them. The money we use to purchase teargas trucks, and that which Gen. Museveni spends on patronage is sufficient to build so many schools. We shall ensure that our education is not only theoretical but skills based. The focus will not only be on academics, but on arts, athletics and agriculture as well.

 

  1. Employment and Job creation. Our country is grappling with high levels of unemployment and our government will focus on creating a conducive business environment with clear focus on addressing power tariffs, lending rates and elimination of extortion by enforcement agencies.

 

These efforts will be supplemented by training in vocational schools. We will have a skills training center at every sub-county in Uganda. We shall extend support to small scale industries in urban centers as well as finding markets for our products both at regional and global level. When we fix the loopholes and focus our energies, we shall be able to create more than five million jobs in our term of office.

 

  1. Agriculture. This remains the backbone of our economy even if it has not been given the due attention. Our government will zone the country and aggressively promote a cash crop and food crop for each zone. We shall revive the cooperative movement, so as to secure markets, negotiate prices and provide post-harvest technology.

 

We shall ensure access to proper inputs and promote good agricultural practices and value addition. We shall revamp coffee production and in this regard, our government will ensure that by 2025, Uganda exports 50 million bags of coffee.

 

  1. Science and Technology

Our government will focus on the promotion of Science and technology as a catalyst for economic growth and development. This will be done through allocation of funds to schools that are specifically for this purpose, establishment of innovation hubs in every sub region of Uganda among other things. Our school going children should receive world class ICT training that is skills based to enable them to compete on the global labor markets.

 

  1. Access to water and Electricity. The vast majority of Ugandans have no access to clean water. Our government will ensure that every household has access to clean water. In terms of power supply, we shall ensure that more households are connected to the power grid. However, we shall also pursue a deliberate policy of ensuring that households in rural areas have access to solar power.

 

Fellow Ugandans, there are many other things we plan to do for our nation, some of which are entailed in our manifesto. Gen. Museveni has destroyed so many dreams of Ugandans. But today we say to you, dare to dream again.

 

We can and shall transform our nation. A nation that has been reduced into a laughing stock shall once again rise to the top and be the true pearl of Africa. Nothing can defeat a people united by conviction. Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. Our story as people, power and NUP, and also my story as an individual is a story of commitment and resilience and a good example that challenges only strengthen the prepared.

 

Let’s come together under the umbrella of a new Uganda, then match forward to that new Uganda.

 

We know that Museveni prides in his record of rigging elections and that the electoral commission helps him in achieving that. Today, let me send a message to him and Mr. Byabakama, it is in your best interest not to interfere with the will of the people of Uganda. Should you be tempted to mess with Ugandans this time, the cost will be high.

 

To all Ugandans out there, we rally you to treat this not as a usual election but as a revolutionary election. The stakes are so high. The transition stares us in the face. We have entered the ring and we shall not come out. This is it. It is a battle between the past and the future.

 

The old and the new. Power is now in the hands of the people of Uganda and they can choose who to trust it with. For all those who have been waiting for the time, it is now.

Tusimbudde paka Entebe mu ntebe. This is a mission to Freedom. We are removing a dictator.
