~ By Johnious Tumusiime, Patriot in Uganda

It is very unfortunate that merciless devil agents continue to target extra-important national heroes like Gen. Katumba Wamala that they may succeed in their unknown evil missions. It is a sign of lack of patriotism, caused by the envy, jealous and greed which can be briefed as sin. The government and all patriotic Ugandans must work hard to convert the whole nation into true and faithful patriotic citizens.

I disagree with the common belief that the cause of such killings and/or attempts to kill important persons is politics. It is the jealous, envy and greed that is triggered by lack of patriotism, Godlessness, cowardice and ignorance in an individual that that arouses their desire to see another suffering. Killing cannot be political even if it may be committed by a politician. Politics means competition for a position but not who will die first or who will cause the other's death. It is a battle for the brain that must be fought using words and good presentation or representation but not killing. Killing is not a political game! It is a game for the unGodly, non patriotic, and ignorant stupid coward individuals.

I wish therefore to add my voice to those of my fellow compatriots to grieve the lost blood and also pray for God's comfort and special security to Gen. Katumba Wamala and your family, and the family of Haruna Kayondo, and to the whole nation.

To Gen. Katumba Wamala: May you keep strong and may you understand that God has made you survive for a reason. Keep devoted to serving your country patriotically as before and do not allow the enemy to defeat your ability. Keep alert, knowing that your enemy is angrier and may take plan B but still keep focused, living and doing as The Lord guides you.

Gen. Katumba Wamala at the scene after survival of the assassination

To The President: Gen. Katumba Wamala has survived the teeth of the crocodile but many specially important fellows did not. It is very unfortunate for the lost. My prayer is that you may use the chance of the survivor to trace and track your ghost enemy and his routes.

To The Nation: I hardly can believe that it is God's decision that innocent souls depart through assassinations. However, I know that God is fair and faithful. He will reward each one the way they deserve. Everyone should stay calm but careful, prayerful, encouraging one another and being patriotic and Godly all the time. Do not lose the hope that we shall soon reach Canaan.

MAY THE SOULS OF THE DECEASED REST IN ETERNAL PEACE

FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY

SOME PEOPLE ARE “BAYAAYE” BECAUSE IT IS THEIR LAST OPTION

Article by Johnious Tumusiime

Have you ever wondered why many youth in developing countries are “bayaaye”?! You might have ever, or maybe, you think it is the kind of life they prefer, or you think it is not your business to think about bayaaye and their life. I am one of those people that rarely take for granted anything affecting my countrymate, even though such thing may not be directly affecting me personally.

Let me in the first place give you the meaning of “bayaaye”! Bayaaye is a common term in Ugandan languages that is used to refer to “rogue people”. Bayaaye (rogue people) or Abayaaye (rogue people) is plural and its singular is Muyaaye (rogue) or Omuyaaye (a rogue) respectively. According to online dictionaries, a rogue (omuyaaye) is a mean, mischievous, bad, evil, or unprincipled person, who is often liked by people not minding his or her bad character. However, the same word, muyaaye is also commonly used to refer to refer to “hooligan” or “bad guy”. The lifestyle of omuyaaye or abayaaye is commonly referred to as kiyaaye lifestyle or buyaaye, while the acts of omuyaaye or abayaaye are commonly referred to as obuyaaye, or eby’ekiyaaye.

Uganda is one of the countries with many bayaaye, common everywhere, urban and rural but more in urban. Whereas, it is very bad, in the traditions of Uganda to be omuyaaye, and considered abnormal, many Ugandans are becoming bayaaye day and night.

I recently spent some time studying the life of bayaaye and came to understand the reason they choose to live such life. In fact, it is not anyone’s chice to be omuyaaye. The strongest reason people choose to lead the kiyaaye lifestyle is that they are poor, hopeless and worried!

Extreme poverty is the commonest characteristic among bayaaye. Well, there are some people who choose to live the kiyaaye lifestyle while they are not poor but they are the fewest, and, if well traced still, many of these start living this lifestyle while they are still young, poor and either hopeless or in hard struggles for hope, and end up getting addicted to this lifestyle.

One of the worst boosting agents of the kiyaaye lifestyle is discrimination. Discrimination, often being a result of the gap between the poor and the rich, or tribalism or religious beliefs causes hopelessness which in turn forces people, especially the youth to choose the kiyaaye lifestyle.

The other is poor upbringing of children by their family heads, which is also, on clear analysis, a result of poverty, discrimination, low education and hopelessness.

There is no way you can describe a muyaaye without the word “poverty”. Every muyaaye has, either in one’s background, history or present-day life the word “poverty”.

The government of Uganda has many times condemned obuyaaye, though the question remains, has the government done enough in preventing people from being abayaaye?

Keep following this site both on website and social media so you don’t miss the other articles coming to complement this one. In the following articles, we shall see how harmful it is to have many bayaaye in the country, why it is hard to fight obuyaaye, how best we can fight obuyaaye, how the bayaaye can be helped to overcome their challenges and become good citizens, etc.

BY JOHNIOUS TUMUSIIME

People of Kigalagi LCI, Birunuma Parish, Kyazanga Rural Sub County have had a great day with their aspiring Member of Parliament for Bukoto West Constituency, Ms. Olivia Mugabe, today on Thursday 17th June, 2020. Olivia Mugabe, one of the first women in the history of Greater Masaka to aspire for MP for constituency, a position commonly thought to be men's has clarified about her strong decision to come for this position, saying she is doing so not for power but equality.

Olivia was talking to a public that gathered at Kigalagi Trading Centre when she lectured to the people on voting responsibly and controlling their temper that is often caused by political emotions and differences in political ideologies.

"We must learn that our family, relatives and neighbours are more important to us than the politicians we love, we should therefore be careful not to be left divided by the politics which come and go!" Said Olivia Mugabe.

Responding to the rumours that she was planning to quit in fear of her fellow contenders, especially Muhammad Muyanja, the recent winner of NRM Flag bearer for the same position; Olivia Mugabe said that she has no reason to fear anyone whether male or female or because of their parties, adding that it is one of the reasons she is coming for this very position, to fight for equality.

"I am not a politician but a leader. I am a resident of Bukoto West Constituency, married and mother. I am educated with two degrees and I possess all qualities necessary to lead Bukoto West to greater heights. I totally have no reason to quit or be afraid! I am strong and I am sure, with God and with all of you, I shall win the election," said Olivia Mugabe.

She concluded requesting all members of Bukoto West Constituency to trust her by her qualities and her desire to serve them and vote her for the position of Member of Parliament for Bukoto West Constituency for the political term, 2021 - 2026.

"May you please trust me with this, or may you test me, I promise to work for you. I will lead exemplarily and work hard to promote our constituency with God being my Guide."

NRM ELECTIONS: MUTYAABA FREDERICK NARROWLY WINS MIRIMU CELL, MAKINDYE DIVISION (WAKISO)

 

Story by Isaac Ochola 

NRM Primary Elections for the councillor 3 for municipalities, division and subcounty concluded peacefully in Mirimu cell. Mutyaba Frederick vowed to be a youth and favorite by the electorate leading to his landslide victory of the incumbent Mr. Ndyamureeba Davis.

The electrol process went on well with no record of violence and unrest beyond control. Mutyaba's supporters felt excited after their candidate was declared winner with a narrow range 34 to 31 respectively. The Police Officer in charge of the cell commended the exercise as free and fair, adding it is obvious that for any result, not everyone shall be satisfied hence if felt, it is only through a lawful petition that makes it concluded. Some of the electorate when asked said the leadership of the place should be given to the youth and most able person, vise-versa the old looking leader who will not deliver future of the place. The exercise however concluded as usual with a little locking of horns over money aledged to been given by the incumbent to the electorate's agent who was also accused of using it alone, however they settled it amongst themselves.

In addition, A handful of youths helped an aged female who was aledgely brought to vote, however after the conclusion, she was left helpless to transport herself back home leading the youths to force the incumbent to take on the responsibility of taking her back wherever she was brought from.

'POLITICAL ACTIVITIES COULD BE OF GREATER RISK THAN PLACES OF WORSHIP WHEN IT COMES TO SPREAD OF COVID-19'

Editorial: 

Great thanks to the government, health workers and fellow Ugandans for the struggles and sacrifices we are making in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic

However, I remain not convinced about the government's decision to let political activities go on the way they are doing but keep silent on the proposals to reopen places of worship and schools with safety guidelines.

I want to centre my argument today on the proposal to reopen places of worship because it looks already late with schools.

The Ministry of Health has always instructed us to keep a social distance, wash our hands and wear face masks while in public. However, there is no doubt that none of these was even thought about during campaigns for NRM Primaries. During the lineup elections of NRM that were held nationwide, water and soap were provided but their impact remains questionable given the condition in which they were used and trusted as the control measure to the spread of the virus. How does washing hands prevent me from picking Corona virus from the person I am lining behind or in front of with a close distance less than a foot and without any other protective instrument? At most polling stations (including mine), many people washed their hands but all squeezed in lines, just a few with masks on and none with covered hands. Should we say COVID-19 does not spread through political events? What difference is there, regarding spread of Corona virus, between gathering for worship and gathering for politics? Is it not gathering and congesting that aids spread of the virus? And in any case, which one is easier to control, campaign events or worship events? It is not justice at all, stopping people from meeting to discuss their Godliness and at the same time encouraging them to meet and discuss their politics. We must not forget the role of religious gatherings! Domestic violence is ruining the country, children are getting engaged in sexual acts, very young girls are getting married, child labour is becoming uncontrollable, families are breaking up, people are killing one another, land conflicts are increasing and this time with worse effects, assault is everywhere and several other immoral and inhuman deeds are rising and spreading everywhere! Ask why? People lack the counselling, spiritual guidance and inspiration they always got from their spiritual leaders. There are lots of things that cannot by any means go right unless people meet and discuss their Godliness.

Almost all religious leaders have on several occasions requested for reopening of places of worship and vowed to put into practice the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health regarding safe gathering during the COVID-19 Season.

Is it not much easier to limit the congregation size and their sitting organisation than doing the same for a political campaign gathering? I don't say we must forget about the virus and reopen churches and mosques but if the ongoing political activities in Uganda are considered healthy, then all places of worship should be reopened because they are far risk-free and requisite compared to the ongoing political events. We are a country of God and we cannot look down on Godly requirements while promoting the earthly ones. That is my submission. Thank you.

Opinion: 'Scientific Campaigns and Elections' is not the Right way to go for Uganda

 "Let's focus on saving lives, not elections"

By Tumusiime Johnious, Director, Best Solutions Uganda

Regarding the prevailing arguments about the Scientific Campaigns and Elections Roadmap that was given by the Electoral Commission boss, Justice Simon Byabakama, early this week; I wish to add my voice and analysis of the matter.

Firstly, I wish to state that this system cannot at all produce leaders that are patriotic and concerned about their people - instead they will be much concerned about the media.

I was so surprised to hear a Ugandan speak of the scientific election campaigns in the Uganda of today. It sounded like somebody who has never been in Uganda was speaking.

Advert: Best Solutions Uganda

However, it would have sounded more inappropriate and totally unwise if the EC boss had announced that the campaigns and elections are to be dealt with normally during such a period when the country is still at war with the Covid-19 Pandemic. In my ears, again, it sounds stubborn if anyone says we should go on with campaigns and elections normally in such an environment because it is the period suggested by the Constitution.

I remember my Deputy Principal at Kabulasoke PTC, Ms. Nangira Catherine S. saying, "Always use common sense and apply it in all corners of life...". What is more important? Life, campaigns, elections or the law? What came for the other? Campaigns came to enhance elections yet elections came to enhance leadership, and leadership came to enhance the law which was put to enhance life. The law came because there was life but life did not come for the law. In other words, life is the master of all. We cannot use the law to destroy life and thus we cannot conduct public rally campaigns in such dangerous days to fulfill the law.

Advert: Best Solutions Uganda

We must accept as a country that we are in war with the pandemic and let us concentrate to that until we get victory. We are not other countries and we must not risk lives because other countries did.

Campaigning through television and radios is not a system to help us elect leaders of our choice - how can I choose somebody I don't know to lead me? This system cannot help us to understand our candidates, more especially those appearing on the ballot paper for the first time; yet among them might be the right candidates to go with this time. Besides, how many Ugandans have television sets in their homes? And even for those having television sets, how many people can sit to watch campaigns on television when there are other programs that have always caught their attention?

In all corners of common sense, I don't see it right to take  our attention away from the ongoing struggle and start thinking about campaigns and elections in such a period.

The Parliament should by their constitutional powers and authority help our National Constitution to recognize such periods of scourge on every matter including elections.

That is my submission.
