Kabaka Mutebi and Museveni Appear To Agree On Walusimbi

Khadafy’s International Cultural Conference, Only for Ugandans

2008-09-09T18:24:00.000-07:00

There appears to be no credible evidence that the recent so called international conference for African cultural leaders, sponsored by Libya was real. Firstly, the limited but government managed English Libyan press never reported of such a conference. Indeed, a Muganda expatriate working in Tripoli told Sekanyolya that he was surprised to hear that an international cultural conference involving Buganda was underway in Benghazi. He said, “Libya is a small place, either your conference is not going on or those people are just visiting privately.”

A team of Buganda officials, led by Prince Kassim Nakibinge Kakungulu and including Katikkiro JB Walusimbi, went to Libya on August 25, allegedly to attend an African cultural conference. Curiously, the Buganda Attorney General, Apollo Makubuya, whose portfolio is not immediately concerned with culture, was also in the delegation. Sources in Mmengo tell Sekanyolya that Buganda’s most important cultural leaders below Kabaka, the clan heads, were neither closely consulted nor involved in the trip. However, the hereditary ssaza chief of Kooki, Kamuswaga, Ssansa Kabumbuli and the Lukiiko speaker Haji Kaddu Sserunkuuma are supposed to have gone too.

A sometimes unreliable source in Museveni’s Uganda Media Center has informed Sekanyolya that President Khadafy’s “international conference for Ugandans only” was also attended by the Omukama of Bunyoro Gafabusa Iguru, Omugabe of Ankole, Barigye, Acholi Rwot, David Onen Achan, Lango’s Wini, Nyaki Odur and Teso’s Emorimor Osuban. The Omukama of Tooro, whose mother had a highly publicized close friendship with President Khadafy was not mentioned.

In March 2008, Sekanyolya reported that Katikkiro Walusimbi, who was still new in the office worked with Hajj Kagimu and Vice President Gilbert Bukenya, to bring Libya’s President Khadafy to visit Bulange (see Mmengo Radicals Throw Spanner In M7’s Genocidal Plans, He Counters With Ghadafi Visit). In mid-May 2008, at Nook Bar in Kampala, Sekanyolya heard Owek. Walusimbi describe his plans to get money from Khadafy and develop the Lubiri and Bulange Plaza.

At the time, many Baganda cultural leaders, youths and overseas were very upset that Walusimbi exposed Nnabagereka of Buganda to Khadafy, especially in the absence of her husband. However, many of the same Baganda were quieted by fake rumors that Khadafy and Museveni had fallen out. If the various cultural leaders from Bunyoro, Ankole, etc. who only survive on Museveni's handouts went with the Buganda delegation then it would be relatively obvious that Museveni, Walusimbi and Khadafy are acting in unison.

It is too early to tell how Baganda will react on finding out that the so called international conference seems to have been a ruse to conceal negotiations to lease out the Lubiri to Khadafy and Museveni, and make a lot of money. It should be noted that Owek. Apollo Makubuya was one of those who negotiated the Regional Tier deal, together with Katikkiro Ssemwogerere, John Katende and Charles Peter Mayiga.

Katikkiro Walusimbi Hates Politics, Loves Negotiating With Anti-Buganda Politicians

2008-08-17T14:59:00.000-07:00

Sekanyolya's Kampala based advisor says, "JB Walusimbi is not telling the truth, that he is just a structural engineer and has no political skills beyond the simple discussions at Nook Club. If he is indeed a mere engineer who hates politics, then why does he love to secret political negotiations with Museveni and his posse on how to revive the Regional Tier scam and force Kabaka Mutebi into agreeing to talk to Museveni? Why not just simply go to Ssabasajja, admit his now exposed unfitness for the position of Katikkiro, then ask for clemency and permission to resign?”

Talking to newsmen three weeks ago Walusimbi publicly expressed shock that his Katikkiro position involved politics. After claiming that he was forced into taking the job he even expressed regrets that he had accepted the job. This apparently most arrogant provocation of Baganda by a Katikkiro since Martin Luther Nsibirwa, came after president Museveni's government had kidnapped three Mmengo officials, Peter Mayiga, Betty Nambooze and Medard Lubega and claimed that they had committed treason, among other crimes. Katikkiro Walusimbi knew very well that the kidnapped officials had never been involved in the capital offenses that Mr. Museveni was trying to pin on them. However, instead of standing by them and challenging Government to release them or immediately take them to court, Walusimbi alone started to negotiate a "political solution", against the advice of superb lawyers at Mmengo.

Baganda Nkoba za Mbogo and other youths refused to accept what they saw as Walusimbi's show of weakness and duplicity. While the Katikkiro was busy negotiating with Museveni, Tinyefuza, Mbabazi, Grace Ssemakula, Nadduli, Sebunya, Rugunda, Kuteesa, Kayihura and Kivejinja, youths staged protests at his office, demanding that he gives them a formal command to take the battle to the streets. Walusimbi hid from them. Word that Katikkiro Walusimbi knew about the impending kidnaps and never warned Nambooze or Mayiga when he had the opportunity, further tarnished Walusimbi's image.

The worst came when evidence that our Katikkiro is financially beholden to President Museveni. Walusimbi admitted to news reporters that Museveni's state house owes his (Walusimbi's) Associated Consulting Engineers (ACE) over 1 Billion Uganda Shillings in connection with CHOGOM contracts. Since the admission, a source in Mr. Museveni's ministry of works has told Sekanyolya, "This 1 Billion is only part of the story. There is much more money and too many people involved in these mafia style deals. Engineer Walusimbi is in it too deep to ignore Museveni, Nasasira or PS Muganzi. These three can bring down the ACE syndicate in one day and ruin his life and family. Or even by simply leaking information about the people, including prominent Baganda and Banyankore who invest in ACE scams."

Sekanyola has independently confirmed that Katikkiro Walusimbi's company, where he is one of only two directors, has contracts worth millions of dollars with Bank of Uganda, Ministry of Works, State House, NSSF and other clients that are under Museveni's directly control. And at least three of the ACE mega contracts (details omitted to protect sources) are structured as quick-money syndicates involving pooling of political influence and bribe funds to guanrantee deals.

Downing a cold Bell beer in Nakulabye on August 11, 2008, our Kampala based advisor reminded Sekanyola that he warned us not to get excited over Walusimbi's appointment (see "Katikkiro Walusimbi Urged To Drop Bukenya And Start Leading " posting of January 27, 2008). He gloated, "I told you that we needed to watch Walusimbi before drawing so many conclusions. Yes, he is a friendly man generally but he is not necessarily Katikkiro material, as he has admitted himself. Think about it, would someone who is fit for that job take it knowing very well that his financial survival is 100% in Museveni's and Nasasira's control? Or, can you imagine a Katikkiro today who sincerely believes has the position involves zero politics?

"Can someone fit for the Katikkiro office so obviously ignore the over 75% of Baganda are under the age of 30 and who, together with Kabaka's subjects in the diaspora, are the key to

Buganda

's future? What kind of Katikkiro can actively undermine so many major Baganda initiatives in 2008 - Kabaka’s own Civic Education Committee led by Nambooze, the Buganda Conference in Kampala, the London Federo Conference and Ttabamiruka '08 in the

USA

? What Katikkiro secretly agrees with Bukenya to offer so called 'radical' Kabaka’s officials like Mpanga, Muliika, Ssegona and Mukubuya expense free trips to UNAA, in order to humiliate them and weaken Baganda agenda of Ttabamiruka ’08?”

Sekanyolya Moving to BugandaPost.com To Improve Reliability

2008-08-10T13:18:00.000-07:00

After doing some research and getting advice, we have requested www.Bugandapost.com to start carrying the Sekanyolya writings. There are two main reasons. First, we now need people who really know computers to help us with posting on Blogspot and it had become too expensive. Sending our writings to Buganda Post is much easier. Secondly, we think that working with Buganda Post is in line with Kabaka Mutebi’s message that Baganda doing similar tasks must work together whenever possible.

We expect Buganda Post to give us the final green light soon. So, some time soon, you will start to see a SEKANYOLA column at www.bugandapost.com. SEKANYOLYA WILL NOT BE EDITED IN ANYWAY BY THE BUGANDA POST PEOPLE. WE HAVE AGREED TO BE RESPONSIBLE SEKANYOLYA FOR ANY BAD OPINIONS OR FACTUAL MISTAKES.

Sekanyolya congratulates the publishers of www.bugandapost.com for creating a new professional news channel for publishing developments that are important to Buganda. We hope that you will stay focused and hope, some time in future, to meet you in person.

Please continue sending your messages to Sekanyolya@gmail.com.

Buganda Nationalism Causing Panic, Coalition to Blunt Its Emergence

2008-08-03T14:09:00.000-07:00

Sekanyolya’s new London advisor says that since the independence of Buganda on October 8, 1962 and of Uganda on October 9, 1962, our political history has followed the same predictable playbook:

Pick a few ambitious but gullible, publicity hungry Baganda professionals who have influence or access to Kabaka and the wider Buganda community (smart suits). The best Muganda smart suit is one with a good mix of ambition and inferiority complex.
Use the smart suits to convenience the natives of Buganda that they cannot survive without Uganda and a Ugandan president who cares about the Kabaka and his subject’s interests. Make sure to discredit any form of Buganda nationalism by calling patriotic Baganda “sectarian” while promising Buganda everything they want, if they support you.
Use the Baganda smart suits to get access to the political, military and financial weapons to topple the existing anti-Buganda president.
After a honeymoon period, where you grant Baganda a portion of what your predecessor stole from them, create a new political and legal arrangement which can, hopefully, weaken Buganda and allow you to grab even more than all other plunderers.
Continue where your predecessor stopped, with the execution of laws and regulations to weaken isolate the Kabaka, impoverish and divide Baganda – with the goal of making Buganda infeasible. Drop the smart suits as needed.

The advisor says that, “Obote I, Idi Amin and Yoweri Museveni have all successfully used this playbook to stay in power for long periods. Museveni has had a longer run than the others but, in the process, his excesses have also helped us understand the game. As a result, he has created the condition for the resurgence of Buganda nationalism which on one can stop now.”

Evidence is emerging that as the Rwandese president of Uganda starts to loose grip in Kampala, the vultures a circling again. A coalition between Banyankore, Bakiga and a few Easterners and Northerners, who are scared of Buganda’s new nationalism are already working according to the above playbook. The panic started in earnest after Katikkiro Dan Muliika successfully convinced Baganda to ignore the Regional Tier law and caused Museveni’s government abandon it. That is when anti-Buganda forces understood that a coalition was needed to contain animal that Muliika had let of the cage. It was time to return to the proven playbook.

Sekanyolya’s advisor warns Baganda that this coalition is 100% identical to Obote I, Amin or Museveni in the overall objective of subduing Buganda. Their first major event is a conference they plan to take place in London on the weekend of August 23, 2008. They have vaguely called it THE UGANDAN DIASPORA INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR DEVELOPMENT, SOLIDARITY AND DEMOCRACY. “If you know Uganda’s history and carefully examine the program and presenters at this conference, you can see the smart suits (Makubuya, Kajubi, Ssempeebwa, Ken Lukyamuzi, Lule) and the playbook holders (Mushega, Matembe, Byanyima, Bidandi, Akaki) from 10 miles away. Also the other invited British speakers and Mazrui/Mamdani are either willing pawns or have well documented histories of anti-Buganda rhetoric – none of them is a genuine friend of Buganda.”

“How can so called serious Baganda like Makubuya and Lule be oblivious to the implications of engaging in casual depate/discussion with Eli Karuhanga, a member of Museveni’s akazu (secret kitchen cabinet), in charge of state house scholarships and long-term planning?” asked the advisor. Sekanyolya’s sources in Buganda suggest that the planned presence of Eli Karuhanga, the man who publicly claims that “Baganda are political condoms” could be a sign that the organizers have tacit approval from Uganda’s Rwandese president.

Sekanyolya's advisor concludes by alerting Makubuya, Lule, Kajubi and the other Baganda involved in this seemingly innocent venture to wakeup and smell the dung. “If you badly need a microphone, go to Ttabamiruka in Kampala or New York. Baganda youth and those in the diaspora are not willing to offer our Buganda as a stepping stone for others just because you ladies and gentlemen enjoy being at the high table.”

Sad News Plus Thanks To The Kidnap Victims

2008-07-29T00:00:00.000-07:00

Dear Sekanyolya readers,

It is with great sorrow that I report some major losses and setbacks in the Sekanyolya family. First, we lost our biggest sponsor and a frequent contributors, a great and patriotic son of Buganda, who died after a long illness (May Allah rest his soul in peace). Due to that death and some serious illness in the rest of team, we had to re-organize our resources substantially, while protecting our sources.

Sekanyolya thanks all those of you who inquired and sent messages of support. We also pray for those of you made up and spread false rumors about Sekanyolya. We are still sick and find it quite difficult to write and take the materials to the web cafe for entry. However, because of what has been happening under the “leadership” of Katikkiro Walusimbi, we will do our best to keep our readers informed.

There might be a few changes in system that Sekanyolya uses, however. To get better support and save on the cost of posting things on the Internet, Sekanyolya is investigating becoming a column on an online newspaper instead of using Blogspot. We will keep you updated.

Finally, Sekanyolya sends greetings and congratulations to the “young turks” of Mmengo for the gallant fight you have put up to stop the ACE boss and his crew from giving away the store. Madam Teacher and Lubega the Clarifier, plus Peter Mayiga, “Mukulike kidnap”. But this only the beginning, since the people who “sold” you are still at Mmengo. The good news is that the only reason that Museveni made up these fake charges is because he and his agents at Mmengo no longer know what to do about your ideas and words. That is why he had to go “primitive”. Keep up the great job! We are confident that Ssabasajja Kabaka himself is very proud of your performance.

Bu yaffe!

Buganda's Future Gets More Secure As Nkoba za Mbogo Reaches Primary Schools

2008-04-21T07:54:00.000-07:00

April 2008 could well be month when, finally, the rebuilding of the Buganda nation has formally started. In this historical month the chairpersons of Baganda Nkoba za Mbogo student organizations in primary schools held their first national convention. The conference was presided over by the national President of primary school Nkoba za Mbogo organizations, 14 year old Annette Nabasiita from Buddu county. Other officials include 13 year old Juliet Nakiwala (Vice President) and 13 year old Henry Ssebuuma (Treasurer).

The conference discussed a wide range of issues but put a special emphasis on protecting Buganda land and assets against grabbing and giving Baganda children a decent education. The teenage speakers expressed disappointment about the failure of adult Baganda, including their own parents, to fight for Buganda’s things that the Uganda government stole and Museveni is giving away to foreigners.

Nkoba za Mbogo was started in the mid 1990’s by Baganda students at Makerere University, with tacit support from DP. Its alumni include Mmengo officials, Peter Mayiga and Lubega Sseggona. Over the years the organization has spread its tentacles across educational institutions of all types in Uganda. Evidence of the fire like spread of Nkoba za Mbogo is in the fact that, today, over 60 primary schools have active Nkoba za Mbogo branched and secondary schools have even many more. The DP influence has waned and the organization has turned into a truly national movement. And this could well be the biggest challenge that the Rwandese president of Uganda faces today (see “Americans Sense Genocide Symptoms in Buganda, Talk To Mmengo” of February 8, 2008 and “The Village Chief In Museveni Gets Desperate, Mmengo Advised to Keep Distance” of March 7, 2008). When Museveni opened war on Ssabasajja, over continued stealing of Buganda land, he gave the thousands of Nkoba za Mbogo soldiers a cause around which to rally the troops.

Sekanyolya’s Kampala based legal advisor is confident that Buganda’s future is quite secure, now that Baganda children have decided to reject the misguided “Twebaka ku tulo”, “Banagamba batya?” and “Fe tetulina mundu” slogans of their parents and grand parents. The learned gentleman told Sekanyolya that, “The Chinese have a saying that, ‘If you plan for one year, plant rice, if your plan for 10 years, plant trees, if you plan for 100 years, educate children.’ Most of us Baganda adults have focused on planting rice and trees to fill our stomachs. And Museveni has been busy educating Banyankore, Bakiga and Banyarwanda in how to control Baganda. It is only by the grace of God that Baganda children saw the gap and grew Nkoba za Mbogo, which is properly educating Baganda children in how to defend their nation. When you hear that a child in P7 is fighting for Buganda’s land, be assured that Apollo Makubuya, Buganda’s attorney general, was 100% correct to tell Museveni's MPs that Buganda will ultimately have the means to get back everything that has been stolen by Obote, Museveni and their collaborators.”

Museveni’s Fingerprints Seen On Rush of Murders In Buganda

2008-04-11T20:40:00.000-07:00

Shortly before Sekanyolya left the country a few weeks back a series of what appeared to be coordinated murders was taking root in Buganda. Interestingly, the apparent motive in some of these murders was not robbery or personal feuds. And one particular killing set off an alarm among some Baganda Luweero war veterans in Nakulabye who swore that it had Museveni’s fingerprints all over. In that murder, the killers cut the victim’s stomach open, pulled out the intestines and left him to die. The murder spree started shortly so called General Tinyefuza to recoil after threatening Buganda (see “Mmengo Radicals Throw Spanner In M7’s Genocidal Plans, He Counters With Ghadafi Visit“ of March 24, 2008).

After getting briefed by Europe based Luweero war veterans and ESO sources, Sekanyolya can report that there strong evidence that Tinyefuza’s threats in the Uganda parliament could have triggered the wave of unexplained murders around Kampala. The Europe based veterans explained that, “Cutting a person’s stomach open was a technique that Museveni applied widely to terrorize Baganda, especially UPC supporters. He mostly used it in Ssingo, Butambala, Busujju and a few parts of Busiro and some of the families of the victims were left so terrorized that even today they cannot talk about it. Museveni started that tactic after the war become too difficult and he (Museveni) seemed to be cornered. And we think that, with the Buganda land problem around his neck, he feels cornered again and he is automatically going back to what worked for him before.”

Sekanyolya’s source in ESO thinks that the veteran’s theory is very credible and seems to explain some interesting information that has been coming out of Museveni’s inner circles. For example, over the last several weeks, Museveni has been working hard to reassemble Luweero fighters, especially those with skills to do dirty work. For example, Salim Saleh has been contacting members of various robbery gangs that he and Wavamunno’s brother Kamya employed in the late 1980s. Tinyefunza has also been recruiting some former Kadogo’s (child soldiers) who he used to murder Acholis. Also, Kakooza Mutale and Kalangala Action Plan are now well fed and have been retrained. And even Kasirye Ggwanga, who has been surviving on a diet of sugar canes, has been offered to come back and enter ISO or do free-lance intelligence for state house.

Sekanyolya is yet to confirm if Mmengo officials have a full understanding of Museveni’s skills as a tactician and his affinity for violence and terrorism. The recent failure recognize and obvious “good policeman/bad policeman” ruse by Museveni and Ghadafi has made it more difficult to follow the logic of certain Mmengo official anymore (see “Mmengo Radicals Throw Spanner In M7’s Genocidal Plans, He Counters With Ghadafi Visit“ of March 24, 2008). Mmengo officials rushed to embrace Ghadafi and after he and Museveni faked a sudden falling-out and promoted it by having Tamale Mirundi plant fake stories in Museveni’s Bunkeddeko and the Banyankore owned Uganda Observer. Abraham Semujju Nganda of Observer got the story personally and directly from Tamale Mirundi, according to a source close to Uganda Observer.

Mmengo Radicals Throw Spanner In M7’s Genocidal Plans, He Counters With Ghadafi Visit

2008-03-24T18:51:00.000-07:00

On March 29, 2008 it will be one year since Sekanyolya quoted a Makerere student saying, “Abaganda bajja kutukolako genosaidi nga tulaba” (Genocide against Baganda could start with our eyes open.”) (See “Muguluma Ritual Murder Raises Fears of Genocide Against Baganda of March 29, 2007). Now Sekanyolya can report that the statements made by General Tinyefuza in the Uganda parliament on March 11, 2008 were a deliberate “trial ballon” to gauge the feasibility of terrorizing Baganda and shutting them up for ever (See “‘Mengo demand nonsense’ - Army MP “ in New Vision, “Amagye tegajja kukkiriza bya ttaka lya mayiro 9,000” in Bukedde and “MP names 4 generals owning miles of land” in The Monitor).

The Tinyefuza Coded Message To KAP and Balaalo

A reliable source close to the Banyarwanda community in Uganda has told Sekanyolya that, “Everything Tinyefuza said was first agreed on with Museveni’s akazu (inner circle) and even put in writing. It was both a coded message to the thousands of armed Balaalo and Kalangala Action Plan (KAP) thugs and a trial ballon to gauge Baganda's capacity to respond. What Museveni did not expect is the rapid action by the young Mmengo officials. Indeed, by Thursday night Museveni’s akazu had realized that Tinyefunza’s words had only energized Baganda and frightened the Banyankore, Banyarwanda and Bakiga in Buganda. These Mmengo boys really threw a spanner in Museveni’s genocide option.” According to the source, the man Museveni considers dangerous, Nsubuga Nsambu (Deputy Katikkiro), helped seal the deal when he publicly told Museveni that Buganda is no longer his friend.

On March 11, 2008 David Tinyefuza told Museveni’s parliament, “That clique of Mengo demanding emailo akenda (9,000 square miles), saying land in Buganda is for the Baganda alone, is rubbish and nonsense.” Tinyefuza added, “I want to sound a warning against those advocating fascism and genocide that the UPDF, in carrying out its constitutional duty, shall not tolerate fascism.” The husky Mulaalo was reading from written notes after brave Ssozi Kaddu-Mukasa, of CBS Radio fame and now Mityana MP, introduced a list of Balaalo and Musevenist who have grabbed Buganda 9,000 square miles..

Within 4 hours of Tinyefuza’s “trial ballon” the Mmengo young turks had swung into action and by Saturday Nambooze, Betty Kamya, Mpanga, Kyanjo, Makubuya, Mayiga and many others had rallied millions of Baganda to totally reject Tinyefuza’s statements and prove to Museveni that his genocide will not be a cake walk. The dynamic young turks used talk-show programs on CBS Radio, Capital Radio, KFM Radio, Simba Radio, Radio One and other to reach millions of Buganda and other nationalities and force Museveni’s genocidal akazu into retreat. Indeed, within 72 hours after he floated his trial balloon, the akazu spokesman, Tinyefuza, was on radio apologetically claiming that his statements were not to threaten Buganda but only to clarify that Baganda are not the only ones natives of the 9,000 miles.

Musevenists Expose Nnabagereka To Ghadafi

Sekanyolya can report that the Rwandese president of Uganda had another card up his sleeve, besides the Tinyefuza threats. According to a statehouse source, “For some time, Hajj Kagimu (married to a Libyan woman), Nsibambi, Bukenya, Moses Byaruhanga and certain Musevenists at Mmengo have worked on a secret deal to fleece Ghadafi of Libya under a scheme where he will provide millions of dollars for bribes and funding on Lubiri, Bulange and other Buganda projects, including compensation for tenants and squatters [read Banyarwanda] on Buganda’s 9,000 miles. While the patriotic Mmengo officials were busy pounding on Tinyefuza, Museveni’s intelligence assisted certain individuals in Buganda Government to manipulate Nnabagereka Nnaginda and Prince Kassim Kakungulu into rushing to an ‘emergency meeting’, which was nothing more than a sinister opportunity to put Nagginda and Ghadafi in the same photo and for Ghadafi to checkout the institution that he is supposed to help Museveni kill , starting with the Lubiri money."

Sekanyolya’s Kampala based legal advisor warns Baganda, here at home and overseas, to be extremely vigilant in light of the decision by Mmengo leadership to introduce Ghadafi into Buganda affairs. “Clearly, some Mmengo leaders appear to value their relationships with Bukenya, Museveni and now Ghadafi more than Buganda’s national interests. They don’t care how Ghadafi mistreated the Tooro Kingdom, including ‘using’ their queen, after building them a palace. Otherwise, how could they expose Buganda’s Nnabagereka to the same Ghadafi? Do they think that putting Ghadafi’s money in Kabaka’s Lubiri will will move Buganda forward in any way?”

The legal advisor cautions, “I partly agree with Nambooze’s statement last week that ‘Mmengo alinga baala y’Obuganda– abamu bajja besimbye naye biggwa batagala Obuganda’ (‘Mmengo is like a bar that sells Buganda patriotism – many come in with a straight walk but after a while they get intoxicated and start staggering’) However, this Ghadafi issue proves that, for a few Mmengo officials, blood money is still an effective antidote to the Obuganda Lager. Remember that some of those who ate Museveni’s money on the Regional Tier are still at Mmengo.”

Illegal Tenants On Sekanyolya's Land?

2008-03-07T19:56:00.000-08:00

Some unknown people have made it a habit to promote their causes by squatting on Sekanyolya Comments space. Whether intentional or not, these "illegal tenants" are are denying serious Sekanyolya's readers (true Baganda owners) their God given "Akeenda" on Sekanyolya.

1. To the Baganda land owners (serious Sekanyolya audience), please try to keep your comments (plots) brief and to the point on our "Akeenda".
2. To the illegal tenants, Sekanyolya will start evicting your comments promptly whenever seen on "Akeenda". Museveni's culture of illegally grabbing Baganda's property will not be tolerated.

The Village Chief In Museveni Gets Desperate, Mmengo Advised to Keep Distance

2008-03-07T15:15:00.000-08:00

Even some of the more corrupt and compromised Banyankore and Baganda Musevenists now admit that Uganda’s Rwandese president, cum-village chief, is turning desperate in the face of the growing number of patriotic Baganda youth who are not duped by his scarecrow antics. Now in the unfamiliar territory of being challenged or ignored, the consummate village chief is frantically struggling to reassert himself. Fortunately, the reality is that once he declared to steal and permanently give Baganda’s land to Banyankore, Banyarwanda and Bakiga he had taken the road to Nowhere.

A source in Museveni’s pseudo intelligence apparatus tells Sekanyolya of apprehension, and some cases panic, among many Bahima and Tutsi who have tried to counsel Museveni to take another direction on Baganda and Kabaka only to be dismissed by him. Many of these people, some in the army, came to Buganda with nothing 20 years ago and now they own huge chunks of Buganda land, shops and real-estate and are afraid to lose them if Baganda wake up. To their dismay Museveni, is showing so much hatred for Kabaka and Buganda that Baganda have no choice but to fight back. To complicate matters, the people with most access to him, his wives, Janet and Amelia, Salim Saleh, Elly Karuhanga, David Tinyefunza, Moses Byaruhanga, Hope Mwesigye, Apollo Nsibambi and Tamale Mirundi are all singing his praises. A few of them like Tinyefunza, Janet and Karuhanga even buy into his crazy proposition of a staged mini-genocide on Baganda (see “Americans Sense Genocide Symptoms in Buganda, Talk To Mmengo“).

The source narrates that, “Since the end-of-year showdown with Kabaka Mutebi, Museveni has become more obsessed with breaking Mmengo than ever and he is becoming extremely frustrated by the influence of the young turks at Mmengo. He would pay anything to buy off Lubega-Sseggona or Nambooze or Betty Kamya or Mpanga. He now knows that the old guard who ate his money can longer deliver. Late in 2007 he pumped money into Abdul Nadduli and Levi Zzimbe but they had nothing useful to deliver. He has also concluded that Nkoyooyo and Mulwaanyamuli are now spent forces and Mayiga’s is a typical ‘Sente nja kuzirya ate nkuyuwe mu kulonda’ (‘I will eat your money but refuse to vote for you at the last minute’). Efforts to get something from Katikkiro Walusimbi by spreading word that he Walusimbi depends on Museveni money also seems to have been successfully squashed by the young turks (Bukenya has been bragging to SMAC old boys that they gave Katikkiro Walusimbi a multi-million shilling CHOGOM deal last year). The fact is that the young turks have solid backing from ordinary and angry Baganda, who don't think that it is a crime for Walusimbi's company to get a CHOGOM contract.”

Sekanyolya’s Kampala based legal advisor calls Museveni a typical corrupt village chief desperate because the villagers are don’t buy his lies any more. “This man is dangerous because he is desperate. He and his fellow Basheshe will ultimately be done in by this land war he opened on Buganda. No amount of bribing will change that, because even Baganda NRM MPs like Namabidde are starting to distance themselves from his stand on Kabaka. Namabidde’s braveness challenges every Muganda to examine his behavior and attitudes and ask himself if identifying with Desperate Museveni & Group Ltd is good for his future. Namabidde’s “Let me tell you something, Mister…” to Museveni especially challenges Katikkiro Walusimbi and his team to keep their distance from Museveni and just reject his new land law. Take a leaf from Muliika and reject! Time is on Buganda’s side!”

Circus Around Muliika Trip To USA, His “Larger Than Life” Image In North America At Risk

2008-02-23T09:48:00.000-08:00

On February 18, 2008 Yoweri Museveni’s Bukedde reported that Katikkiro Dan Muliika would visit the

USA

, allegedly to teach about (“Muliika agenda mu Amerika kusomesa ku ttaka”). Since then, plots have been hatched by a sundry of opportunists to capitalize on this trip. The actors on the stage include Museveni’s ESO, anti-Ttabamiruka forces and, obviously, genuine

Buganda

nationalists. Sekanyolya’s new Washington DC advisor calls it a virtual circus, pointing out that, as usual, when circus comes to town pickpockets get to work. Muliika is reported to have arrived in Los Angeles (LA) California on Wednesday.

Sekanyolya’s DC advisor says that the people who started it all are Dennis K (a.k.a DPK) formerly of MTN Uganda, James a Los Angeles computer manager alleged to practice the Baganda religion (kusamira), Jim, ESO and brother to Museveni’s Naggenda, and Mike, a New Jersey engineer and UNAA loyalist. “My contacts in LA say that, Jim worked through unsuspecting DPK (both are taxi drivers in LA) to convince Muliika to make the trip. Then things became murky as Jim brought in Mike and unsuspecting James to wrestle Muliika from DPK.”

Then DPK broadcast an email, which Sekanyolya has seen, announcing that Museveni’s ambassador to the USA, Mulaalo Kamunanwire would come to LA to debate Muliika on Buganda land. That was the first clear sign that Museveni’s boys were actively working to snare Muliika in unfamiliar territory. According to Sekanyolya’s advisor, “Since Ttabamiruka ’07 smart Baganda know that Musevenist forces highly value microphone time at major Baganda functions (see “Ttabamiruka '07 Leaves Musevenists Confounded”). They want major Baganda figures like Kabaka, Muliika or Kyanjo to pull the crowds but give them (the Musevenists) some microphone time, to create kavuyo (confusion) and dilute the message a Muliika or Nambooze could deliver.

She continues, “Last week we heard that Mike was working with Jim to personally control Muliika’s visit to New York, Boston and DC. And that they had a secret deal with the chairman of Ggwangamujje in New York, the nondescript Joseph, to keep his Baganda organization out of Mike’s operation. But on February 21, 2007, I was a forwarded a suspicious looking email from Mike, announcing that Ggwangamujje NY/NJ was sponsoring a Muliika land seminar (it had ridiculous misspellings). When I called a contact in New Jersey, she told me that, as far as she knew, Ggwangagamujje members had not approved and, in her opinion, Mike and Joseph were using this Muliika visit to kill Ttabamiruka ’08. By the way, Mike’s Ggwangamujje flyer claims that Muliika will come with Betty Nambooze, Hussein Kyanjo, Elias Lukwago and Betty Kamya but we (Sekanyolya team) have not been able to confirm if these 4 are coming.”

Based on information available, Sekanyolya can report that there is an ESO plot to destroy the “bigger than life” images that Muliika, Kyanjo, Betty Kamya and Nambooze enjoy among North American Baganda by engaging them a brawl with Musevenists over Federo or Buganda land. The words recorded and photos taken will then be twisted to generate fake, misleading and negative stories in Museveni’s Bukedde and Aga Khan’s Monitor, which happened to Kabaka Mutebi in September 2007 (see “CBS FM Radio Censors Ttabamiruka Ad That Defends Kabaka”).

Muliika and team could take a lesson from Ttabamiruka ’07, the first major Baganda event to be 100% Museveni-free since 1986. ESO and Museveni’s state house had a similar plan for Kabaka and Mmengo but it was ruthlessly crashed when Musevenists, even Kintu Musoke, were denied the microphone 100%. That is why, this time, Kalemba and team are working through Mike and Joseph to control Muliika’s visit and also kill Ttabamiruka ’08. Indeed, Sekanyolya has seen a threatening email from chief Matovu where he warns New York Baganda who were planning a Ttabamiruka ’08 meeting that Ggwangamujje would not legally sanction it.

Americans Sense Genocide Symptoms in Buganda, Talk To Mmengo

2008-02-08T07:15:00.000-08:00

Ssekanyolya’s sources in Mmengo confirm reports in the Banyankore owned Uganda Observer newspaper that USA Embassy officials had talks with Buganda Government ministers regarding Museveni’s attempts to grab

Buganda

land (see “NO DEAL”). According to the sources, the Americans, the writing is on the wall that something even worse than

Kenya

’s post-election violence may be coming

Uganda

’s way.

The decision by the Americans to go to Bulange and talk to Mmengo comes in the wake of signs that Uganda is on track to experience sectarian violence that could make Kenya’s so called genocide look like a stroll in the park. The first and most obvious sign is that Museveni has pushed Baganda against the wall, with his single minded determination to destroy the Buganda nation. He has used the few Baganda he owns, like Nsibambi, Ssekandi and Bukenya to enable his plans. Thousands of Baganda have been displaced and their sacred burial grounds (ebijja) bulldozed. Baganda youths all over Kampala now publicly express solidarity with Kenya’s ODM of Odinga and openly warn Banyankore and their supporters to count their days.

The second sign is that other nationalities in Uganda, led by the Acholis, have sensed that the now much younger and less cowardly Buganda population can be a much more formidable armed enemy than what the apologetic Mmengo leadership and Baganda MPs portray. As a result, dual “you are with us (Buganda)” vs. “you are with our enemy (Museveni)” alliances are slowly taking root. Details are sketchy but the word on Ganda Street is that the Acholi, Karamajong, Iteso, Langi and Basoga are now on Buganda’s side (about 50% of Uganda’s population). And Banyankore, Banyarwanda, Bakiga and Banyoro are firmly on Museveni and Nsibambi’s side (about 30% of Uganda’s population).

The third sign, which would make Uganda’s crisis much bigger than Kenya’s, is that Uganda, especially Buganda, is awash with illegal guns. Thanks to the constant wars and military coups since 1966, and Museveni’s 22 years of high-end corruption, Uganda has one of the largest stocks of illegal guns in sub-Saharan Africa. This is complicated by the fact that over 100,000 Baganda have some (and dangerous) skills in gun handling due to Museveni’s 20 year old “Muchakamuchaka” quasi-military training programs. These Baganda, mostly below 40 years, are much more likely to take risks with fire arms than previous generations.

The fourth sign is that neither the Uganda Police nor the UPDF (army) is professional enough to remain under a single command in a crisis like that in Kenya. Both forces are controlled by Banyankore and Banyarwanda military personnel at the top, while the rank and file are from nationalities that are emerging to be “on Buganda’s side”.

Then there is the Special Police Constables (SPC), thousands of army personnel who have been given police uniforms and deployed in Buganda, especially around Kampala, ostensibly to intimidate Baganda. These “undisciplined army men” have killed several Baganda over girlfriends and CD-players alike. It is this type of undisciplined force that could, in a single incident, ignite the fuse that will let hell break loose in Uganda.

Finally, there are signs that the Rwandese president of Uganda is willing to gamble and stage some form of genocide in Buganda. A Muganda source in Museveni’s intelligence apparatus tells Sekanyolya, “We hear that Museveni wants to deal Buganda the final blow through some type of genocide, where he would kill Kabaka, most princes and few thousands of Baganda under the pretext that he is trying to stop them from committing genocide. His estimation is that Baganda would be so terrorized that they would never recover.” According to the source, the Balaalo who are flooding into Buganda now are first trained in the use of an AK47. He adds, “Museveni’s government has over the years settled thousands of Basheshe all over Buganda by clandestinely giving them cash to buy land. There is now evidence that Tinyefunza and Nyakairima running a rapid militia training program for these Buganda based Basheshe in Buwekula (Buganda), Kyenjojo (Tooro) and on the shores of lake Victoria in Gomba/Buddu (Buganda). Some of these youths have been arrested as suspected terrorist while on the way to training camps. But Kyanda, Tinyefunza and Kaihura immediately release them and assist them to continue. If you ask me I would that that these are Banyankore militias being trained to deal with Baganda villagers.”

It is not clear which of the above signs might have prompted the Americans to sense that Uganda is steadily sliding towards genocide and go to Bulange. What is clear is that Mmengo, which has all along been timid about looking Museveni’s financiers in eye, since Dan Muliika was fired, now have no alibi for fearing Museveni so much.

Sekanyolya Gets Proper American Ears and Eyes

2008-02-06T01:17:00.000-08:00

Sekanyolya is very happy to inform his readers that he now has a volunteer advisor based in Washington DC. He has a solid knowledge of the American society, the various Ggwangamujjes and the Ugandan community in America. The first assignment for Sekanyolya’s advisor on America is to help us understand the people who, without provocation and out of personal interests, work to frustrate our initiatives like Ggwangamujje, Federo, Ttabamiruka, and even business/development projects at home.

Nkoyooyo Abandons Lubiri Redevelopment, His Kenyan Deputy Starts Evicting Baganda From Kabaka’s Land

2008-02-05T02:33:00.000-08:00

The January 30, 2008 issue of Museveni’s Bukedde newspaper reported that retired bishop and Regional Tier champion Livingstone Mpalanyi Nkoyoyo had abandoned his campaign to bring Indian dukawalas and Balaalo pretend-investors into Kabaka’s Lubiri (see ‘Ssente eziyooyoota Olubiri zitubuze’). Museveni’s Luganda mouthpiece quoted Nkoyoyo as saying that the membership of his Lubiri Development Committee had dwindled from 16 to 5. The unanswered question is how Nkoyooyo and his foreign advisors (see “Nkoyooyo In Tactical Withdraw On Lubiri, Seeks Input From Baganda”) would refund money that he had been given by Museveni’s fake investors who were intent on messing up the Lubiri.

A reliable sources inside Mmengo now tells Sekanyolya that the decision by Mmengo to evict many families from Kabaka’s land in Kigo might be connected to the collapsed Lubiri deal. The eviction was reported by Museveni’e New Vision (“200 families face eviction from Kabaka’s land”). The source says, “Some of us who have watched Mmengo deals for a while believe that the decision by the Buganda Land Board to evict more than 200 families from Kigo and, purportedly, lease the land to an unnamed investor is connected to the Lubiri redevelopment deal. Why hide the investor’s name when everyone in Bulange knows that it is Edward Nsubuga a member of Nkoyooyo’s Lubiri Development Committee? We think that once the Kigo land is cleared it will likely be used to pass money under the table through dubious plot sales. So, watch for attempts to subdivide!”

Sekanyolya’s source explains that, Kenyan Edward Mudigos Nsubuga has been in perpetual financial problems with his Ranch on The Lake for more than 10 years. And he has been rescued from foreclosure by various money launderers. “This man has no clean money to lease a huge piece of land like and evict Baganda. That is why mafia money is suspected at this time. If that is not the case, then why doesn’t Mmengo come clean and tell Baganda who the investor is and other details so that Kabaka’s name may not be soiled by Museveni’s newspapers. Surely, it looks bad for Kabaka to be reported as evicting poor Baganda at a time when he is instructing his subjects to fight for against the occupation. Unfortunately the Mmengo mafia who, it appears, Katikkiro Walusimbi is leaving alone like Mulwaanyamuli did, don’t care about Kabaka’s image.”

Sekanyolya’s Mmengo source says that in Buganda Government are anxiously waiting to see if Katikkiro Walusimbi, who has not history of corruption at Mmengo, will step out of his “nice guy” mode and stop these types of corrupt activities. But many are also concerned about J B Walusimbi’s closeness to Musevenist Bukenya and show-off artist Charles Peter Mayiga, worshippers of the Rwandese president of Uganda. There is a real fear that J B does not have a full appreciation of the fact that Museveni has nothing to offer Buganda anymore, because he is surely going.

Muganda Soldier Becomes UNAA President, Musevenists Fight Ttabamiruka ‘08 From Inside

2008-01-28T07:34:00.000-08:00

Sekanyolya has learnt that former president of the Uganda North American Association (UNAA), Abdul Kimbugwe has been tasked, with advising Museveni’s team on North American issues, especially the UNAA convention and Baganda Ttabamiruka. According to Sekanyolya’s highly reliable sources, Kimbugwe, who claims to be a Muganda prince, is expected to help Museveni to simultaneously regain full control of the UNAA annual conference and kill Ttabamiruka ‘08. His cover is a job in the Ministry of Finance, probably in Uganda Revenue Authority. In a related development, information reaching Sekanyolya from Boston, USA indicates that UNAA Baganda, Basoga and Bagisu in the New York area are working feverishly to block Ttabamiruka ’08.

Kimbugwe returned to Uganda recently from Boston, where he worked as a stationary shop manager. In September 2007, Kimbugwe and one Moses Wilson were the NRM candidates for the position of UNAA president. They were both defeated by a Captain Frank Musisi of the US Army, and a native of Ssese county. The loss came on the same weekend that Museveni suffered a severe defeat at Ttabamiruka ’07, when his team of about 15 spies and pseudo delegates failed to disrupt the Baganda conference (see “Ttabamiruka '07 Leaves Musevenists Confounded”)

Sources in Museveni’s state house tell Sekanyolya that Uganda’s Rwandese president and his so called strategists were shocked when Musisi wrote a public letter to Museveni, denouncing the latter for his blatant attempts to threaten Kabaka over Buganda land. They went as far as censoring the version that appeared in the Aga Khan’s Monitor newspaper (see “Aga Khan Joins Museveni’s Buganda Land Brigade, Censors Tough Open Letter from UNAA President To Museveni”). A decision was made to increase the investment in controlling UNAA and killing Ttabamiruka ’08, with Kimbugwe as the key technical advisor.

Sekanyolya can report that one Moses Kalemba (probably a Muganda), who was sponsored by the NRM for UNAA vice president and won, has been has been instructed to blunt the Musisi factor in UNAA. He is to be given adequate budget to influence the UNAA board to cut Musisi down to size. Indeed, Sekanyolya has been told that Kalemba and the UNAA board have already profusely apologized to Museveni for Musisi’s letter and promised to stop his “pro-Buganda rhetoric”. The UNAA board also held a meeting without Musisi, denounced his letter and planted the minutes on the various Internet discussion groups. Kalemba has also been identified as a possible channel of Museveni funds for UNAA Orlando and against Ttabamiruka ’08 later in the year.

In another development, Sekanyolya can report that the campaign to kill or subvert Ttabamiruka ’08, if there is an effort to organize one, is in full gear. Sekanyolya’s sources in Washington DC say, “In September 2007 our enemies proposed to move Ttabamiruka to London or Boston, to create the right environment for infiltration and control. That was abandoned after learning that most Baganda in London and Boston preferred that Ttabamiruka remain in New York.” Apparently, according to the source, “In late 2007 an understanding seems to have been reached by certain individuals in UNAA, Ggwangamujje NY/NJ, Ggwangamujje DC and Mmengo to fight Ttabamiruka ’08. Some of the people actively fighting Ttabamiruka ’08 are so called senior Baganda in their areas, including Kabaka’s representatives.”

In early January Sekanyolya sent an email to the leaders of Ggwangamujje NY/NJ, shown at www.ggwangamujje.com and www.ttabamiruka.com, to warn them that some of their members are anti-Ttabamiruka ’08 and requested them to respond. Indeed, one New York based Muganda who is well known to Sekanyolya and visited Kampala several weeks ago had appeared to be subtly bad-mouthing Ttabamiruka in the same manner that Kabaka’s representative Kalema Musoke did in 2007. Curiously, the Gwangamujje leaders have not responded to Sekanyolya’s email at all.

In the meantime, Sekanyolya has learnt from a source in Mmengo that Katikkiro J B Walusimbi is yet to receive a congratulatory message from the chairman of Ggwangamujje NY/NJ. Katikkiro Ssendaula had a tenuous relationship with some New York Baganda because he relied on advice from UNAA stalwarts Fred Kalema Musoke and Abudu Senkayi to misinform Kabaka Mutebi that Ttabamiruka ’07 was against him (Kabaka). It is not clear if Ggwangamujje’s decision to “ignore” Walusimbi for now has any real significance but it concerns some Baganda who view their USA brothers and sisters as a source of inspiration in Buganda’s fight against the occupation.

Katikkiro Walusimbi Urged To Drop Bukenya And Start Leading

2008-01-27T11:39:00.000-08:00

The word on Ganda Street is that, based on first impressions, Katikkiro J B Walusimbi needs to change gears fast if he is to allay Baganda’s fears that he might too politically naïve to deal with the extermination war that Museveni is waging against Buganda. One Makerere Nkoba za Mbogo student echoed the feelings of most in Sekanyolya’s favorite Nakulabye joint when he said, “The problem with Walusimbi is that he does not understand that images matter. It was a disgrace that, he chose to announce his new plans for Buganda in the company of Gilbert Bukenya, a Museveni boot licker. Bukenya represents the most negative things about Baganda and has no use for us 80% of Baganda who are younger than 30 years, poor, unemployed, being chased off their land, and helpless.”

Sekanyolya’s Kampala legal consultant, who is a fixture in the Nakulabye joint, went as far as accusing Sekanyolya of misleading Baganda that Walusimbi will not disappoint them as Katikkiro (See “Kabaka Appoints Highly Credible Muganda Katikkiro and Brings Muliika Back to Mmengo”. He said, “I know J B well but we must wait before we can say whether he has the guts and strategic skills to match even 50% of Muliika. The only major things that Walusimbi has done so far is say that he wants Baganda to stop talking and start working but he also wants to negotiate with Museveni. Is he trying to tell Baganda that he is the only one allowed to talk – with Bukenya and Museveni – the way Katende, Mulwaanyamuli, Mayiga and Makubuya did? If I could, I would urge J B to shift gears away from Mmengo’s old focus on Museveni and his men. If he wants Baganda to work then he must first assure them that he is a solid leader capable of resisting Museveni’s conspiracies. But he cannot do that when his favorite hobby is hanging out with Museveni’s Bukenya, schoolmate and fellow Catholic or not.”

Indians Start Grabbing Buganda Land, Make Baganda Refugees In Their Homeland

2008-01-20T10:42:00.000-08:00

Since around 1992 the Indian community in Buganda has quietly but actively collaborated with the Rwandese president of Uganda and his fell Banyarwanda, Banyankore and Bakiga in abusing the goodwill of the people of Buganda. Now, they have openly opened war on

Buganda

by joining Museveni’s people in the grabbing of

Buganda

land and turning Baganda into internal refugees. Museveni’s own Bukedde Ku Sande reports that that Shumuk Investments has bought 3 villages in Bulera, Ssingo county and ordered the residents to leave immediately (see OMUYINDI owa kkampuni ya Shumuk Investments aguze ebyalo bisatu n’alagira abatuuze abasoba mu 300 baamuke ettaka lye akolereko ebibye.) 300 people on the villages of Kigesera, Kibibi and Lusaana have been illegally evicted even under Museveni’s Land Act of 1998 but the Government has done nothing about it. They have lost their homes, small farms and sacred burial grounds (ebijja). Shumuk Investments is owned by one Mukesh Shukla of Shumuk Industries, Kyambogo, along with several influential Balaalo.

Since the early 1990’s Sudhir Ruparellia, Karim Hirji, Mukesh Shukla, Rajni Karia, Ketan Morjaria, Kanathan and many other Indian’s have covertly collaborated with Balaalo in their skims to plunder Congo and Uganda and to launder millions into investments in companies such as Petro, Meera, Orient Bank, Crane Bank, Munyonyo Resort, Golf Course Properties, Kabira Club, Shumuk Company, and many others. However, Indians in Buganda have been careful not to openly identify with Museveni’s plunder of Buganda’s land. However, under Balaalo pressure they have quietly discriminated against Baganda in employment, environmental degradation and other areas but maintained a degree of respect for the Kabaka and Baganda on matters that are crucial the Buganda’s identity – land, culture and Federo.

In the meantime, Banyankore, Banyarwanda and Bakiga have over the last few years turned thousands of Baganda into internal refugees by buying huge chunks of land in Bugerere, Ssingo, Kyaggwe and other Buganda counties and immediately chasing the residents off. This land grabbing is part of Museveni’s long term plan to destroy Buganda and turn Baganda into a manual labor pool for Banyankore and Banyarwanda in Buganda.

Sekanyolya’s Kampala based political consultant was not surprised to see Indians starting to join the Buganda land grabbing bonanza. According to him, “Indians are joining the looting of Buganda because they sincerely and stupidly believe that Buganda is gone, never to return. Now, Mmengo must explain to us why in the midst of attacks from Banyarwanda, Bakiga, Banyarwanda and now Indians they still keep a Rwandese spy as Deputy Speaker of Lukiiko and request Kabaka to appoint Indians at Mmengo. I hope Mmengo already knows that Museveni’s state house is behind the recent acceleration of land evictions, now joined by Indians, to force them (Mmengo) into a panicky reaction. It is time for Katikkiro Walusimbi to tell the whole Indian community, through Rajni Tailor and Naren Mehta, that Baganda will hold all of them responsible for blatantly anti-Buganda actions by their members. What Buganda needs now is to be respected or feared – we cannot stop people, including Indians, from hating us.”

He continues, “When Idi Amin expelled Indians many of us wept for them because people like Visram, Allibai and Walji were true friends of Buganda but now most Baganda would celebrate when Museveni’s Indians leave. Many of Museveni’s Indians like Sudhir are mercenaries who are committed to help Museveni in destroying Buganda. Buganda has no real friends among the Indians because even Rajni Tailor tells Musevenist Indians about Buganda secrets during Indian Association meetings and becomes a national security risk for Buganda. Now they have joined the land grabbing.”

Apollo Nsibambi Challenges Kabaka Mutebi On Buganda Land

2008-01-14T01:38:00.000-08:00

Kabaka Mutebi has, on multiple occasions in December 2007, publicly communicated that the proposed amendments to the unfair Uganda Land Act of 1998 must be rejected by Buganda. Now, wise man, Apollo Nsibambi, Yoweri Museveni’s prime minister of Uganda has formed a team that will organize seminars to convince Baganda that their Kabaka is wrong. According the Aga Khan’s Monitor newspaper, the group that will make history by challenging Kabaka, the Ssabataka, will be led by Musevenists James Kinobe and Rose Namayanja “Land reforms: Buganda M Ps, ministers to meet on tomorrow”. Sekanyolya can report that, Namayanja is the same woman that then Katikkiro Ssendaula praised at Ttabamiruka ’07 as a fighter for Buganda’s interests.

A senior Muganda UPDF officer has told Sekanyolya that, “We have been hearing about Museveni’s plan to flood Buganda with many armed Balaalo and other foreigners so that, by 2011, if Baganda try any violence, they could be slaughtered and subdued and he would then claim that they attempted genocide against the Hima/Tutsi. We Baganda in the UPDF would be massacred first, and maybe some northerners. We just didn’t know how to deal with it but with the Kenya killings and the way ordinary Baganda have reacted, we think that we need to do something to be ready.” Concerns of the UPDF officer are validated by what Sekanyolya has observed on Ganda Street. Thousands of frustrated Baganda are captivated by what has happened in Kenya and, in places like Kiyembe, Nakulabye, Natete, Mukono and Mityana, which Sekanyolya visited, conversations are dominated by how the tactics from Kenya can be improved on here, where the army will fall apart and Banyankore are heavily armed.

The combination of Mmengo’s December 29, 2007 letter to Museveni letter on land and the election violence in Kenya has left Yoweri Museveni without any major option for dealing with Buganda. His usual threats of violence or actual violence are not options at this time. It appears that for now, the Rwandese President of Uganda has decided to focus on his Buganda Land Brigade (BLB) (See “Museveni Ready To Grab Buganda’s 9,000 Square Miles By “Returning” It To Mmengo”). But even there, despite efforts by Nsibambi (see “Nsibambi calls for calm amid row over Land Act” in Museveni’s New Vision), things are getting tougher because the more informed Musevenist on the BLB are playing dead. For example Baganda like Semakula Kiwanuka, Ian Kyeyune, Kibirige Sebunya and Sekandi are supposed to be key on the BLB. However, they have become invisible since Kabaka Mutebi emphatically instructed his subjects to fight the new law. Omara Atubo (Langi) and even pure-breed lumpens like state house’s David Mafabi have been left to do the heavy lifting.

It remains to be seen what Bukenya who, ironically, still sends tips to Mmengo on how to “deal with the man”, will act going forward. According to Sekanyolya’s source in indecisive Bukenya’s camp, his situation is complicated by the fact that Archbishop of Kizito Lwanga, continues to publicly tell Kabaka to negotiate with Museveni. And Kateregga Musaazi is also planting fake stories in Museveni’s Bukedde arguing Kabaka to negotiate. On the other hand, Sekanyolya’s Kampala based legal consultant says that, “Apollo Nsibambi is totally committed to Museveni. The former ‘Professor Federo’ is willing to go head to head with Kabaka Mutebi, on Museveni’s behalf. It is only economics, ignorance and sheer inferiority complexes that are getting Kinobe and Namayanja to follow Nsibambi in challenging the Ssabataka. But Buganda must still hold them responsible for their treasonous actions.”

Museveni Makes A Tactical Withdraw, Seeks Bunyoro’s Help To Break Mmengo

2008-01-11T10:11:00.000-08:00

There is no doubt, even among the Banyankore and Bakiga community in Kampala, that the Rwandese president of Uganda suffered a knock down from Baganda the last time he threatened the Kingdom regarding Buganda land. In all his dreams, the Rwandese president of Uganda never imagined that the same Mmengo that he has controlled for more than 15 years through John Katende, Joseph Ssemwogerere, Ismael Kabanda, Omutaka Mbaziira, Omutaka Grace Ssemakula, Emmanuel Sendawula and others, could “check” him by publicizing his uncouth Christmas-time letter to Kabaka Mutebi.

One of Sekanyolya’s best sources around Museveni says that the Rwandese president of Uganda is “making a tactical withdraw to try another flank, Bunyoro.” Apparently, he has made two major decisions. “First, the Buganda Land Brigade (BLB) program will be strengthened both at the Persuaders and Hooligans levels (see “Museveni Ready To Grab Buganda’s 9,000 Square Miles By “Returning” It To Mmengo”). People like Nsibambi will increase their gentle talk to Baganda while vagrants like Kasirye Ggwanga, Kakooza Mutale and Semakula Kiwanuka will continue with their terroristic threats. Secondly, Bunyoro will be promised major deals on oil income and the possibility of getting back Ssingo and Buruli counties from Buganda. In exchange, Bunyoro is supposed to spit anti-Buganda fire!” Sekanyolya’s source warns that if Katikkiro Walusimbi makes negotiating with Museveni the cornerstone of his administration, he will fail miserably because, “Museveni’s agenda is to remove Buganda from the face of the earth; anything he offers will only be temporary.”

In 1995, Yoweri Museveni, with the collaboration of Jaberi Bidandi Ssali (Nkima) and then Ssabalangira Mulondo (Mulangira), shoved Decentralization down Buganda’s throat. Mmengo had no power to resist as Museveni engaged in the massive bribery in Buganda by dishing out fake village level powers to peasants who became LC Chairmen, Secretaries for Defence (given a couple of AK47 guns), Secretaries for Women, etc.

In 1998, on Katikkiro Ssemwogerere’s watch, Museveni rammed the anti-Buganda Land Act through his parliament. Mmengo was still too weak and compromised to do more than holding “kukungubaga” (mourning) prayers. And Baganda did not understand the long-term implications of the dreadful Land Act, which, among other things, sets the maximum annual land rent in Buganda at 1,000 Shilling (less that $1) – whatever the size. Museveni was conning Baganda into selling their land, in the mistaken belief that they and their relatives could still stay on it for a mere $1 per year. Between 1999 and 2005 the percentage of Buganda land controlled by Baganda plummeted from about 7,500 square miles to 4,000 due to the 1998 Land Act. The land sales reached fever pitch in 2002 when, after the 9/11 2001 attack in New York, Buganda land became the investment of choice for Banyankore and Bakiga laundering Congo timber and diamond money. Besides Buganda land, Balaalo also went on a shopping spree of Mmengo officials and Bataka (clan leaders), making treason, corruption, theft all vices of all manner the norm in Bulange. Indeed a member of the Rwandese intelligence, Higiro Semajege, ended up becoming the deputy speaker of the Buganda Lukiiko.

Around 2006, however, the Balaalo land grab was partly checked as the money from Congo looting started to dry up and Baganda in the Diaspora once again became major buyers of Buganda land.

All along, Banyankore who bought land have been evicting and bulldozing bibanja (plot) owners across Buganda without the government lifting a finger. However, once Museveni understood that Diaspora Baganda were again buying more land than non-Baganda, he decided to activate the next stage of his plan to erase Buganda. And that is, to flood Baganda owned land with thousands of Balaalo from Uganda, Rwanda, Congo and Tanzania; then amend the 1998 Land Act so that they could never be evicted. Thanks to people like Muliika, Lule, Kyanjo, Nambooze, Ssegona, Betty Kamya, Mpanga and Lukwago, this time Mmengo has the capacity to resist. And Museveni, used to pushing around people like Mulwaanyamuli, Katende and Mayiga has trouble coping. But Baganda must be vigilant because some of the dead bodies that Dan Muliika left on the table still need burying (“Mmengo Struggles With The "Dead Bodies" That Muliika Left on Table” posting of April 2, 2006.)

Kabaka Appoints Highly Credible Muganda Katikkiro and Brings Muliika Back to Mmengo

2008-01-03T09:44:00.000-08:00

Baganda who do not know the man that Kabaka has appointed new Katikkiro should rest assured that they will not be disappointed. John Baptist (J B) Walusimbi was born in 1944 to Alubereti Kaweesa of Bumera in Busiro county (mother’s name not available). He is married (wife’s name not available) and has 6 children. He belongs to the Ffumbe clan, Magunda ssiga. He is an independent professional Engineer who owns one of the most established Engineering consulting firms in

Buganda

. He has served in several capacities at Mmengo, starting way back when he, Apollo Nsibambi, and others were members of the Council of Elders organizing to fight for “ebyaffe”.

While Nsibambi run off to Museveni with Buganda secrets and assisted him to deny Baganda Federo and grab their land, Walusimbi served as the Muwanika (Treasury Chief) under Ssemwogerere. According to Sekanyolya’s Bulange sources, J B received no salary and, frequently, spent his own money on Kingdom business. Despite serving as Muwanika for many years, it is an open secret at Mmengo that John Katende, Kaaya Kavuma and Mulyaanyamuli Ssemwogerere never included JB in sensitive financial meetings, especially concerning CBS, simply because he was “too straight”. Sekanyolya can report that the Kabaka first offered the Katikkiro job to Walusimbi in April/May but the technocrat has been bidding his time, waiting for the power of the thieving crew of Kaaya Kavuma, Zzimbe, Mayiga, Nkoyooyo and their partners to subside (See “Kasekende and Walusimbi Mentioned for Katikkiro – Museven’s Bukedde” posting of August 5, 2007).

Walusimbi and other patriotic Baganda should be happy because Kabaka also brought back Dan Muliika as a special advisor to Mmengo. Muliika is the man credited for saving Buganda after Mulwaanyamuli, Katende, Mayiga and Makubuya had shamelessly sold it to Museveni for trinkets. And he did it by instituting his famous doctrine of, “We only demand but never negotiate for what is ours”, which remains the rallying cry for Baganda today, especially the youth and those in the diaspora. Mutebi also came through when he kept Ssendaula, who recently overcame his fear of Museveni but, for insurance, brought in the no-nonsense Yusuf Nsubuga Nsambu. The pair will serve as deputies to Walusimbi. If you like Muliika or Kyanjo then be prepared to like Nsambu. This man takes no prisoners when he is fighting for Buganda rights.

In his reaction to the appointments, Sekanyolya’s Kampala based consultant said that, “Mutebi did great. Walusimbi is a fantastic choice. It is a shame that Mayiga was appointed Kingdom spokesperson and Museveni’s Mulwaanyamuli and Nkangi were also appointed special advisors like Muliika. But I would not panic about that. Anyway, it only denies the Rwandese president of Uganda people that he can claim to be prominent Baganda. In any case, be assured that few enlightened Baganda, whether in Masaka or London, will take Mayiga seriously. They will look for other sources to find out what Kabaka Mutebi, Walusimbi, Nsubuga Nsambu, Muliika, Hussein Kyanjo or Betty Nambooze are really saying.”

In a separate development, the January 3, 2008 version of the Banyankore owned Uganda Observer will report that, Yoweri Museveni’s fumbling intelligence service finally found out that Bukenya and Nsibambi were holding James Bond style secret negotiations with certain Mmengo people (See " Why Museveni denied Bukenya Makerere job " and Sekanyolya's “Museveni’s Baganda Skimming To Abandon Him As DM Takes Things To Another Level” posting of December 19, 2007). According to the Uganda Observer story, Bukenya is in deep trouble while Nsibambi comes off the clean loyal Museveni supporter. This raises the question of whether Nsibambi, who used to be called “Kalilugambo” (telltale or snitch) during his Mengo Primary School days might have turned Bukenya in to save his job.

Aga Khan Joins Museveni’s Buganda Land Brigade, Censors Tough Open Letter from UNAA President To Museveni

2008-01-01T14:13:00.000-08:00

Two recent actions by the Aga Khan’s Museveni-controlled Monitor newspaper and KFM Radio are evidence that the managements of these two outlets are now active members of Museveni’s Buganda Land Bridage (BLB). (“Museveni Ready To Grab Buganda’s 9,000 Square Miles By “Returning” It To Mmengo” posting).

First, on Friday December 28, 2007 two Banyankore, Baryamureeba Venansius and Charles Mwanghuya, one Mutooro, Timothy Kalyegira, and one Langi, Chris Obore, used KFM Radio to make fun of Kabaka Mutebi and described his call on Baganda to fight to protect their land as “very selfish”. They accused Baganda of showing little concern when Kony was killing Northerners and singled out Sekanyolya and Baganda in the disapora as sectarians because they only talk about Buganda issues.

Days later, the Monitor newspaper editors (January 1, 2007), in consultation with Museveni’s state house, censored an open letter that one Lt. Frank Musisi wrote to the Rwandese President of Uganda on the Buganda land crisis (See “Open letter to His Excellency” in January 1 Monitor.) The California based Lt. Musisi is the new president of UNAA, an organization that Museveni has heavily funded and influenced over the last 5 years. Sources in Museveni’s state house have told Sekanyolya Yoweri was shocked that a UNAA president could dare to publicly oppose him at tough time like this. To control damage, Monitor cut out the sections in yellow below from Musisi’s letter.

Mr. President, I have also received reports from several members of UNAA, that people connected with the NRM government have used armed thugs to forcefully evict tenants from land (Bibanja) that they have occupied for years! These are the criminals that the government should be concerned about.

Your Excellency, I need not remind you of former dictator Idi Amin Dada’s 1975 Land Reform Decree which abolished Mailo land. This decree could not be enforced and is now only a reference in history books! We are also concerned that a Land Act written just 10 years ago now requires immediate amendment without consultation with stakeholders!

From Kirkuk in Iraq where former dictator Saddam Hussein uprooted the natives and brought in his Sunni brothers, to Jerusalem where the Arabs were displaced during the creation of Israel, conflicts relating to land have devastating and long lasting consequences when they are not properly handled.

Your Excellency our prayer to your government is for dialogue with all stakeholders on the land issues in order to achieve a win-win solution.

Finally, I would like to thank you for the government’s commitment and support to UNAA and to assure your Excellency of my highest consideration.

When asked for his opinion, Sekanyolya’s London based political consultant said that, “This land crisis, which Museveni has been artificially nurturing since 1997, is exposing the true enemies of Buganda. Every patriotic Muganda must carefully note these Museveni collaborators, whether they are Mmengo manipulating Kabaka or Banyankore like Baryamureeba. Time will come when we need to recall who was with us and who was with the occupiers.”

Museveni Manipulating Baganda Minds To Isolate Mutebi From Baganda After “Fake Negotiations”

2007-12-30T10:02:00.000-08:00

Sekanyolya has reliably learnt that the Rwandese president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, remains moody after losing the public relations battle on Buganda land grabbing to Kabaka Mutebi and Mmengo 'radicals'. However, as Sekanyolya warned on December 28, 2007, Museveni remains dangerous (see "Museveni Is Baffled By Mutebi’s Firm Position On Buganda Land, Turns To Gutter Tactics " posting.) The mere fact that Mmengo begged him to meet Kabaka gives him confidence that when the dust settles Buganda will not get what it wants and anything he can take it away later.

Sources in state house have informed Sekanyolya that Museveni has absolutely no interest in accommodating Buganda’s demands. To him, the most important outcome of these negotiations is to isolate Mutebi from Baganda, especially the excitable youth, Bataka and those in the diaspora. Museveni’s team is currently following the following strategy towards isolating Mutebi from Baganda:

Increase the police harassment the more popular and trusted Mmengo officials, currently involved in the Buganda land fight. Then insist that they be left out of the Buganda side because they are radicals and trouble-makers.
Influence Ssendaula to load the Mmengo delegation with people who cannot take any serious risks for Buganda. Museveni’s list of preferred people currently includes, John Katende, Peter Mayiga, Apollo Makubuya, David Ntege, Ian Kyeyune, Katimbo Mugwanya, Rose Namayanja, Semakula Settuba, Levi Zimbe, Grace Semakula and Abdul Nadduli. More than half owe their livelihood to Museveni.
Raise the expectations that Kabaka Mutebi will be in “real negotiations” and all agreements, even bad ones, will bind all Baganda. That way, Museveni can always tell Baganda to blame their Kabaka if they complain. And, if anything bad happens to Mutebi, he would have a solid alibi - millions of Baganda who hate their Kabaka.
When addressing the Kabaka, Museveni intends to remind him that he (Museveni) returned Kabakaship and has paid for numerous Kabaka’s expenses. He will bring 1966 up and include veiled threats about the possibility of genocide. He will also intimate, without specifics, that Government could release embarrassing information on Mutebi and Mmengo.
Museveni will not be obliged to implement any agreement reached since under his Uganda constitution he is not allowed to negotiate with Cultural leaders on political issues. Depending on how Baganda react to any deal, he will buy time with excuses like “We have no money to implement”, and only implement those elements that don’t disrupt his long term plans to keep all the 9,000 plus 1,500 square miles away from Baganda control.
Tamale Mirundi and Kateregga Musaazi have been tasked to coordinate a series of articles in Museveni’s Bukedde and New Vision to set the expectations and manipulate Baganda opinions. They are working with two officials in Mmengo (names withheld to protect the sources).

The Baganda that Sekanyolya spoke, at Nakulabye, want to know the agenda of any meeting between their Kabaka an Museveni. They expect that Apollo Makubuya will publish that agenda to Baganda before he exposes their Kabaka to the master con artist, who has never kept a single promise in his life. Given Makubuya's history with the Regional Tier deal, his intellect and credibility remains highly suspect among many ordinary Baganda.

Museveni Is Baffled By Mutebi’s Firm Position On Buganda Land, Turns To Gutter Tactics

2007-12-28T06:31:00.000-08:00

The latest from Museveni’s den is that the Rwandese President of

Uganda

is genuinely baffled with what to do next after Kabaka Mutebi's firm, logical and dignified Christmas message, instructing Baganda to do whatever they can to protect their land. According to one source in the state house, "Museveni is shocked by the speed and firmness with which Mmengo and Kabaka Mutebi managed to shut down his threats in the letter to Mutebi. He miscalculated that Ssendaula, with support from Nsibambi and Bukenya, would slow things down things and allow him to plot. However, for unclear reasons, Ssendaula took cover and threw the hot potato to the 'radicals' who simply heated it up more and threw it back into Yoweri's lap. Nsibambi and Bukenya could not do much because they are discredited at Mmengo where their clumsy efforts to double-deal did not impress."

Sekanyolya's sources warn though that, even if a little dazed, Museveni is not out at all. Indeed, even before Kabaka Mutebi's tough Christmas message was released he (Museveni) instructed Tamale Mirundi to come with a plan to neutralize Mutebi's "feudalist propaganda". According to the sources, Tamale went into full swing, and already has a series of fake news reports prepared whose sole purpose will be to create confusion ("kavuyo") and, if possible, later on make Kabaka seem unreasonable. "Tamale’s plan, which Museveni fully endorsed, is to ‘demystify’ Kabaka and Mmengo by forcing them to start talking to junior Government officials, compromised religious leaders and vagabonds like Kasirye Ggwanga. For example, they have already planted a “decoy” response to the Kabaka’s position on land in Aga Khan’s Daily Monitor and Museveni’s Bukedde. And it is from a nondescript Japadola man, Dennis Obbo. Similar gutter stories are planned for Museveni’s own New Vision and Bukedde. Again, the objective it to take attention off Museveni’s embarrassing performance against Mutebi and draw Mmengo into arguments with lumpens (bayaaye) like Obbo.”

It remains to be seen if, this time, the more strategic thinkers at Mmengo will prevail so that all Buganda officials refrain from writing responses to Dennis Obbo and other members of Museveni’s Buganda Land Brigade (see “Museveni Ridicules Kabaka Mutebi, Sets Tone For His Buganda Land Brigade Hooligans” post of December 7, 2007). Once again, watch out for more gutter news in Museveni’s and Aga Khan’s new outlets, from Baganda, Ugandans and even foreigners, attacking Mutebi and Baganda on land. The man is absolutely desperate!
