I had come up with the decision to stand for President of Uganda in
2016 given my conviction that I could fund raise using the Internet facility and
my creativeness as well as innovation abilities. Indeed I got it wrong as the machinery I was
to use is wholly in the hands of the NRM Government. To date, I believe I have sent out about
3,000 appeals internationally. However,
when I last contacted Barclays Bank, the reply I got was as follows:
Dear Mr. Kituuka,
We greatly apologise for the delay in response to your
email.
We have checked with our EFT system and there is no evidence
that funds were ever remitted to your account.
However, it is impossible to check further because more
information would be required. Information like the amounts, currency, mode of
transfer and the remitter. If you can
get the remitter to provide this information, we will be happy to check
further.
Kind regards,

I
made a mistake to have used the above strategy; however, mistakes are to
humans. This was the second time I was
fund raising for the big office. The 1st
time was in 2010 when not less than 4 of my emails collapsed/ceased to
exist. One of the formats of my appeals
was as indicated on the link below:
And,
surprisingly, my communication to a certain Mr Ishaq Sentongo who
was responsible in Cairo International bank did not receive any response and the
same was the case with Bank of Uganda then (2010) and even this time around (2015).
I believe a number of Government organs and
Ministries are involved in blocking the funding. These among others include: Bank of Uganda,
Ministry of Finance, President’s Office, Uganda Communications’ Commission to
mention a few.
I needed at least shs 60bn or US $24m to show
Ugandans a different approach to campaigns and get to convince them to support
my bid. I had no worry contesting with
President Museveni given my strategies and it looks like my chances to contest
have run out.
I thank God who gave me the determination to wish
to contest, 2ndly, the ability to be able to communicate to the whole world
about the plight of Ugandans and what I see as the strategies that could help
the situation.
By October 2014, I had seen that the way to go was
to unite Ugandans as a leader given the way party politics has divided the
people and the loss of hope for any better future given the governance of the
NRM Government. I was able to tell
Ugandans and the international community that given the number of political
parties in existence, there was no certainty that any single party could make
50% in the Presidential vote, so, the way forward is to join hands. And, that running for President is an
expensive undertaking such that other parties apart from the NRM – O have no
ability of easily raising the substantial amount necessary to be influential
enough and manage the logistics for President Single handed.
I thank all who may have fund raised for my bid in
2010 and this time round. I am most
grateful to their sacrifice and support, though the Government of Uganda knows
where the resources were/have been put.
To those involved in this game of confiscating such
resources, I pray to the Almighty God to see what is worthy for their destiny
in life.
