IN MEMORY OF DR. KAGGWA LAWRENCE

 

THE MAMBA CLAN ANTHEM

 

KEEPING THE SOCIAL MEDIA OFF MY BACKFIRE FOR NRM

 It is not clear whether the NRM Government knows how much many Ugandans value use and communication using social media. Unfortunately up to 23rd January from 12th January, 2021 Ugandans cannot  believe that Government has not bothered to know how important people value social media. As things stand, many people are getting more frustrated with the NRM ways of doing things. It is most likely that Ugandans will pay back the NRM Government given the type of treatment they have to endure.

NRM CANDIDATES NEED TO PRAY VERY HARD THAT THE ACT OF MAKING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS INACCESSIBLE DOES NOT COST THEIR VOTES.

It is not clear whether the Government of Uganda make a correct evaluation before removing the access of social media platforms.

Social media platforms have become part and parcel of the lives of many.

Given the act by Government of Uganda to make the platforms inaccessible, some voters may have a second opinion and punish the innocent NRM candidates.

It will be very sad if anybody loses simply because of the social media being inaccessible.

A PRAYER FOR THE LOSERS IN THE ELECTIONS IN UGANDA ON 14th JANUARY 2021.

 Good Lord, a number of candidates are to be disappointed in the 14th January 2021 elections. We have many contesting each of the available positions, however, for each position only one candidate has to finally emerge winner.

Lord, we pray that you comfort the losers because they have been contesting in a race where only one person has to emerge winner. It is not easy to appreciate the situation of each of the losers against the background of having injected a lot of finances in the undertaking.

We pray that you intervene to help comfort them given that losing is part of life. May the losers not wish to do anything wrong to themselves but just adjust to life because the loss is part of life.

In Your name I pray.

THE WORST NIGHTMARE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA OFF.

 President Museveni in his address to Ugandans on Tuesday, January 12 evening explained circumstances surrounding the cut off of social media. 

NRM Government may have used his reasoning to justify the expectation that the Social media was to be put off. However, social media is part and parcel of people’s lives. There is a lot of useful news and information that people get from social media.

In the future, Government should seriously think about developments that can lead to getting the social media off.

It is very uncomfortable and a real feeling of insecurity when the social media is off. I think abusers need to be identified and handled accordingly instead of punishing everybody.

GOD HELP ME GET JUSTICE FOR THE FUNDS I RAISED TO STAND FOR PRESIDENT OF UGANDA.

 AS UGANDA GOES TO VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT 2021 - 2026 ...

I am most disappointed by the people in Uganda whom we are supposed to respect by virtue of their offices. For 11 years and 6 years respectively, they schemed to deny me what is due to me. What these people did to me is an act of fraud.

In 2010, I set out to fundraise for standing for President of Uganda. I knew very well as one who has been to school that if I showed the whole world a well made piece of work, I would earn sympathy from those with funds to donate to such a cause.

Indeed I went and put up a Blog as a kind appeal for financial support to my cause. Having put up the blog, I went to Cairo International Bank in Kampala. I informed them of my intentions to stand for President of Uganda in 2011 and that I wanted to use my account: Ultra Simplex Enterprises for the purpose. They did not object.

I then went, started sending out appeals to as many email contacts as I was able to come across, at times I would search for them from the Internet.

It is sad that when some people realized that I was getting money, they hatched a plan: They shamelessly agreed that they tell me that I had not raised any money.

A few days to the collecting of Nomination Forms, I decided to write to the Governor Bank of Uganda about my problem. In my heart I realized there was a deliberate plan to deny me access to funds I raised given that I had for sometime failed to access the Hotmail email I used in most of the appeals. Unfortunately,  no one in Bank of Uganda responded to my appeal for their help which had been that they help establish whether I had received funds for the credit of Account no 000686 in the name: Ultra Simplex Enterprises.

I had nothing to do but sort of close that chapter. In my mind however, I knew that at some future time, I would get to know the truth.

After more than a year, I got to know that there had been a fraud that had been undertaken in Cairo bank. This was baptized: The Pension Scam. I grew interested in the matter as it was very possible that part of the funds I raised were actually involved in the funds that were given out to fake pensioners.

The matter was eventually decided in court but against some false facts. However, what came out clearly was that some staff of the Ministry of Public Service; the Ministry of Finance; Bank of Uganda and Cairo Bank we’re involved in implementing the fraud.

It is 11 years down the road, and this matter is alive. However, there are many lessons to learn from it:

1st many people turn so inhuman where money is involved. The schemers to see my money stolen just concentrated on satisfying their desire to get free things;

2nd, it surprises how Uganda Government can coordinate to ensure that justice is not realized;

3rd, I have come to accept that God really exists. People can do all sorts of things, but God prevails and guides the one who suffers such consequences.

In 2014, when the Pension Scam case was already in court, I decided to try to plan to contest for President of Uganda in 2016. I worked on two blogs for the purpose. I looked a round for a Bank that would not take me through the experience of Cairo bank. Barclays came to my mind. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Barclays Bank opened an account for me in the name of Kiwanuka Kituuka. Unfortunately, not a single coin has ever been declared to me!

Some people may not see the seriousness of this matter. This is a very unfortunate development. It is not clear how it is coordinated, and nobody may know how many Ugandans are losing funds following the interception of what is due to them by such crooks.

I have had the most terrible experience getting the powers that be to address my matters. Bank of Uganda had since September 2010 not responded to any of my communications until a new Deputy Governor was appointed and he took office. That is when in August 2020 an official communication was made to the two banks regarding my complaints.

It was on 28th December 2020 that Bank of Uganda officially responded to my issues, yet they had not undertaken any audits to find out the truth.

I have seen candidates fundraise locally and outside Uganda. I find it very hard to get to terms given the treatment I am going through in these matters. The NRM Government wants our votes, however, if they cannot help us get justice, why should I go out to vote them. I would not mind and still don’t mind President Museveni being President of Uganda. What I want is justice. I got a lot of money into Uganda, unfortunately, Bank of Uganda is party to games to see me denied what is due to me.

I have Faith in the Almighty God and I keep praying that I get justice.

The unfortunate thing is that we see people in offices who keep scheming to reap where they did not sew.

So
