{UAH} WHY COMEDIAN BITAMA'S BECAME POLITICAL FOOTBALL.

When 'funny' comedian Bitama died a week back, a man turned up from nowhere and claimed paternity. This was after his mother and 'father' had died yet he continued to live in the place he was born and brought up.

What is eye-catching is that the state [using the political police] sided with the intruder and even captured the body to ostensibly carry out DNA tests at state expence. they gave the new-found dad state security, setting up a 'barracks' at his home. The body had been tampered with and the government chemist could not provide results for a whole week, the GoU admitting it was an impossibl;e task

By a clever ambush and turn-around,, police called a press conference at the weekend and anounced the new 'turn-up' as te true father of comedian "Mr. Big Chicks"

Why all the state involvement?
1. Bitama was not just a comedian, he was an opposition political activist.
2. he joined besigye in the trenches.
3. AT THE VIGIL AT BITAMS'A CHILDHOOD HOME, THE COLONEL DISCLOSED THATBITAMS HAD DIED BECAUSE OF POLICE MISTREATMENT AND TEAR GAS---THE DIE WAS CAST,THE BODY HAD TO GO TO THE PARENT THAT DIS NOT AGREE WITH THE TEAR GAS THEORY AND THERE FORE HAD TO BE ABDUCTED..
4. This was confirmed indirectly a few days later, when the emperor was meeting his beurocrats and issued a new 10-point programme: amongthe top points (number 2) was FIGHTING THE LIKES OF BESIGHYE.

Conclusion: The circus around Bitama'a parternity is driven by the political witchunt agaist the opposition. they are fought with full force not only when alive but in death too.
