MUSEVENI'S POLICE COMMANDER ATTEMPTED TO MURDER A JOURNALIST
For quite sometime now the brutality of Museveni's Police has grown from bad to worse but the worst is yet to be seen as we enter a crucial phase of his life presidency scheme. The brutality has not spared toddlers, women, elderly, children, students, traders, political dissenters, human rights and anti-corruption activists etc. The driving force behind all this brutality is Musevei's militarisation and political indoctrination of the police force coupled by infiltration of soldiers into the Police force. The force has been successfully transformed into the ruling party structures as an enforcement branch for Museveni's life Presidency project. The nature of recruitment, training, deployment, equipment, command and control etc all point to a regime's police force bent on protecting Mzei (Museveni)'s hold on power at allCOST
. The few known gruesome incidents of brutality committed in public are just a fraction of what goes on in private i.e during night patrols, in detention at Police stations and safe houses etc. The regime tells its Police personnel that all dissenters are enemies of Mzei (Musevenis) who should be treated at terrorist enemies and dealt with with maximum force. On 13th January 2015 the IIGP (Inspector General of Police) Kalekyezi Kayihura warned again demonstrations when he told the youth at a convention in Kabale thus: "No one will take power from us" Therefore it is all about doing all it takes to retain power no matter the cost in terms of human blood. For any Police Officer to be able to qualify for being deployed in command positions in and around Kampala and other strategic areas, one must be a proven party cadre whose loyalty to Mzei (Museveni) is not in doubt.
On 12th January 2015 the DPC (District Police Commander) of Old Kampala Police Station Joram Mwesigye led his men against the peaceful demonstration by some dozen youths who were matching through the city heading for the police headquarters to hand in their petition. As the norm these days, the Police unleashed their usual terror on peaceful demonstrating and unarmed dozen youths. The journalists covered the proceedings with their cameras but the DPC ordered them to stop thus: "I am going to shoot you if you don't stop filming what is going on now". The said DPC was armed with a pistol and he used an electronic cable to hit the journalists before hit hit hard a WBS TV cameraman's head and he fell unconscious. The same DPC ordered his men toBUNDLE the injured journalist into his private car and drove him to the police station where he dumped him into a cell. It was only after the intervention of the Regional Police Commander (RPC) that the injured journalist was rushed to the hospital where he is currently hospitalised.
The Police top management has come out to offer public apologies after allegedly suspending and arresting the said officer and promising toINVESTIGATE the motive of the officer. They disassociated from his actions describing them as 'individual actions'.
This officer should be charged with attempted murder and in the event that the hospitalised victim dies, the charge sheet will beAMENDED to murder. By threatening to shoot unarmed journalists, the officer expressed an intent to harm the life of the victim because shooting is not like slapping. The persistent chasing and clobbering of the journalist with an electric cable using such a force moreover on the head demonstrates an intention to terminate the life of his victim. This argument is reinforced by the fact that the said officer denied the victim medical attention in preference for dumping him in the cell so that he could die. Therefore the circumstances, weapon used and part of the body targeted may infer the intent to an attempt to murder. The Police will influence the outcome of the medical examination on the victim so as to stifle grievous bodily harm that would constitute a vital ingredient of any serious charge.
Police top management is simply trying to sweet talk the public just to cool down the tampers. The alleged suspension, arrest andINVESTIGATION of the officer is as usual meant to hoodwink the public; what happened to Lt Magala shot people at Bulange, Arinaitwe Bwana who sprayed pepper into Dr Besigye's eyes etc?
The officer will be exonerated, promotted and redeployed as an excellent cadre because police top management alwaysASSURES them of full backing and protection in such eventualities. On the other hand, Some of the excited Police Officers need to understand that they are serving a regime whose 'origin and destination' they don't know. Its not possible for about 50,000 police personnel to hold hostage over 35 million Ugandans for ever.
