{UAH} WHY MBABABAZI CANT BE ARRESTED BEFORE THE POPE'S VISIT
WHY MBABABAZI CANT BE ARRESTED BEFORE THE POPE'S VISIT
Uganda's military dictator Museveni a year ago sacked Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi because he suspected him to be harboring plans to run for presidency of Uganda on the regime party ticket. Since then Museveni declared himself the sole candidate for the regime party presidential aspirant in the Feb 2016 general elections. A mama Mbabazi who has not quit the regime party and also gone ahead to declare his intention to run as an independent candidate and has duly been nominated by the regime's Electoral Commission.
On the eve if the nomination date speculation was ripe that Mbabazi was to be arrested over concocted charges. The Mbabazi team raised their concern to the regimes's prosecuting authority (DPP) that is unfortunately headed by a State House Aide and the Police also hastly came out to deny the allegation. Whether, the plan had been there or not, at the end of the day its Mbabazi who scored higher. Mbabazi's candidature is to some extent weakening the regime's political cohesion. Because of the dire consequences from the regime, very few top members of the regime party will openly come out to support Mbabazi's candidature. However, typical of Mbabazi's method of work, he will register a lot of covert support from a good number of regime cadres. Because of his past service record, Mbabazi has a number of contacts in the regime party structures, the security forces, the opposition parties, civil society and in the diplomatic circles. This is the reason Museveni is itching to destroy him sooner than later.
The incarceration of Mbabazi's military aide, Jimmy Katabazi over flimsy charges of absentism is designed to send a clear message to Mbabazi and those members of the regime who intend to support his bid that catastrophe awaits them. This is what Museveni alluded to last week when he warned 'infiltrators' from the Mbabazi camp thus: "I have the capacity to know whatever happens in the whole country". Initially, he had hoped that the opposition would cone up with Mbabazi as the joint presidential candidate so that by the time he deals him a blow, it would be too late for 5he opposition to get a credible replacement.
Much as the regime would wish Mbabazi to get out of the Presidential race at all cost, it can not arrest him before the Pope's visit that is slated for 27- 29 November, 2015. Between now and then, the regime is trying to maintain some semblance of political tolerance in order to portray a false impression of Democratic governance. However, immediately the Pope leaves on 29th November 2015, mayhem will befall the country and Mbabazi camp in particular before Museveni will be declared theWINNER
of the February 2016 general elections.
