{UAH} 'UNPATRIOTIC' RELIGIOUS LEADERS DOMINATE MUSEVENI'S INTELLIGENCE BRIEFS

'UNPATRIOTIC' RELIGIOUS LEADERS DOMINATE MUSEVENI'S INTELLIGENCE BRIEFS

Museveni's different secret service outfits always compete against each other in presenting the best intelligence  reports on major incidents, events and occasions.  These briefs take 5he form of comprehensive situation reports that are comprised of an analysis and recommendations on the cause of action. Its the analytical and recommendation part of such briefs that is the focuso of competition by different inttelligence outfits as they endeavor to outsmart each other before the Commander in Chief.  The smarter the analysis, the greater the funding thus despite the existence of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), National Security Council (NIC), JATF etc, Museveni prefers to receive and action such intelligence reports.  That is how Gen. Ssejusa was rendered irrelevant as the Coordinator of Intelligence Services.

Each of these intelligence outfits has a Political Intelligence Desk that collects, collates, analyses and submits political related intelligence to Museveni.  Such intelligence focuses on identifying and neutralising political dissent over its 30 years hold on power.  As a rule, such analysis is not supposed to make a finding of the regime's dwindling popularity but to portray dissenters as negative forces that are confusing and inciting the masses. If any of the intelligence managers dared to present a true picture of the situation, he would be blacklisted as an agent of negative forces.  This is what befell the likes of Charles Rwomushana- - the former State House Head of Political intelligence.  It takes the courage of  the likes of Gen. Ssejusa to to warn that the regime brutality against opposition activists negatively impacted on the economy.  No wonder, he conflicted with the regime and fell out.

Within the intelligence community (CMI, ISO, JATF, State House, Police, Crime Preventers etc), such national events like the Pope's visit, the terror threats, the current general election period etc, provide a bumper harvest season in terms of cash flow.  The current bumper season started right from the time former Prime Minister Mbabazi declared intentions to contest against Museveni, Museveni's sole candidature project, Dr. Besigye's return to the Political scene with his defiance campaign, the Pope's Visit etc.  It has been gradually growing and will climax with a fully blown regime orchestrated election violence. Many of the key players in the different intelligence outfits are praying for the escalation of the election violence and their reports predict violence thus the more the threat, the more the prospects of cash flow.  The 50 billion shillings recently approved by Parliament for anticipated election violence is one such trophies being competed for by members of the intelligence community.

 Different outfits gather, compile, analyse and submit reports at different levels throughout the country which in turn are summerized and submitted to Museveni by the respective outfits.  Such reports cover not only the opposition, but also civil society organisations, religious leaders, NGOs, regime cadres (the likes of Tamale Mirundi, Gen. Otafiire, Tanga Odoi, Prof. Bukenya and others), external forces - individuals like Donald Triumph, Kofi An an and others, international organisations like Human Rights Watch, states more especially the donor community.  It is the recommendations contained in such intelligence reports that fed to cabinet Ministers and government àgencies like the Electoral Commission, Police, Communications Commission, National NGO Board etc to form the basis for their policies and regulations that favor the regime while suppressing any form of political dissent.  It is the analysis and recommendations in such intelligence reports that Prime Minister Rugunda was instructed to deliver to Ugandans last week.  This wad because days before he has attacked violence by the regime militias - the Crime Preventers.

 During the festive season, most of the top religious leaders expressed worries over election violence yet Museveni assures the country that all is fine. The religious leaders highlighted the lack of levelled ground in the entire electoral process.  They decried the level of intimidation and threats of violence that have characterised the ongoing electoral process.  They cautioned the electorates against electing liars and urged them  to elect  candidates who will steer the country to development.  They urged Ugandans to stand firm amidst land grabbing, arson, killings, etc and to vote for leaders who will make laws that will fight evil.  They asked presidential candidates to deploy polling agents at all polling stations in the country  to prevent vote rigging.  Obviously, all the above criticism was aimed at the incumbent Museveni. Earlier on, candidate Besigye had been hosted by the christians at St. Kangwa catholic church in Bushenyi where they fundraised for his political campaigns after the Parish Priest had blessed him. Dr. Besigye had spent Christian  in Moyo where he attended mass and the new years eve in Masindi where he attended mass.
The head of the Catholic Church, Bishop Osama JB told residents of Appa in Amuru district that he woul stand by them on the issue of their land after residents accused Museveni of being behind their suffering over their land.

Museveni has always  threatened and blackmailed religious leaders to stay out of of politics accusing them of being devisive.  He has often bribed them with fundraising contributions and posh cars in exchange for their turning a blind eye and deaf ears on the regime's excesses.  He has tended to lean towards the Born Again Churches in order to undermine the mainstream churches.  He even recognises the traditional healers and witch doctors under Mama Fina.  During the new years eve, Museveni toured the Born Again congregations where he was granted a platform to conduct his campaigns.  He decreed that those born again churches can go ahead and solemnise marriages in total disregard of the existing law and the role of parliament in making laws.  The festive season intelligence briefs were dominated by the "hostility" from religious leaders. The mainstream religious groups were accused of allying with the opposition.  They recommend that the Electoral Commission should slam a ban on contestants  from visiting  places of worship thus the recent ban on the same.

The same religious groups under their umbrella organisation, Joint Religious Council of Uganda (JRCU) are organising a live televised presidential debate for aspirants scheduled for January 15th 2016..  As a way of buying time, Museveni had earlier accepted that he would attend but now it has been confirmed that he would not attend.  Being a "consummate" liar, he is shy and fears to look straight into the camera and the Ugandan audience and be able to state substantiated facts, yet he prefers to operate clandestinely and behind the scenes. Above all he fears to be humiliated by Dr. Besigye because Mr. Mbabazi may not aggressively confront him.  On his part Museveni can not dare to repeat in the presence of Besigye and Mbabazi among others what he has been deceiving Ugandans that they failed to perform when they were in government or else he risks being stripped naked'. Museveni does not recognise the presidential bid of other contestants and that is why he calls them wolves, threatens to arrest them, unleashes terror on their camaign efforts, and vows never to leave power because he has his personal army, the Treasry and the oil reserves.  How could Ugandans expect Museveni to attend the debate when he has in the past shunned similar debates.  How did Democrats expect to debate with à fulltime military dictator!!!

 Therefore, to Museveni religious leaders had laid a trap  for him and he feels betrayed by their lack of patriotism.  On top of paying dearly for poking their finger in the a... Of a leopard, Museveni must be planning to deploy his army officers to head religious institutions.
