Another act of plagiarism/forgery. Trust me i know the source of this statement and it's not supposed to be dated Feb 24. Virtual media scammers with no following or legitimacy.

UGANDAN YOUTH
DECIDE ON THE NEXT STEPS.
Press Statement for Immediate release
24th Feb 2016
The young people of Uganda comprise the majority, at over
78% of the total population and they overwhelmingly
participated in this election. The voting exercise having
been completed Five days ago, as key stakeholders and
majority bearers of the national burden in all its
manifests, we would like to share with all Ugandans and the
international community our observations, conclusions and
the way forward after the elections.
The youth in Uganda, are facing a very uncertain future
ranging from; having the highest unemployment rate of 83%,
deteriorating quality of education, corrupt credit schemes,
abject poverty; disease and the desperation that is driving
us to become, gamblers, prostitutes, economic refugees.
Slaves in the Middle East, Far East and other Asian
countries.
All this is, as Yoweri Museveni put it in his book "WHAT
IS AFRICA's PROBLEM", a consequence of, but not limited
to; 30 years of poor leadership of the very author of the
book who now believes Uganda is him, him is Uganda and that
he doesn't see anyone else capable of leading Uganda apart
from himself!
"Africa doesn't need strongmen; it needs strong
institutions"
Like President Barak Obama said while on his first official
trip as president of the United States to the heart of
Africa;
"Development depends upon good governance".
"No person wants to live in a society where the rule of
law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. "That
is not a democracy, that is tyranny, and now is the time for
it to end." In Uganda
Democracy and good governance are the ingredients which have
been missing in Uganda, for far too long.
The 30 years' revolutionary turned dictator who attained
power by gun, rules by the gun and believes only the gun
shall remove him from power legitimizes his rule and
disguises dictatorship through sham elections, patronage
abuse and use of state machinery to stay in power.
A rigged election in favor of the incumbent implies our
sufferings is not about to end, the National Resistance
Movement (NRM) government has resorted to the mass arrest of
the youth as a means to silence us. It is time for the young
to claim their rights and lead this struggle. Uganda's
future, our future is in our hands. The young have the
potentials to make this country work for each and every one
of us. As such we make the following Observations and
conclusions
REJECTION OF FEB 18TH ELECTION RESULTS.
Having widely observed this election and actively
participated in voting in search for change from a tired
brutal regime to democratic and good governance, we would
like to distance ourselves from the final results that were
declared by Kiggundu "Independent" Electoral
commission.
We reject these results in the strongest terms possible as
they are not a true reflection of the will and wish of
Ugandan people while they cast their votes on the 18th Feb
2016. We saw the deliberate delay of polling materials,
ballot boxes stuffed with pre-ticked ballot papers in favor
of the incumbent and kidnap of tallying material and FDC
party leaders from the FDC Party headquarters, we will not
allude to what happened any further as its clear to all
Ugandans now.
The entire electoral process became a sham; it was rigged
using intimidation of voters, imprisonment of opponents,
sabotage of rallies, late delivery of election materials,
delayed opening of election centers, vote falsification at
undisclosed tally centers, and bribery, among other
malpractices.
The European Union and Commonwealth preliminary reports are
already out, were aired on 20th February 2016 and are
available on the YouTube channel for you to see and confirm
our concerns as Ugandans who hold our future so dearly.
The Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Mr. Badru Kiggundu
intentionally announced the false results in favor of the
incumbent, Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni as the
'winner' of the election, on the 20th February 2016.
This has been challenged by the main opposition candidate
Col DR Kizza Besigye (rtd), the FDC party and the majority
of Ugandans! They could have gone to demonstrate their
protest but in Uganda, demonstrations are curtailed and
regarded uncivil by the already partisan Uganda Police under
the patronage of the Public Order Management Act.
CONTINUED ARRESTS OF FDC PARTY LEADERS.
We have observed the Uganda Police and Military police are
using insurmountable force in illegally arresting and
detaining opposition party leaders, FDC party staffs, Power
10 volunteers, FDC party supporters and pressing no charges
against them. We are aware that these are deliberate steps
to curtail their freedoms of assembly, expression aimed at
physically and illegally blocking all their efforts to seek
court redress within the 10 working days required by law to
contest this election.
We are calling upon all Ugandans, pro-democratic forces, and
human rights activists to reject these actions with all
constitutional means possible. We will not continue to look
on as you illegally arrest FDC party leaders and members.
It's our constitutional right to stand against all
illegalities and inhuman treatment. This should stop
immediately and if you don't stop we will take all
measures to stop this illegality and abuse of human freedoms
and inherent rights .
BESIEGING OF KIZZA BESIGYE PREMISES.
We would like in the strongest terms possible condemn the
continued persecution, house detention, detention without
trial of Presidential candidate Kizza Besigye. There is
heavy deployment around his house and he can hardly make a
step outside his door. This is unacceptable and is very
unprecedented in our country. He is not only a Ugandan but a
human rights activists as well as a presidential candidate.
Col. KIzza Besigye deserves to enjoy his constitutional and
inherent right to a dignifying treatment by the state. As
key stakeholders in this country, we are asking the state
not to taste our patience. You have done many
unconstitutional things but we will not let you curtail the
rights of RTD. Col DR. Kizza Besigye and illegal besieging
of FDC party Headquarters
In the same spirit, we would like to condemn the Uganda
police for the continued besieging of a legally registered
political party FDC headquarters. The breaking of doors and
vandalisation of FDC property by Uganda police.
APPEAL TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
To the international community and observers. Will you look
on as Uganda's constitutional order is abused and Ugandans
are raped of their dignity to vote for the leaders they
want?
We commend you for raising your concerns about the flawed
electoral process but actions speak louder than words. We
are calling upon you to diligently continue observing the
process and remain key watchdogs in this process but also
take swift and drastic action that will restore the freedom
of assembly, association and movement of Col Dr Kizza
Besigye, members of his campaign task force the P10 vote
protection volunteers and all the FDC party activists, so
that a petition can be finalized and launched in the
required time frame for the high court to handle in an
effort to seek redress. You have a lot at your disposal
including but not limited to imposing targeted sanctions on
the regime if they don't comply.
UGANDA'S CONSTITUTIONAL MANDATE.
We believe in part that the supreme law of the land has been
abrogated in accordance with chapter one of the 1995
constitution that states that:
1. The sovereignty of the people.
(1) All power belongs to the people who shall exercise their
sovereignty in accordance with this Constitution.
(2) Without limiting the effect of clause (1) of this
article, all authority in the State emanates from the people
of Uganda; and the people shall be governed through their
will and consent.
We believe that the current situation and the announcement
of false results infringe on the will and consent of
Ugandans. Yet the constitution further says that;
(4) The people shall express their will and consent on who
shall govern them and how they should be governed, through
regular, free and fair elections of their representatives or
through a referendum.
We have all reasons and overwhelming evidence that is
blatantly clear to all Ugandan and all election observers
that the just concluded presidential elections were not free
or fair and thus fell short of this constitutional mandate.
As such we have a constitutional duty enshrined in our
constitution and these will be but our next steps until such
a moment as instructed by this constitution and we quote;
3. Defense of the Constitution.
(4) All citizens of Uganda shall have the right and duty at
all times—
(a) to defend this Constitution and, in particular, to
resist any person or group of persons seeking to overthrow
the established constitutional order; and
(b) to do all in their power to restore this Constitution
after it has been suspended, overthrown, abrogated or
amended contrary to its provisions.
(5) Any person or group of persons who, as required by
clause (4) of
this article, resists the suspension, overthrow, abrogation
or amendment of
this Constitution commits no offense.
1. We demand that the Police with immediate effect STOP the
continued trespass and vacate the premises of Kizza Besigye
. Short of this we will mobilize all democracy loving
Ugandans and His supporters for a peaceful demonstration at
his home in our usual large numbers.
2. We demand that the Police and the State respect Col Dr.
Kizza Besigye's freedom of movement, assembly, association
and demonstration. It's his right
3. We demand that the Uganda Police leaves FDC headquarters
in peace with immediate effect to allow normal FDC political
business to take course.
4. We demand that the police refrains its self from and in
fact STOPS the continued arrest and detention of Col.Kizza
Besigye from his home and illegally keeping him in Police
cells. We are prepared to challenge this if it does not stop
with immediate effect.
5. The EC must forthwith avail comprehensive lists of all
polling stations tallied including those that had been
omitted from the final tally for comprehensive analysis.
6. We are calling upon the International community to
constitute an independent audit to establish the facts and
we demand the Electoral commission and the State to comply
accordingly if and when such an audit is underway for the
good of our country.
From now further business is not going to be as usual, as
citizens and stake holders of this country, we are now more
than ready to assertively control our destinies in order to
claim our future. There is no other person who will do it
for us. That time is has come and that moment is now.
"For God and My country"
Thank you
