MUSEVENI'S LITTLE KNOWN GEN. KWAME RUYONDO!!!
Kwame Ryondo is a prominent crook businessman in Uganda who has strong connections with the Museveni family and regime. His father, the late Nathan Ruyondo was a Town Clerk of Masaka Municipality when he gave Museveni his car to use on the first attack on Kabamba Barracks. His mother, the late Doreen Ruyondo was a sister to Museveni while his brother the late Col. Patrick Lumumba was one of the 27 men who launched the bush war by attacking Kabamba barracks in 1981. The late Col. Lumumba died in 1991 leaving a now 25 years old daughter, Anna Lumumba who is one of the richest people in Uganda and these days is being paraded by Musevei at his rallies because is vying for the youth parliamentary seat. During the bush war Col. Lumumba commanded the elite and battle hardened 3rd Battalion and at the time of his death he was the Commander of the 3rd Division and a member of NRC (Parliament) representing the army. Therefore Kwane Ruyondo is Museveni's nephew while Anna Lumumba is his grand niece.
Kwame Ruyondo came to prominence when it emerged that he had been the middleman in the infamous procurement of the junk helicopter saga that fleeced the public coffers of billions of shillings. The deal that involved a UK based company, Consolidated Sales Corporation (UK) procured the junk helicopter gunships from Belarus. Kwame Ruyondo acted as a middleman in a deal whereMMuseveni's brother, Gen. Saleh confessed to have pocketed US$800,000. A commission of inquiry led by Justice Julia Ssebutinde recommended that Gen. Saleh, businessman Emma Kati and Keane Ruyondo should be charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1970 but Museveni moved in to protect his own and the matter ended there. On top of other shoddy deals, Kwame Ruyondo and Gen. Saleh who owned Uganda Coffee House Ltd fleeced the government of thousands billions of public funds ostensibly to add value and promote Uganda coffee in Denmark. They also owned M/s Elgon Coffee which they used in furtherance of the scam thus why Museveni was fighting Mandala Mafabi and Bugisu Cooperative Union. Despite theprobe by the parliamentary committee, the matter was swept under the carpet as they enjoyed their loot under Museveni's protection.
In 2005 former Army Commander, Gen. Kaziini was charged before the General Court Martial for abuse of office, causing financial loss, and forgery. He was granted bail after depositing 2M cash and his two surities, Kwame Ruyondo and Francis Nyiine an Advocate were bonded 1M not cash. During the bail application prosecution attempted to rise an objection arguing that allowing civilians to stand surety for a soldier before a military court would set a dangerous precedent. The defence team argued that that that line of argument was not backed by any law. After about 15 minutes of arguments, the then Chairman of the General Court Martial, Gen. Elly Tumwiine went ahead to rule that Gen. Kaziini qualified for bail. While on bail, Gen. Kaziini was allowed to attend a one year course in Nigeria!!! Museveni claimed that he had reached an understanding with him that he would return to stand trial. While in Nigeria, he was summoned back to Uganda to appear before a High Command commission of inquiry into the creation of ghost soldiers in relation to Gen. Kaziini's pending charges.
After completing his course in Nigeria, Gen. Kaziini was taken through a sham trial whereby he was convicted to three years. He applied for bail pending appeal in the Court Martial Appeal Court. That court granted him bail after he presented Generals Saleh, Otafiire and JJ Odong as surities. His attempt to present civilian surities like Kwame Ruyondo, Mwine Francis and Enock Rukidi were rejected by the appelate court. He was murdered during that period when he was awaiting for determination of his appeal. In the ongoing persecution of Gen. Ssejusa before the same General Court Martial, his bail applications was rejected on grounds that he presented civilian sureties instead of army officers of same or above his rank.
That is the monster in the Museveni Court Martial which he uses to suppress dissent the way he wishes. Why didn't the precedent set in the Gen. Kaziini trial be applied in determining Gen. Ssejusa's bail application if the court martial is a court of law????
