MUSEVENI'S SECURITY AGENTS ARE BEHIND THE ALLEGED CRIMINAL GANGS.
Last week, security chiefs issued a public statement to the effect that criminal gangs had invaded Kampala city. A few days later, the Police Chief Gen Kalekyezi aka Mukanjanga (chief executioner of martyrs) met the Police Commanders of the greater Kampala where he expressed disappointment over the upsurge of crime in the city before disclosing that some Police Crime Intelligence Officers were conniving with criminals. There is no doubt that the Museveni regime Police's sole duty is to brutally suppress and subdue political dissent. It enjoys full protection of the regime in the commission of these heinous crimes against Ugandans. In doing so, Ugandans have been left vulnerable to detectable and preventable crimes. On the other hand, members of the regime Police and other security agencies are involved in outright armed robberies, murder for hire, extortion, theft, maiming, torture, kidnap, illegal detentions, bribery, etc. The regime also uses insecurity as an excuse to clamp down on political dissent, to justify recruitment and militarisation of the Police, creation of regime militia groups, huge budgetary expenditure, etc.
Here below, please find a few out of he many incidents that illustrate the above arguments:
1. The DPC of Kampala's CPS, Aron Baguma is accused of murder of a businesswoman Dinar Katushabe at the Prime Car Bond. Together with the bond proprietor, Mr. Mohammed Ssebufu and other police officer tortured the deceased to death after the businessman paid cash to the said DPC; according to the Head of Prosecutions (DPP) before ordering for his arrest and arignment before courts of law. The DPC is still at large and last Friday he was In-charge of security at the presidential debate venue. He is still at large because he is a 'home boy' as not everybody in the Police leadership can be entrusted with taking charge of policing the central Kampala area. Next, Ugandans will hear that potential witnesses in that case have dies or are missing..
2. The officer In-charge of Malabar central Police Station at the Uganda/Kenya border, Mr. Julius Jingo is under arrest for having been coordinating theft of cars and other goods in transit. The vice had been ongoing for a long time and victims lost billions of shillings as the stollen cars were being sold to neighboring DRC and South Sudan. Unlike Aron Baguma, Julius Jjingo has been arrested because he is not a 'home boy' though there will be no meaningful trial.
3. Former Director of Operations in Police, Felix Kaweesa is accused of having a hand in the murder of city businessman Wilberforce Wamala. The potential witness Hassan Ssali was kiled in police custody in a move orchestrated by Andrew Kawesi. When the matter came to the likelight, the regime swiftly moved Kawesi from Operations to Administration so that he gets out of the public limelight as the matter is swept under the carpet.
4. Top regime Police detective cadres, Karo and Komurubuga took bribes in the 165billion shilling Pensions Scam and when the CID Chief Grace Akullo attempted to poke her flat nose noise into the misconduct of her two officers, their God Fathers in the force intervened on behalf of the two homeboys thus instead it was Akullo who was sent in limbo as the two culprit detectives continue to shine.
5. Last week, Ismail Mayanjs of Bunamwaya in Kampala was murdered in police custody by the In-charge of Kilimanyaga Police Post. The deceased had been detained on suspicion of having carried out a ritual murder. It is suspected that the relatives of the victim of ritual murder connived with Sgt Opolot to kill Ismail Ssali while in his custody. The police has arrested Sgt Opolot because he is not home boy though the matter will as usual be swept under the carpet.
6. Police Constable Wandera of Katwe Police Station is alleged to have lost a gun to criminal youth gangs and is under arrest.
7. In Budaka district, the district coordinator of Crime Preventers is under arrest for extorting 700,000/= from his fellow crime preventers ostensibly to pay for motorcycles which are given to them for free courtesy of the tax payer. Imagine if he can do that his colleagues, what about if it comes to helpless civilians!!!
8. In early 2015, Sgt Jaden Ashraf attached to Muyenga police post in Kampala wàs hired to kill city tycoon, Kasiwukira in a faked motor accident. Some conspiring police officers rushed to kill evidence by deliberately mishandling the crime scene. It was after the strong club of top Baganda city tycoons issued threats, that the police made some progress in inquiries.
9. The Ndeeba incident where Museveni's special intelligence operative, Muhirwa shot dead two criminal police intelligence operatives who had allegedly been hired to extort and kill him. Police inquiries revealed that Muhirwa had been in posession of an illegal gun and a number of passports that were not in his names. He is out on bai and the case is as good as dead.
10. Businessman, rally ace and highly politically connected, Desh Kananura simply tortured to death his employee. The murder charge now withstanding, the suspect is as free as a bird in the air.
11. In January 2015 in front of the cameras, then Old Kampala DPC, Jom Mwesigye attempted to murder TV Journalist who was covering a peaceful protest. Mwesigye only faced the simple charge of common assault and is back on duty while the victim Journalist is physically incapacitated and begging members of the public to fundraise for his operation on his dislocated spinal code.
13. In February 2015, two police officers of the VIP protection unit who were guarding the residence of Justice Faith Mwonda in Bugiri were attacked by unknown people, killed and their two guns taken as they rode bicycles from their guard post to Bugiri police station. This incident followed the murder of the LCIII chairman Tit
Okware and Sheikh Dr. Abdul Kadhir Muwaya by unknown people in the samarea
13. Last week, two police personnel from the VIP protection unit are alleged to have been attacked, killed and their guns taken by unknown people as they returned from other respective guard posts on foot in the wee hours of the morning. They had been guarding the residences of Justice Tabaro and former Obote Minister, Chris Rwakasisi.
14. Arinaitwe Bwana, the police officer who attempted to kill the leading opposition leader, Dr. Besigye has always enjoyed full protection by the regime and now they are trying to hide him behind the insanity shield as alleged that he is attending mental clinic.
15. For the fist time in the history of criminal justice throughout the world, the Deputy Director of police's criminal investigations was ordered by the Police Chief Gen. Kalekyezi to testify as a defence witness in the murder trial of the latter's in law Jackie Nsenga.
16. In 2010, the High Court ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate the killings of prisoners in Luzira Prison. The inquest was prompted by killing of detained businessman, Saudi Lutaaya. However, the order was not honoured to this date.
17. In March 2015, security agencies were hunting for dangerous army officers led by Capt. Peter Mushabe the In-charge of Communication at military intelligence (CMI) who had been carrying our high profile armed robberies. Some of their victims had been a Chinese Construction Company which lost 350,000UD$ and another 25 million shillings from an Indian businessman. During those incidents, Israel made and supplied Macro Garril guns which are the exclusive of CMI Special Squads (Black Mambas) and SFG thus ease of investigations. In May 2015, Capt. Mushabe and group were netted and the security community attempted to make à coverup but Museveni is reported to have ordered their rearrest. It did not make a difference though as no trial ever took place. The suspect Capt. has a godfather in Col. Charles Tusiime - the guy who forgot the spare tyre during the first Kabamba attack in 1981. The same Col. Tusiime recently stole over a ton of ivory from government strong rooms and the matter was simply swept under the carpet.
18. In April 2015, Stanbic Bank foiled a 2M$ fraud involving a an army officer of the president's inner security and a powerful cabinet minister from western Uganda. The culprit soldier claimed that the said cabinet minister had tasked him to investigate if that account was not being operated by a terrorist. The matter was swept under the cabinet and terrorism scare continued to be the excuse for most of the crimes by security forces.
19. In May 2015, the head of police intelligence in Kampala stole half a kg of illicit drugs out of the one and a half KGS of the exhibit drugs that he had recovered from à suspected Pakistan drug dealer. The matter was swept under the carpet.
20. In January 2016, 80kgs of cocaine worth 13b shillings was stollen from the custody of the Entebbe airport police by the very custodians of çonfiscated drugs. They replaced the stollen drugs with wheat flour. The only action that the regine can take is to transfer the suspects.
21. Last year, the Commandant of the Special Investigatios Division (SID), Charles Kataratambi was suspended over àllegations that he had 'mismanaged' a criminal case by taking a bribe in a pensions case involving Equity Bank.
22. In Kumi district, the Police recovered the money that had been stollen from the bullion vans in Kampala but only to end up stealing the same exhibit money.
23. In Angora -Teso subregion, five police officers stole personal effects of accident victims in the process of rescuing them and among the five suspects is a Cadet officer from whom shillings 2M was recovered. 24. Police is holding Capt. Nyakaringwa an Lt. Che
From the afore going, it can be argued that the rate at which the regime police is loosing guns to alleged criminal gangs is alarmingly high. Also alarmingly is the high the rate of unresolved murders in the country. A report report recently released indicates that by the end of 2015, 96 murders most of which remain unresolved had taken place in Kampala, Entebbe and Mukono alone. Museveni continues to sing about how he brought peace throughout the country such and that Ugandans only die from crude liquor and road accidents. The regime police is faced with poor welfare, sectarianism, nepotism etc amidst outright swindling of public fubds by the few privileged individuals. Those who are not privileged to access and manage public funds opt to look for cash using other illegal means outside the force using the above vices. A similar scenario took root in the army since the late 1980s to this date. Its only the Somali Peace Keeping Mission and the Agricultural console the unprivileged army personnel.
Earlier on, the army officers who held no office and had no access to funds for swindling, resorted to outright robberies in order to catch up with their privileged colleagues who were amassing wealth from public resources. For the first time in the history of Uganda, a senior army officer leave alone a commissioned officer would carry out armed robbery. They targeted banks, Forex Bureaus, cash and goods in transit. Indeed, Museveni's Mustard Seed had been down and it is this same seed that is taking root in the newly privatised regime police thus a District Police Commander to rob, kill for hire, maim, extort, and rob!!!!!
There is no reason for the VIP guards to be footing from their guard posts moreover in the wee hours of the morning. But again why leave their guard posts so early; who would have replaced them at that awkward hour? Why not be ferried to and from using police trucks? Either such guards will have absconded from their duty station or will be on personal errands including robberies. It is also very likely that the force deliberately puts them in a vulunerable situation for sinister motives. Therefore, the alleged upsurge of criminal gangs and attack on policemen could be a ploy by the regime to create a justification for the army to take over civil policing ahead of the February general elections in which Museveni feels cornered so far. The earlier similar attack on such policemen in Busoga had and the subsequent murder of a lead Prosecutor Joan Kagezi gave way to a crackdown on Muslims. On the other hand, such a situation of insecurity presents a justfication for the skyrocketing expenditure on security as evidenced by the recent passing of 50+ billion shillings meant to handle the much anticipated post election violence. Museveni has repeatedly made it very clear that he won't hand over power if he lost the elections thus the 50b is for subduing victorious Ugandans. Otherwise, even if such criminal gangs do exist, its because of the regime police's focus on suppressing and subduing political dissent leaving Ugandans vulnerable to preventable and detectable crimes some of are orchestrated by members of the security forces. The policeproffessional standard unit (PPSU) that was established to deal with errant officers simply transfers the culprits to other locations until the public interest in their cases wanes or simply dismiss them from the force without due court process if they are not from the privileged class.
