{UAH} WHY CHARLES RWOMUSHANA WAS ARRESTED AND RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGES

WHY CHARLES RWOMUSHANA WAS ARRESTED AND RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGES.

Charles Rwomushana is leading political analyst and ardent critic of the Museveni dictatorship. He is famous for appearing on several radio and TV talk-shows where he is reputed for giving accurate analysis of security issues from a political perceptive.  Much as his background as a one time Constituent Assembly (CA) delegate and later on as the Head of Political Intelligence under the President's Office, he is naturally intelligent.  

Moreover, an Intelligence Officer who is not intelligent is a disaster to his country.  Museveni prefers to employ individuals who are naturally dense as his intelligence managers thus the current poor performance.  However, it is the intelligence background that facilitated Museveni's journey to gain the presidency and hold it for the last 30 years.  For the same reason, he tends to pay more attention to both his real and perceived political opponents who have a background of intelligence services.  He puts more emphasis on such targets whose intelligence background is supported by military background thus his distinctive rating of candidates A mama Mbabazi and Dr. Besigye.  

The former has intelligence services background which is absent in the later who is intelligent and popular.  Museveni whose manipulative governance style survives on intelligence and hates anyone who attempts to beat him at his own game.  That is why he has always clashed with some naturally gifted Ugandans who have distinguished themselves in accurately analysing political and security issues; the likes of Charles Onyango Obbo, Ssemujju Ibrahim Nganda, David Poulkol, Gen. Ssejusa, Charles Rwomushana, and a few others before he bought off the likes of Tamale Mirundi and Andrew Mwenda who went to the dogs.

Around the recent festive season when dead bodies of young men were discovered around some beaches of Lake Victoria, Charles Rwonushana was at it again trying to give it an accurate analysis of the probable cause of death.  Among the points of contention surrounding these deaths, he pointed out the fact that the dead bodies were not swollen implying that they had died before drowning. 

He also argued that it is unusual for young male revellers not to be in the company of young females - its only males whose bodies were discovered.  similarly, during Museveni's bush war, its only male orphans who were  attributed to killings by government forces as if females were not being killed. The same dead bodies were reported to be having blood stains and cuts.  As that incident was trending, then came the alleged murder of candidate Mbabazi's head of security, Christopher Aine.  

A son of the late col. Julius Aine - one of the original 27 NRA war veterans who started the bush war with Museveni, Christopher Aine  is wanted by the Police for having effectively fought off the regime police during one of their routine disruption of rival candidate's rally. Again in Ntungamo  his team effectively defended itself from an attack from the Museveni camp hooligans.  Museveni had issued a statement condemning the attack on his supporters and vowed to severely deal with the Christopher 

Aine group before adding that they pay dearly.  Indeed, shortly after Christopher Aine was reportedly kidnapped by the regime police before they reportedly killed him.

 A picture alleged to be of a dead Chris Maine were circulated all over the social media whose source the police attributed it to Charles Rwomushana.  The development became a huge source of concern and a major topic of discussion throughout the country.  On the fateful evening of his kidnap, Charles Rwomushana was driving to WBS TV for a popular political talk show.  If he had made it to the studio, he was expected to give an accurate analysis of both the death at the beach and the Christopher Aine  saga.  Definitely, the regime had to block  him from appearing on the show so that he does not ignite the already volatile situation. 

His usual co-panellist at the WBS TV talk show, Richard Baguma knew in advance that Rwomushana would not make it to the studios and that he would be arrested that evening.  He had been on of the leading proponents of the need for the regime to curtail Rwomushana's explosive  but accurate analysis of the political manoeuvres of the military dictatorship.  That is why at the start of the show when the host introduced the topic of alleged killing of Aine, Richard Baguma gave a big, long and sarcastically ugly laugh.  Shortly after, he fidgeted to  explain how close he and Rwomushana were adding that he had even been his best man during his wedding.  

As Rwomushana was being arrested, the regime communication regulatory body (UCC) had to switch off the WBS TV Station so that explosive topic is not discussed.  A free discussion of the Aine saga would definitely call for examination of the circumstances of the motor accident that killed his father and the general sidelining of Banyankole Bairu army officers.  Actually, shortly before the TV station was switched off, the moderator had hinted on that issue saying that he had in his poses soon astonishing information in that regard that he had intended to share with viewers.  Therefore, the regime had to do all it could that evening in order to block Rwomushana from appearing on the TV talkshow.

After being held incommunicado  at the notorious Special Investigations Department (SID) facility at Kireka in Kampala, Charles Rwomushana was released without charges but instead placed under house arrest at his residence.  The regine police issued a statement claiming that Rwomushana had been held over the source of a dead Aine's pictures and his repeated fanning of tribal sentiments during talk shows.  On the other hand, the regime has for a long time been struggling to identify and neutralise the mysterious Tom Okwalinga - a leading social media critic  of the regime.  

They had all along suspected that it was the same Charles Rwomushana  who was posing as Tom Okwalinga.  By arresting and detaining Rwomushana, they intended to see if the Tom Okwalinga Facebook account would remain active  during that period and indeed it did thus why Rwomushana had to be released without çharges.   The arrest was also meant to give security agencies access to Rwonushana's electronic communication devices (computers and phones) so that they could plant their surveillance gadgets into his devices for future monitoring.
