{UAH} BodaBoda Murder Case in the Monitor

Chickens are Coming home to Roast!

If I remember well Kondoism was master minded and supported by the
helplessness Obote had imposed on society. People were simply
hopelessly in total despair.

Uganda has a high level of unemployment, which offers a huge reserve
of recruits into crime.


Secondary, over the years the police has been known to be a
recruitment reserve for criminals. Put it plainly the entire policing
(NRM) ideology of using criminal elements to do police work was from
the beginning a wrong strategy.


Thirdly militarising society has been going on since the beginning of
the 80s. I have not looked at data of criminal elements. However,
there appears to be a huge number of people that were either recruited
into the army or well trained but not in the army.


**Remarkably of recent, a number of people coming from the North and
East (security guards) are increasingly getting involved into
hard-core criminality.

That brings the fourth element of introduction of security firms as a
very wrong business. In the coming years more of these lowly paid
people will increasingly be involved into serious crime.

Areas where criminality has excelled are;

1. Land that has proved to be a lucrative area of earning huge
amounts of money. (NRM land monetarisation ideology and unforeseen
consequences)

2. The above has introduce land grabbing players into the extortion
business that is also defined in Uganda as Okubatisa (duplicitous
representation) underlying bufeere run by bafeere
(fraudsters)supported also by the people in law enforcement and
judiciary.

3. Motor cycle trade, licensing and ownership is almost informal
generating the second largest crime area ever after land wrangles!
Every week on average 5 people are murdered in this business around
the country! NRM has been using these boda in political mob actions to
date.

4. Motor vehicle trade by Ugandans that has solely depended on
stealing (UK, South Africa) has somewhat scaled down. This was run by
people with attachment to the state to beat URA, Migration and
Customs! Surprisingly very few people (connected) involved in this
business are behind bars. But spare parts trade holds a third area in
the crime league where people scavenge and sell.

5. Mobile money in the law enforcement circles takes the first
place since it is highly reported. Anyhow through okubatisa and
bufeere mobile money transactions has recruited both street (petty
thieves) and white collar (coder, computer programmers) criminals.

6. Then there are petty criminals – goats, pig, matooke, chicken
thieves, cows. This is becoming a major headache in villages around
the country. Given the level of want and need correlated with rapid
social transformation this makes yet a very big group that is a step
ahead of the police and LCI – village people do not easily reveal such
crime due to cultural and family ties as the case is with part 4 and
8!

7. Why Pentecost Church leaders are not labeled as criminals
beats me. But each one of them that gets money by falsely claiming
super natural powers are criminal by all definition

8. The above group is hand in grove with state civil servants who
are involved in stealing hence generating horrible criminality. You
simply have to work with them or lose your life.

Despite law enforcement organs squarely being involved in crime, their
case could be resolved through military order. Uganda has had such
episodes of criminality.

However, NRM is not going to eradicate people's needs and want by use
of any of the above methods.

There's need for local police besides to allow DP, UPC, FDC to
mobilise their youth wings into direct political participation to
divert the youth from being idle.


NRM should stop running the country out of stated national policies
and legislated laws.
