GEN MUSEVENI; THE BAD SMELL IS COMING FROM YOUR NOSE, CLEAN IT & ALL WILL BE WELL
Dear Gen Museveni, when I watched you on TV rolling your eyes, blaming bail as the reason to why murderers are not apprehended, you reminded me of the famous tale of a certain "muhima" man.
This man, one morning travelled from Kabale to Mbarara and when he reached a place called Nyeihanga, he went for a long call in the nearby bush and in the process of cleaning himself, he touched the faeces.
When he entered the bus, because of too much coldness, he had some flue and tried to clean his nose, only to smear the faeces on his nose. So, as the faeces kept smelling and he couldn't know the source of the smell, he turned to the person seated next and said that "eshi embeho ya nyeihanga nenuunka amazi" literally translated that the coldness of Nyeihanga smells faeces.
Your excellence, you have found yourself in a similar situation, where you can't explain the mess in your own government only to use the law as a scapegoat.
The proposal to remove bail explains your delusion, ignorance, dishonesty or deceit.
Before I go far, allow me to remind you that the murderers of Joan Kagezi, AIGP Felex Kaweesi, Maj Abriga and Afande Kirumira have never been convicted. If the judicial system can't find justice for a senior prosecutor, a senior police officer, or an NRM fanatic like Abriga, then it is rotten beyond repair!
Were the murders of those people granted bail and since disappeared?
Even if suspects were to spend the mandatory six-month on remand as you propose, without evidence, they would have still got bail and the real pigs would be moving scot-free, would you have given justice to the victims families?
Or are you proposing removal of bail as a punishment to suspects since you can't convict them due to lack of evidence?
Your excellence, you have tied yourself on the issue of mob justice to justify removal of bail, in 2020 a total of 540 people were killed by mob and out of these only 43 were murder suspects.
In 2019, a total of 746 people were killed by mob, of these only 23 cases were murder suspects. Even in these cases, these suspects were not on bail. The majority of the mob cases result from theft, robbery & witchcraft which are not capital offences!
In 2020, a total of 14,134 cases of defilement were reported, of these only 5,745 equivalent to 40% were taken to court of which only 984 were concluded with 794 convictions and others dismissed or acquitted.
This means that court handled 17% of the defilement cases brought before it, while police secured convictions for only 5% of the cases reported.
So, Gen Museveni, will you blame the law on the incompetence of police, prosecutors or inefficiencies in court or you will instead clean your house and withdraw the bad law you are proposing?
Your excellence, in 2019 police recorded 4718 cases of murder, by end of year, only 920 cases equivalent to 19% had been taken to court, while 1735 were under investigations and the remaining 2000 cases were not accounted for. Is this weakness a result of bail?
Your excellence, allow me to inform you that of the 60,000 inmates in our prisons over 30,000 are on remand, some having spent there five years. How does this happen if all suspects easily get bail?
Your excellence, allow me to inform you that by end of 2020, according to Annual crime report, we had police canine (dogs) in 70 policing districts instead of 166. What a shame that with a budget of over 6900 billion for security, government can't afford to buy one dog per district!
There are 73 courts without full time prosecutors meaning that police investigate cases but have no prosecutors to take them to courts. We have money to pay 80 ministers but have 70 courts without prosecutors! What a shame!
We have 45 districts without the office of DPP but we have useless RDCs allover, What an embarasment!
We have a shortfall of 833 prosecutors, who are paid a salary less than a million but we have 520 MPs whom we pay over 30 million to do nothing, pure madness!
Lastly your excellence, the whole of Ankole with 13 districts and 4 municipalities has only two high court judges of which only one is resident to handle all cases of capital offences but the same area we have around 45 members of parliament! What a fallacy!
Your excellence, as the muhima man I wrote about in the introduction, the bad smell is in your hands and on your nose; clean them and the bad smell will disappear!
