 Dear Ugandans and Uganda’s friends in and outside of United States:

 RE: MY RESPONSE TO THE GROSS ACCUSATIONS BY MR MICHAEL STEPHEN KIMBUGWE, THE SON OF KABAKA’S REPRESENTATIVE MR. FRED KALEMA MUSOKE.

BY: JAMES KABONGE.

 I am taking my turn to respond to Mr. Michael Kimbugwe’s venomous and vicious attack on my character and what I stand for. I am also hurt by going public with this kind of mudslinging which would normally be confined within the local area and resolved amicably. However, I am forced to respond using the same public media that Mr. Kimbugwe chose in order for me to reach the same readership.

Rather than rushing and reacting to each and every one of his personal accounts, I chose to step back and find the real reason why he was compelled to unleash the kind of bitterness displayed and directed at one man, namely, James Kabonge. I have done a lot of soul searching and talked to many people in our local community here in Metro Washington DC, friends and non-friends alike. A handful of people like Mr. John Mayanja of Ggwanga Mujje, Boston, MA  were instantly excited and rushed to congratulate Mr. Kimbugwe for a job well done (see his email posted by Buganda Post on 15 August, 2010 which was also distributed to many Ugandans everywhere). It is regrettable that there was no effort made by Buganda Post to publish such explosive information in its raw form without further journalistic research. Another supporter of Mr. Kimbugwe’s article was Mr. Caroli Mpoza, Chairman of UNAA Washington DC Convention 2010 who mass emailed a lot of people on August 9, 2010 with the following message:

“Mr. Kimbugwe, I would first like to commend you for the guts to investigate the despicable acts that you have unveiled….”

Otherwise, the majority of independent thinkers in and out of Uganda have wrestled with such questions as, “What propelled Mr. Kimbugwe to lash out publicly with such blatant personal false accusations against Mr. Kabonge?  What did James Kabonge do to him to trigger such attack? And what facts does Mr. Kimbugwe have to support his personal statements? If this is all about HRN Nnabagereka, why does Mr. Kimbugwe inject the First Lady of Uganda Janet Museveni in what seems to be a personal revenge against James Kabonge? Is the timing of Kimbugwe’s fiction related to various Uganda conventions taking place in the USA in September one of which is led by James Kabonge? How will James defend or respond to all this? Did Mr. Kimbugwe act alone or was he simply used as a front?” The list goes on because Mr. Kimbugwe’s story is disjointed, full of holes and it raises more questions than answers. It is composed of fragments of conversational pieces based on random memory and questionable quotes.

On Saturday August 7, 2010 after reading Mr. Kimbugwe’s story in the media, one veteran  Ugandan community leader who was at the forefront of UNAA Chicago Convention and a current active participant in the reconstruction of Buganda wrote:

“Mr. Kimbugwe….I have been forced to dismiss your entire document. Your statement about the Electoral process in Chicago is a fuss and total innuendos designed to divert attention from your own Washington DC local issues. It is based on rumors and only you can dismiss the facts”

As for Mr. Kimbugwe’s so called good friend from college and an expert in cyber counter terrorism working in the United States of Defense who helped Kimbugwe in his investigations, the same Ugandan added the following comment:

“Mr. Kimbugwe, the above cannot be true because no Department of Defense expert/employee in counter terrorism can risk his/her security accreditation to utilize government resources to help a “friend” in a private sector !!. This is illegal for your information. This cannot be true and as a matter of fact if anyone took issue with you to the Department of Defense … this could not be a pretty outcome for your friend”

Please note that this so called Kimbugwe’s friend (if there is such a friend) is the main accomplice in Kimbugwe’s IT investigative exercise. Working with this so called counter terrorism expert, Mr. Kimbugwe claims that he was able to determine that I was “Procovia Musoke” who sent a derogatory email about HRN Nnabagereka using my computer identified by the IP No 64.25.92.98 Ladies and gentlemen, bear in mind that this finding is the central accusation of Mr. Kimbugwe’s attack. I want to inform everyone of you that this is where Mr. Kimbugwe rubber stamped his own title of MR.LIAR. This is why:

The IP # he provided for my computer is incorrect. Anyone of you or anybody with basic IT knowledge can do the same thing using the original email header received (not a forwarded copy). My real American Online IP No is 64.12.206.41 I have had this same account for years and my IP number has remained the same.  Here is proof of my own IP number:

 The abusive email about NRN Nnabagereka sent by Proscovia Musoke shows that the computer IP number of the sender was NO 172.29.96.204) using Yahoo IPO server 98.138.85.208 and the email originated from Los Angeles, CA  area, approx 3000 miles from Rockville, MD where my computer is located. Here is proof copy of my finding:

If Baganda don’t control Nnaabageraka, the bitch will begin to imagine tha=

t she can control Buganda.

 None of these two IPs, mine or Proscovia’s matche what Kimbugwe and his IT expert want us to believe !!!!!!!!

Therefore, I can solemnly swear that I AM NOT PROSCOVIA MUSOKE AND I DID NOT SEND THAT EMAIL ABOUT NNABAGEREKA BECAUSE I DON’T LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND MY COMPUTER IP NUMBER IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE PROVIDED BY INVESTIGATOR KIMBUGWE AND HIS COUNTER TERRORIST EXPERT.

We may need to direct the attention to California to find out who the real culprit is. Can Mr.  Kimbugwe’s glamorized IT expert help?

In another one of his expertise claims, Mr. Kimbugwe boasts that he drove past my house, took pictures, then he and his “friend” used “thermal imaging” technology to pinpoint the location of my computer in the house and what I was doing. Ladies and gentlemen, we might not be as sophisticated in these technological advances as Mr. Kimbugwe since he seems to be a cut above the rest of us.  However, we know enough to understand that thermal imaging is currently limited for use by the United States government.   Kimbugwe better be prepared to produce this friend who seems to be massively abusing his position in government although commonsense tells us that his IT friend must be IMAGINARY.

That’s why On Tuesday August 17, 2010, the same informed Ugandan added on a further comment by saying:

“I am shocked to see such level of fabrication labeled against James Kabonge. It was the most ridiculous allegation I have ever seen about a senior member of our community….”

Again on Tuesday August 17, 2010 another equally well known Ugandan wrote:

“1st precondition: The accuser, Michael should use his very same medium to apologize, retract accusations / aspersions and explain his motivation / evidence pertaining to original email…”

 Many have understandably been cautious not to credit Mr. Kimbugwe or discredit me by rushing to judgment. The community has been both mute and tense pending my response because Mr. Kimbugwe didn’t realize the domino effect of his act.  After this response, I hope all of you who read Mr. Kimbugwe’s ruthless story on the internet and the version in Buganda Post which was posted on August 11, 2010 will benefit from the sobering facts behind Mr. Kimbugwe’s risky and dangerous outburst.

Since the release of Mr. Michael Kimbugwe’s compilation of lies, I have steadily taken 6 steps within the community to set the record straight by gathering facts, corresponding directly and indirectly with Mr. Kimbugwe and responding to a suggested meeting between me and Mr. Kimbugwe. Rather than summarizing what I did, I will share with you excerpts of my correspondence which I sent out to some select community members at different days. This in essence, will provide all readers with the scope of my reaction  and steps I have taken as well as pending actions I plan in the coming weeks.  I apologize for its length, but it is critically important that the world understands the danger I faced as a result of man’s unprovoked attack.

MY STEP NO 1:

On August 11, 2010, I sent the following email to Mr. Michael Kimbugwe and copied it to a number of others in the community:

Dear Mr. Michael Kimbugwe:

Looking at your exhaustive public document about me for the first time, I asked myself the following questions:

 1.    What was the motive behind this attack?

2.    If justified, what credentials does Mr. Kimbugwe have as an investigator?

3.    What was the incentive for Mr. Kimbugwe’s friend, an expert in cyber counter terrorism in risking his position in the United States Department of Defense and getting involved in this “hearsay” story? If so, will Mr. Kimbugwe be able to produce this friend when ordered to defend the gross violations of his actions?

 It is utterly inconceivable that Michael Kimbugwe, Mr. Kalema Musoke‘s son, Vice President of Ggwanga Mujje Washington DC, Vice Chairman of UNAA Conference Organizing Committee in Washington DC for 2010, can publicly issue a fabricated, slanderous and personal story of this magnitude about me. Coincidentally, Mr. Kimbugwe is the same man who worked for me for over two years. It has not only shocked me but also horrified those who know me as well as he does. I strongly feel that you did not act alone in issuing this story. However, you will eventually find out that you were wrongly used and ill advised.

 I agonized over  whether I should respond to you  or not but then, if I didn’t it would leave the door wide open for others to cast doubt about my character based on Mr. Kimbugwe’s purely personal accounts. Since your story was public, I have no choice but to briefly respond to it publicly as well. Right now, I can only think of the recent three events between you and me that might have prompted you to attack me in such vicious manner:

 1.    I fired you after working for me for two years.

2.    You recently forwarded me your updated resume to see if I can hire you back, or help you to find a job, and I haven’t done either. A copy of your resume is attached here in case you forgot (I attached  a copy of his resume as a reminder)

3.    You illegally got married in California, and I advised you that I got a call from people inquiring your whereabouts. The woman you married is in hiding, and people who helped you are in jail. I was in position to provide all the information the callers needed but I spared you the agony. But as of now, it seems that you might be a fugitive.

 Needless to say is that we have not only been friends but I have contributed significantly to your professional life and personal protection here in Metro DC. That is the foundation upon which you have based most of your accounts contained in your regrettable public story. I can guarantee you that I will seek advice from my sources and decide further steps I need to take in order to protect myself, my family and prevent you from hurting others who may be connected to you the way I have been. You will find yourself being asked to provide facts for everything you wrote as well as bringing forward those who assisted you in your so called “investigations”

In the meantime, I would like to issue the following in response to set the public record straight:

1.          My name is James Kabonge; I have never used any other name or an alias for all the years I have been in the United States.  In other words, I have never tried to conceal my identity and I never wrote the email using the name Pross Musoke as you allege.

2.          Yes, I have talked to you countless times, I have talked to HRN Nnabagereka and I talk to a lot of people and groups in our community. Like anyone else in life, I have harmless private conversations and I make comments when I know the microphone is turned off.  You should respect that. However,

3.          I never had any conversation with you about the first Lady of Uganda Janet Museveni. I didn’t go to Chicago, and I don’t know what happened to Uganda’s First Lady over there apart from what we all read from different media. I hold you and your advisers responsible for any possible consequences resulting from this serious and baseless accusation connecting me to Uganda’s national figure Mrs. Janet Museveni. I am going to consult my attorney, and law enforcement for advice on this matter. Michael, you have put my life and your life in danger because of this statement. It can be proven that you are a liar.

4.          Yes, I was a Vice-Chairman for UNAA Orlando 2008, I agree with you. I quit six (6) months before the convention, because, I found out that the people I was working with had different agenda than I expected. Their agenda continued to Chicago.  (See attachment) (I attached the information for Michael as stated here). This why I cut my self off and didn’t go to Orlando or Chicago for the UNAA Conventions. It is the same reason why I will not attend the upcoming UNAA Convention in DC next month.

Mr. Michael Kimbugwe, I am sure that your public pronouncements will be firmly condemned by all those who think independently. Alternatively, I encourage those who support your story to go ahead with their threats of lawsuits against me because I would love to face them in court.

 James Kabonge

RESULT: (To this day, I have not received any direct or indirect response from Mr. Michael Kimbugwe)

I continued with my fact finding efforts along with other helpers before taking the next action.

MY STEP NO 2:

On August 14, I sent another email below to Mr. Michael Kimbugwe)

Dear Mr. Michael Kimbugwe.

I received your criminal records to share with the public since this is the way your mode of communication (see attachments). (I attached two records of two copies of criminal records about Mr. Kimbugwe which are available from Montgomery and Prince George Counties Public Records). I have also shared it with others who have expressed interest in attending your court hearing set for October 21st, 2010.

Mr. Kimbugwe, I wish I searched your record before I hired you in 2004. Regrettably, I mistook you as being an honest and trustworthy young man, a son of my so called friend Kalema-Musoke Kabaka’s representative in Washington DC. If I did, I would have never put myself in a position where you took advantage of your position as my office manager and manipulated my company’s loan transactions to your advantage. Your crookedness did not come to light until 2007 when I fired you. Of course that action came too late to save my company from major financial losses. My blunder in all this is that I let my culture take over to a point where I took you in as my son and trusted friend.  I helped you to get out of the Ghetto, in SE Washington DC, and moved you to the more desirable neighborhoods of Montgomery County, Maryland where you have resided ever since.

Your tricks involved using my office facility and conspiring with others to close real estate transactions without my knowledge and pocketing the commissions denying my company the income.  My company became insolvent mainly as a result of your conduct as the mastermind behind such scam. I was left with a lot of liability and borrowed heavily to stay afloat but I was not able to save the company or repay my debts.

You caused me and my family financial harm which persists to this day as I struggle to financially uplift myself once more.

As if that was not enough,  you have now proceeded to destroy me,  my family and all those who may be associated with me by fabricating your well circulated personal story which has also just been released, unedited,  in The Buganda Post issue of August 11th, 2010. Surprisingly, there was no effort made by the publisher to cross examine your personal accounts before publication which greatly serves your motives.

It will probably come as a shock to you that HRN Nnabagereka knows me very well and I happen to be a member of her extended family.  I am married to her cousin, and I am the president of HRN Nnabagereka’s organization here in USA. At this moment, I know HRN Nnabagereka believes your story but the truth will come out one day.

As the facts stand now, it defies logic to think that you have appointed yourself to the position of Chief Investigator while at the same time you are being investigated and sought by the US Law enforcement agency.  This alone gives greater meaning to the saying that “You don’t throw stones when you live in a glass house”  Your adornments as The son of Kabaka’s representative in Washington DC, Vice President of Ggwanga Mujje Washington DC, Vice President of UNAA  DC Planning Committee provide you with great cover for anyone who might question your  integrity. However, when the dust settles, they will realize that it is all a façade.

You really wanted to substantiate and provide more validity and substance in your story by injecting in the story about my involvement with anything that transpired when Uganda’s First Lady Janet Museveni came to the US during the UNAA Chicago Convention.  That is pretty serious and risky stuff Mr. Kimbugwe.  You took your greatest chance here and I am not sure what it will lead to. You really short for the sky.

 My opinion at this moment is that you are a very ambitious and young man seeking to use every tool at your disposal to make a name for yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. However, when you resort to destroying others in order to move up, it might work in the short run but may not be a sustainable approach.  Therefore, as the famous song goes, you have to take a look at the man in the mirror and try to change your ways before it all backfires. You can get to the positions you seek or dine with the rich and famous without resorting to dirty and dangerous tricks.  Do you know how you can place my life and that of my family in danger by what you have written if it were true? Do you know how many threats I have received after your story?

I will not threaten you with anything here or try to scare you. All I know is that I will do whatever is legally possible to protect myself and my name as well as provide facts as I am doing here in order to clear my name. I am still seeking advice from others. You forced me to go that route and I will move steadily and relentlessly against all odds. The ball is in your court.

James Kabonge

RESULT: (To this day, I have not received any response to this email directly or indirectly from Mr. Kimbugwe)

On August 16, 2010, after those two above unanswered emails, one concerned community member contacted me and offered to volunteer as a mediator. Below is the content of his email:

Sent: Mon, Aug 16, 2010 7:32 pm

Subject: REF: AN APPEAL FOR CEASEFIRE

Banange James ne Michael,

 I am writing this email only to the two of you and copied to only (two names deleted) You have the option to consider it or ignore it but it should not be for public discussion.

The community and I have been following the recent events with much sadness naye kaakati ndaba ebintu webituuse sibirungi nakatono era bituweebula ffenna. For that reason, as a leader, a parent and a friend I am humbly appealing to both of you to CEASE FIRE and try to get together privately to cool the situation for the good of our community, yourselves and your families.

 While in Northcote, at Makerere University, we had a motto which goes ” WE EITHER WIN OR THEY LOOSE”. My appeal is that neither side should adopt this motto as it appears to be the goal at this moment. At the end of the day we are all one and we need each other.

 Mbasaba mubuntu mukakane naye tuswaala. We are at your disposal if there is way we can help to amicably water to this burning bush.

 Nze owamwe,

I returned a gesture by calling the writer above who showed great concern in what was going on. It seemed that Mr. Kimbugwe called him too although I didn’t know the details of their conversation. After this voluntary mediator talked to both of us, he followed up with the email below:

Banange James ne Michael,

 I want to thank both of you for considering my email to you and taking the time to call me last evening and I believe that was a good start.

If it was not for (name omitted) to ask me, I was in the dark.

 That said, your calls gave me the chance to hear first hand from each of you. I am going to consult with (two names deleted) and I will get back to both of you soonest. In the meantime, I am requesting you to reconsider agreeing to a meeting with us without pre-conditions.

 Owamwe (name deleted)

 MY STEP NO: 3

My email response was as follows:

Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 10:48 AM

Subject Re: REF: CEASE FIRE APPEAL

Thank you for the two emails and phone calls regarding Investigator Kimbugwe’s unwarranted and vicious publicized personal attack. I am sure that you and Kimbugwe’s click finally realize the gravity of this act. Although it was intended to destroy me and what I stand for, it is bound to backfire and also affect our Ugandan community in ways that Investigator Kimbugwe and his advisors never envisioned.

 I can firmly and irrevocably respond to your seemingly reconciliatory tone by saying that I cannot attend your hosted private meeting with Kimbugwe without conditions or independent witnesses. I know that some of those who may be posing as his invited mediators may be the very architects of his senseless document.

In other words, I will only consider the meeting ONLY IF MY CONDITIONS ARE MET.

Let me briefly elaborate and I will state my conditions thereafter:

1.      Almost six days after investigator Kimbugwe released the inflammatory document inside and outside of the USA, you and others did not come out to question or protest his act. Why? While my friends and I reacted with shock, Kimbugwe actually received a few supportive responses especially when The Buganda Post released the information in its entirety without cross examining what was written about me.

2.      In his writings, Investigator Kimbugwe escalated an already explosive personal attack by attaching the First Lady of Uganda Janet Museveni to this nonsense. Not only did he seek to isolate me from Buganda but also he sought to place me at odds with Uganda’s leadership for the wrong reasons. Again, I had nothing to do with Janet Museveni’s issues during the UNAA convention.

3.      Investigator Kimbugwe worked for me for two years as I stated before. I know what his writing abilities are.  This document is certainly not his sole production; it was a team effort and a blessing of those who exploited his narrow view. However, he made his bed, now he has to lie in it.

I currently live under threats from those who believed his personal unsubstantiated tale. They think that I am an evil who seeks to humiliate HRN Nnabagereka and Buganda as well as insult the First Lady Janet Museveni.  Therefore, I intend to continue defending myself legally and put all the facts forward publicly. One of my friends who read Investigator Kimbugwe’s story had this to write:

“It was the most ridiculous allegation I have ever seen about a senior member of our community”

Another one wrote the following:

“The accuser, Michael should use his very same medium to apologize, retract accusations/aspersions and explain his motivation/evidence pertaining to original email”

 If his story is proven to be infested with lies and he cannot stand by it, others have called for his resignation from the community leadership positions he currently holds in Ggwangamujje and UNAA. He is destined to be a liability despite his claimed royal upbringing. And if we are all trying to restore the dignity of Buganda Kingdom with people like Investigator Kimbugwe, then we have a problem.

Therefore, my conditions for the meeting are:

 1.    Kimbugwe should come out and retract his accusations publicly in writing and provide such retraction copy to Buganda Post. However, before issuing such statement, I must have the draft which meets with my satisfaction. Only if this happens will I be able to “Cease Fire”

2.    As a member of Ggwangamujje, I move the motion that Investigator Kimbugwe resigns his position of Vice President until he is cleared of his outgoing criminal records. The bylaws of Ggwangamujje stipulate this condition.

3.    I will continue taking legal steps including filing a police report in view of the threats I continue to receive and other dangers I may face. I am also in the process of preparing a rebuttal for Buganda Post and other media.

4.    I will attend your suggested meeting with my own three witnesses/observers who may include a legal advisor.

 Once again, thanks XXXXXX. It would be foolish of me to throw a stone at someone who attacks me with a bazooka. My firm stand is justified.  I am not seeking to destroy Investigator Kimbugwe like he did with me. I just want him to be accountable for his actions and face the consequences. However, he and his advisers have the power to reverse all this in time.

James Kabonge.

RESULT: No response from Mr. Kimbugwe to the voluntary mediator or directly to me.

MY STEP NO: 4

I became impatient and sent a follow up below:

I and my group want to have answer by 12.00 Noon EST tomorrow August 19,2010 so that we can plan accordingly. If I don’t get answer from you by that time, I will assume that you and Mr. Michael Kimbugwe are not willing to start a cease fire process. We will have no choice but to move ahead with our plans.

Mr. XXX

 Please read Ggwanga Mujje by-laws, Article 6 under Directors, Section 1, titled Number and Qualification. It states in the middle of the paragraph that” These will be persons (directors) who are registered as members of the Organization during the preceding twelve months, are of good standing within the Organization and the Uganda Community in general”. You and some members of Ggwanga Mujje know very well what Mr. Kimbugwe did by fabricating false stories-reports about me and my family, and probably some of the members were part of it. Based on that, Mr. Kimbugwe is not in good standing. Finally, I sent you two criminal cases involving Mr. Kimbugwe in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. These two cases are in public records, and anyone of you can access them. Mr. Kimbugwe has a court hearing October 21, 2010 (this hearing is open to anyone who may want to attend).

 I am going to keep on fighting one level at a time until justice is served, because my life and my family’s are in danger.

MY STEP NO 6

I sent the letter below as a last resort in trying to bring Mr. Kimbugwe to the table:

Mr. XXX

 The first email you sent to me on Monday 8/16/10 indicated that you stepped forward to mediate between me and Mr. Kimbugwe. In that email, you gave me the option of considering your suggestion or ignore it. I chose not to ignore it and I provided you with my prompt responses which are on record.

 Last night, Wednesday 8/18/10 at 11:26 pm (EST) I sent you an email in which I requested that Mr. Kimbugwe should indicate through you whether he is willing to proceed with fulfilling my conditions or not. He had until today at 12:00 Noon EST to respond. You will agree that a “Yes” or “No” response from Mr. Kimbugwe should take seconds. I generously allowed him over 13 hours to do so. IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT HE WILL SINCE I HAVEN’T HEARD FROM YOU.

 I would like you to re-affirm that your role as voluntary mediator still stands as I move forward with my next steps against Mr. Kimbugwe for fabricating false reports on which is destroying my life and my family in the whole world. I do not have the luxury of time like he does since I am the one who was placed in this dangerous predicament.  I have to act fast while the accusations are still fresh in people’s minds.

 As a member of Ggwanga Mujje Washington DC in good standing and a co founder of Gwanga Mujje Washington DC, I move a motion that Mr. Kimbugwe steps down as Vice President of Ggwanga Mujje immediately in line with the governing bylaws pertaining to office holders of the organization. Mr. Kimbugwe should step down by COB tomorrow and hand over all Ggwanga Mujje properties the Ggwanga Mujje executive, he cannot hold the office when he and others have made false statements and also while he is under criminal investigation. Mr. Kimbugwe should have discussed his report with the parties concerned, but he decided to go on air waives which violated my privacy. I am going to continue to seek advice from people who believe in me, and work on Mr. Kimbugwe accordingly.

James Kabonge.

Unfortunately the very same day, and as we can all understand, the mediators threw in the towel and sent the following email:

IN CONCLUSION

Ladies and gentlemen, first I want to thank those who unsuccessfully tried to mediate. I am also grateful for those of you who have held your judgements before reading this  unusual format of my response. This event has identified who my real friends, thanks to Mr. Kimbugwe. If it wasn’t for my security concerns both in the USA and Uganda related to Mr. Kimbugwe’s globalized story, I would have handled this issue outside of public view with the assistance of our ever resourceful community. However, this was too shocking and extremely too dangerous to be handled with kid gloves. Mr. Kimbugwe sought to demonize me in Buganda Kingdom and basically make me a persona non grata in Uganda. Only Kimbugwe knows why he did this and who sent him on that mission. Therefore, those who hastily applauded Kimbugwe’s story like Mr. John Mayanja and Mr. Caroli Mpoza, may consider re-evaluating their comments and possibly issue new ones.

I am proud that our community especially here in Metro DC is both diverse and vibrant although we will continue to harbor some bad apples in our barrel. We are not forced to belong to any one organization or attend any one church. We can overcome many seemingly insurmountable problems if we don’t let our personal philosophies or preferences turn us into adversaries  We have to be wary of those who wave one flag during daylight and pick up another in the midnight hour.  They scream great support in the microphone and whisper different words in private.  My accuser may not be very far from that description.

Brandishing verbal machetes at each other humiliates us and degrades our community.  The only beneficiaries in all this are those who seek to destroy and silence our voices using hypocritical double dippers like Michael Kimbugwe and his manipulators.

Only Mr. Kimbugwe will decide how far he wants to go with this.  He risks losing credibility (if any) and the credibility of the organizations he represents. Is he man enough to admit or retract his fabrications? Or rather, will his users allow  him?

I know that the bylaws of Ggwanga Mujje DC where he officiates as Vice President are not very different from those of UNAA. In UNAA Mr. Kimbugwe doubles as VP UNAA Convention Organizing Committee 2010 and also a Board Member.  Those are all important positions governed by the bylaws that stipulate that officers can only be individuals in good standing and without criminal records. I am pleased to announce that on Thursday 19, 2010, I received an email from the Secretary of Ggwanga Mujje DC informing me of their decision to call an urgent meeting and review Mr. Kimbugwe’s position in light of what they have learned and in compliance with the bylaws. I welcome that as a step in the right direction.

My message to Investigator Mr. Michael Kimbugwe is that I will not be ignored. I have resolved to continue my self defense and take further steps until I am satisfied with the ultimate results. The speed at which I pursue Mr. Kimbugwe will be dictated by the resources and time available to me.

I have all the hard, original copies of letters, emails including Mr. Kimbugwe’s work resume along with printed copies of the criminal acts he is accused of in Maryland. I have held peoples names and their email addresses from being published in order to respect privacy.

For the record, I am proud to say that while I am not perfect or that I work harder than everyone else, I have always contributed to the Ugandan community efforts in general as well as Buganda Kingdom. I will continue to do so at every opportunity.

According to the  event program at www.ttabamiruka.com, the Baganda conference will be opened on September 4, 2010 by none other than the Lion of Buganda, Ssabasajja Kabaka, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II following the introduction of the Buganda Royal Family. Below are extracts of the program which this writer has copied from www.ttabamiruka.com.

July 28, 2010

We, the Kabaka’s Representatives in North America (Canada and the USA), would like to respond to your article entitled “Questions as Moses Wilson Thanks Kabaka’s Representatives” published on July 25,2010. We would like to clarify and refute some of the misleading, speculative, and damaging information that is contained in your over-referenced posting.  

1. First of all, you expressed concern in your publication that the press release issued by the Kabaka’s Representatives on July 23, 2010, did not specify whether the “official communication from Buganda Kingdom administration” was sent to the Kabaka’s Representatives by the “Kabaka, the Katikkiro or another person in Buganda Kingdom.” It might have been an oversight on our part not to mention that the communication we received was issued by the Katikkiro. However, since the Katikkiro is the leader of the “Buganda Kingdom Administration”, we assumed that it would be fairly obvious to you that the Katikkiro was the source of this communication. Certainly it is naive on your part to suggest that Ssabasajja Kabaka issued the communication because that would not be his role. The Kabaka is not normally engage in the mundane day-to-day operations of the Buganda Kingdom Administration.
2. Secondly, you indicated in your publication that there were “ongoing conference calls and arguments between Kabaka’s Representatives, UNAA organizers and certain political activists about Katikkiro’s letter of July 0,2010.” You also speculated that “it appears as if the press release by the Kabaka’s Representatives intentionally avoided mentioning Katikkiro as a compromise with certain political interests.” You are simply wrong because we do not know of any Kabaka’s Representatives who participated or engaged in any conference calls with “UNAA organizer and certain political activists about the Katikkiro’s letter.” It would be worthwhile for you provide names of any Kabaka’s Representatives who engaged in such conference calls to prove that what you have written has merit. Please understand that these allegations that you are making about Kabaka’s Representatives are baseless and untrue. These are wild allegations that your publication should not be engaged in, if you claim to work for the good of Buganda.
3. Thirdly, you also asked why the Kabaka’ Representatives did not report the Katikkiro’s message to the general public for 3 days. We would like to mention that the Katikkiro’s letter was specifically addressed to Kabaka’s Representatives. Please understand that not all the information sent to Kabaka’ s Representatives by the Buganda Kingdom Administration is automatically released to the general public because that would not be appropriate. It usually requires a coordinated, joint effort by the Kabaka’s Representatives to issue a press release. There is no specific time-frame within which the Kabaka’s Representatives have to respond or to communicate such information to the public.
4. Finally, we, the Kabaka’s Representatives, believe that your publication, the Buganda Post, would he more useful and more credible if you disclosed the source of the information you publish. Your reporters or writers should reveal their names; otherwise one might conclude that your publication is simply engaged name calling and peddling lies and innuendoes. This sort of smear campaign is very destructive to the development of Buganda.

Interestingly enough, the Kabaka’s representative to Washington DC and UNAA promoter, Fred Kalema-Musoke did not sign the press release. We have not yet been able to establish if was not available to do so or if he was simply rejecting the position of the “Buganda Kingdom Administration” (Kabaka, Katikkiro or both). Another point of possible confusion is that the press release was sent out on Jul 23, 2010 but it is dated July 24, 2010.

Mr. Kabuye says that Ekiba Kibe later inquired with the leaders of UADA who told him that the UNAA organizers were lying. He finishes his broadcast saying: “Ffe tetujja kulanga bintu bya UNAA, ebyo mugende mubirangire ku Radio Rwakitura, eno radio ya Buganda.” (“We are not going to announce anything fof UNAA. Go put your announcements on Radio Rwakitura, this is a Buganda radio.”)

In addition to the above Ugandan convetions, the Baganda also have Ttabamiruka ’10, a conference which is organized and sponsored by Ggwangamujje NY/NJ. Based on the information from www.ttabamiruka.com, the Baganda conference is focused on Buganda and Baganda issues.

As of early February, the principals in UDII were Messrs James Kabonge, Michael Muganga, Kawunde Miti, Fred Kambugu and Dennis Nnyondo, all Baganda Boston (see “UDII Members Respond To Baganda UN Demonstration Story”). The official UDII site, www.ugandansinthediaspora.org does not provide any information on the current leadership or membership of the organization.

Ugandans in the Diaspora International Inc. (UDII)

Washington D. C. Labor Day Weekend Conference

Ugandans in the Diaspora International Inc. is organizing a conference on Labor Day weekend – September 3rd – 5th, 2010 at the Westin Washington National Harbor Hotel, in Washington, D.C.

The theme is “The Urgent Need to Effect Political Change in Uganda”

Key topics that will be discussed at the conference include:

1. The current political situation in Uganda in light of the upcoming elections

2. The abuse of the electoral system, and criminalization of the political system

3. Human right abuses

4. The relationship between the Ugandan and the American Governments

5. The massive corruption and misuse of U.S. and other foreign aid to Uganda

The US government has been one of the biggest supporters of the Uganda regime for over 20 years. Without this critical support, the regime would not have survived for the two decades that it has been in power. However, there are now welcome signs that this unconditional support is far from being a permanent fixture. These signs include recent public pronouncements by the US government on democratic governance in Uganda.

Per announcements on Ugandan internet discussion groups, the Uganda government is preparing a massive lobbying effort in Washington, D. C., during and following the UNAA Convention, largely in response to actions taken by the current U.S. Administration, and Congress. The Uganda Government is sending a big delegation to the UNAA Convention which will stay behind after the event to continue its lobbying efforts, at Uganda taxpayer expense, especially with regards to next year’s elections in Uganda. A demonstration against this extravagancy is planned to take place during the conference in Washington, D.C.

It is therefore incumbent on the Ugandans in the United States to inform, educate and prepare the Washington DC establishment about the true nature of the situation in Uganda. This conference is part of this effort. The conference will bring together experts from various organizations, both private and public to discuss the Uganda political situation in detail. UDII will make arrangements for various opposition members attending the Convention to meet with key people in Washington DC to explore how the U.S. government can strengthen the opposition in Uganda in order to foster true democracy in Uganda.

A conference program will be forthcoming. If you plan to attend, please reserve a room at the Westin Washington National Harbor Hotel, phone number, 1-888-627-8104 http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/UGI03A

In preparation for the Conference, please read NRM’s original Ten-Point Program, available on several websites.

On June 21, 2010, Buganda Post published reports that certain supporters of  Ugandan political parties and factions in the USA conspired to circulate a fake email attacking the Nnabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda (see “Uganda Politicians in USA Join To Attack Nnabagereka“).  Our latest information suggests that the sender is in fact a lady member of a small team of individuals mostly including sympathizers of Olara Otuunu, Besigye, DP and UNAA/NRM  and DP (the Uganda First Click). Their common interest is limiting the Buganda nationalist movement.

In the meantime, in his June 22, 2010 Ekiba Kibe program, Mr. Robert Kabuye owe Boston  spoke about the fake and disgraceful email. Without revealing details, Mr. Kabuye said that his engineers had found out that the internet IP address on the fake email was used to send out UNAA convention emails before.  Mr. Kabuye’s information is in line with the recent findings by Buganda Post technical volunteers (see “Uganda Politicians in USA Join To Attack Nnabagereka“).

For at least 3 weeks now, Mr. Kabuye has been warning his listeners that UNAA supporters in Washington DC had a plan to use Nnabagereka as a weapon to do a Kayunga 2 on the Kabaka of Buganda and stop him from coming to Ttabamiruka in the USA. At this time, it appears that the battle lines are clearly drawn between loyalist Baganda and UNAA/NRM (with quiet support from UPC, FDC and DP-Mao). The loyalist Baganda expect Kabaka to be at Ttabamiruka to assure Obuganda that he is ready to lead them even in the worst situations. The “Uganda First” groups are fighting for the Nnabagereka to come to UNAA, to force the Lion of Buganda to stay home, isolated from the powerful Buganda loyalists. This sinister plan to control Kabaka’s movements by remote control is what loyalist Baganda are calling Kayunga 2.

As Mr. Kabuye says in his June 1, 2001 Ekiba Kibe broadcast,  Buganda flags were barred from the ceremony. And the three “real” princes  of Buganda who were supposed to be the official guests were humiliated when a huge NRM flag was hang over the high table where they sat.  The abuse of members of  Buganda’s royal family did not stop there.  Fred Kalema-Musoke and Mr.  Chris Kizito (the Chairman of Ggwanga Mujje DC) refused a “real” princess and real sister of the Baganda princes  at the high table to enter without paying simply because they know her to be very pro-Buganda. Click on Ekiba_Kibe01Jun10 to listen to the June 1, 2010 Ekiba Kibe broadcast.

Maybe the most shocking thing is that the Kabaka’s representative and his people seemed to do everything in their power to make Buganda Day a Ugandan fashion show and party. In addition to the NRM flags, Prince Kalema-Musoke told the audience that it was unfortunate that ambassador Kamunanwire was not able to attend.  Yet he never mentioned that Kabaka’s representatives from Boston or New York. Prince Kalema-Musoke also encouraged everyone to make sure that they attend UNAA in September 2010, even if Kabaka Mutebi chooses to attend Ttabamiruka in New Jersey.  Then came the real shocker. The usually humble activities at Buganda Day became a real party when a fashion show of American hip clothes started, mostly tiny miniskirt dresses and skimpy blouses. The hot fashion show was later followed by hot dancing and celebration.

The annual Buganda Day event was originally started to remember the attack on Ssekabaka Muteesa II’s Palace on May 24, 1966 and the exile and murder that followed, by Milton Obote’s government. Over the years, the organizers of Buganda Day have displayed the Buganda flag, honored Baganda elders in attendance, made speeches about  the occupation of Buganda, eaten dinner and watched some traditional Baganda dancers. But the message was always clear: get together as Baganda to remember the suffering that the Kabaka and his subjects have seen since 1996. This year the whole things was turned a party where even Buganda flags were not allowed, since it could annoy the NRM government.

    It was a warm, slightly breezy July evening at the Civic Center in Glendale, Arizona, next to Phoenix, as the large banquet room filled to near-capacity with 500 well-dressed young adults representing a variety of nations-from Germany to South Korea, from Lebanon and Brazil to Canada and the Cayman Islands.     

Their constant smiles reflected both joy and a sense of relief at having reached a major academic milestone: completion of an on-line University of Phoenix international degree program.  

            The pre-graduation day reception and dinner featured the customary welcoming speeches, along with the more uncommon performances by Native Americans of traditional warrior “spirit dances.”  Then, another speech or two, a few more colorful dances, followed on stage by a slim young man in an earth-toned pullover shirt adorned with depictions of stately giraffes.

            As the personal story begins to unfold from the soft-spoken student from Uganda, the clank of silverware on the white linen-covered dinner tables fades, and the slight undertow of murmuring voices vanish into silence.

Walakira “Robert” Kisakye, 26, tells about his late father, Vincent, who as a teenager becomes the pen pal of a 10-year-old American girl named Lisa, as a result of her visit to the Parker Pen Pavilion at the World’s Fair in New York City in 1964.   

Over the years, the letter-writing flows on and Lisa comes to know and love Vincent, his wife, and their two daughters and son. In 1971, life in Uganda takes a brutal turn as a military coup installs Idi Amin as the country’s tyrannical ruler.  Vincent writes to Lisa of his people’s suffering, of his losing a small piece of land, and that his only work is making bricks by hand.  

The banquet room of fellow students and guests comes to a standstill.  Even the wait staff in their crisp black attire cease all activity, standing quiet and attentive, focused on Robert Kisakye as he continues relating his incredible journey leading to this July night in America.   

Somehow, he says, his father is able to come to New York in 1974 to finally meet his pen pal, then twenty.  Lisa and her family take Vincent everywhere, and he especially enjoys the United Nations visit.  After an emotional farewell, he returns to Uganda where, in 1979, Idi Amin is deposed.  Four years later, Vincent dies, and his widow assumes the correspondence until she passes away in 1999.  The letters to Lisa continue at the hand of the son, 16-year-old Walakira, also known as “Robert.”   

Meanwhile, Lisa fulfills her ambition to become a medical doctor, marries, has a family, and moves to Arizona-all the while maintaining contact with her second-generation pen pal in Africa.    

Although conditions since the tumultuous reign of Idi Amin in Uganda improve, life for its 31 million residents is a struggle, with half the country living below the international poverty line of $1.25 (U. S.) a day.  

Established in Chandler as a family practitioner, Dr. Lisa Wright and her husband, James, attempt to adopt Robert, but Ugandan law prohibits it.  Robert hungers for a formal education, and the Wrights consider enrolling him at Arizona State University, but the Ugandan government denies an exit visa.  

Undeterred, the Wright’s find the ideal solution at the University of Phoenix and its internationally respected on-line program. They pay for Robert’s entire tuition and enroll him in the information technology curriculum.  This brings the immediate bonus of making him employable at a telecommunications company in Uganda, where he works during the day and studies on-line at night.  

            Less than four years later, the once unemployed young Ugandan with a great appetite for knowledge but little hope for attending a university, was about to receive his bachelor’s degree in a roomful of fellow global graduates.

            The genesis of this momentous evening began 45 years earlier when a little American girl just happened to become the pen pal of a teenage African boy.  Such a seemingly unremarkable beginning to a most remarkable outcome is the stuff legends are made of

And no one expresses it better than Walakira Robert Kisakye himself when he concluded his remarks that night in Glendale, saying:

            “Four years ago, I was a young man in Africa who could never hope to have an education.  But today, I am here to graduate from the University of Phoenix.  So for me, this is a testimony that a single act of generosity might change the world, and proves that nothing is impossible-not even for an orphan boy in Uganda.”

When the words ended from the stage, there was an extended moment of pure silence in the cavernous banquet room.  Then came the rapidly building crescendo of nearly deafening applause, punctuated by the entire audience rising to its feet in tribute to the speaker, who had, in his unassuming yet powerful way, delivered a profound message:  

             No dream is impossible.

University of Phoenix is constantly innovating to help students balance education and life in a rapidly changing world. Through flexible schedules, challenging courses and interactive learning, students achieve personal and career aspirations without putting their lives on hold. As of February 28, 2010, 458,600 students were enrolled at University of Phoenix, the largest private university in North America.
