President Museveni’s NRM occupation government is starting to feel the cost of keeping the kingdom of Buganda in a virtual state of emergency. Since early September 2009, Museveni has spent billions of Uganda Shillings in resources to destabilize Kabaka Mutebi, monitor and block Baganda radio and phone communications, block unfriendly Internet addresses, fund pro-Region Tier forces in Mmengo and redeploy at least 65% of all Uganda’s police and army in Buganda.  The panic expenditure, together with the accompanying graft by those managing the funds has left the occupation NRM government in a financial fix. To cope, Museveni is reportedly, raiding certain government institutions, where aid donors cannot easily trace misuse of funds.

Our source in Uganda’s ministry of Finance has told us that the list of organizations that the NRM government is raiding include Bank of Uganda (BOU), National Social Secrity Fund (NSSF), NAADS and the President’s patriotism development fund. The source said: “BOU is easy because, the governor, Emmanuel Mutebire and the secretary to treasury, Chris Kassami are both veteran embezzlers. And they now have younger leutenants in Naome Nassasira and Keith Muhakanizi to oversee the thefts. The NSSF could have been more complicated because it has been in the papers too much. That is why they appointed a brand new board, with a solid number of thieves, to ensure full cooperation when government raids the organization. Even UPE will not be spared. There are plans to reallocate huge sums of money from students and combine those moneys with billions from Museveni’s patriotism development fund  to massively recruit ‘patriotic’ teachers as a backbone of a new spy network within Buganda. The reason they are looking at NAADS is because they have successfully used it in the past to bribe LCs and settle Balaalo and other foreigners in Buganda, without donor interference.”

On a related note, our ministry of Finance source points out that at least 30-40% of the money being spent to maintain the Buganda occupation is stolen by the implementers and NRM politicians. According the the source: “Because of the secrecy, there is no accountability and everyone involved in the illegal financial raids make sure to keep some. Even Museveni and his family are actively chasing the patriotism fund. It is like everyone is trying to get what they can before the next Baganda riots break out. “

Maama,

Nkulamusizza nnyabo. I hope you and the muzzukulu are all doing fine. We are also doing fine and somewhat engrossed in the presidential campaign. I hope you get a chance to see a good amount of it on CNN too. Eh, your tall boyfriend BO seems to be getting even better as his opponent keeps acting more and more erratically.

When it comes to Buganda issues, Maama the situation is totally depressing. I am amazed how you and other serious people get through the day in Buganda today. Because for me I am totally fed up with the arrogance of these crooks who have stripped Buganda naked. How on earth can a man like Muhweezi who was caught with his hand in the jar on GAVI funds be in the forefront of catching another thief, Mbabazi?

And how stupid does Mbabazi think we are to tell us that the real issue for us to worry about is not his corruption but unfair persecution native Bakiga by Muhweezi, a Muhororo Mukiga? The same Mbabazi does not even see that there is anything peculiar in the fact that he, Mutebire (Bank of Uganda governor), Suruma and a few other Bakiga and Balaalo now own their own private Bank where they can launder money unabated?

Now, what really made me decide to write to you on this problem is when Tom reliably told me that now the president has chosen to side with Mbabazi to crash Muhweezi. Not because Mbabazi is innocent or less corrupt that Muhweezi but only because he is more loyal and have never challenged him (Museveni). This is worse than a Mafia comedy movie!

Maama, my blood boils whenever I think about the arrogance of these Balaalo and their collaborators – and I am not alone. Nubians were never this arrogant. Even British colonialists never got to this level, where a tiny section of the population, partly foreign, loot the national treasury, refuse to pay taxes and then publically fight over the loot in front of the aggrieved majority. And to do this in front of the Kabaka of Buganda, the same Buganda they have been robbing? Ekikutte obudde kiributa!

I am sorry for writing when I am in such a bad mood but I needed to get it off my chest. I hope I will write and less stress next time.

Convey our best to Kazibwe and continue to keep him fully educated about what these people are doing to our motherland. Also say hello to Maama Musa when you see her.

Tusabire nnyo Kabaka ne Buganda.

Loving son

Joshua
