Uganda police sources indicate that the number of people who have been arrested in connection with the Kayunga demonstrations is has now grown to over 1,000 and rouge officers and magistrates are making quick money. In the first 5 days after the disturbances where the NRM police and army shot dead 30 Baganda, about 600 people were arrested. Since then, the police has continued to arrest more Baganda, claiming that they are looking for ringleaders and other participants in what they (the police) claim to be public violence and terrorist activities.
Baganda sources within Museveni’s police force have informed us that the primary reasons why so many people are being arrested are politics and money. One source told us: “These arrests were ordered from the very top for political reasons. They provide a chance for the NRM to shut up its loudest opponents in Mmengo and the opposition parties, especially DP. It is one way to put make it difficult for the opposition to start organizing themselves for the 2011 campaigns. The majority are arrested not because of evidence that they did anything but because they used to talk a lot against the NRM government on radio stations. So many of them are Baganda DP or FDC campaigners. In some cases the evidence is manufactured using tips from Banyankore, Bakiga and other non-Baganda who are NRM moles in the opposition parties.”
Another Muganda veteran police officer told our investigator that money is also a big reason why the arrests are growing. The office explained: “As you may expect, when an innocent Muganda is arrested on allegations of inciting violence, his or her family will normally be desperate to have him freed on bail. The arresting officers and the magistrate make some quick money by charging the desperate family anywhere between Shs 150,000 and Shs 400,000 (US$74 to $198) depending on situation. They eat the money and in the books they write that the suspect has been freed on a ‘no cash’ police bond. In law this is called extortion and I know that top people in the police force know that it is going on or may even be supporting it.”
The Uganda police force is commanded by Kalyekezi Kayihura, a Rwanda national who came to Uganda as a refugee and joined Uganda police where Mr. Museveni quickly rose him to the rank of General.

Boston and New York Baganda have announced that they will join to demonstrate against president Yoweri Museveni whose army and secret police are in an armed occupation of the kingdom of Buganda. According to the Baganda activists, their demonstration will take place at the same time that the Ugandan war load will be speaking at the UN General Assembly.
The statement announcing the demonstrations is reproduced below:
GGWANGAMUJJE NY/NJ AND GGWANGAMUJJE BOSTON calling you to attend Wednesday, September 23, 2009 demonstrations at UNITED NATIONS at 1st Avenue and 47th Street between 11:00 and 3:00PM. Demonstrations will take place at the same time when he is giving speech at the UNITED NATIONS.
Ggwangamujje Boston are pooling in buses so Ugandans in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware plan in advance to take a day off.
We are demonstrating against Museveni ruthless killing of unarmed civilians by his Military armed forces. The Violation of Human Rights and Freedom of Speech. Museveni’s inciting of tribal crisis (Baganda against Banyala / Banyoro against Bafuruki). The world MUST be informed in advance that ethnic clashes in Africa end up in genocides.
MORE INFORMATION WILL BE SENT OVER THE WEEKEND.

Dear Maama,
Muliyo mutya nnyabo since we spoke on the phone. Ffe tuli bulungi. The holiday season is winding up and the pace at work is starting to pick up as the weather gets cooler and everyone runs out of vacation (leave) days.
The big thing that happened this week is that shocking story in the Red Pepper about some people planting a bomb at Bulange to get Namunswa. I don’t know if Kazibwe started bringing you printouts of Sekanyolya and Buganda Post. But we have read Buganda Post.com that the whole thing was probably a hoax by the government to create deniability for them selves in case violent events take place. Anyway please make sure to tell fellow Baganda about this evil game and warn them.
On something else. I hope Namu told you how the Ttabamiruka meeting of 2008 went. Maama, I cannot tell you how great this year’s meeting was. Absolutely you must come next year. It will be in Boston and your friend’s daughter might be one of the organizers, I don’t know yet. But in New Jersey, we made it very clear that we are “tired” of being afraid of Banamawanga in our own Buganda. I am sure that you will be happy to read our resolutions. One of them tells the whole world that we stand by Ssabasajja and drop all “butitiizi”. Your friend “madam teacher” Nambooze was a big hit even though some ministers in Mengo sabotaged her visa and she failed to come. But her video message showed what a brave woman she is. It made many of us cry. Kyanjo, Betty Kamya and Muliika really delivered. Museveni’s Nankabirwa and Tamale Mirundi were left speechless. That is why people even started discussing about setting a Buganda Government in exile, to focus on saving Kabaka Mutebi and Buganda who are victims of the cowardice and corruption of certain people you know at Mengo.
Tell Kazibwe to go to the web café and print you a copy of our resolutions from BugandaPost.Com.
I know that you will complain if I don’t say something about your “tall boyfriend” Obama. BO is doing very well now but he was really shaken by the excitement that vice president candidate Sarah Pelin brought to the Republican side. Pray for him because things change very first here. For example, in just a few days this huge economy of ours has gone into total panic and we don’t know where it will end. By the way both our neighbors have lost their Wall Street jobs. I hope you remember Schumer as well as the Rubinos. Even fellow Baganda whom you might know have been affected, please pray for them.
Let me stop here and wish you a great weekend. I might even call you on Sunday. Don’t forget the medicine as well as the Centrum. Tell Kazibwe and everyone else that we love them.
Tusabire nnyo Kabaka ne Buganda.
Loving son
