Late last year blogger Dean Lubowa Saava declared war on Bobi Wine and promised to destroy and finish off his NUP party by easter of this very year.
NUP foot soldiers fought back by declaring him a mere hater of Bobi Wine whose success he envies. They also claimed he had been hired by Mathias Mpuuga and other haters of Kavule.
They predicted doom for the blogger who is now already facing big problems. This came after several high court judges commenced investigations into defamation and hate speech allegations against Saava’s youtube channel. Judge Singiaza even issued a gag order to prevent Saava from defaming more senior citizens who refuse to pay up.
In his own words, Saava is currently facing very expensive defamation suits in the high court which have been filed by victims of his hate speech including LoP Joel Ssenyonyi, Kampala University owner prof Kateregga Dungu Badru, the postbank Managing director, the prisons boss Samuel Emiku, MP Dr. Emily Kugonza and road contractor Lutaaya Alex just to mention a few.
Pastor Ssekisaka who he called the chief land grabber of Mutundwe Nalumunye has also instructed a top Kampala law firm to bring up a defamation suit against Saava and his TV10 media company.
Besides all these problems, which have caused his lawyers of Ms Kaganzi & Co advocates to ask for a lot of money to be able to keep going to court to defend him, Saava is also facing parallel investigations by UCC the regular of all online media services.
UCC executive director Nyombi Thembo calls Saava an outlaw because he has been operating and terrorising senior citizens of Uganda using his TV10, which has never been licensed to operate. UCC last month directed all telecom companies to block access to Saava’s media platforms because they are illegal.
The UCC boss also summoned Saava to appear before the UCC investigagions committee full of senior lawyers and Saava says he won’t go there. He says that his enemies like the corrupt thieves and the murderous witchdoctors he has been exposing have been paying money to a group of UCC lawyers led by Meddie Kaggwa to use the commission’s regulatory powers to intimidate him.
Besides threatening to show up with a panga to behead the UCC executive director Nyombi Thembo from inside his office in Bugolobi, Saava says that he is very busy with better things to do than appearing before the UCC whose boss Nyombi Thembo he says is a “misguided misile” who is confused, ignorant and doesn’t know what he is doing.
Saava has also been threatening to air bad news stories about the top UCC bosses like Meddie Kaggwa and Nyombi Thembo if they don’t stop investigating him for hate speech.When he realized that the UCC top management wasn’t cowed and was instead determined to do their work of calling him to order in order to protect innocent Ugadans against hate speech, Saava last week tried to complain to General Proscovia Nalweyiso who has since disregarded and ignored him.
Nalweyiso doesn’t want to be used to fight personal wars which she doesn’t understand and wants Saava to carry his own very big cross as a person because she has never sent him out there to go and use hate speech to defame senior citizens of Uganda like the Katikiro Mayiga, Badru Katerega, Dr Emily Kugonza, prince David Wasajja, the prisons boss Samuel Emiru, the postbank MD, LoP Joel Ssenyonyi and others.
UCC has already set this Monday as the day during which hate speech promoter Saava must appear before their tribunal to be grilled for the whole day. At 9am it will be Lutaaya case, at 11am postbank case and the one of Katerega at 12pm. Saava is to be given the chance to defend himself against defamation and hate speech complaints which have been lodged against him.
Saava, who legal analysts predict will end up choking on defamation cases and court costs like Red Pepper and Teddy Seezi Cheye, says he will not appear because UCC is full of idlers and misguided misiles.
Nyombi Thembo has made it clear that should Saava refuse to show up and defy their summons the way he has been doing, they are going to use the toughest regulatory sanctions the law gives them and in the end, Saava (who has already been to prisons many times) will regret the day he was born.
UCC has many options at its disposal including locking up Saava at Luzira and having him criminally prosecuted through the courts of law or even merely writting to youtube demanding closure of his youtube channel, which he has been to broadcast illegally while promoting what UCC has called hate speech against big people who refuse to pay for his silence.
