For many years, city events promoter and Museveni crusader Balam Barugahare has always been identified by his Orange T.shirt. However mid this years he was trolled when he attended comedian Salvador’s Kwanjula in Mityana District while donning his Orange T.shirt with open shoes
Many social media specialists assume that the Tee has some kind of magic that enables him to make more money in events which he organizes year in, year out.
However, the city events promoter didn’t leave his most loved T.shirt back while heading to US for the UNAA fiesta in Chicago. This has left many of his colleagues and asking what could be the secret in his Orange T.shirt.

Manchester United seem to have gone in early disappointment after the poor run their team is having against small teams that have given it a bloody nose, after losing to Norwich at Old Trafford last weekend, Manchester United has a disappointing 1-1 draw at Southampton over the weekend
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made the comments after his sides 1-1 draw with Southampton. The draw meant that Solskjaer has only won three Premier League games as United boss. United had 21 shots at St Marys, compared to Southamptons 10, but only eight of them were on target. Daniel James scored his third goal in four games in the draw, as he smashed home an effort into the top corner.
After the game, Solskjaer told a press conference that he isn’t concerned about United’s poor run of form, but said he believes that all his side needs to do is become more clinical. Speaking on Match of the Day, former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas criticized the Norwegian manager, and poked holes in his claim that United were creative going forward. I totally disagree, he said when told of Solskjaers comments. In terms of being clinical, you have to create chances.
Daniel James got himself on the scoresheet for the third time in four matches, but the day ended in frustrating fashion on Manchester United’s side.
Bulambuli: Few days ago we reported a story about landslides in Bulambuli that covered a family of almost 15 people, however latest developments reveal that the search has been on and so far one body has been retrieved from the debris and an estimated 20 people are still trapped under there.
The deceased has been identified
Collin Maleba, a resident of Nasubu village in Busiya Parish in Bulaago Sub
county. He was trapped by the landslides while trying to rescue his animals
from the heavy rains.
John Maleza Magomu, the
Bulago Sub county LC3 Vice Chairperson, says Maleba’s body was recovered by
residents who have been digging the debris in search of their friends and
relatives.
He says 19 people are
still missing and the search is still ongoing. “The search is still on for the
other missing people but we are challenged by the technology we are using. We
are using hoes to dig into the soils, which has slowed the process,” Maleza
said.
He also says that
several people who have been displaced are still stuck with no shelter and food
as they have not yet received any relief aid.
However, Charles Gidoi,
the Bulago Sub county Chief, says they received some food relief from the
Office of the Prime Minister but it hasn’t reached the sub county because of
the poor roads.
Dr. Kiiza Besigye During The People’s Assembly At His Home In Kasangati
By Paul Ssenabulya
It took Moses quite a number
of years to bring to the Israelites out of the hands of oppression in Egypt to
the promised land of Canan. Dr.Kiiza Besigye Uganda’s opposition strong hold
and the founding father of the Forum for Democratic Change has been running against
his former boss Yoweri Kaguta Museveni since 2001 and hasn’t yet made it to state house but has hope that one day God
and the voters will answer his prayers.
The long journey of
Besigye to freedom has been characterized with numerous arrests, detentions
year in, year out since 2001 a nd 2006 elections which saw the revival of multi-party
politics in the pearl of Africa through a referendum held on 28th
July 2005 with a spice of term limit removal that caused mixed reactions in the
7th parliament and the elections were held on 23rd
February 2006
Prior to the elections of
2006, Besigye was arrested on 14 November 2005 on allegations of treason,
concealment of treason, and rape. The treason case included his alleged links
to the rebel groups Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and People’s Redemption Army,
and the rape charge referred to an incident in November 1997 allegedly
involving the daughter of a friend. The arrest led to demonstrations and riots
in Kampala and towns around the country. Pro Besigye protesters believed the charges
were fabricated to stop Besigye from challenging Museveni.
The result of the
election was in favor of Museveni who received 59 percent of the vote, Besigye
took 37 percent. In the parliamentary elections the NRM won 213 of the 319
seats before the number got to 400+ in the current 9th parliament.
This explains how Museveni treats his opponents.
President Yoweri Museveni
seems to have used the same script in the 2011 elections which were held on 18th
February 2011 and still he was re-elected for a 3rd elective term
with 68.38%, having been in power since 1986. The NRM also won 263 of the 375
seats in parliament. Besigye got 26.01% and the rest of the candidates DP’s
Norbert Mao, UPC’s Olala Otunu, Betti Kamya of Uganda Federal alliance, Abed
Bwanika of PDP, Jaberi Bidandi Ssali of PPP, and Independent Samuel Lubega
shared the rest of the remaining percentage.
Unlike the previous
elections, the four party inter party cooperation (IPC) chairman Kiiza Besigye
said before the results were announced that the opposition categorically rejects
the outcome of the elections and warned that Uganda was ripe for an
Egypt-style-revolt to oust Museveni. However, the protesters failed to amass in
large numbers because Besigye did not believe in his own claim of sparking a
revolution.
He however launched the
walk to work protests in Kampala which were met with deadly resistances from
police and other security agencies spraying tear gas and detaining some of the
protesters. During the same chaos, Besigye almost lost his sight when a one
Robert Alinaitwe sprayed pepper in his eyes only to be airlifted to Nairobi for
treatment.
During this fourth season
of Besigye in politics, he also stated it categorically clear that he would not
stand for presidency again in 2016 if electoral reforms were not enacted and
also if the Electoral Chairman then Eng Badru Kigundu was still at the helm of
the electoral body. However, Doctor Kiiza Besigye didn’t live to his words and
in 2016 he still contested even before his demands were put in place.
However, he changed the
political game this time round after failing to be part of the TDA coalition
which Mbabazi later scooped and in the elections held on 18th February
2016, Besigye got 35.61% ,Museveni 60.62% and the rest of the candidates Eng Joseph
Mabirizi, Moreen Kyalya, Prof Balyamureeba, Dr. Biralo and Former Primae
Minister and NRM Secretary General Amama Mbabazi and Abed Bwanika shared the
remaining percentage.
Opposition candidates
claimed that the elections were marred by wide spread fraud, voting
irregularities, repeated arrest of opposition politicians and a climate of
voter intimidation. The NRM party spokesperson stated that “It appears as if
our message that Uganda should maintain its path of steady progress for all,
and not risk an untried and untested opposition, has resonated with the
majority of Ugandan voters.”. Unlike the previous elections, the Forum for
Democratic Change (FDC) party issued its own election results and one senior
FDC official was quoted by Reuters as saying that their statistics ‘glaring
discrepancies” with the government figures”
On 21 February 2016, Kiiza
Besigye, who was under house arrest stated “I call upon all of you citizens to
protest….The Only way to get out of this is to use the popular numbers that we
have to make sure that the gunmen do not do what they are doing”. This was followed
by tension in the city as Besigye beat the security mounted at his home and
made to the city to swear in as the People’s president one day before the
swearing in of Museveni. This saw him detained and charged with treason a case
which has never been finished in court until now.
In Summary, the aftermath
of the 2016 elections was marred with different opposition activities which
included the Defiance prayers at Najjanankunbi, and in 2017 at the heels of the
article 102B of the removal of age limit for presidential candidates (famously
known as the Magyezi bill), the opposition launched campaigns dubbed
Tojikwatako, Kojikwatako to stop the regime from amending this article which
later came to pass with majority of the NRM legislators backing it.
It’s at this time after
the amendment of article 102B of the constitution that opposition led by Dr.
Kiiza Besigye got back to the drawing board and announced new plans to
challenge government through new campaigns dubbed Tubalemesse, Kojikuteko and
the recent one where he announced a Tsunami style of ousting Museveni before
2021. He made country wide tours with his FDC party clashing with police,
getting arrested and smoked out radio stations in Kabale, Hoima, Jinja, Mubende
and even in Northern Uganda and the NRM sole candidate of 2021 seems not moved
by Besigye’s threats of ousting him.
With the new kid on the
block of opposition Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu commonly known as Bobi wine,
Besigye has been challenged to step aside for the new blood but seems not
bothered at all. The two opposition figures Besigye and Bobi wine early this
year announced a memorandum of understanding but if we are to by the look of
things, People Power and Besigye’s people’s government are on different routes
ahead of 2021 which has proved it right that the long time Museveni challenger
is going to come back in 2021.
Despite Besigye’s claims that Museveni can never leave power through an election, and not giving alternative ways of ousting him, many believe he’s just saying this to discourage and pour cold water on Bobi wine’s plans of challenging Museveni. But information from the corridors of power clear state that the leader of the People’s Government is set to contest again for the 5th term which I have termed Season 5.
