OWEYEGHA-AFUNADUULA: Understanding Who Sodomites Are

0

By Oweyegha-Afunaduula

Do you know what the word sodomite stands for? Let me tell you.

A sodomite is a person who engages in unnatural sexual practices. When they are many they are called sodomites.

Sodomites, are, therefore, men or boys whose sexual lives revolve around canal knowledge of one by another to satisfy their sexual desires, or women and girls who sleep with one another for the same reason. Or else sodomites entice others to engage in unnatural sex. Sometimes they rape children, men or boys, which is a crime. If women, girls, rape other women or girls for purpose of of having carnal knowledge of them, it is also a crime punishable by law. Whatever is the case , we say that they are practicing Sodomy. Although the Bible is clear that God created heterosexuality ( sex between man and woman, or girl and boy), those who advocate for sodomy say God created both homosexuality and Lesbianism yet the in the Bible, Sodomy is called a Wicked Thing!

There is no doubt that the two words are related to the word Sodom, which is a biblical name of a city, which was known for practicing unnatural sexual relationships.
do
One time God got so annoyed with the people of the city of Sodom and told Abraham that he was going to burn it. Abraham painstakingly tried to convince God not to, because even the innocent would be burned to death. God saw that wickedness outweighed Godliness by far.

In fact, one time two angels of God in form of men visited the city of Sodom at the height of sodomitic relationships. They went straight to the house of Lot, who was the only Godly man in the city. When the Sodomians heard that two men had visited Lot – whom they called foreigner – they surrounded his house and demanded that he gives the two men to them.

Apparently, all the adult men and young men converged at Lot’s house. They shouted to Lot in a chorus, ” Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight. Bring them to us”. The Bible says that they wanted to have sex with them. To put it another way, they wanted to have carnal knowledge of them as a mob.

Lot was scared and told them” Friends don’t do such a wicked thing. Let me give you my virgin daughters and you can do anything you want with the.”. But they were not interested in women.

They wanted only men. In anger, the angels of God in form of men struck all the old and young men blind, a demonstration that God did not approve of Sodomy and sodomites. The Bible says God went on to burn the whole city and all the sodomites to ashes, but not before telling Lot to leave the city with his wife and daughters.

He hated Sodom and its sodomites so much that he did not want Lot , his wife and daughters to look at the burning city as they fled it , but Lot’s wife looked back and became a pillar of salt.

The whole Story of Sodom and its sodomites, and what God did to them, is well recorded in the Bible Book of Genesis Chapter 19. But the sodomites of today may or will disagree with it because they are anti-God and anti-Christs. Disagreeing does not mean that the story does not exist nor describe the truth about God’s disapproval of sodomy and sodomite..

The visit by the Mps on the committee was confirmed to this news website by Hon Achia Remigio the member of Parliament for Pian County in Nabilatuk district.

Remigio who doubles as chairperson Karamoja parliamentary group and also the lead petitioner calling for censure and arrest of Karamoja Minister Mary Garet Kitutu says the committee wants to find the truth on the ground.

“What the committee has been getting is just paper work accountability now they need to see the real thing and properly interacting with the beneficiaries’- he said while speaking to this publication.

This website has however learnt that the visit of the committee has caused panic among the district veterinary officials in the districts of Karamoja who were the key people to receive and inspect the delivery of goats to be distributed to the beneficiaries.

Ultimate News has also learnt that some of the companies that distributed goats in Karamoja belong to some resident district commissioners who are also quaking should the committee learn to about the same,  they are likely to loose jobs over conflicts of interest.

John Moding one of the residents says they know the d RDCs whose companies participated in distribution of goats, a project which has come out to be a scandal.

Parliamentary Committee on presidential affairs is currently investing the massive theft of Karamoja relief items by the Minister for Karamoja affairs Dr.  Mary Goreti Kitutu and her Deputy  Agnes Nadudtu whom the intelligence team also recovered ironsheets in  her house.

It should be recalled that last month,  state house anti corruption unit  raided the home of Minister Kitutu and recovered bundles of Karamoja iron sheets meant for the reformed Karamoja cattle rustlers.

Her mother,  brother and nephew were arrested but released after the minister Kitutu pleaded to the police over the age of her mother. Now the investigations was expanded into the distribution of goats and relief food which they found also in a mess.

Some areas in Karamoja like in Kaabong Town Council where the council was expecting  to receive 2,160 goats received nothing yet the company hired by the Office of the prime minister was fully paid.

There other people in Kaabong who were deceived by one of the companies by names Abemeri to supply local goats to the company but to their shock the company vanished with their money after distributing goats it sourced from the residents.

In other sub counties like Kathile in Kaabong district people were supplied goats but later the goats were withdrawn by the same companies and gave the beneficiaries  Shs50,000each under unclear reasons.

In Kalapata sub county in Kaabong,  beneficiaries were made to sign forms and paid Shs50,000 without goats.

0

It all started with a woman who identified herself as Sarah Nalwoga Igeme accusing her husband Dr Igeme Katagwa of being gay and sodomizing his own children, two boys and one girl.

Our snoops privy to the matter revealed to us how there’s a fight and scramble for property that’s making the woman cook stories and smearing her husband in bad light.

“We handled this case comprehensively. In audio is different on ground. Personally i even helped draft a complaint to Director CID by then to enable me handle her matter. Doctors examined the children and was totally no evidence. In the end she asked how she can be helped to share properties”- said our source.

FOR THE BEST WEB HOSTING AND DOMAIN NAMES, CALL OR WHATSAPP +256758201313

Our source also also says that the former CID boss Grace Akullo was touched and shocked by the revelations in the woman’s claims, children taken to Mulago and tests came out negative, when the case was closed, she opened the same case at another police station.

“Madam Akullo was also touched but findings were contrary, we took the file to ODPP herself she closed it. After closing it, she surprisingly went to Kajansi and opened up the same case. This time Kajansi investigated, took children to Mulago for ex rays and examinations which were all negative”- says our source.

Police would later come out to refute the woman’s allegations indicating how the matter was conclusively handled and in the end no evidence was presented and even the children refuted claims that their own father had sodomized them.

“From the interviews and findings, the counselor did not find any signs of physical or sexual abuse, but she indicated that they had signs of psychological torture, as a result of abuse from their mother. The victims were also examined by Doctors at Mulago National Referral Hospital, and none of them found any evidence of alleged physical and sexual abuse”- Reads part of the police statement.

However in a turn of events, Sarah Nalwoga has clapped back at police spokesperson Enanga claiming every thing in the police statement is a lie accusing Afande Naigaga of refusing to hand over the medical report to her.

“These guys are the one blocking justice for my children and not even my children”-says Nalwoga.

Nalwoga says she has taken her children for medical examinations and she has all the papers, even people who operated her children can come out and testify what they were operating. She also says she’s ready to post the medical reports on social media if it’s what will get her justice.

“Mr. Enanga is lying , i can be brought before all the media which am going to do and i want Enanga to tell me how a child whose private parts are having purse oozing out of them can have a hymen, they’re these thigs you’re going to protect other people’s children and then deny justice to other people’s children, am going to run to many offices as possible until my children get justice”- Nalwoga angrily claps to Enanga.

She further accuses cops at Kibuli of eating some Eight Million Shillings which she claims was delivered by a certain city lawyer to cover up the matters which are currently in court.

“These police at Kibuli ate UGX 8 Million which was delivered by Semakula Mukiibi of Max Advocates, i can bring evidence to that effect”- Nalwoga Reveals.

LISTEN TO HER AUDIO HERE

DISCLAIMER: Ultimate News Does Not Independently Verify the claims put in this story as they’re reported verbatim from the audio in circulation and we are doing our best to find Dr. Igeme to know his side of the story.

0

Through this very publication, we revealed how a woman known as Sarah Nalwoga was seeking help over her husband who she alleges to be gay and has been sodomizing his children for some time.

Uganda police through it’s mouth piece Fred Enanga has issued a statement regarding what she said in an audio that has since gone viral. Below is the full statement (Verbatim)

We would like to inform the public that the Directorate of CID, has taken interest in an audio of alleged Aggravated defilement and sodomy, that was recorded by a one Sarah Nalwoga Igeme, where she accused her husband Dr. Igeme Katagwa, for sexually molesting their two children, a boy now aged 15 and a girl aged 13.
FOR THE BEST WEB HOSTING AND DOMAIN NAMES, CALL OR WHATSAPP +256758201313
The public should know that it is the 3rd occasion that this matter is coming up. In the two previous complaints, the complainant was found to have maliciously fabricated the allegations against her husband, after no proof of inappropriate or sexualised behavior was established between her husband and their two children.
The facts gathered indicate that around March, 2021, a one Sarah Nalwoga Igeme, a wife to Dr. Igeme Katagwa, accused her husband, whom she claims is gay, for sexually molesting both their daughter and son.
As a result, the mother, father and children were interviewed by a specialist CID team trained to investigate incidents of child sexual abuse. The two children were temporarily separated from their parents and placed under a neutral home. A counselor was attached to them for psychosocial counseling services for the entire period, away from their home in Ssekiwanga village, in Bwebajja.
From the interviews and findings, the counselor did not find any signs of physical or sexual abuse, but she indicated that they had signs of psychological torture, as a result of abuse from their mother.
The victims were also examined by Doctors at Mulago National Referral Hospital, and none of them found any evidence of alleged physical and sexual abuse. The posterior tissues and petulant anal sphincter, were normal with no signs of physical and sexual abuse.
The girl was further examined in her private parts and her hymen was found still intact. In addition, the labora laboratory findings on HIV, Hepatitis B and the blood levels were negative. The victims also denied any allegations of sexual abuse by anybody, but acknowledged that they were closer to their father, which made their mother uncomfortable.
Again, the wife and mother, petitioned the office of the former DIGP, now deceased, the late Lt. Gen. Paul Lokech, who directed for fresh inquiries at Kajjansi Police Station. The mother, father, children and witnesses, were interviewed and the victims re-examined by another group of medical Doctors at Mulago. The findings still came out negative.
The casefiles were submitted to the office of the DPP, where it was established that the complainant had maliciously fabricated allegations against her husband and advised that the casefile of sodomy had Aggravated defilement, be closed and put away for lack of sufficient evidence.
A related casefile of alleged domestic violence, that was separately opened and fully investigated, was also closed and put away by the DPP, for lack of sufficient evidence.

By Steven Ariong

MOROTO: The rate at which the officials from the prime minister’s office attached to Karamoja are in panic is at the level of the highest peak of Mt. Moroto.

Initially office of the prime minister recruited local staff to work as community mobilizers tasked with mobilizing the community on the projects funded by the office of the Prime minister. Each district has one focal point person across Karamoja region.

However, from the time the iron sheets and goats saga was brought up, the community mobilizers who were key in ensuring that communities get goats and iron sheets started switching off their known contacts before fleeing to different unknown locations.

The parliamentary committee on the presidential affairs is currently investigating the industrial theft of Karamoja relief items and goats.

At thehe centre of trouble is Minister for Karamoja affairs Dr.Marry Goreti Kitutu whom the Karimojong have nicknamed her as Mama Baati after she confessed to have diverted thousands of iron sheets meant to support the reformed Karimojong cattle rustlers to her relatives and political opponents.

Her mother, brother and nephew were both arrested and released on police bond.

This website learnt that most of the OPM staff stationed in Karamoja are no longer seen in public and to make things worse, it’s said said the companies which distributed the goats with the right hand and took them away through the left hand from the karimojongs conned with the community mobilizers to con and defraud the Karamoja people.

A case in point is Kaabong town council which was supposed to receive 2,160 goats on President Museveni’s directive as a way to improve on the living standards of Karamoja people, to their dismay, they never received any goat but the company yet to be known was fully paid Shs1.2billion.

Grace Kolibi a resident of Nakapiripirit says they used to communicate with their mobilizer on phone calls but ever since the iron sheets and goats saga were brought out, they’re no longer seeing any one.

“We still wanted to consult them as a community on other things but we can’t all their phones are off and they’re no where to be seen even at their known physical address”-she says.

One of the community mobilizers who met with this website and requested not to be named said the saga in OPM has put their lives also in danger.

“The community is hunting for us also even yet we don’t know anything so it’s better to hide”- she says.

In a quite shocking revelations in an audio making rounds on social media, a woman who has identified herself as Sarah Nalwoga Sserugunda a teacher by profession says she’s is married to a gay husband whom she has identified as Dr Igeme Katagwa.

Nalwoga says they got married in June 2009 in Jinja, she narrates how the man started putting an unbearable behavior which prompted her to report the matter to his mother who talked to him several times and she promised her (Nalwoga) that things will be alright.

“She would talk to him, i didn’t know he was gay until so much later about four to five years into the marriage when he wanted to sodomize me, i reported the issue to the heir to his father, their father is the late bishop Nabeta”- Nalwoga says.

According to Sarah, the heir to her husband’s father is Lulume Nabeta who stays in Nairobi and he comes to Uganda once in a while and would hold several meetings with them about her husband’s unbecoming behavior.

Things totally failed to work out and she had to stay in the marriage because they had already sired three children whom the husband has continuously sodomized despite being their biological father.

Nalwoga further reveals that hell broke loose during the covid-19 lock down, his behaviour worsened to the extent that he would lock himself in the study room of their house and molest the children something she reported to the family members thinking her husband has lost his brains.

She revealed to them how the husband has raped their son Lume Igeme Katagwa whom she took for an operation in Najeera Hospital, Kampala where it was discovered that the boy had been penetrated 10 centimeters inside.

“I reported to the family members, i have a WhatsApp thread to this, i kept on telling them, i though he had lost his brains, i told them he had developed a mental break down, he raped my son Lume Igeme Katagwa, we took him for an operation in Najeera hospital, he was operated, it was discovered that he was penetrated 10 centimeters inside, we got treatment but up to now, Lume is on anti-biotics”-Nalwoga narrates the terrifying Ordeal.

This woman further says the husband went on rampage and also molested their daughter Sanyu Mbakire Nankinga who he has since taken into hiding and as a mother, she’s not aware of the whereabouts of her daughter. However, when they went to court, the husband revealed that she’s at Viva College Jinja.

The terrified mother reveals that upon thorough check ups, it was revealed that her husband was sodomized, molested and abused several times, she underwent treatment for 10 days and would later be discharged.

“In the heat up of things, i reported the things to Kibuli CID headquarters, and when i reported they dismissed us, they gave the man bond, but when they dismissed us it was like they had given him permission to molest the children more, even the third one as we speak, he has totally molested him and faecal material just runs out of his tummy”-she narrates.

She has since taken the third child too to the Najeera hospital where the first boy was treated from. Despite getting treated, the boy remains traumatized

“We got the treatment but my son is traumatized, is in very bad shape, we need urgent attention, whoever can come to our rescue, we have contacted lawyers but we need Shs8 Million to be helped out”- Nalwoga cries for help
Her appeal to the public is to help her raise legal fees or find a probono lawyer who can help her on the case and also have her children rehabilitate. Her only worry is that her security is imbalance and to her dismay despite being gay, his family seems to be supporting him and have failed to call meetings to bring their relative to order.
We are doing all possible ways to get Dr Igeme Katagwa to get his side of the story on the allegations leveled against him.

KAABONG: The day government officials under Museveni stop using Karamoja as their eating ground is the day that Karamoja will start developing.

Last week this website published an article on how Karamoja has turned into an eating ground for people working under this current government and this has continued.

Each youth was supposed to receive 15goats and one male bore across the region.

Office of the Prime minister which is currently facing parliamentary probe over theft of Karamoja iron sheets  called for companies to supply goats across the region, however some contractors used their own syndicate to steal from the poor Karamoja.

For the example Kaabong Town Council which was supposed to receive 2,160 goats never received a single goat till date.

Mackdad Logira the Mayor of  Kaabong Town Council says they even don’t know the company which was supposed to supply goats to the town council. He further says Kaabong town council was supposed to have received 2,160 goats but no single goat was delivered in the town council.

“We are told there some companies that have already been paid billions of shillings after presenting forms to office of the prime minister claiming to have delivered goats in the town council”-says Mackdad

Logira says some people especially in other sub-counties like Lotim and Kalapata were given Shs50,000 each person who was supposed to receive the goats and they take those goats to other areas to distribute.

According to Logira when authorities tried to intervene, the suppliers threatened the leaders that they were from state house.

These suppliers didn’t want to listen any word from the leaders in the district because they they were from state house and we kept quite”- he recalls.

Geace Nakiru from Kalapata told this website that some people after supplying them goats went back to those who received them and retrieved the goats while giving the beneficiaries Shs50,000.

“They claimed they were going to bring other goats, i also received Shs50,000 from them and we didn’t know that it’s like they were buying the same goats from us taking to other places”- she says.

This website has also learnt that each goat was budgeted between Shs400,000 to  Shs600,000 depending their breeds.

According to the list of companies that supplied goats to Kaabong, they are nine companies and they include, Oped contractors, which is listed to have supplied 1,000 small African local female goats to 100 beneficiaries.

The others are Twemed General suppliers limited in the list supplied 1,000 small East African local female to 100 beneficiaries. Bukanga Highland supplied 1,000 small East African female goats also to 100 beneficiaries.

Further Platinum business Uganda supplied 1,000,East African female  goats also to 100 beneficiaries, Rutaborwa enterprises  supplied 1,000 Boer cross female goats to 200 beneficiaries.

While Abemari smc Ltd supplied 1,650 small East African goats to 165 beneficiaries and Enrich Agro vet technology Ltd supplied 1,000 Small East African female goats to 100 beneficiaries.

Luck and lark Co. Ltd supplied 2,000 Small East African female goats to 200 beneficiaries. and M/S National  Animal Genetic Resources centre and Data bank supplied 1,000 Boer bucks to 1,000 beneficiaries, this brings to the total of  10,650 claimed to have been distributed to Kaabong but locals say many people never saw the goats.

“What’s written in the lists is just paper accountability but nothing is on the ground,” Said Veronica Nakut.

Samson Lokeris the former member of parliament of Dodoth East county in Kaabong district says the whole distribution exercise of goats was messed up.He called upon the state house anti corruption unit to pick interest and go to Kaabong.

“Parliamentary committee on presidential affairs should also summoned all the company owners who supplied goats to Karamoja because there is evidence that these companies some of them never delivered the goats to Kaabong but they were paid all the money”-Lokeris suggests.

According to Mr.Lokeris in Kathile sub county, people were given to fill forms and given shs 50,000 instead of goat’s.

According to Lokaala his attempts to reach Nambafu who used the name of Abemari company to take his goats have failed to yield anything.

“Nelson Nambafu with someone known as Emmanuel Nuwagaba Barack approached me on behalf of Abemari company to mobilize for them local goats worth Shs34million but after taking away my goats they have not paid me a single coin and all their phones are off”- Lokaala told this website.

Ibrahim says they are other people who’s goats have been taken in the similar manner like how his vanished in the hands of the Nambaafu guys who failed to pay.

Timothy Longole a resident of Kalapata subcounty said the owner’s of the companies were not directly involved in the buying and distribution of the goats to the people in Karamoja instead they were using middle people.

“We are facing double suffering one for the stolen iron sheets and the goats taken without any payments”- says Longole.

Parliamentary committee on the presidential affairs is currently investigating the OPM activities including the distribution of goats in Karamoja.

This website contacted Nelson Nambafu through his friend and indeed he confirmed knowing the debt of with Lokaala and blamed it to his friend Emanuel  Nuwagaba whom he said he deliberated dodged to pay for the goats.

“Its true that gentleman Lokaala supplied us the goats but the problem is from my colleague Emmanuel Nuwagaba who become big headed to pay the man his money’-says Nambafu.

However, Nuwagaba when contact also shifted the blame to Nelson Nambafu saying he was the one dealing with the Lokaala directly.
