Dear Ugandans and Katwe,

Yoweri Museveni should not fool Ugandans. Reading the New Vision newspaper under the title

"Museveni warns the media over Aya Project"

Speaking at the construction site of the Kampala Hilton Hotel at Nakasero in Kampala, Museveni said the Government would discipline newspapers which undermine investors through negative reports.

“I have been patient for a long time. I will sort them out if they continue. I have heard that Aya Group is being maligned by some newspapers which are pushing illiterate interests,”

Dictator Idi Amin was killing Ugandans and we fought him. Now it’s the media which is killing jobs. We are going to do something about it.”

I could not help but laugh before I got angry.

This man still thinks we live in the 80s and 90s where he managed to fool people, steal them, kill them and then blame the likes of the late Obote and Amin. (Incidentally Museveni cannot stop mentioning Amin)

We are now wiser thanks to the likes of Radio Katwe. He mentions that Aye passed the Litmus test. Which test is he talking about??? This is a man who can not run a country properly and he talks of litmus tests, spare me the bad joke.

Yoweri, this is your project and you are just laundering stolen money and stolen government land.

If truely you loved Uganda the country that has kept you all this time dispite your bad manners, why don't you visit hospitals which are decaying. Hosiptals are for Ugandans, those so called hotels you have built are for your fellow thieves.

Ugandans should note, this very theif talks of retirement to manage hotels. For sure, are these not one of the hotel he is talking about?

All the media is doing is exposing your crimes which you will not run away from. A time will come when you will face the long arm of the law, it is now a matter of time.

So your foolery will get you nowhere, you are just a simple chicken thief and a killer.

For God and my Country,

State House Analyst

Fellow Ugandans, this information is top secret. The head of the LRA delegation, Mr. David Matsanga, met President Museveni on Thursday 6 Nov just after midnight. He said that he will expose those fellows who are in London stopping Kony from signing the 'very good peace deal'.

"I have worked hard Mzee to bring peace for my country, if Kony refuses, your Excellency its up to you to deal with. But for me I pushed the things fast, you can see from my communications to you, I have been speaking with Rugunda. I told him, he has to be firm because it's me who can handle Kony. I have done everything which is required sir; I have managed to convince "mukwasi" Riek Machar to keep this team under me. You know they 'London fellows' are trying to replace me and my good friend here with me and if they do, then Mzee they will change what we have signed. You can see with your eyes I have put myself there and I cannot be pushed". He was accompanied by one other fellow, whose identity I could not immediately establish.

Matsaga said Kony isn't coming out, and that he (Kony) had killed Oti.

Mzee said he has Kony's 'medicine'.

DRC's minerals are looted and shipped through Rwanda, via Kampala, to Mombasa, under armed escort using operatives from ISO/ESO!

UGANDA TO ADOPT NEW WARNINGS ON CIGARETTE PACKETS

“cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart diseases and death”

Uganda took another step to curbing the tobacco epidemic as the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) announced plans to bring into force a new compulsory standard for labeling of tobacco products sold in Uganda.

In a letter addressed to the Ministers of Trade and of Health, UNBS Executive Director Dr. Terry Kahuma states that UNBS intends to start implementing this warning within the next six months.

The new wording "cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart diseases and death" is to appear in English and Swahili and will now replace the vague and meaningless 'cigarette smoking can be harmful to your health' that was negotiated by British American Tobacco Uganda Ltd with the Ministry of Health long ago.

TEAN Spokesperson Phillip Karugaba, while commending UNBS said 'although it is not to the standards required by the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), it is a start. We now have a stronger warning to smokers'.

The FCTC of which Uganda is a signatory requires warning labels to cover 50% - 30% of packet.

Countries such as Brazil and Canada have in addition included grotesque pictures of rotting teeth, dead rats and aborted fetuses to effectively warn smokers. Please visit

A Pre-Trial Chamber III held at The Hague Court in Netherland decided that the Confirmation of Charges hearing in the case against Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo will take place from 8 December to 12 December 2008.

The confirmation hearing is a public hearing held in the presence of the Prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, the person charged [Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo], as well as his counsel, and the legal representatives of the victims.

Mr Bemba, 45, who was the President and Commander in Chief of the Mouvement de liberation du Congo (MLC), is charged with allegedly to be criminally responsible for five counts of war crimes and three counts of crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the Central African Republic from 25 October 2002 to 15 March 2003, when supported by Uganda's Museveni. The Ugandan President Museveni has tried several times to see that he dodges the indictment, but many of his officers [UPDF] are on the International Criminal Court's wanted list of criminals.

Thus Jean-Pierre Bemba is allegedly criminally responsible, jointly with another person or through other persons, within the meaning of article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute, for: three counts of crimes against humanity: rape (article 7(1)(g)), torture (article 7(1)(f)), and murder (article 7(1)(a)); five counts of war crimes: rape (article 8(2)(e)(vi)), torture (article 8(2)(c)(i)), committing outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment (article 8(2)(c)(ii)), pillaging a town or place (article 8(2)(e)(v)), and murder (article 8(2)(c)(i)).

It is one stage of the criminal procedure before the International Criminal Court which aims at ensuring that no case goes to trial unless there is sufficient evidence to establish substantial grounds to believe that the person committed the crime with which he has been charged.

Following this hearing, Pre-Trial Chamber III will decide whether or not to confirm the charges brought by the Prosecutor against Mr Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo and commit him to trial, but the most likely probable is to put Bemba and his principal backer to trial.

Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo, alleged national of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), was arrested on 24 May 2008 by the Belgian authorities following a Court's warrant of arrest. He was surrendered and transferred to the International Criminal Court on 3 July.
