@AKasingye @BalaamBarugahar You've pointed Balam to the right direction - it's upto him, to reach out and/ or interprete what youre saying. If he continues to run around "like a headless chicken", it's upto him - ni juu yake.

As you fight corruption @BalaamBarugahar, I know you depend mainly on accounts of big people in offices & politicians at different levels. You may not also be privy to intelligence reports that have been sent to those with privileged information. However, remember to use “invisible people”. The corrupt usually forget, that the invisible people see everything. These include, the cleaners, tea girls, drivers, escorts, registry staff, errand boys, accounts register keepers, etc. Those in big offices are partners in crime or eye same positions to have their time to “eat”. Check your shoulders!

@ekiggundu @BbegMedia It could be true, bambi! During the 2016 Ugandan presidential election petition, around March, the offices of Fred Muwema were broken into. Burglars stole laptops, computers, and crucial sworn affidavits just hours before the Supreme Court's filing deadline. Ugx. 15bn 🙄

Muwema & Co Advocates has sued its former landlord, alleging that during the eviction exercise in March, the firm lost, among other things, Shs 960m that had been kept in one of the safes. It is seeking damages/compendsation of Shs15bn, @BbegMedia l1nq.com/6q0v5zd

@rama_or Did 'em dashes' really confuse you? I notice you font have 'em dashes' in your response. Should we assume you edited them out, or thus time round, you never used AI? Does the message hold - whether typed by a rat, a goat or a chicken? Does it hold - do you understand it?

Guys, learn to edit out those em dashes. Humans don't use them. Your keyboard can't even locate them!

Andrew Wilson Orlando (@artfulgypzy) is a British-American whom Uganda’s Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) recruited and paid as a State informant. He markets himself openly as a security trainer and “expert,” and has authored books on the very subjects on which he now purports to give evidence. In plain terms, he is an agent provocateur — a paid hand who manufactured a case and billed it to the Ugandan taxpayer. The entire prosecution against @kizzabesigye1, @EriasLukwago_, Lutale and their co-accused rests on this one man: on his second-hand electronic “evidence,” the originals of which he admits he destroyed, and on a police statement in which he confesses to lying. Evidence built on destroyed originals and admitted falsehoods is not evidence at all. It is fabrication dressed up as intelligence. Real Ugandans are paying for his trickery. Besigye, Lukwago, Lutale and others stand in the dock — their liberty, health, careers and families upended — on the word of a foreign informant who lies for a living and admits it. The hypocrisy is astounding. Although Uganda’s security services pay him, he privately regards them as corrupt and has said so in writing. He is loyal to nothing but his own invoice. And this is a habit, not an aberration. He has just authored and published an article aimed at destroying the career of a Ugandan international civil servant — the same method, a fresh target. The men who hired him — the very military witnesses @ODPPUGANDA sought to keep from public view — have staked an entire treason prosecution on his cooked stories. They wanted to conceal the witnesses; they cannot conceal the rot at the heart of the evidence. He claims to have served in the British army before becoming American. What is beyond dispute is what he has become in Uganda: a liar for hire, and the author of other people’s suffering.

Leaders from western region have advised Minister Balaam and Nameere to come slowly 😂, naye bano abasajja

@IngridTurinawe @KagutaMuseveni Before we go into the jaws, of the sub judice rule, let's note what's publicly available, on record: 1. THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF LEGAL REP'S 2. Abduction and extradition, of the accused 3. Incommunicado detention in an unknown facility 4. Human rights violations & dignity

The convener of the said meetings (a Muzungu) is the same person KB requested 2 provide guns & execute the mission of killing @KagutaMuseveni . But also, he was a gvnt spy who kept recording proceedings which form the evidence Vs KB & others. He is their star witness. NOSENSE!

@Paul24187Paul @BalaamBarugahar If you've never met Obore physically. Never been to Parliament. Never been to his house. Never had dealings with him, whatsoever... If you don't know me, and I don't know you - OMFG! Your suspicion, however strong, is not grounded, in fact and in law. It's a textbook myth.

@Baaba0011 @BalaamBarugahar I can feel your pain Bro. You must have benefited from this rampant corruption for too long

To some brothers of mine who are not bothered by what is going on in our local governments and cities, this is a “pit latrine” with out a pit that cost taxpayers UGX 73 million. Is this the Uganda we want? This is unacceptable. My brother Simon and others on x , this is exactly why the #ExposeTheCorrupt campaign must continue. No one will stop this train. There are still a few hours and days left for repentance. When you steal public funds, you will be exposed publicly. If you hate humiliation, don’t tamper with or misuse public resources. Every shilling belongs to the people and must be used for its intended purpose. Let us improve our public infrastructure, strengthen service delivery, and restore accountability in local government. I sincerely thank the DISOs of Mbale and Bulambuli, the CID officers, the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, the DPC Mbale, RPC Twalla, the DPC Bulambuli, the outgoing Deputy RDC of Bulambuli, the RDC of Mbale District, and all patriotic Ugandans led by our General Secretary, Hon. Twalla Fadhil, together with all the Area Members of Parliament for Mbale and Bulambuli, who have supported the #ExposeTheCorrupt campaign so far. I also appeal to all staff in the Office of the President, ISO, Crime Intelligence officers, RDCs, and every patriotic Ugandan to join and support the #ExposeTheCorrupt movement. Together, let us protect taxpayers’ money, improve public infrastructure, and deliver the quality services our people deserve.

Court Update: Besigye and Lutale did not respond to the High Court Registrar’s deadline to choose lawyers. The Registrar has appointed 3 state brief lawyers: The appointed lawyers are: 1. Awero Sarah - Previously represented Okello Onyum, who was sentenced to death. 2. Sserwambala Julius - Previously represented Johnson Lubega and Nassif Kalyango in the murder case of Maria Nagirinya. Both were sentenced to life in prison. 3. Namawejje Sylvia - Limited public information available on her track record.

@DanOgalo @nbstv @francis_isano Good catch! Both the defence and the defence put it on record that the legal team is still on record. Besigye still has legal counsel, of their own choice - except they fear for their own safety and unfair treatment. Baguma's invention is out of this world!

@nbstv @francis_isano Why would they appoint counsel of their choice when they already have counsel? Has the Judge disqualified Martha Karua and Erias Lukwago from representing their clients? I just don’t follow

The High Court has granted Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Lutale Kamulegeya two weeks to either accept state-appointed lawyers or appoint legal counsel of their choice. 📸: @francis_isano #NBSUpdates

@nbstv I want the security minister to be arrested. The defence minister to be arrested, today. And I also want the CDF and IGP, who deployed, the officers who commanded, to be arrested. And the drone driver to be arrested. We cannot continue ... like this.

The Second Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of Government Business in Parliament, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, has told Parliament that security chiefs need more time to prepare a comprehensive report on the whereabouts of former Butambala MP, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, who was arrested last Friday. @simugabi #NBSLiveAt9 #NBSUpdates

@EliasNalukoola Judge: I see you had a problem tetriving your fighter jets from Kenya. Accused: My lord, my travel documents and personal belongings remained behind, when I was abducted. Judge: I have provided you a list of state sponsored engineers to retrieve them! Accused: what list 🙄

@IngridTurinawe @Jude_Mugabi @kizzabesigye1 If a lawyer is already busy on other cases, what's the motivation to add to their workload? If they've no clients, why should Besigye be used as a guinea pig? I second the motion - to publish that full list on the New Vision and UBC. Who're these people - CV and character?

These 3 were in court on Monday, even today, we found them in court. So they were appointed long time ago, only waited 2 be announced by Cadre Judge. @kizzabesigye1 smartly rejected them, requested time and CVs of the 700 plus state lawyers.

COURT; Judge Baguma Emmanuel: Since you received the evidence, let us proceed to the next stage. I earlier directed that, should you maintain a difficulty with legal representation, you be furnished with the list of 786 advocates on state brief, from which you were to make your selection. Have you made your choice? 1ST APPLICANT (Col. (Rtd.) Dr. Kizza Besigye): My Lord, I received the list at 6:00 p.m. yesterday. It is an extensive list of 786 advocates, and I respectfully seek the Court’s guidance on how best to make a selection from it while the underlying questions concerning our legal representation remain unresolved. The Court is well aware that the charges we face are grave and complex, spanning events said to have occurred across four countries. Much of the evidence confronting us is technical and electronic in nature. It is therefore vital, in selecting counsel, that we understand the respective competencies of the advocates named on the list, so that, guided by those competencies, we may make an informed selection. What has been furnished to us is limited to the advocates’ names, years of enrolment, the jurisdictions or areas in which they practise, and their telephone contacts. This does not disclose their competencies. I accordingly seek the Court’s guidance on how we may be enabled to ascertain those competencies so as to make a proper selection. Having said that, I wish to reiterate our earlier submission: the legal team we had is one in whose competence we placed full confidence, and which remains available to represent us in this matter once the concerns touching upon its members’ security have been resolved. Those concerns are the subject of Application No. 248, presently before the High Court. At our last appearance, Your Lordship undertook to ascertain its status. It was filed last month and bears directly upon the matter now before this Court. Finally, My Lord, it would be an injustice to the people of Uganda to bear the cost of counsel on our behalf when we are able and willing to meet the requirements of counsel of our own choosing — the more so in these hard times, when people are dying of hunger.

@AAgather If Baguma can afford to invented his own questions, what will stop him from planting his own evidance, against the accused? What will stop him from ignoring the law and use his own insticts? A pistal Kenyan, may be interpreted as fighter jets in Ugandan soil!

Besigye: our lawyers have been harassed, abducted, deported by the state. Baguma: you said you are having a challenge getting lawyers so you will have to get lawyers from your accuser. Besigye: we don’t have any difficulty getting lawyers, in fact we had a legal team whose competence we were comfortable with who would have been in court representing us if court had cared to resolve the issues concerning their safety and security. Baguma: you will have to choose from these lawyers or I will choose for you. #JudiciaryOnTrial

@Bright13ug If Besigye’s 50 lawyers fear abduction, detention and unexplained deportation, why are these 3 so confident - even without the question of their security remains unresolved? Were there legitimate fears, according to Baguma, or allegations are unfounded?

The lawyers chosen by court to represent Besigye 1. Awero Sarah - Previously represented Okello Onyum, who was sentenced to death. 2. Sserwambala Julius - Previously represented Johnson Lubega and Nassif Kalyango in the murder case of Maria Nagirinya. Both were sentenced to life in prison. 3. Namawejje Sylvia - Limited public information available

@MrBusinge This was the biggest and sharpest hook on Baguma. Who applied for state funded lawyers, and why?

Dr Besigye: I think it would be an injustice to the people of Uganda to pay for lawyers for us when we are able to meet the requirements of our representation, especially in these hard times when people are dying of hunger.
