Police is now the centre of Criminality!

Gang leader,Sobi, says he asked MUSEVEN to arrest KITATA and KAYIHURA because Ugandans want Peace country

By Daniel Bwanika via UAH forum
Chickens are Coming home to Roast!If I remember well Kondoism was master minded and supported by the helplessness Obote had imposed on society.People were simply hopelessly in total despair.Uganda has a high level of unemployment which offers a huge reserve of recruits into crime.

Sobi says he was also behind DPC Kirumira’s Arrest

Secondary, over the years the police has been known to be a recruitment reserve for criminals. Put it plainly the entire policing(NRM) ideology of using criminal elements to do police work was from the beginning a wrong strategy.

Thirdly militiarising society has been going on since the beginning of the 80s. I have not looked at data of criminal elements. However,
there appears to be a huge number of people that were either recruited into the army or well trained but not in the army. Remarkably of recent, a number of people coming from the North and
East (security guards) are increasingly getting involved into hard
core criminality.

That brings the fourth element of introduction of security firms as a
very wrong business. In the coming years more of these lowly paid
people will increasingly be involved into serious crime.Areas where criminality has excelled are:

1.Land that has proved to be a lucrative area of earning huge amounts of money. (NRM land monetalisation ideology and unforeseen consequences)
2.The above has introduced land grabbing players into the extortion business that is also defined in Uganda as Okubatisa (duplicitous representation) underlying bufeere run by bafeere (fraudsters) supported also by the people in law enforcement.
3.Motor cycle trade, licensing and ownership is almost informal generating the second largest crime area ever after land wrangles! Every week on average 5 people are murdered in this business around the country! NRM has been using these boda in political mob actions to date.
4.Motor vehicle trade by Ugandans that has solely depended on stealing (UK, South Africa) has somewhat scaled down. This was run by people with attachment to the state to beat URA, Migration and Customs! Surprisingly very few people (connected) involved in this business are behind bars. But spare part trade holds a third area in the crime league where people scavenge and sell.
5.Mobile money in the law enforcement circles takes the first place since it is highly reported. Anyhow through okubatisa and bufeere mobile money transactions has recruited both street (petty thieves) and white collar (coder, computer programmers) criminals.
6.Then there are petty criminals – goats, pig, matooke, chicken thieves, cows. This is becoming a major headache in villages around the country. Given the level of want and need correlated with rapid social transformation this makes yet a very big group that is a step ahead of the police and LCI – village people do not easily reveal such crime due to cultural and family ties as the case is with part 4 and
7.Why Pentecost Church leaders are not labeled as criminals beats me. But each one of them that gets money by falsely claiming super natural powers are criminal by all definition
8.The above group is hand in grove with state civil servants who are involved in stealing hence generating horrible criminality. You simply have to work with them or lose your life.

Despite law enforcement organs squarely involved into crime their case could be resolved through military order. Uganda has had such episodes of criminality.

However, NRM is not going to eradicate people’s needs and want by use
of any of the above.There’s need for local police besides to allow DP, UPC, FDC to mobilise their youth wings into direct political participation to divert the youth from being idle.NRM should stop running the country out of stated national policies.

Museveni started politics at Ntale with his friend Kategaya, Mwesigye
and others. He was in DP, then UPC – if you close off young people
from organised politics you’re inadvertently undermining yourself,
state stability and development.Ideas do not come out of the air.

Wealthy Creation (randomised acts) is not an ideology (An orientation
that characterizes the thinking of a group [Communists, Liberals,
Socilist, Federalist] or nation) and has practically nothing to do
with being part of the political process formation.Museveni first tested OWC with NAADS , then youth in Kampala and so forth.


A big lesson to Police Officers anywhere in the world!

By Halima Kiberu via UAH facebook group

This woman in picture with a police man is Helena from USA. She was caught stealing in the supermarket and the police was called to arrest her.
The surprise of all is when the policeman arrived at the scene and asked her what she stole, she said, “Five Eggs To Feed My Hungry Children.”
The police officer took her back to the supermarket and bought her foodstuffs to feed herself and her kids.
Miss Helena started crying and asked the police officer, “Sir this is too much you have done for me..”
The police officer replied, “Sometimes we shouldn’t apply the law but must apply the humanity!”

The IGP should consider these suggestions to fight crime in Uganda!


The IGP must show leadership and not play to the media. Some of the suggestions the IGP and his team should consider include the following:

1) If there is no police database yet for all criminal offenders-rapists and anyone convicted of a gun related crime-the IGP should act with speed and set up one to include all their details from finger prints , photos , locations etc.

2) All convicted rapists and anyone convicted of a gun related crime or robbery with violence MUST be required to report to the nearest police station if they change location. For example, if they move from Kireka to Mutundwe, they must report to the nearest police station in Mutundwe. The police must then notify residents without releasing the individuals name that a convicted rapist or hard core criminals now lives within their vicinity. That warning is to alert residents as the police and LC since YKM destroyed chiefs must then keep an eye on the criminals. Whenever and wherever they move to, the convicted criminals in the categories mention MUST report to the nearest police station. If they live normal lives without reoffending fine. However, should they be caught reoffending after doing their time, they should be designated serial offenders in the national criminal database.

3). All boda boda drivers must be vetted afresh, their finger prints taken and entered in a national database. I suppose boda boda are licenced. So before they get those licensing, there should be a 3 day waiting period for police and other licensing agencies to verify. To eliminate bribery to get away with crimes, the locations where boda boda report for finger printing should not be the place where the final decision is mad. They can return to the initial point for results but the final decision is made elsewhere by a multi task team of police/URA/national ID authority or whoever issues IDs/ Licensing authority etc. Members of the multi task agencies must have access to the finger print results simultaneously. Before prospective boda boda drivers are cleared, all such officers must approve and sign . Any prospective driver with a criminal record of ANY sort must be barred from boda boda activities. Same procedure should apply to taxi drivers and conductors.

Actually not just boda boda but those with criminal records must be barred from working with children, the elderly and other vulnerable populations. This means that all nursery school teachers and even lower primary school teachers must produce a police report. Failure to do so they are disqualified from such activities. To go further even domestic helpers should be required to produce those report reports generated from the said database. Why? Crime happens because of opportunity. These measures are intended to minimize such opportunities.

If I may ask,are boda boda bikes licensed? Do they have number plates etc.? If not they should. Do some boda boda drivers hire out their bikes? Drivers who are vetted, licensed and hire out their boda boda bikes to unlicensed and unvetted boda boda drivers should forfeit their licenses . However they are free to hire out their bikes to licensed and vetted boda boda drivers. Are boda boda drivers licensed to ply particular roads or they are free to go anywhere? that ought to change. Boda boda drivers should be licensed to drive in specific zones, for example Kampala North aka Kawempe division, South Division, East Division, Central division etc. Of course police should be flexible in case a boda boda picks up a students from Makerere who wants to go to Kyambogo and vice versa.

4). The police should investigate through and not rush to take suspects to Court aka Kenya style where they arrest and then investigate. That is why all high profile corruption cases in Kenya have failed. Why? Police play to the media , rush to arrest suspects and then investigate . IGP Ochola should be wary of press conferences or even acting on pressure from media and the public. Let the police take time to investigate cases and only when ready go to court. Obviously the situation in Uganda is tricky, the police and DPP need to be on the same page.

If I may ask again,does the IGP or the police in Uganda know where convicted hard core criminals who were released from prison are/ How many are still in Kampala? How many moved to Kampala from upcountry etc. If they have no clue how do they hope to fight crimes? Folks, studies show that younger offenders in particular are very likely to reoffend within less than one year.

The IGP and Ugandans must realize that police is a necessary evil.

Not everybody in Uganda Police is Bad!

By Peter Simon in Canada

Most of our police men and women are actually good and descent people, only a few criminals have spoiled the police institution. I have good friends, relatives and other people I came to know through my other engagements who are so professionals but when you give thugs police uniforms and guns or you rapidly promote juniors to high ranks without attaining right experience and training for the position, then disaster befalls the institution and the nation but that doesn’t mean that all are bad.

What we need is to reorganize the force, carry out head count and let individuals identify where they trained, who were their squad mates, where did they study and when did their complete their programs etc, which can be verified in many ways and that would help weed out thugs posing as policemen and women police.

I think I have narrated here how those police you abuse made a stellar recovery of my bag containing very sensitive materials in Kampala; I was shocked to see policemen coming to look for a gentleman who had reported theft of his bag, when I reached the station, indeed it was my back, yes they did it so it is wrong to blame the entire force. And not long ago, I visited Uganda and some conman sweet talked me into surrendering Sh.300, 000 and disappeared; I reported the matter to police and after describing the conman’s appearance, the police went into work and I went my way but 3 days later when I returned home, they informed me that they had arrested the guys and true to their word, the conman and his mastermind were behind bars, they apologized but I told them that all I wanted was my money which they paid and I left them with the police.

Yes, some members in police uniforms are unprofessional but it is hard to know whether they are the Uganda Police Force UPF) or Kale Kayihura Police Force (KKPF) personnel because Kale Kayihura could pick thugs and promote them to any rank as he liked ( eg Abudalla Kitatta, Dixon etc.)


(As narrated by Hon Kyagulanyi/Bobi Wine)




So let me set the record straight.



































Hon. Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine


Former Police spokesperson, Judith Nabakooba the newly elected Woman MP Mityana District


1-We know that Al-Shabab is going to attack Nakumatt over Christmas and we advise everyone to be ready

2- The child drank poison (DOOM) and died on the way to hospital, however Police are now investigating the cause of the death.

3-Police recovered nothing from the site. Relatives of the victims should collect their personal effects at police

4-We are closely monitoring the situation and shall update you at a the inconvenient time

5-The armed robber was shot dead and is now in critical condition fighting for his life.

6-The Vehicle was burnt to recognition.

7-We cannot disclose their identity because it will jeorpardise our investigations, however one of the gang members is Siraj Namanya who is popular around Katanga.

8-The vehicle rolled five times killing all the passengers, however three of them survived and are now recovering in hospital.

9-Police is in the know of a plot by Lukwago and Kasibante to insight people but we shall be there to support them

10-All the 5 robbers were shot dead but we have apprehended one and he is undergoing questioning

11- A famous prostitute has been chloroforming drinks with drugs!









One can not put anything beyond the Ugandan Police!




My honest prayers for you all.




A police force should be protecting us but its not , and I dont know why Ugandans are still cooperating with on various issues.The Police cannot continue to lord it over the public if they are not perceived to work for them. The people’s reaction to stop cooperating with them is warranted: it may be extreme, but it will be a protest against government’s irresponsibility. Firefighters should also be chased from accident scenes when they arrive too late. For me, it will be refreshing to see Ugandans showing greater boldness in demanding their rights. As a nation, we are too timid.

How the Police view themselves is crucial. So, the change of paradigm from force to service is required. Is the idea that the Police organisation is not effective/efficient because of lack of resources valid? It is true that when you go to the Police stations you find them in varying states of dilapidation, if you go to ICT crime departments you find them with no working computers, etc., etc. But is this situation real or manufactured? Could the Police leadership do something about that if they wanted to?


‘I had earlier decided not to communicate on this forum but thanks to you for doubting the legal knowledge of my boss-you have forced me to come back. I realise it’s your knowledge of the Uganda laws that is lacking. You need to know that there are different laws in this country. Article 79 of the constitution is particular on one type of la-Acts of Parliament. There are statutory instruments which are laws not made by parliament but by a person or body authorised to do so under an Act of Parliament. For instance Ministers in government can make statutory instruments-these are laws!, KCCA has made bye-laws-these are laws!, Organisations also have laws in their respective constitutions and regulations governing both their operations and relationships between the members of the organisation. Thus the IGP’s remarks are not in anyway contrary to what Article 79 of the constitution provides. Party constitutions also have laws!. Interpreting 79 to mean that it covers all the laws is to display ignorance about the various laws applicable in a country.’—Musiimenta Immaculate.

“Political party constitutions [read NRM] are part of the body of law in this country” — IGP Gen. Kale Kayehura
