NEWS EDITOR

MAKINDYE West Legislator Allan Ssewanyana is very much worried about his life after unidentified people dropped letters having list of most wanted politicians, his name included.

Hon. Ssewanyana getting death threats

Notably on the list, are the Members of Parliament driving a motion to censure security minister Gen. Elly Tumwine and ofcourse Kampala Lordmayor Erias Lukwago who is believed to be giving legal counsel to these MPs .

On the most wanted list are;
Hon. Allan Ssewanyana
Hon. Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi
Hon. Moses Kasibante
Hon. Roland Mugume Kakindu
Hon. Latif Sebagala
Hon. Theodore Ssekikubo
Hon. Francis Butebi Zaake
Hon. Banabas Tinkasimire
Hon. Medard Lubega Sseggona
Hon. Gaffa Mbwatekamwa
Hon. Betty Nambooze Bakireke
Hon. Egunyu Nantume

Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi
Lord mayor Erias Lukwago

Speaking to the News Editor Online today Saturday morning, Hon. Ssewanyana has said, “Found those letters dropped at my gate this morning and along the way that leads to my home and some areas in my constituency.”

Hon. Egunyu life targeted

Yesterday, a team of five Members of Parliament behind the petition to cause Minister Tumwine censure held a presser at Parliament to update the public about signature collection, smelt a rat that their move may hit a deadlock following a poor turn up of their colleagues to sign the petition.

A meeting which was expected to be attended by a good number of MPs, only a few turned up for the press conference which left behind many un answered questions on why others chickened out and stayed away from our cameras.

Those attended include; Hon. Allan Ssewanyana, Hon. Ssekikubo, Hon. Barnabas Tinkasimire, Hon. John Baptist Nambeshe and Hon. Moses Kasibante.

Hon. Moses Kasibante

The five put it to other Mps who have shunned this petition that they have run away from their constitutional mandate.

This petition has only three days to go and if over 145 MPs don’t sign it, will definately be thrown in the dustbin.

Hon. Mbwatekamwa

The petition comes after Parliamentary Human Rights Committee chaired by Hon. Egunyu authored a report implicating the four star Gen. Tumwine, the line minister for blocking committee members tour ‘safe houses’ which to them are the illegal tourture chambers where people are detained from and tortured.

A few days ago, a group of notorious youth addressed media warning MPs behind this censure move that they will be dealt with if they don’t leave in peace the security minister who is perfectly handling insecurity in the country.

Hon. Latif Sebaggala

It isn’t known whether this group is behind lists of these very MPs dropped at Hon. Ssewanyana’s gate to scare him and his colleagues away from proceeding with censuring Security minister Tumwine.

IT’S OVER GET OUT: NEC FIRES SULAIMAN KIDANDALA AS MATCH ENDS DP 5:0 REBELS

NEWS EDITOR

OPPOSITION Democratic Party top organ NEC sitting at the newly acquired Headquaters at Balintuma in Mengo, Kampala has today evenning fired embattled Sulaiman Sserwadda Kidandala from the office National Organizing Secretary and replaced him with Mr. Shafic Dembe in the capacity of Acting.

This has given Party President General Hon. Nobert Mao and his team a win with a very big margin against the party rebels.

According to a copy of NEC resolutions leaked to the News Editor Online, a motion to fire Kidandala was moved by Mr. Dick Lukyamuzi and Seconded by youth leaders Rita Nakyanzi and Christopher Okidi in a well attended meeting amidst tight security after goons allegedly hired by a clique of DP rebels attempted to disorganize NEC meeting.

Party Chairmen of three districts; Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono have been also removed and party top offices will be the care takers of these districts.

Kidandala whose fate of winning DP ticket for Kawempe North MP seat in 2021 has been spoilt, party top organ offended him for, “Defying NEC resolution, unilaterally suspended the registration process and launched a parallel process based on unauthorized forms.”

In NEC wise ruling, Masaka district led by EALA MP who doubles as National DP VP and Masaka district party chairman has been cleared to proceed with their elections since there were no petition against the process. Kidandala wanted to illegally block this process.

In fact NEC saluted the Masaka process that had so far followed the law to the later.

DETAILS OF NEC RESOLUTION

Quoting Article 18 of the Party Constitution, DP NEC resolution reads;

The National Executive Committee of the Democratic Party sitting at the party offices at Balintuma Road, Nakulabye, Kampala this 14th day of February, 2020.

WHEREAS the party approved a Road Map whose goal is to compile a National Members Register and to elect party leaders at all levels under the oversight of the NEC;

NOTING that the process of membership registration and election of branch and sub-branch leaders has been subverted leading to confusion among members;

NOTING that the National Organizing Secretary Mr. Sulaiman Kidandala in defiance of the NEC resolution, unilaterally suspended the registration process and launched a parallel process based on unauthorized forms;

  1. To ensure compliance with NEC directives, the said National Organizing Secretary, Mr. Sulaiman Kidandala, who has with impunity flouted NEC directives, is hereby suspended from office with immediate effect.
  2. The Deputy National Organizing Secretary Mr. Shafic Dembe is hereby delegated to perform the functions of the office of the National Organizing Secretary.

Furthermore, all registers and return forms shall be delivered to the party headquarters through the office of the Secretary General.
