PICTURES: 'Biological substance' killed by @KCCAUG @KCCAED in #Uganda

Previously published by Change of Guards Blog on November 21, 2014.

In the late 80s, Commander Kajabago Karusoke who is a leading Museveni regime ideologist appeared before the Human Rights Commission where he categorised Ugandans into biological substances and humans.  He argued that the biological substances were those they (NRA) had defeated and dislodged from power and that they should be eliminated. That statement generated a lot of anger more especially from people of the north and north eastern regions of Uganda who until Museveni came to power had dominated the security services.

Clarifying the same assertion in a 1999 interview with the New Vision newspaper, Kajabago said; "The people we fought against were mere biological substances. They were kidnapping, looting and killing innocent people."  Commander Kajabago Karusoke 76, is a son of former Tooro Kingdom Prime Minister Andrea Rusoke.  He studied political science at the Moscow State University and was an active UPC member in the early 60s before John Kakonge was dislodged from the Secretary Generalship.

In 1980 Kajabago joined Museveni's UPM and was the Secretary General for the Jinja Branch.  He was briefly detained by the security services in 1981. In 1985, he joined Museveni's NRA in Fort Portal and had basic military drills at Semuliki Game Reserve before he was assigned to the NRA Political School from where he rose to become the leading ideologist.

TODDLER KILLED AT KCCA OFFICE

Early this week, the Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) arrested vendors who were illegally hawking merchandise in down town Kampala.  Among those arrested was a breastfeeding mother of two years Ryan (RIP) who had been vending bananas.  Having spent a night in a Police cell, Ryan's mother was produced before the Magistrate at the court located within the KCCA head office.

The toddler's grandmother carried the baby from home to the court premises so that the detained mother could breastfeed Ryan but the law enforcement officers could not allow the suspect mother to access her hungry toddler. To avoid the toddler's hunger cries from distracting court proceedings, the grandmother had to take Ryan outside where she took shelter and soon after, the toddler crawled away beneath the parked KCCA official car.  As the driver was reversing the car, it ran over the same toddler and killed him instantly.

The incident sparked off outrage from both the family and political leaders against the brutal way the KCCA law enforcement agents were going about their law enforcement operations against the economically hard hit members of the society.  The Executive Director of KCCA, Jenifer Musisi apologised to the bereaved family and facilitated the burial of the toddler.

The Minister for the Presidency in Charge of Kampala City Council Authority Frank Tumwebaze who looked more concerned about the security of the installation issued a statement to the effect that; "... the incident shows security laxity at KCCA. Whether the child had an attendant or not, KCCA security should have the capacity to detect any movement within the court premises ...."

KCCA LAW ENFORCEMENT

Like other sectors, Museveni has Militarised KCCA law enforcement operations. The state security operatives are using the cover of city law enforcement to monitor every corner of the city. That is why the so-called law enforcement officers are carrying out arrests while not in KCCA official uniform. The guy who is heading the security law enforcement department is Kituuma Moses Rusoke who is a son of Commander Kajabago Karusoke. He was assigned to this office following the illegitimate denial of the elected Lord Mayor from accessing his office at the KCCA. The regime fearing that the Lord Mayor may mobilise the city dwellers to forcefully reclaim his throne, it deployed Kituuma Moses Rusoke to take charge of security at KCCA and law enforcement in the city.

Kituuma M. Rusoke is a Military/Police officer who joined the security services after graduating from Makerere University in 2006.  By 2012 he was a Personal Assistant to the Inspector General of Police before he was assigned as the District Police Commander at Old Kampala.  When he failed to block Dr. Besigye from accessing the city centre during the 2012 demonstrations, Kituuma Rusoke was transferred to Kiboga as the DPC.

From Kiboga he was moved to Wakiso in 2013 from where he was seconded to head the Directorate of Operations in KCCA. The regime believes that the masses may resort to mass demonstrations against oppression hence taking no chances by making efforts to relocate vendors/hawkers and taxi/bus operators from the city center.  No doubt, that is the reason Commander Kituuma Moses Rusoke is heading the brutal security/law enforcement efforts at KCCA. Kajabago Karusoke and now Kituuma Kajabago; like father, like son!!!!
