When Museveni 'ordered' the murder of Ssebulime

WHEN MUSEVENI 'ORDERED' THE MURDER OF SSEBULIME

“………..be alert if you are armed. If someone is following you on boda-boda get out and sort out yourselves. Take action immediately.”
Museveni - in May 2015.

Hardly a week later, Maj. Erasmus Tinka who had been the Zonal Army Pensions Officer for Masindi was shot dead by a guard. On the fateful evening, he had allegedly gone back to the office to pick his laptop. He was riding a motorcycle and in the company of his girlfriend. It is reported that on seeing the motorcycle, the Prison Warder who had been guarding the RDC’s office shot him dead.

On March 24, 2019, Ronald Ssebulime, 40, a welder, resident of Wakiso set off to pay a visit to his teenage children, Hana Nantaayi and Grace Nabulime at St Andrews SS Kabimbiri in Kayunga District where they study. Their mother died of post-natal complications in 2013. Ssebulime had toiled in life as a single parent to raise the four children.

A member of the Kampala Bikers Association since 2005, Ssebulime set off on his sports bike clad in a bikers suit. He uses the same road that the Museveni's female cabinet Minister was also using. The said Minister who was in the company of her armed bodyguard suspected Ssebulime to be an assassin.

For 40 kms, the suspected assassin never attempted to harm the Minister even when they both stopped at a roadside fruit stall. The Minister's bodyguard defied the Minister's order to shoot Ssebulime. The said bodyguard may face charges of disobeying lawful orders; first from the Commander-In-Chief and then his immediate boss, the Minister. The frustrated Minister reported to Nagalama police station who immediately swung into action.

Three police patrol trucks were dispatched to pursue Ssebulime before he was captured, handcuffed and later shot through the head and neck. Police uncoordinated statements claim that they are looking for another person who was riding with Ssebulime who fled with the pistol that was used to shoot at the pursuing police squad.

There was no such other person in the company of Ssebulime. According to the Minister,
"After two hours, the O.C station got information that they had arrested them…..I then informed him..that it was only one man who was riding the sports bike….the O.C then replied… “Hon. It’s true but he was later on joined by another person….. it seems his accomplices were waiting for him from that same route…..so they are two but one has escaped and they are coming back with the other,” he said……I then asked my bodyguard to rush to the scene to verify and either confirm the O.C station’s report…..unfortunately they found the suspect/assassin shot dead and they communicated accordingly….."
The police is desperately trying to create a cover-up for this cold blooded murder. If pressurised, the regime will only present its rogue police officers before the Police Standards Unit (PSU) instead of the High Court that handles murder cases before gradually setting them free.

Ever since Museveni issued the above boda-boda (public transport motocycle) and irresponsible directive, his security forces have been summarily executing citizens labelled as either terrorists or armed robbers and gullible Ugandans have been behaving passively. The cold blooded murder of Ronald Ssebulime is just another incident that will pass and Ugandans will be back to business as usual.
Ssebulime is just lucky that some factions of Ugandans are questioning his murder; many other citizens unquestioningly continue being killed.

For a military dictatorship to thrive, just like the rampant mysterious gruesome murders in the country, such terrifying summary executions by security forces serve to keep the oppressed population in constant fear. The regime is always set to aggressively provide a twisted version of events in defence of its murderers. Ronald Ssebulime joins the list of many other victims of summary executions at the hands of Museveni's rogue security officers. The big question is who is next???

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
