WHY IS THE MUSEVENI REGIME DOWNPLAYING THE KIDNAP OF AN AMERICAN TOURIST?

CHANGE OF GUARDS - It was reported that an American female tourist and her local driver were kidnapped by unknown gunmen in the Queen Elizabeth National Park on April 2, 2019. The regime initially issued statements pertaining to the incident thus;
"The kidnappers, using the victim's phone, have demanded $500,000. We strongly believe this ransom is the reason behind the kidnap," said a statement from deputy police spokeswoman Polly Namaye.

Army spokesman, Brigadier Richard Karemire, insisted the kidnapping was "an isolated incident" and that Uganda remains safe for tourists.
"The security agencies, including the military, are working together to ensure the tourist and the driver are freed unharmed," Karemire said.

Moments later, in a brief statement, the same Deputy Police Spokesperson confirmed that the Police Chief Mr Ochola had travelled to Queen Elizabeth National Park.
“The operation is still ongoing. IGP and his team also travelled to Kanungu and have joined the search efforts on ground. we will keep you informed with necessary updates,” Namaye said.

The Ministry of Tourism has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. On April 3, 2019 the flamboyant Minister of State for Tourism, Hon. Kiwanda was in the same area of Kasese scheming with the Army's fake Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) but made no mention of the abduction.
"The Ministry of tourism will be working very closely with OWC just like it (OWC) has been working with the Ministry of Agriculture so that we can also create wealth through tourism,” he said.

Neither the Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) nor the Association of Uganda Tour Operators (AUTO) have issued any statement over the matter. Instead, on April 4, 2019 UTB top executives, its board and other stakeholders in the tourism sector were in the Sheraton hotel fabulously enjoying a cocktail. The occasion was for the tourism fraternity in Uganda to bid farewell to Stephen Asiimwe who had been chief executive at Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) together with his deputy, John Ssempebwa and to welcome the new Executive Director, Lilian Ajerova.

The abduction incident coincided with the naming of
Bwindi impenetrable national park in Uganda by CNN Travel among the top places in the world with the best hiking experiences. The abducted tourist had been coming from Bwindi before entering Queen Elizabeth National Park.

As earlier predicted that the incident would end up pointing a finger at Rwanda, agents of Rwanda's dissident groups are feeding social media with assertions linking Rwanda's intelligence services to the abduction. The Museveni regime has not come out to confirm or dismiss such assertions. Instead it has rounded up 40 Rwandan nationals who were travelling through Queen Elizabeth National Park highway by bus.
The Police Spokesperson CP Fred Enanga said that "the Regional Police Commander Vincent Mwesigye would address the press shortly" but has not done so.

The usual panicky and uncoordinated statements highlighting terrorism by the Museveni regime whenever such kind of incident occurs is suspiciously missing in the current incident. The early presence of the Police Chief on the scene of crime is unimpressive. The information blackout on the progress of rescue efforts is counterproductive; as the general public deserve to be updated. Obviously, the incident is a high profile matter that deserves more serious treatment. On top of the tourism sector, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and that of Security ought to come out with a formal statement.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
