We will probably never know who exactly burnt down the Kasubi tombs

Dear Ugandans

The fact of the matter remains that since the installation of this government, there is no prominent crime that has happened in Uganda without someone getting arrested. When you go back as far as Andrew Kayiira’s murder or Mugalu or any one that got murdered in Uganda, someone ends up arrested and with in sheer days. But after that arrest several things happen, either the case does not get heard of so it simply slip away, or the jailed person dies in Luzira or some weirder thing happens. But as soon as it happens there must always be an arrest. It so seems that the government goes out there and simply picks up an innocent man and the case fades away. You see in the anger there is nothing good to hear as the murderer of Kazini has been arrested. The hype in people fades away and the story gets off the news headlines. Do you know for example where the case of Dralu sits today? But had Dralu not been arrested at that particular time, the story today would have been who murdered kazini? In fact they come back and remind you that during AMO’s government wrong doers were not being arrested this government arrests them.

And Ugandans buy that nonsense.

  1. What a “star” witness? Reminds one of that lady with a big head gear at KB’s
    trail?
    Cant we get ones without some “head” problems?
    Now that we have gotten our culprit.. i hope we shall lie lay this whole sad
    episod to rest?
    The Chairman in Masaka who told rumours should be released?
    The presidents “itchy” fingers should stop itching?.. till the next
    “crisis”?
    Gook

  2. Very ridiculous and unprofessional involvement from the police. How can they
    merely “advice” him to go to report to another station?!?!?

    What if he changed his mind and just went away?!

    And what does the Katikiiro say+ Was there any such meeting?

  3. Readers,

    Please refer to the story of Sylvia Draru and the death of General James
    Kazini. You will discover a lot of similarities. 25 years in power is a
    long time. You easily become predicatable.

  4. Dearest Michael,

    Things are turning out to be a little funny! It reminds me a man who had
    killed an Egyptian Diplomat. Quickly Uganda went to Prisons and got one to
    say he did it! Ensi etulemye!!
    In the Death of Prof. Kayiira, it was feared that the man who claimed to
    have killed Dr. Andrew Kayira may have been murdered in prison. I had to go
    to court and ask the Judge for more time to help Prisons produce the
    accused. The Judge granted me final adjournment. I do not know if accused
    was ever found!!!. The file was in hands of a Principal State Attorney. I
    returned it to him. I was only a Seniour State Attorney.I know nothing about
    his death and was not even asked to handle his death file but to ajourn.
    Even the Scotland Yard report on the file was funny!. amaaso gange galabye

    Bagamba nti, Okukula kulaba.”

    Do you know who killed President Kennedy? Seems like the “insane man” in
    prison!

    Recently on CNN, former Governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura launched his
    book on Larry King Live,

    “American Conspiracies: Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies That the Government
    Tells Us,”

    Now, among the conspiracies he writes about, the assassinations of Lincoln,
    JFK, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, RFK. He writes about Watergate, stolen
    elections of 2000 and 2004, 9/11 and Wall Street.
    This transcript is a must read.

    Larry King asked him whether he believed in “conspiration theories”. Jesse
    said no, but went on to say ask Larry to read his book since the evidence
    was there and documented – he said it was public records.

  7. If you recall what i wrote here a few days after the burning of the shrine, i said that it was burnt by a mad man. It may be surprising but it might be the fact.

    Musoke according to what we have gathered is not entirely mad.He for example owns and runs several tipper trucks from which he earns a living. He is a religious extremist, but not entirely mad.

  8. It appears in the NRM government newspaper and the man claims to have committed the crime. A look at anoher crime: a woman claimed to have killed Gen. Kazini…. And see how it was all handled…..
    We know NRM’s style of confusing and covering up their own crimes. Who will believe them? Not me.. and I am sure there are many other Ugandans who can see through these tricks….

  9. “The witchdoctor-turned-Catholic reportedly claimed he got a vision in which the Holy Spirit showed him the trouble emanating from the masiro.

    Following the alleged vision, he ran to Kasubi where he tried to destroy the regalia, like spears and bows, but the guards allegedly restrained him. He went away only to return another day to set the tombs ablaze.

    “I went to the Katikkiro and narrated to him everything but he did not bother so I got a box of matches and set the place on fire,” he allegedly told the Police. He specified that he went through the backyard and lit a matchstick which he threw on the dry grass. It was not possible to get a comment from the Katikkiro by press time.

    Musoke’s sister, Nalongo Namiiro, recollected that Musoke left their home in Ndejje at about 4:00am yesterday, prayed and bid her farewell, saying he was going to Jesus’ place

    However, in the 1980s, Musoke developed problems and often went into trances, threatening to harm his family members. As a result, he sought the support of a Catholic priest who carried out a ritual at his home to exorcise the demons

    Musoke is the fourth suspect to be arrested in connection with the fire.”

    Now the big question is about the state of mind of this man. Further, the Katikiro is a key witness who can confirm whether he has ever met this man in his life or not. We shouldn’t also be oblivious of the fact that so far four suspects have been arrested. However, time will tell if any of them was ever involved or they are merely random victims.

  10. May be, but,Cankech, The police or any other law enforcement proceed from the statement regardless. Just like in law no one is guilty until proven otherwise. It applies in the police code also that they do not make such judgement. They should hold him and subsequently, forward him to proper instance

  11. Christine;

    From the news story, we have here a lunatic. The police should tread carefully, as public emotions are still high and the embers are hardly cooling! We need thorough investigations.

    We need to think twice as we read and make comments on this story,it may turn out to be a hoaxed April first fools day Story.

  14. One can easly predict the next move in this tragic comedy,the poor chap will hang himself in prison and the case will be closed.That’s today’s Uganda!

  15. This is what you do when you’re under pressure from the masses. You arrest a cabbage of a man, “any komamboga man” and blame him for torching the tombs. That way, you ease pressure off your self.

    What do you think we’re, jack asses or what??????????????

    You release this komamboga and arrest the real criminals now!!!
    John Nsubuga

  16. Get real. The man confessed. Your poko poko is getting you nowhere. If
    you know the real criminals, why don’t you just come out and say it.
    Leave the Police to do their job, intead of your unfounded and useless
    conjectures.
    Okiya, Richard Peter (R.P.)

  17. Leave the Police to do their job, so says the “rest in peace man”. Whatever happened to common sense, is not very common in our Okiya’s world after all…!!

  18. Dennis B,

    I believe that a self confessed “criminal” is easy to prove true or false if the investigators are serious. Let Mengo’s team also follow that link and see where it leads. However we must ask ourselves why a man that has committed such an act would come out to confess. The answer lies in sincere investigations.

  19. kasaija nicholas,

    Even the most dumb person like okiyas**t can see that the gorvernment wanted to clean the air by presenting a fear free soldier to take the blame on behalf of the real murders. UAH keep following this case it will fade and the said man will be released or silenced.

    when we say gorvernment is dead, that includes law body.

  20. kasaija nicholas,

    every body can now call them selves “musoke”, we need to arase imposters among our selves as baganda otherwise we will fade though the language will stay and names.

  21. kisawuzi,

    It is unfortunate that we still have Okiyas. For your infomation you can not fool all the people all the time. Very soon the pillars of lies on which the NRM government was built will crumble and it will crush into its own dust. All Ugandans more so Baganda should remember that the darkest hour of the night is the first hour of morning. Lets Unite behind our Kabaka! Awaangaale Nantakwata simu!

  22. justic in uganda courts at present is pigs fly.simple things like to report or give a statement in the central police station u need to buy printing papers,air time and security and all this is asked in open.If your a trader,you must have a high ranked officer number wheather your a thief or murderal etc does not matter.Locals cant even go to there police posts to report anything. Anyway before the gov’t arrest these men,the chief of police should be behind bars him self for failling to control his men.I think his duties are as theck as the president.

  23. John,

    Unfortunately, its the johns, richards, christines, …. if Nsubuga wants to be a jack ass, let u be, who is fooling who?/ do u pple really think before wasting ur precious time to write these things? or are convincing urselves that what u think is what is right. Before musoke goes to Butabika, some of you sh’d go there first, looks like we have more insane pple than… It surely takes an insane person to burn the tombs and insane pple to think that its the gov’t. come on guys, whats in amasiro of all things? how many stories have we read, ‘man hacks family of five, hangs himself, man 56yrs defiles child of 3yrs, Tonku’s story, suicide bombers, etc, do u pple live in this world? its takes some guts to kill smone, but a match box to burn the famous masiro. Remember the judgement you are giving others will be judged against you one day.
    Unless you hold those names by mistake, you need to repent. FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

  24. Bintu bizibu azaala mpanga kalyowa,

    Dear aboluganda mwena,
    Nze bampita Kalyowa muzukulu wa Bintu bizibu azaala mpanga ! The kasubi tombs/masilo/Muzibu azaala mpanga was burnt by the spirits of my Grandfather !!! why???????????

    When my wife gave birth to a baby,da masilo got burnt ! because the king on the throne is not a true blood of buganda kings/is not a true son of kabaka mutesa11. His mother slept with a witch doctor by the names of Mabeyu Zenga ,Currently in luweero,lukomera when she had failed to get a successor.
    How come he became king thou he had been rejected by the buganda spirits????????? 15 years ago,they poisoned my father,Misach Kato,a son of bintu bizibu azaala mpanga & in that same time,the king was crowned ! How?? the witch doctor used my so called mother ,naiga annet in kawempe where we stayed. How did we know all this info?????????????

    When my wife gave birth,the baby was also poisoned to death by an unknown person! Bt fortunately the hospital has hidden cameras & my so called mother was seen on camera poisoning my newly born baby! So cmi/security organs picked intrest !! tapped her phones & got alot of info leading to other govt top officials.
    So no one burnt da masilo.The fire just gutted from no whre as I The true blood of all famous kings of buganda had revoked the spirits of our famous kings !!
    So many calamites wil happen in buganda nomatter how they continue sacrificing Innocent human beings to tie down the spirits of strong men of buganda. theres a saying nti Obuganda Bukirana meaning the strong men stil live as i live…!!!!
