Bobi Wine Re-arrested

News reaching our desk is that Ugandan pop-star cum politician Bobi Wine has just been re-arrested by the Ugandan police under the instruction from their despotic President Yoweri Museveni.

Bobi Wine’s wife Barbie Kyagulanyi shared a video on Facebook showing her husband being whisked away by security forces at Entebbe airport.

Bobi was abducted at the the airport where he was to travel to the UK to seek specialized treatment after being tortured by army officers.

Barbie said that the security forces manhandled the sickly MP before whisking him away to an unknown location via the airport’s departure section.

“Security forces just manhandled my husband and and whisked him away to an unknown destination from Entebbe airport. He groaned in pain as he called my name to save him from being taken by his tortures again. They forced him into an ambulance and drove out of the airport departures section.” Barbie posted on her official Facebook page.

Wine was supposed to travel to London for specialized treatment after his release on bail on Monday, but it seems that is not going to happen.

Bobi, whose officials names are Robert Kyagulanyi has been charged with treason.



They were arraigned over their alleged role in the pelting with stones of the President Yoweri Museveni’s convoy after a local election rally.

Bobi Wine, who can barely walk without the help of crunches, will be admitted at the Royal London Hospital where he will receive treatment after extensive torture while in jail for close to two weeks.

Norbet Mao, a Uganda politician and one of Bobi Wine’s lawyers, said the MP for Kyadondo East and his colleague for Mityan Municipality Francis Zaake will both to be treated at the hospital.

“We are in touch with a doctor Martin Griffin of London Royal Hospital who is supposed to receive both Zaake and Kyagulanyi,” Mao told reports moments after the MPs were released on bail.

Judge Lucy Gitari Declines to Opt Out of Martha Karua's Governorship Case

By: Unknown on April 06, 2018 / comment : 0 ,

High Court Judge Lucy Gitari has refused to opt out of the Kirinyaga governorship race as requested by former Gichugu MP Martha Karua.

The judge, who had initially thrown out the petition, stated that Karua wants a judicial officer who will rule in her favour in her case against current Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru.

"Even though I am the petitioner, I am also a trained and practising lawyer hence IEBC and Waiguru's lawyers should accord her me the respect I deserve," she stated.

Through lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, the Narc Kenya leader had filed an application seeking the presiding judge Gitari to disqualify herself from hearing the petition afresh.

Karua remarked that she cannot trust to get justice from the same judge as she was "biased".

She further expressed concern that in her earlier ruling, the High Court judge used unnecessary strong words.

"In your ruling, you said the petition was highly defective, hopeless and dead that construes to mean even if you hear it a new it cannot be resurrected,''she asserted.

Mr Imanyara also faulted the judge for failing to record Ms Karua's submissions while she was dismissing the election petition.

During the petition hearing last month, the former legislator demanded to be accorded respect by Waiguru's lawyers and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Speaking in the courtroom, she reiterated that she was a practising lawyer and hence, demanded to be addressed as a learned petitioner.

Woman Who Helped Raila Get State House Invite Jailed for 24 Years

By: Unknown on April 06, 2018 / comment : 0 ,

President Uhuru Kenyatta with NASA leaders at State House when South Korea ex-president Park Geun-hye visited Kenya in 2016.

Former South Korea President Park Geun-hye was on Friday sentenced to 24 years in jail after she was found guilty of corruption.

Ms Park made headlines in 2016 when she allegedly requested to meet with Opposition leader Raila Odinga at State House, Nairobi, during her visit to Kenya.

The former president's trip to Kenya saw the former Prime Minister alongside Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula invited to State House for a luncheon.

At the time, the Opposition - under the CORD outfit - had organised heated anti-Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) protests.

Mr Odinga emerged from the luncheon claiming that he and the President Uhuru Kenyatta had agreed to reform the IEBC, a claim that was strongly refuted.

She was surrounded by controversy soon after it was discovered that she purchased 360 erectile dysfunction pills (Viagra) for the Kenya trip.

Her South Korea office explained that the drugs were purchased to assist her and her entourage to treat altitude sickness.

Al Jazeera reported that the disgraced leader was also fined an equivalent of Ksh1.6 Billion after spending the past year in custody awaiting trial.

Ex-president Geun-hye was accused of colluding with a friend, Choi Soon-sil, and a former presidential aide to bully companies into funding her foundations.

In addition, she was convicted for soliciting bribes from the Samsung Group in exchange for government favours.

Miguna Deportation I am likely to lose my job - emotional Matiang'i confesses

By: Unknown on April 06, 2018 / comment : 0 ,


Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, Immigration PS Gordon Kihalangwa, and Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett have now admitted that they are technically unfit to hold public office.

The three officials made the confession while appealing a ruling that found them guilty of contempt of court after they failed to produce NRM General Miguna Miguna before the High Court.

They were also sentenced with a fine of Sh200,000 that is supposed to be deducted from their April salaries.

In response to the charges, the powerful CS has now pleaded for the Court of Appeal to suspend the conviction, stating that it was likely to cost him his job in the government.

"The erroneous declaration that I have been in violation of Article 10 of the Constitution instantly and immediately renders me technically unfit to hold public office".

"I am likely to lose my position in the public service based on decisions and orders arrived at irregularly and unprocedurally.

The declaration also undermines and erodes the public confidence required of a person holding my position and exposes me to stigma and public ridicule,” he stated in a sworn affidavit.

Matiang'i, while appearing before a Parliamentary committee, showed his belligerent side, accusing Justice George Odunga of being malicious when convicting him and two of his colleagues in government.

Matiang'i had also threatened to initiate disciplinary action against Justice Odunga before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), even though that complaint has not been made.

Uhuru, Raila ordered my deportation, Miguna now claims

By: Unknown on April 05, 2018 / comment : 0 ,

Besieged lawyer Miguna Miguna has now suggested that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga are behind his deportation to Canada.

"This order could only have come from the President himself and I suspect even those he has entered into deals with," Miguna told a Turkish TV on Wednesday night.

Though he did not mention Raila's name in the NewsMakers interview, Uhuru has only entered into a deal with the Opposition leader to enforce reconciliation and peace.

In a rare show of unity in March, the two told Kenyans they had set their differences aside and would work to unite the public.

The two met at Harambee House office of the President before addressing the press.

They neither specified their strategies nor took any questions.

"It is not easy for the Interior CS to disobey 10 court orders on my release. They wanted me to return to Kenya as a foreigner... and then decide to remove and detain me anytime they wanted,"Miguna said.

Noting that the struggle and liberation continues, the lawyer said he will fight against oppression until justice is served.

"Today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King. He represents civil rights struggle against oppression... Nelson Mandela went to jail for the same... many people have gone through the same experiences," he said.

"... no matter what the oppressors do, no matter how brutal they are, eventually they will lose and in this case, they will lose...I will continue with the liberation of Kenyans...the fact is that 10 court orders say they are wrong and I am right."

The deported lawyer was sedated before he was moved to Dubai then to Canada last week.

But the Interior CS Fred Matiang'i claimed that the lawyer was not deported.

The Cabinet Secretary said this when he faced the National Assembly Security committee on Tuesday.

He added the lawyer and self-declared leader of the NRMKe was not deported and that his passport was not confiscated.

"Miguna was not deported. We removed Miguna as an undocumented, unestablished passenger on transit to his last port of call," the CS said.

Miguna finally arrived in Toronto, Canada, after spending four days at the Dubai International Airport.

Lawyer Nelson Havi said Miguna travelled to Canada on his own volition and with the assistance of the Canadian consulate in the UAE.

He left for Canada to seek medical examination, Havi said.
