Ensi Kuyiiya ne Michael Mukasa Ssebowa

WIIKI ewedde twagambye nti omuntu asaana afuneyo omuntu oba abantu be yeegomba abasobola okumutuusa ku kugaggawala.

            Kino nakinnyonnyodde nga nkyesigamya ku nsonga nti tulina omukisa nti ebintu byonna ebyetaagisa omuntu okugaggawala eriyo abantu abazze babikola, guno ne ngutwala ng’omukisa kubanga ffe abaagala okufuuka abagagga kye tuba tulina okukola kwe kukoppa abo bye bazze bakola, tubisse mu nkola tulyoke tutuuke ku bye baatuukako ate tusinge nawo.

            Ensonga zino njagadde nnyongere okuzinogaanya oba kiyite okuzinnyikiza kubanga nkulu ddala eri oyo ayagala okuyitimuka, kubanga nkizudde nti ataazitegeere kijja kumubeerera kizibu nnyo okugenda mu maaso.

            Gye buvuddeko nnakunyumiza mukwano gwange eyali omugezi nga yaatukulembera buli taamu, kyokka nga gye yali ava okusoma bakutya nnyo era naye yakuvaamu mangu. Ndowooza nti singa yali yeekutte ku bantu abaali bamanyi obukulu bw’okusoma era  abasomye, osanga singa kati y’omu ku baakakensa betulina mu ggwanga lino, kubanga tulabye bangi abaali batalina fiizi, kyokka olwokuba beekwata abantu okugeza nga Bannaddiini, baaweererwa era ne basomera ddala.

            Kakensa mu kuwandiika ebitabo ayitibwa Oliver Goldsmith, olumu yagamba nti emirundi mitono nnyo omuntu gy’asobodde okwekulaakulanya nga talina muntu mulala gwe yeegomba okuggyako ye kennyini.

Katufuneyo ensonga ttaano zokka lwaki weetaaga omuntu oba abantu be weegomba:

1.     Bw’otunuulira era n’owuliriza omuntu ayitimuse mu nsi kikwanguyira okutegeera nti ebintu bisoboka era naawe osobola okukyusa obulamu bwo.

2.     Abantu bano abamu ojja kukizuula nti ebizibu bye bayiseemu bifaanana n’ebyo ebikufuukidde omuziziko olwo olyoke weeyambise enkola yaabwe okubivvuunuka.

3.     Ojja kukoppa enneeyisa  ye, okugeza obumalirivu, okwewaayo n’okulemera ku nsonga, ebintu naawe ebiteekwa obuteekwa okukutwala mu maaso.

4.     Ojja kuyiga enkolaye . Okugeza ng’okukeera okuzuukuka. Bw’onaatandikawo enkola eringa ey’omuntu gwe weegomba, naawe ojja kusobola okuyitimu mu bintu ebyo by’ayitimuseemu.

5.     Bw’onoofuna omuntu gwe weegomba, ajja kutuuka ekiseera afuuke ng’omutendesi wo. Kino kitegeeza nti buli lw’anajja n’ekintu ekipya, olwokuba ozze omugoberera era naawe ojja kukiyiga era oluvannyuma oteekwa okukifunamu.

Bwe tumala okutegeera omugaso gw’abantu bano, ekiddako kiri nti:

            Bantu ki abasaanidde okubeera ekirabirwako kyo?

Ekibuuzo kino kikulu era njagala kukiddamu bwenti:

a.      Noonya omuntu oba abantu abatuukirizza ebyo gwe by’oluubirira mu nsi.

b.     Funa omuntu alina ebyafaayo by’ebizibu ebyagala okufaanana n’ebibyo.

c.      Funa omuntu alina olugero lw’okugaggawala olukunyumira era nga buli lw’oluwulira ofuna ebbugumu n’ekinnyegennyege.

d.     Funa omuntu nga buli lw’ayogera owulira ng’ayogerera ddala ebintu by’owulira nga bye bijja okukutwala mu maaso.

e.      Bw’oba olina obunafu, okugeza ng’okubeera n’empisa ennungi oba okutuukiriza obuvunaanyizibwa funayo omuntu atalina buzibu na nsonga zino era ojja kumuyigirako.

Jjukira nti obwedda nkozesa omuntu oba abantu kubanga oyinza okwesanga ng’omuntu omu tajja kusobola kukutuusa ku by’oluubirira, kyenva nkusaba ofune asukka kw’omu kubanga kizibu okuzuula omuntu atuukiridde mu byonna.

            Kyokka okusobola okufuna mu byonna ebyogeddwa waggulu oteekwa buteekwa okuba ng’osobola okuddamu ebibuuzo bino:

I.                 Kiki kyenjagala okubeera?

II.               Biki byenjagala okutuukako mu bulamu

III.             Eriyo omuntu gwenneegomba ayinza okuntuusa ku biruubirirwa byange?

Ebibuuzo ebyo bw’osobola okubiddamu era n’ossa mu nkola byetwogeddeko waggulu ojja kuba osenvudde mu lugendo lwo olw’okugaggawala.

            ENGERO Z’ABAGAGGA: Ndi mugezi, nga mubuulire.

Donors could buy ARVs from Uganda

Saturday, 7th June, 2008


By Raymond Baguma

THE Global Fund (GF) will consider buying ARVs manufactured in Uganda if they are affordable and meet approved standards.

The executive director of the Global Fund Against AIDS, TB and Malaria, Michel Kazatchkline, said:

“As a donor, what I am ready to fund is the cheapest drug available, which is of
quality. It is okay if Uganda produces its own ARVs. The drug should be of
approved quality and cheap. Otherwise, I will ask the Uganda government to buy
drugs elsewhere.”

He was addressing journalists at the global meeting for HIV/aids implementers in Kampala.
The five-day conference at Imperial Royale Hotel attracted over 1,700 participants from Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

During the opening ceremony, President Yoweri Museveni criticised donors for setting stringent regulations to guide recipient countries during the procurement of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

Museveni said Uganda has constructed an ARV manufacturing factory, which will also manufacture malaria drugs and other antibiotics.

However, donor regulations provide that their funds should be used to buy drugs manufactured by foreign countries.

Kazatchkline said the Global Fund had committed more than US$11b to 136 countries during its six years in existence and that 60% of the funding benefits African countries, the main recipients.

Kazatchkline said he met President Museveni, who made a commitment to completing all investigations into the Global Fund scandal and the recovery of the embezzled funds.

Dr. Thomas Kenyon, the Chief Medical Officer of the US Presidential Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, said there were no strings attached to donor aid.

Rather, he added, donors only fund what the aid recipient countries need. “Country ownership is the basic principle by which we work. what we link to our funds is accountability.

The landscape is now moving out of the concept of donor-beneficiaries and moving to the concept of partners,” Kenyon explained.

Thousands walk to honour martyrs

Pilgrims pray at the Protestant shrine at Namugongo ahead of the martyrs Day celebrations today

By Anne Mugisa, Juliet Waiswa and Juliet Lukwago

THOUSANDS of pilgrims, some of whom have walked for weeks, converge at Namugongo today to celebrate the Uganda Martyrs Day.

Believers from Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, the DR Congo, South Africa and Europe will remember the courage of the 45 Christians who were executed on the orders of Kabaka Mwanga on June 3, 1886.

The young men stood by their faith despite Mwanga’s order to renounce Christianity between 1885 and 1887.

"Mwanga was angered that the converts put Christ above the king."

Instead of cringing from death, the martyrs sang hymns and prayed for their tormentors, who were headed by Mukaajanga.

A total of 45 faithful were either burned or castrated and dismembered as the Kabaka fought to assert absolute power over the kingdom.

Twenty-three of them were Anglican and 22 Catholic believers.

However, in 2002, Pope John Paul II beatified two other young Catholic boys, Daudi Okello, 16, and Jildo Irwa, 18, who were speared to death in Paimol, Gulu, in 1918 for teaching the Ten Commandments.

The earlier martyrs were mainly pages at Mwanga’s palace at Mengo and were drawn from Buganda, Bunyoro, Busoga and Toro.

The martyrdom led to an explosion of Christianity throughout Uganda, according to a web site for the celebrations.

The web site added that before the Namugongo gruesome executions, Christianity had been taught to a few, mostly members of Mwanga’s predecessor Kabaka Mutesa’s court.

As this year’s celebrations proceed, the Police have set up a post at Namugongo Catholic shrine.

Spokesperson Judith Nabakooba said any crime should be reported to the Police post.

The Police particularly warned visitors to watch out for pick-pockets and rapists.

The Police have also issued a traffic flow guide for the pilgrims.

Vehicles will access the shrines from both Kireka trading centre and Bweyogerere.

To reach the Catholic shrine, a visitor must take the Kireka-Kyaliwajjala route and turn to the right at the Kyaliwajjala Police post.

VIPs will also take the same route but turn right at the Kyaliwajjala trading centre.

Pilgrims to the Protestant shrine are advised to go through Bweyogerere trading centre and turn right at Naalya-Seeta road junction.

However, those intending to go to the Catholic shrine through this access should turn left at this point.

African Court: Govt. blocks Kanyeihamba

Charles Mwanguhya
KampalaOfficials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have blocked the re-election of Supreme Court judge George Kanyeihamba to the African Court on peoples and human rights saying

“he might use his position to embarrass the government of Uganda.”

Ministry officials want him replaced with longtime friend and colleague Justice Joseph Nyamihana Mulenga – a move that has strained a decades long friendship between Justice Mulenga and Justice Kanyeihamba.

Justice Kanyeihamba is known for voting to nullify the election of President Museveni on both occasions main challenger Kizza Besigye has petitioned the Supreme Court challenging the presidential election results.
In 2001 and 2006 he ruled that the election was rigged to such a level that it required nullification of the result.

Justice Kanyeihamba, who has served a two-year term at the 11-member continental court, is due for re-election when the Africa Commission convenes later this month or early next month.

Other colleagues Justice Sophia Akuffo Ngoepe of Ghana, Justice Bernard Makgabo of South Africa and Justice Jean Emile Somda of Burkina Faso, were elected to serve two years but are all eligible for re-election, according to a note from the AU secretariat seen by this Daily Monitor.
According to the charter establishing the African Court on Human and People’s rights, the court is comprised of 13 judges, out of these four are elected for a two-year term which is renewable, four are elected for a four-year term and five for a six-year term.

A trail of documents seen by Daily Monitor show a drawn out struggle between Justice Kanyeihamba, who believes he rightly deserves another chance to serve at the court, and a host of civil servants including Permanent Secretary James Mugume and foreign service officer Rosette Nyirikindi, who are determined to have him replaced by Justice Mulenga.

The political leaders at the top seem lost in the battle, at least according to the documents.

As the jostling continues, time is running out –and other member countries in the east African region may seize the opportunity to front alternatives.

According to a May 15 letter jointly addressed to Prime Minister Apollo Nsibambi, Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Kidhu Makubuya, Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa, Security Minister Amama Mbabazi and Internal Affairs Minister Ruhakana Rugunda, Justice Kanyeihamba calls the attempts to block his re-election a scandal.

The letter also copied to State Minister Freddie Ruhindi (Justice and Constitutional Affairs) and Isaac Musumba (Regional Cooperation) is titled The scandal surrounding Kanyeihamba’s re-election to the African Court on Human and People’s Rights.

Justice Kanyeihamba notes in the letter; “You will forgive me for taking the liberty to address you jointly on this matter which I believe that if not properly handled may damage the reputation of my government,” he wrote adding,
“I have also addressed you because each of you at one time or another heard about the goings on in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs behind (the) Hon ministers responsible, in an effort to stop Kanyeihamba from being re-elected to the African Court.”

The judge directly accused, in the letter, the PS, Ambassador Mugume, whom he says fabricated falsehoods to block his re-election.

Evidence seen by Daily Monitor shows that in an undated reminder, the AU Secretariat wrote to Kampala about the impending election process asking the member countries to submit their documents to the legal counsel at the secretariat in Addis Ababa by April 30.

The memo indicated that elections would be held at the 13th extraordinary session of the Executive Counsel in June/July 2008.

On April 17,h the Prof. Makubuya wrote to his counterpart in Foreign Affairs, Mr Sam Kutesa, indicating that “It is in Uganda’s national interest that Justice Kanyeihamba be re-elected,” this, he said in his letter, “is to request you to take the same view of the matter” and urged him to “quickly contact the legal counsel to the African Union with the necessary documentation and support the candidature of Mr Justice Kanyeihamba.”

Responding to the same, Ms Rose Nyirikindi, wrote on behalf of Ambassador Mugume to the Ugandan embassy in Addis Ababa, asking the embassy to forward Justice Mulenga’s CV to the AU Secretariat as Uganda’s choice for the job.

Ms Nyirikindi referred to an earlier communication, which Daily Monitor has not yet seen that apparently nominated Justice Mulenga.

Nyirikindi urged, “This is to request you to urgently confirm that the above candidature has been submitted to the AU Secretariat or the appropriate organ.”

But on learning of the effort to rig him out, Justice Kanyeihamba engaged high gear and contacted Prime Minister Nsibambi to intervene.

On April 24 Prof. Nisbambi wrote to the AU directly and indicated that “the government of Uganda supports the re-election of Justice Kanyeihamba.”

After Prof. Nsibambi’s letter, Justice Kanyeihamba reportedly relaxed given the PM’s weight, and knowing that his word would be final.

But shortly after, officials at the Foreign Ministry wrote to the AU, through the embassy in Addis asking them to “ignore” Prof. Nsibambi’s letter which they said was written in error and instead urged officials there to proceed with ensuring Justice Mulenga’s confirmation.

Ambassador Mugume yesterday played down the controversy in an interview with Daily Monitor.

“The government has the prerogative to select who should be its representative
to that court. Kanyeihamba has served one term and government using its
prerogative has decided to select someone else,”

Ambassador Mugume. Personal meetings Apparently Justice Kanyeihamba, a former Constituent Assembly member, two time minister and former MP was not willing to leave anything to chance, he met and discussed his fate and the efforts to block his re-election with Mr Kutesa, who denied knowledge of the attempt.

Mr Ruhindi assured him that the job was his and he had full government backing and Mr Isaac Musumba who not only assured him of government’s support but also personally moved with him to Ambassador Mugume’s office and left instructions that Justice Kanyeihamba’s name be submitted as Uganda’s nominee.

Mr Musumba left the two together to finalise the details as a desperate Kanyeihamba even offered to take care of the mailing (of the response) to ensure he did not miss the deadline.
According to one of the letters he wrote pleading his case, which Daily Monitor has also seen, Justice Kanyeihamba says that as soon as Mr Musumba had left, Ambassador Mugume told him that the minister’s instructions would not be followed.

How Mulenga got JobIn all the fracas, Daily Monitor has been unable to find a clear trail of how Justice Mulenga got into the picture and what efforts he made to ensure he takes the job.

But sources at Foreign Affairs said Justice Mulenga whose own term at the East African court has expired and is due to retire from the Judiciary at the end of this year, approached friends in the ministry trying to find something to do.

But some officials were already uncomfortable with Justice Kanyeihamba and sought to take advantage of the position at the AU which was technically falling vacant though current office holders had a chance to be re-elected.

But on learning that it was his lifetime friend, who was lined up to replace him, he opted for face-to-face talks.

Justice Mulenga apparently in a tense discussion in his chambers with Justice Kanyeihamba denied knowledge of his selection.

Sources within the Judiciary say the matter has created tension among the two judges and their private disagreement is beginning to filter through the closed doors into corridor discussions.

Justice Kanyeihamba refused to discuss the story with Daily Monitor only saying that he was “aware of the issue but it is being handled in government.”
Asked to give a more detailed comment, he said, “I don’t want to comment about it now.”Justice Kanyeihamba is due for retirement next year.
