    Musinguzi Johnson’s Team Googoro releases official statement on NRM primaries in Sheema County South, reveals next plan

    Mr. Musinguzi Johnson Byarabaha who lost in the recently concluded NRM primaries for Sheema County South MP seat has released an official statement about the polls. In his statement, he decried bribery and fraud that engulfed the polls and called for reforms.

    However with that fraud in mind, and the unfair process, he revealed that Team Googoro shall continue to mobilize
    masses on how to make the best choice for themselves, their children and grandchildren for a bright future.

    Musinguzi Johnson Byarabaha

    Below is his full statement; “Greetings to all our people of Sheema South. We thank you for turning up to vote in the
    elections on Thursday. Those that voted in favour of #TeamGoogoro from Murama, Bihanda, Ruhorobero, Irashagye, Bigona, Buzima, Kagorogoro, Rukararwe, Rwenkurijo, Nyakabirizi, Kimondo etc, THANK YOU!

    This election provided an opportunity to the people of Sheema South to elect a candidate who had the best plan (Marshal Plan) to develop the area as outlined in our manifesto and during
    candidates’ joint campaigns. That candidate was; Musinguzi Johnson Byarabaha of TeamGoogoro.

    However, this opportunity was sacrificed in favour of cash bribes that were being given out by camps of other candidates. We have evidence on record which involved buying off our agents on the morning of voting and leaving Team Googoro candidate without representation.

    Those bribed to vote did so at the expense of their future that includes their children and great grandchildren. History will absolve us. With that fraud in mind, and the unfair process, TeamGoogoro shall continue to mobilize masses on how to make the best choice for themselves, their children and grandchildren. This process starts NOW and will not end until Sheema South is liberated from the whims of
    beyendezas (selfish) that have superintended over the continued backwardness of our area for
    31 years. #TeamGoogoro shall keep you posted on every step taken with all options WIDE OPEN
    WITH AN EYE ON THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTIONS.” Musinguzi Johnson Byarabaha.

  • M7 speaks out on just concluded NRM Primaries

    M7 speaks out on just concluded NRM Primaries

    President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who also doubles as NRM Chairman has spoken out on the just concluded NRM primaries and the solutions to curb rigging. Below is his full statement;

    The NRM fraternity.
    Greetings and congratulations on the massive turn-out. You showed the world what democracy means. I congratulate those who won. I also congratulate those that did not win but who participated.

    Unfortunately, there are shallow people who resort to shallow schemes to steal the power of the people. These do the following: bribing, intimidation, altering declaration forms, even attacking and injuring people, using the underage to vote, importing voters from other areas etc.

    These are all shallow schemes that are easy to expose. The 2nd Law of Moses says: “Thou shalt not worship idols”. The emphasis put on DR forms is worshipping idols.

    The real thing is what happened in the village. 200 legitimate voters lined behind candidate “A” and 100 lined behind candidate “B”. Similar exercises happened in the 606 villages of Luwero district, for instance. The elections are finished.

    The rest is simply totaling up. It is an exercise in futility for anybody to create a new reality on DR forms that is not in the villages. Anybody who participated in such transparent criminality commits fraud and the sentence for fraud is 3-5 years in prison. This crime is easy to prove because in the example of the village X we used, there are 300 witnesses – the 200 that voted for A and 100 that voted for B.

    Therefore, the aggrieved candidates, get facts from a sample of villages from your village agents, who must speak truthfully otherwise they will also be charged with aiding and abetting a fraud as well as making false declarations, the Police will cross-check and criminal proceedings will be initiated.

    The same with other crimes- bribery, intimidation, assaults etc.; just get facts. We should not allow crooks to pollute our massive force that you saw yesterday. Down with crooks. I am not Tanga Odoi but my entering from the criminal side, which is my Constitutional duty as President, will help Tanga Odoi. Help us with the facts. Congratulations again. Ykm.
