[Ugnet] Lord Mayor Ssebaana - We Can Help
Dear Lord Mayor Ssebaana Kizito Im writing to you this letter in hope that it will reach you in time. We have met before and I can still feel the remorse you showed when we discussed Kampala Urban planning problems. Mayor, I am dismayed that after all this long in position of Lord Mayorship of Kampala City, our beloved capital city, the conditions ruling into the city are only getting worse without any hope and tangible solution to issues afflicting our capital city. I am sympathetic to your own position as the Lord Mayor, since politicians are not in position to help you out with Kampala problems. Indeed that is not their problem; they have better things to worry about! Some observations have been made and are as follow: - In the middle of Kisenyi we have a dissenter waiting to happen. Kisenyi long ago was taken over by the Somali community with a strong culture of using narcotic type of drug the Kati (Mairunji) To the Somalis Kati consumption is a culture but not for desperate and miserable Ugandan who might get addicted to this terrible psychotic drug. Taxi drivers, some of them are now high on drugs if not drunker to manage pressure on them. The location of Kisenyi is a soar to the entire existence of the city. The situation that rules here obtains almost everywhere in Kampala and the surrounding suburbs: from the slums of Kansanga, Natete, Bakuli now extending beyond Kasubi to Wakiso, Mulago Kivulu, Kamwokya, Kitintale, Nagulu, Bwaise, Lungujja Kosovo etc. Poor people are living in deplorable conditions only comparable to pigs - this is unbelievable. - Traffic lights a very simple digital technology that would have mitigated some serious traffic problem on critical major city junctions has failed us. Yet we have a full faculty of technology and electrical engineering at Makerere and Kyambogo State universities. This is a serous matter, in light that only Japanese money and technology can do such a trick for an entire nation of 24 million people. - The cross junction at spear motors, Jinja, Ntinda road would have been remodelled and expanded into a wide circular junction with two lanes on all sides to speed up Ntida bound motor, traffic giving way to Jinja, Mukono bound traffic. In fact traffic from Spear motors side, will flow smoothly towards Kampala without stopping and those heading to Ntida will keep a right rule regulation. In a worst situation there would have existed traffic lights as in case of Wandegeya. - Your Lordship, you recently categorically stated that buildings in fire fighting vehicles ways will be demolished, however as the city is turning into an unplanned built environment, your very offices have solely sanctioned that situation. This is circumstances not only obtain in the inner city but everywhere in and outside Kampala city. What happens when Matatu old and NewTaxi parks were to catch fire were is the escape route wouldnt it be in order that these parks were order unsafe, health, architectural wise etc, to human traffic and thus closed off long time ago?! - We all like development but the architectural and topographical morphology (landscape) of beauty of city hills is aggressively being undermined. All over the city, hills are being excavated at an alarming rate without due consideration, to the physics of Kampala topology. Such acts have primarily resulted into increased soil erosion and mine landslides ending up into the valleys and blocking waterways, at a higher cost for KCC than estimated. The same situation at the both hills facing Namboole sports stadium, Gaba, Bunga, Mutundwe- Nalukolongo Natete section, the hill facing Banda and Kyambongo etc. It is appalling scenery to a trained eye, yet much could be done to mitigate the situation at a very low cost. - The recently acquired former Uganda Commercial Bank Building is being transformed, I hear to a residential and shopping mall facility on the once flower filled pavement - for goodness sake what does the physical plan of this particular location suggest it is horrible to say the least, architectural builds of historical value can be remodelled out of place of the environment into which they were originally modelled. -Many building (towers) down town facing the old tax parks though standing are in such a poor state that if Kampala City Council was a serious entity, these buildings could be condemn to closure. Tiles are piling off falling down on people and some structural models are so much under stress putting people in real danger. Mukwano has set pace and we should take a leaf to learn from him, how city malls can be modelled i.e. small is beautiful and enough. - Your engineers started digging open trenches to solve flood rainwater. In a modern city this is a disaster not only to human and motorised traffic. Whenever we have torrential rains, garbage is simply carried down stream

[Ugnet] Bigombe Returns
The British Col, remember him...the fellow the British Government dispatchedtoact as aco-mediatorwithMs. Bigombe duringthe failed "peace negotiations"between "kony" and Museveni's Movement Regime., apparently,as word from the grapevine has it, the fellow walked out very upset about the turn of Events.I hearthe fellow is somewhere in Kampala or perhaps has gone back to England to report his findingsto her Majesty the QUEEN's Government MK Bigombe Returns Email This Page Print This Page VisitThePublisher'sSite The Monitor (Kampala) March 19, 2005 Posted to the web March 18, 2005 Frank NyakairuKampala Ms Betty Bigombe, chief negotiator in the peace process to end the 19-year old war in northern Uganda has dismissed reports that she abandoned the peace process. "I'm in Burundi but I will come back to Uganda this weekend to continue with the peace process," said Bigombe on phone on Thursday. She was in Bujumbura on a post conflict assignment by the World Bank but said she had maintained contacts with the LRA and the peace process was still on. The head of the government peace team and Internal Affairs Minister, Dr Ruhakana Rugunda, said the government had maintained contacts with the LRA. "We have kept in touch with the LRA side through the mediator and the peace process is surely still on course," Rugunda said. But the peace process has suffered a host of setbacks including alleged sabotage by some military officials and the continued war crimes investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Meanwhile, a team of Gulu leaders is in The Hague to persuade the ICC to halt issuing the warrants of arrest for LRA top leaders saying this would jeopardise the peace process. __Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?

[Ugnet] UNDER ARREST FOR WEARING A REBEL UNIFORM.!!
For those of you who still believe in Yoweri Museveni so called transition to mutiparty politics in Uganda..he is a clue..were we are heading. As for me and many outher Ugandans, we have now pretty much given up on this so called " poltical transitions "...Indeed Museveni leaves many Ugandans with no option, other then using the option Museveni and his sycophants understand. Indeed, like I have always pointed out Museveni and his Sycophants will be and must be held accountable and responsible for any calamity which will surely befall upon our beloved nation. Peace fellow citizens. PS watch this internet forum..as events begin to unfold in Uganda!!! FDC Man Held Over Party Shirt Email This Page Print This Page VisitThePublisher'sSite The Monitor (Kampala) March 19, 2005 Posted to the web March 18, 2005 Jude LuggyaKampala The coordinator of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in Bwambala, sub-county, Rukungiri district has been arrested. Mr Christopher Turyahikayo was found wearing an FDC party T-shirt, which authorities said was a rebel uniform. Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu, the national FDC Coordinator for Organisation and Mobilisation, said Turyahikayo was arrested by the Rukungiri District Internal Security Officer (Diso), Mr Asuman Bwogi and the Sub-county Internal Security Officer, Mr Kajuna, on Wednesday at Bwambala trading centre. "They told him that he was under arrest for wearing a rebel uniform," Muntu said on Friday. He said the FDC head office in Kampala had protested to the President's Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Uganda Human Rights Commission, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director General of the Internal Security Organisation. "How can you arrest someone for wearing a party T-shirt? We would like to appeal to the national security organs to send specific information to their officers across the country to act responsibly not to harass members of the opposition because the country has opened up for multipartism," Muntu said in a protest letter. He said by yesterday (Friday) Turyahikayo's fate and his whereabouts were still unknown. An FDC official, Ms Ingred Turinawe, told The Monitor from Rukungiri that Turyahikayo's relatives came to the FDC office in Rukungiri after failing to get him at Bwambala Police Station. "We can't trace him. We don't know where he is; he is neither at Rukungiri Police Station nor at Bwambala Police Post," Turinawe said on telephone. The Officer in Charge of Rukungiri Police Station, Mr Stanley Rwamire, said they did not have Turyahikayo's name in their records. Relevant Links East Africa Uganda Legal and Judicial Affairs "We don't have communication to that effect. That name is not recorded anywhere in our files. That man could either be in Bwambala police cells or he was released," Rwamire said. The Divisional Police Commander for Rukungiri, Mr Okot Obon, refused to comment saying he was at a workshop in Mbarara. Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
