"For two days I was put in a pit where I stayed without food," a tearful Musoke told this reporter.He said his captors took the list of ghosts he had compiled. Musoke's woes began in 2001. As a paymaster then in the DR Congo, he informed army headquarters that the UPDF was losing Shs 300 million monthly on non-existent soldiers (ghosts) on the payroll
Mwami Musoke...you man of no vision who told you to compile the list of this "ghost soldiers"? How many times have you been told that the NRM does not want to know the truth... you should have cooked some sort of a lie...say something that UPDF ghost soldiers put up a gallant fight against Mai Mai, Interherwe, Rwanda Army or what ever armed group there is now in Ituri forest...that would have pleased Museveni ....in short you should have pandered .. or rather act like a sycophant to the powers that be in Kampala.
Perhaps you could quietly obtained your "cut" in the Shs 300 Million. But you had to speak out...and now your price for speaking out is to end up in a pit!

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
