When you lick the snake’s lips you get your death guaranteed. We have gone over
this over and over. I mean this man has been in power way too long for me to
even read a crap from the crappy mother. And as it is today I really don’t give
a back side whether he lives let alone die.
You all want money stand for the risks involved in picking it up.

In Summary
Scare. Army forced to move the two-time commander of the Ugandan contingent in
Somalia from Makindye barracks to Bombo Military General Hospital.
Kampala.
Brig Michael Ondoga, the two-time commander of the Ugandan military contingent
in Somalia under Amisom, is scheduled to undergo an emergency surgery procedure
today after he collapsed in military detention.
His family and the army separately confirmed that the one-star general is
admitted to Bombo Military General Hospital, about 20 kilometres north of the
capital.
“The condition is very bad,” his mother, Ms Antoinette Madrara, said by
telephone yesterday. “They should be merciful and release him on bail so that
he receives proper medical care. He is my son, he will not escape. I know him
well.”
Brig Ondoga has been on remand at Makindye Military Barracks since last October
on accusations of command and operational failures in Somalia against the al
Shabaab, which prosecution says resulted in the death of UPDF soldiers at the
frontline as well as loss or theft of military supplies and hardware.
The army suspended and placed him under investigation and restricted his
movements effective September 13, 2013, two days before he was due to take up
his new posting as the military attaché at Uganda’s High Commission in Nairobi,
Kenya.
The General Court Martial chaired by Brig Moses Ddiba Ssentongo last week, for
the fourth time during the trial, denied bail to Brig Ondoga, who said his
health was failing and he required specialised care.
He presented three brigadiers as sureties, but prosecution objected that the
accused posed a security threat and was likely to use his clout as a senior
officer to compromise witnesses.
His bail application is expected to come up for hearing again today, five days
after he collapsed last Wednesday and was hospitalised.
The Defence and Military spokesperson, Lt Col Paddy Ankunda, in response to our
question why Brig Ondoga was being treated at Bombo hospital and not in upscale
Nakasero and Kololo hospitals where other high-ranking UPDF officers like him
have the privilege to receive medical care, said “his condition can best be
managed at the general military hospital”.
“Our facilities are super, it can take care of any one and we have the best
doctors,” Lt Col Ankunda said on Saturday.
In an interview yesterday, the brigadier’s mother said his son felt “betrayed,
marginalised, and that he is being treated unfairly”.
Brig Ondoga, unlike other implicated senior officers such as the Uganda Media
Centre’s former deputy executive director, Col Shaban Bantariza, who were
detained at the Senior Officers’ Mess in Kololo, has been incarcerated for six
months at Makindye Military Barracks where conditions are less conducive for
inmates.
“He was arrested, detained and denied bail until his condition got grossly
unwell. What do they [UPDF] think about him?” Ms Madrara said.
The family says the brigadier, in addition to diabetes, developed a
complication related to the entrails, necessitating today’s planned surgery.
In West Nile, Ondoga’s home region, Christians have over the months organised
back-to-back church services at Pakelle, Adjumani and Moyo catholic missions to
pray for him.
Allegations against brig Ondoga
That in October, last year, Brig Ondoga failed to issue formal operation orders
to Battle Group X commander and under-deployed 1,000 instead of 1, 500 troops
for an offensive against al Shabaab in Afgooye-Baidoa, resulting in loss of
soldiers, including a tank and all its crew.
Prosecution avers that Brig Ondoga failed to investigate the circumstances
under which his junior, Warrant Officer II Kenneth Mugusha, deserted from the
mission and diverted 15,000 litres of fuel, which endangered operational
efficiency.
The Brigadier is also accused of having told lies to the Chief of Defence
Forces about juniors he was supervising in Somalia
