No sir Iddi Amin never printed money the money he used was real or Uganda would
have been in a very dangerous debt come 1979 so that attack is stupid too. All
I am looking for is an intelligent attack on Iddi Amin not innuendoes and not
far-fetched. But let me use your argument in another status, suppose Iddi Amin
printed money and it was of no value, can you compare him with Lt. Col. John
Ogole that simply closed off a district for five years? That to me is the value
I put in Iddi Amin, for as a president, Amin knew that the old ladies must be
fade. When a war and any war is instituted into a region, it is the
responsibility of the government to feed the noncombatants in the region. John
Ogole served no single plate to the people of Luwero and that is what makes him
a very pathetic man and Amin a great leader.
But Let me expand on that program of giving employees money and advances.
Uganda at a time was not computerized, but it is so surprising how serious the
government was running, I had as an example an identification called a PF
number with the Coporation, and by that number, the Coporation would go after
you to collect. Every employee whether a Police officer an Army Officer, a
prison officer , a government employee had such number. And to us we would go
to any post office in the country and get an amount you qualified for depending
on your position. My weekly limit of advance was 1500 Shillings. So since the
war started to when it ended, I was entitled to go to any Uganda Post office
location in the country and collect 1500 shillings as long as I identified
myself. If I went to a small location that never had cash at the counter, the
Post Master was authorized to endorse my savings account with 1500 shillings
and stamp it as cash at a weekly basis if I need to. I would take that savings
account book to any bank and collect the amount. The Cooperative bank had the
money, UCB had the money, standard Bank had the money, Libya Arab bank had the
money.
But I never burnt that money for I knew that with time they will show up and
collect it. I only collected what I needed and took only what my family needed
to survive through the war. And I remember so well for at a time I had bought
land I had started to build a house, and I would have bought so much cement and
all building materials I so dearly needed, and trust me in the 70’s 1500
shillings a week was a whole lot. Yet I never used that money for personal
gains for I knew Post Office would show up for it. And they were very good at
collecting. That is when you see that the soldiers were not stealing from you,
when Police Officers were not stealing from you, we had enough money to use for
Iddi Amin said so.
What happened to those advances? Come to think about it.
When The Ocen Nekyon arrived in Kampala, they walked out of the Tanzanian
misery and directly found that war fund running. Now the way it was structured,
it was an instruction to all heads of departments to see that their employees
are paid in advance to survive the war. But the fund was all over the country.
So the Ocen Nekyon never wanted to tap at what we were entitled to they walked
to the bigger bucks. As for us from Uganda Posts and Telecommunication, the
fund we were tapping into was from The ministry of Transport and Communication,
so were all other ministries. The Nekyons went to the ministries and took
everything out of that fund for personal use. Start to wonder how men like Lt
Col John Ogole that were in exile ended up buying houses in Kampala that fast,
they were tapping into the very same fund. In as much as those from Tanzania
had political differences, many of the deaths we had during Yusuf Lule and soon
after was due to that very same fund. Why were men like Odong Nayenda killed?
In as much as FRONASA murdered Ugandans in Kampala, but you had heads of
department that wanted to steal money from the ministries, so those that came
from TZ as they were handed the responsibility to run those departments, they
were split into two departments, those that wanted to steal the money and those
that wanted to save it for it belongs to the state, the thieves many times won.
Why was The Doctor’s village attacked? Were they political powers? Many times
it was due to the fighting of stealing such funds. The deaths that happened
under Lule and soon after was not a death of power hunger but a death of money.
As those that came from Tanzania were killing each other for the money, we as
employees started to prepare ourselves to pay back what we had borrowed, but
because accounting is a very stupid subject, when you go after EM and demand
the money he took you will end up with millions lost for it was stolen from the
top, so you’re better off not going after EM. The thieves of The Liberation
Front decided not to recover that money, and in as much as we waited and waited
for the cut offs to happen on our salaries it never happened. Up to today in
2014 no one has ever stood up to ask me for that refund and trust me if I get
the bill today I will pay it for I got the money, but the high ups do not want
to ask for it for they stole most of what Amin left in the sack. In fact on
the side of Posts and telecommunication, I think the Damaging Director at a
time was called Mubiru and he was shot and killed thanks to the very same money.
This money was not only stolen from departments but from banks too. All Tata
trucks, all tractors, and all Fiat 110NC you saw sold on parish levels, were
funded by banks mainly The Libyan Arab Bank for foreign trade and development
and Co-Op Bank, but because the Ocen Nekyons walked into Kampala and stole
everything they found in the sack, they never went after those that borrowed
the money from the bank. To today I do not know any Ugandan that paid Libyan
Bank back for the Liberation Front refused to ask for it and the bank never
wanted to be paid for it would not balance till when you go after those from
Tanzanian that stole most of it. There is a reason Iddi Amin is attacked
through generalities, The Gwokto know that they came to Kampala and stole
everything he left and they drove knew cars and bought houses without working
for it. In as much as Ugandans were looting the city, the John Ogoles were
going after hard cash from the government.
Stop to go after Iddi Amin for some of us know exactly what you did when you
came in with your poverty born in Tanzania. Geeez !!!!!

Mulindwa,
Amin printed money. But the NRM outfit after twenty damn five years, has no
excuse. Imagine police have resorted to the wife or is it first lady soon it
will be the son they will turn to. This is why in a federated north no such
bull will ever happen bcos we will look after our civil servants and law
enforcement officers like royalties. In the end we will poach all the good ones
from every state to work in the northern state.

“That is why Amin was best, when he gives you a gun then why ask him for
salary! -Wacha wuyo waginga!”
These are statements that raise the hair on my neck, there was never a civil
servant or any government employee under Iddi Amin that failed to ever get paid
a salary. I worked for Uganda Posts and telecommunication at a time, but I was
paid even throughout the war. Instructions were very clear during the war that
all employers must pay their employees, and if your area was taken over by UNLA
move to a safe place and see a department leader in that location, identify
yourself as an employee of the ministry or department and get paid a salary.
If you are running away for your location is under threat, go to your
department head and ask for an advance to run away with. These were specific
instructions handed over to all government heads and they had money piled up in
their offices to do exactly that. And I continue that organizations like
Uganda Posts and telecommunications, post offices had specific laws to deal
with cash, each Post Office had a limit of cash it must keep at hand and
anything up and above that amount had to be banked or sent to the headquarters,
it was a criminal offence for a post master to keep up and above the stated
amount on a location even if you had a single shilling above.
When the war started that law was removed from the books, so that Post Masters
get the ability to have enough cash at hand to pay their employees, and both
sides, the postal workers and telecommunication workers. I happened to be among
the communication employees. Post office locations that are East of the country
as Mbale Kumi Moroto Kaberamaido and soon, kept on handing money to employees
till even when Lule was removed from power because the law Amin put on the
books was still very in effect. All I needed to-do was to walk in any postal
location in the country, hand them my PF number and get cash advance. When the
situation settled all those advances were left on the Personal file numbers and
actually locations like Masaka had started to deduct their employees with the
money that was advanced, then UNLF screwed up and posts and telecommunication
screwed up and the entire process fell apart, by the time that realignment
arrived into Kampala the moneys was waived and never collected then the
Coporation collapsed by assassinating most of its Damaging directors. Uganda
Posts and Telecommunication remains an organization that every one that was
appointed a damaging director died of a bullet.
These were instructions that were followed by government organizations, private
organizations, banks, insurances and whoever you worked for. Why do you think
we can stand up today and compare Lt Col John Ogole to Iddi Amin and Amin beats
him up? Because there was no one that starved during the 1979 war for Amin
provided as much as he humanely would, yet Ogole went out of his way to make
sure that those in Luwero starved. Ogole provided for no one and every one’s
life was left to survive for you can fight Monkeys from the jungle and save
your selves Amatungulu. 5 years and Luwero had no government supply no money no
banks no power no telephone and no transportation, if you stupidly die you end
up buried into a mass grave and it did not have to be marked. And yes we can
hate Iddi Amin all we need but let us not lie to people, so we debate the man
intelligently. Now why did I pick up on this stupidity, for the statement you
made is true, but it was stated by Mobutu Sese Seko. The Congolese soldiers
complained to him that they were not being paid a salary, and he said that if I
hand you a gun and a uniform don’t dare ask me for a salary. Under Mobuttu
Congolese were never paid a salary.
Now Uganda small minds pulled it from DRC and lambasted it on Iddi Amin. You
people are so screwed up man. Geeeez !!!!!!!

Moroto/Amudat
Policemen deployed in Karamoja have appealed to the First Lady and Minister for
Karamoja Affairs, Ms Janet Museveni, to intervene and help them get their
unpaid salaries.
The police officers from Moroto and Amudat who spoke to Saturday Monitor but
pleaded not to be named for fear of reprimand, said more than 100 of their
colleagues deployed in Amudat, Moroto, Nakapiripirit, and Napak districts have
not received salaries since 2010.
The officers said they have petitioned their bosses several times to find out
why they are not getting their salaries but no clear answer has been given.
One officer added that on Friday last week, a team was sent from Kampala to
Karamoja to verify the officers’ records in the whole sub–region but many of
them were not verified because they were not aware of the verification exercise
and they had been away on duty.
They appealed to the Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura to redeploy them
near their homes so that they can do some additional work to earn a living and
sustain their families.
The Mt Moroto Regional Police Commander, Mr Okot Obwona, said they were still
sorting out the problem of deserting officers.
“Government has not failed to pay them, some officers’ accounts were closed due
to desertion. We are still sorting the issue,” he said.
Last year, about 300 police officers abandoned duty in Karamoja due to alleged
delayed salaries and lack of accommodation.
The Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Research and Operations, Mr
Edward Ochom, while receiving equipment donated by the UN recently, warned
police officers who had deserted that they had committed treason and would face
the law.
Meanwhile, a senior police officer said five policemen attached to Moroto
station had left for their homes and might not report back, over similar
reasons.
