Countries do not set laws based on how their citizens are treated outside them,
we set laws for they are fair to our citizens. When laws are fair to our
citizens they do not have to be fair to other citizens, but with the same
argument we don’t invite you to come to our country and face our laws. China
did not invite Ugandans they went themselves, and as we travel into these
countries we need to clearly understand that the moment we land at their
airport, the nonsense of Uganda passport ends at the departure lounge of
Entebbe. The difference between Ontario and Quebec is an imaginary line, but in
Ontario I can make a left turn on a red light, if I dare do that in Quebec I
pay 180 dollars fine with two points on my driving license for it is regarded
as a driving through a red light. Now here is where it becomes interesting,
when I go to Ottawa Carlton there are traffic lights that are in Quebec and
somehow look as if they are in Ontario, Quebec Police watch them to target
Ontario plates for we forget the change of the law, and they make a killing out
of us. Should we use the plate of Ontario and play I did not know? No it is
their province and they passed the law and we have to obey it.
China does not want drugs in their country and if you go with-it you get
decapitated, can we change that? Heck no it is Chinese to change it or don’t
take the drugs. And if you believe that you will never face fair justice in
China don’t fly in. Now let me go after Edward Pojim’ s preach of Uganda
government is weak. One of the reason I enjoyed going to Uganda was that clean
smell of air at night, many of our suburbs here have that weed and crack smell
at night and you reach a point of getting tired of it. This smell is mainly in
poor suburbs for it is those that use drugs the most. Friends we have so much
crack and weed in Uganda that almost the entire city is covered by that smell.
Do you realize that? The nice breeze we used to get off River Nile and it so
covered Kampala at night has passed and the last time I was in Kampala I
thought I was in firkin Bronx. Am I the only man really worried that the speed
at which drugs has taken over Kampala is frightening? And because Kampala is a
tinny city you have no suburb to run to so you are stuck into it. Now I did not
take this note in other cities for I did not travel that much the last time I
was home, but in Kampala, it is a way infested crappy city with narcotics. The
way at which narcotics smell in Kampala at night must be a wakeup call for this
is very new in Kampala, the stench is totally unacceptable. Is China hacking
Ugandans to death for narcotics a stretch of the law really? Or they have the
balls to go after an eminent danger that is approaching Ugandans and we are
simply watching it grow by?
May be it is time The Edward Pojims of today wake up and smell the real God
damn coffee !!!!!! Geeez.

Subject: Re: {UAH} Ugandan Drug Traffickers Executed in China
UaH, I am not good at international law but I wonder why any foreign nation can
execute our men and women on THEIR soil unless they commit very heavy offences
on their citizens. I think we need to reinforce our embassies, commissions to
be able to re-assert themselves in such circumstances. There are so many
Chinese citizens committing grave crimes here and all our courts do is to
deport them! A one-on-one criminal account and hanging will awaken them. It is
their citizens who wanted the drugs, and our youth had the courage to deliver
them. Let them hung their drug addicts along our Ugandan traffickers.
UaH, please do not take this to mean George is pro-drugs, but iam annoyed that
some foreign country hangs our youth like some cat that strays onto your
compound. And Uganda stays mum!!

There is no question that most human trafficking for prostitution purposes into
Western countries is from China

why does China deal double standards by executing our citizens when theirs are
having free roam in East Africa? In Kenya two months ago a chinese national was
caught with tons,he filed and got released on bond.Then he was deported!We need
to upgrade our laws to death penalty for aggravated poaching and trafficking.

Ugandan Drug Traffickers Executed in China
Fred Opolot announced the executions of Ugandan drug traffickers in China
At least two Ugandans have been executed in China after being found guilty of
drug trafficking.
The Head of Public Diplomacy at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Fred Opolot on
Tuesday identified the dead as Omar Ddamulira and Ham Andrew Ngobi.
“The Ministry notes with concern, the growing tendency of some Ugandans
travelling abroad who indulge themselves in criminal activities such as drugs
and human trafficking,” said Opolot.
“The Ministry wishes to emphasize that such actions are criminal and attract
punitive measures including death, as was the recent cases of Mr. Omar
Ddamulira and Mr. Ngobi Ham Andrew who were found carrying drugs, convicted and
recently executed in China.”
The Ministry warned that “drug trafficking is a serious crime worldwide
attracting grave punishment. Further, the Ministry urges all our citizens
travelling abroad not to indulge themselves in such crimes to avoid the grave
consequences they attract.”
In late 2013, MP Nabilah Naggayi said that at least 46 Ugandan inmates were
facing life imprisonment or death row for crimes committed in China.
Nabilah said that among the Ugandan convicts languishing in Chinese jails, 23
were women with majority hailing from the Central region.
The lawmaker was quoting a report by MPs who had just returned from China as
part of an investigation into the arrests of Ugandans over criminal cases
especially drug trafficking.
The drug trafficking crime attracts a death penalty upon conviction.
“An additional 4 on top of the 46 are dead and are awaiting cremation because
the authorities give a maximum of 21 days to the loved ones of these dead
prisoners to pick up the bodies,” said Nabilah.
The legislator said the minimum sentence for the "lucky" ones when convicted of
such crimes is 15 years.
“That is why the Ugandan government through Parliament has to try and control
the situation. The embassy may need assistance from back home, from the
security agencies manning exits and entry points in the country, for them to be
more alert and vigilant to make sure these types of individuals do not leave to
go to, not only to China, but any other country in the world because drug
trafficking is one of the offenses that attracts tough and long prison
sentences,” she argued.
Drug cartel
The Police anti -narcotics department last Friday burnt 159 kgs of hard drugs
including cocaine, heroin and cannabis worth Shs109bn at a function held at the
Police barracks in Nsambya.
The Internal Affairs Ministry Permanent Secretary, Steven Kagoda, explained
that the effect of the drugs cuts across on social, economic and political
spheres of life and stressed the need to fight trafficking.
“We have found out that drug trafficking is directly related to illegal human
and arms trafficking which can easily lead to political turmoil in the region,”
Kagoda explained.
According to the Permanent Secretary, the vice has to be fought not only by
police but all other stakeholders in the country.
CIID Director, Grace Akullo, revealed that Uganda has of recent become not only
a transit but also a destination for drugs in the region which she said is
alarming adding that over 71 Ugandans are currently serving death sentences in
China over trafficking.
“We recently found out that cocaine comes from South America to Uganda and then
to Europe whereas Heroin is got from Afghanistan to Uganda and then off to
Europe,” Akullo noted.
She added, “Uganda has continued to participate in growth of drug trafficking
especially marijuana as recently 1.3 tons were seized in the UK and the source
was Uganda. If we were able to pass the Anti-Gay Bill and other bills, why not
pass anti-narcotics bill to help curb drug trafficking in the country? Our
counterparts in Tanzania and Kenya have strong laws against the vice and the
same should be applied to Uganda,” the CIID Director urged lawmakers.
Since 2011, 49 suspects have been arrested and prosecuted in Uganda’s courts of
law and paid fines to the tune of Shs35m.
The maximum penalty for a drug trafficker is only Shs1m, something police say
perpetuates the illegal trade with impunity.
