The Observer Newspaper says the arrested controversial blogger landed at Entebbe International Airport on 8 August, 2021 but the airport manifest for August 7-8 was allegedly confiscated by Special Forces Command (SFC).
According to security sources, Lumbuye arrived in the country aboard Turkish Airlines, which touched down at Entebbe International Airport on Saturday at around 3 am.
He was held at the police station in the passenger terminal for two hours where he was interrogated and whisked off to Kampala. Multiple security sources say that Lumbuye was escorted by Turkish security operatives who took him through immigration and the police station for clearance.
He was taken to the Turkish Embassy for further management until when he was handed over officially to the government.
“Fred Lumbuye is reportedly being held at Gulu Airforce base in northern Uganda as security continues to hunt for 11 of his alleged conspirators who ‘were feeding him with state secrets,†The Observer stated on Saturday.
Earlier today, the National Unity Platform (NUP) Secretary General David Lewis Rubongoya revealed that Lumbuye who was arrested last week might have been brought into Uganda by President Yoweri Museveni’s government using mafia-style.
Responding to the numerous questions and concerns regarding the case of Lumbuye, Rubongoya said that as NUP, they have tried everything to locate Lumbuye but the efforts are still futile.
†He may still be in Turkey, but he might have been brought into Uganda mafia-style. That is why our efforts have been multi-pronged.As soon as we have new information, it will be shared accordingly,†Rubongoya said.
On Monday, Uganda Police said Lumbuye was not in their custody.
While addressing the media, the force’s spokesperson Fred Enanga said that they however have 15 cases that they will bring against the controversial blogger once he is handed over to them.
“We don’t have Lumbuye but what we have are 15 case files against him. Don’t ask us if he is here or not because we don’t know but as soon as he is handed over to us we are ready, †Enanga said.
“When he is handed over to us, we shall come out with the full statement. Whether he is in the country or not, as police once he is handed over to us we shall process him with the 15 file cases we have on him,†he added.
The prepared charges he said, include among others spreading harmful propaganda and terrorism videos, inciting violence and other cyber crimes.
Following the arrest , the State Minister for Foreign Affairs Henry Okello Oryem, confirmed to journalists at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs offices in Kampala last Friday that the plane transporting Lumbuye was expected to land the following day at Entebbe International Airport before he is charged with promoting sectarianism and instigating violence.
However, despite the Minister’s confirmation about Lumbuye’s deportation, the blogger is yet to be seen anywhere in Uganda.

Failure to do so, Museveni has directed, they should face the full wrath of the law.
“Rubbish, they should return back all that they’ve been stealing. My girl (Col. Edith Nakalema) recently forced some thieves to return over Shs26bn back into Government coffers, the same can be done to these ones, after the report implicating them, †Museveni ordered as quoted by the source.
“All implicated officers should be referred to the IGG for prosecution and possible recovery of public funds. But ensure that disciplinary, dismissals, termination of contracts, prosecutions and interdictions are carried out expeditiously and following legal procedures,†the source further quoted the President.
He said in the meantime, the permanent secretaries of the ministries of Works and Transport, as well as that of Finance should handle matters of Uganda Airlines Ltd.
A number of these officials have been accused of extorting money from job applicants, bungling procurement contracts, recruiting relatives, friends and church members across the networks, maintaining ghost workers on the airlines’ payroll and giving jobs to unqualified pilots at the expense of the safety of passengers, noted our source inside the Airline.

Background Of The Matter:
In May this year, President Museveni suspended for three months the Airlines top managers including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Muleya, a Zambian national , and then ordered for forensic investigations on a number of allegations. Among them; using a national carrier to smuggle alcohol into Somalia, an Islamic state, nepotism, corruption among others.
After suspending Muleya’s team, Museveni brought back Jennifer Bamuturaki, whom the then CEO Muleya had fired after her six months probation period, claiming she couldn’t match with his ‘brilliant team he wanted to assemble to run business at the airport.
Also, during the recourse, Museveni immediately deployed a no-nonsense investigator Brenda Wadri from State House to investigate the rot in the Airlines.
Meanwhile, Wadri’s audit has since found the team connived in fraud and forgery, falsification of documents, best-evaluated bidders presenting forged tax clearance certificates; poor record-keeping, poor planning, unfair evaluation, unjustified use of direct procurement, missing payment records, contracts signed against expired bids and irregular procurements among others as summarized above.

The youth say eversince Eyeru assumed office last year, he has been incompetent and to have audience with him is as difficult as to grasp a shadow.
They say due to such reasons, they have decided to vote him out and replace him with an appealing leader who will properly represent their interests as youth in Uganda.
The youth reached the decision on Wednesday following their foiled Annual General Meeting at NYC head offices in Ntinda, Kampala.
The disgruntled youth were denied access to their offices by security officers on orders of Eyeru and his colleagues. The commotion also led to the arrest of some youth who were briefly detained at Kampala Central Police Station (CPS). They were accused of inciting violence.
The youth also pin their chairperson along with some members of his administration of meeting President Yoweri Museveni without their knowledge. They say Eyeru and colleagues never bothered to reach out to them to find out what they wanted Museveni to do for them, all they did was to present their personal needs to the President.
Gordan Musinguzi, the Nakaseke Youth chairperson says Eyeru and his administration want to conspire so that they embezzle the funds Mr Museveni gave to them to run the youth affairs across the country.
“After finding out that they want to steal our money, we have decided to impeach Eyeru using the law that governs our leadership as the youth,†Musinguzi said.
Musinguzi also revealed that they are planning to report the matters to President Museveni.

He disclosed that when they learnt about Lumbuye’s arrest,they set out to contact their diaspora leadership team in Turkey, but unfortunately they did not have a lot of information regarding this case.
“We contacted some of Lumbuye’s close friends to try and establish what information they had on the matter. They connected the team to a lawyer based in Turkey â€" One Mustafa Demir, who they said was responsible for the case. That lawyer did not allow Hon. Zaake (who was traveling to Turkey) or anyone else to see him physically although he spoke to them on phone. He demanded legal fees worth 71,000 USD. We all thought this was a lot of money, and different people tried to negotiate the amount down, but they were unsuccessful,â€Rubongoya said.
“Our diaspora leadership team set out to fundraise for the legal fees, while we engaged other processes. Many Ugandans in the diaspora responded to the call and contributed money through the different diaspora chapters (countries).At some point Mr. Okello Oryem, Gen. Museveni’s minister for foreign affairs came out and claimed Lumbuye was being transported to Uganda and that he would arrive last Saturday morning. Several team members, including Hon. Muwadda were at the airport all night, and did not see Lumbuye being brought in that day. We had put the legal teams on alert to immediately take on the case upon his arrival, which didn’t happen. We engaged with the Turkish embassy in Uganda, but they did not disclose any information. Efforts to get information from the Ugandan authorities have also been futile to date.â€
The Secretary General also said that in Turkey, efforts were ongoing to try and engage the lawyer over there, but for reasons best known to him, he was hesitant to meet any of their people.
†It was at that point that we took a decision to send part of our legal team to Turkey to establish what exactly was going on. We reasoned that it would be improper, even if the required money was raised, to just hand it over to someone who no body had been allowed to meet physically. Secondly, we wanted at least one of our lawyers to be taken to where Lumbuye is being held for a proper understanding of the situation.
“Therefore Comrade Wameli Anthony and Comrade Muwadda Nkunyinji left Uganda for Turkey. Upon arrival, they attempted to meet the lawyer, but he declined to meet them. Hon. Muwadda visited the law firm which the lawyer ostensibly heads, but he only interacted with his juniors. The following day, they both went back to the lawyer’s chambers and waited all day for the lawyer to see them, but he did not show up. It is important to note that all the earlier statements made by different leaders regarding this case were premised on the assurances given by the lawyer, who was introduced to the team by Lumbuye’s known friends.â€
Rubongoya further stated that Wameli and Muwadda have since decided to engage another lawyer in Turkey (Adnan Sahin) who has been useful and with his assistance, the local lawyers have been able to contact different Turkish authorities and visited some detention centres for information.
“Although they have gotten some leads, they haven’t been able to establish with certainity where Lumbuye is.We have assurance from our diaspora leadership team that all the money collected for this case thus far is still intact, and it is still in the hands of the respective diaspora chapters.
“In Uganda, part of the legal team yesterday filed a habeas corpus application seeking to compel the regime to produce Lumbuye before a competent court if he is in their custody. The premise of this application is that the minister owned Lumbuye and claimed he was being returned to Uganda. There has also been unconfirmed information that he was stealthily brought into the country. We also saw a temporary travel document being circulated online but we couldn’t ascertain its authenticity.â€
Rubongoya also disclosed that currently it is difficult to tell with certainity where Fred Lumbuye is at the moment.
†He may still be in Turkey, but he might have been brought into Uganda mafia-style. That is why our efforts have been multi-pronged.As soon as we have new information, it will be shared accordingly,†he concluded.
]]> Ladies-Here are 10 types of men you should never get married to https://www.watchdoguganda.com/entertainment/lifestyle/20210814/119237/ladies-here-are-10-types-of-men-you-should-never-get-married-to.html Sat, 14 Aug 2021 08:24:06 +0000 https://www.watchdoguganda.com/?p=119237 If you are a woman and you want to get married, you need to be smart about your dating. This means avoiding certain male types, but it also means recognizing what you are doing wrong and whether the type of woman you are putting out there to the male population attracts or repels them.Here are the 10 types of men you shouldn’t marry:
1. The Late Night Texter
You know, the guy who only texts you after midnight. He’s the guy who only contacts you when he wants something or someone to talk to. You can go weeks without hearing from this person, only to rarely get a text full of smiley faces and a message that reads, “Hey! How are you?†They aren’t consistent. Don’t fall into the trap.
2. The Slacker
He’s the guy who has no dreams, vision, or passion to get up and do anything. Don’t let his smooth words trick you into a relationship that will be full of dull moments and half-hearted plans.
3. The Liar
Don’t trust a man who is constantly lying to you. If you continue to ignore his inconsistencies, he could eventually do something detrimental to your relationship.
4. The Flake
This is the guy who calls off dates, constantly changes plans, and never shows up when he promises. If you think this will change once you’re married, you’re wrong. A flaky man will never put his woman first.
5. The Cheat
I’m all for grace and second chances, but the last thing you want is to find yourself in a marriage with someone you can’t even trust. I’m a huge believer that everyone can change, but please don’t get caught up in the lie that cheating is just a normal part of life. You deserve better.
6. The Partier
Stay away from him. Although he may seem fun and outgoing, I guarantee you will be better off with someone who stays away from gatherings full of bad mistakes and regretful decisions. The lifestyle of a partier never fits well with the maturity needed in marriage.
7. The Fake
He’s the guy who claims to be one thing, but in person never steps up to the plate. Not only is this unfair to your relationship, but you need to understand this isn’t going to stop anytime soon. Look for a man who is who he claims to be. Fakes can only pretend for so long.
8. The Hypocrite
He goes back and forth between his beliefs, standards, and regulations on life. Most of the time this man will change things to better suit his personal life. Don’t expect yourself to have a thriving relationship with someone who is constantly hypocritical in their words and actions. Never get married to a hypocrite.
9. The Flirt
This man loves to flirtatiously chat with strangers, waiters, and even your friends. The man you should seek is one who flirts with you and only you, no matter the circumstance. That last thing you want is to be married to someone who will deliberately flirt with people in front of you, let alone behind your back.
10. The Jerk
Simple. Don’t marry a jerk. You deserve more than that this guy can offer you. Look for someone who is kind, generous, selfless, and chivalrous. The last thing you want is to be embarrassed about bringing your man in public, all due to his attitude. Not to mention, verbal abuse is a widely spread problem that I don’t believe any woman should have to encounter.

The 5 justices, Rubby Opio-Aweri, Faith Mwondha, Dr Lillian Tibatemwa, Ezekiel Muhanguzi and Percy Night Tuhaise in unison dismissed BoU’s bid to substitute Crane Bank in Receivership with Crane Bank in Liquidation a move the justices said would fundamentally alter the facts the case and deny both Dr. Sudhir and Meera a chance at justice.
This latest application to switch parties emanates from the 20th of October 2016 statutory takeover of Crane Bank Limited under the Financial Institutions Act and subsequently placed it under receivership on 20th January 2017, before selling its assets and liabilities to dfcu Bank on the 25th of January 2017.
Thereafter Bank of Uganda, through Crane Bank in Receivership sued Sudhir Ruparelia, one of the Shareholders of the bank, together with Meera Investments Ltd
Before the main case could be heard, Dr Sudhir and Meera, raised preliminary objections through the High court in which they argued that Crane Bank in Receivership had no basis for suing since the law did not allow a company in receivership any powers to sue or be sued.
The High Court sustained the preliminary objections and dismissed the case Bank of Uganda and ordered it to the costs of the suit to Sudhir Ruparelia.
Dissatisfied with the High Court ruling, Crane Bank Limited in Receivership filed an appeal, but the appellate court maintained that a company under receivership can’t sue or be sued.
Crane Bank Limited in receivership then appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal in the Supreme Court, which is pending resolution.
To stop Dr Sudhir and Meera Investments from enforcing the ruling of the Court of Appeal to regain their company, Crane Bank Limited in Receivership also filed Supreme Court application against Sudhir Ruparelia which was dismissed.
Following this court defeat of the Bank of Uganda on 15th November 2020, BOU issued a public notice in the Sunday Vision newspaper to the effect that it had placed Crane Bank Limited under liquidation and ordered the winding up of its affairs. Dr Sudhir Ruparelia then filed Supreme Court Miscellaneous Application Nos. 39 and 40 of 2020 against Crane Bank Limited in Receivership and BOU seeking interim and temporary injunctions respectively to stop BOU from continuing with the liquidation process. However, the court also dismissed this application on 22nd December 2020.
Following this ruling, Bank of Uganda, this time, through Crane Bank (In Liquidation) went to the Supreme Court asking to switch itself with Crane Bank Limited in receivership as the substantive party in the Supreme Court Appeal a move that the five justices have now dismissed saying it was a move in bad faith and an attempt to circumvent the main issue in the appeal- which is whether a company in receivership can sue or be sued.
The justices also ruled that the very nature of the amendment sought by BoU would fundamentally change and alter the facts of the main appeal.
They also ruled that the Bank of Uganda’s latest application was in bad faith since it was made with the full knowledge that it would impact the main appeal.

I was speechless for a couple of seconds amidst laughter from audience. I then shouted “Thank you Sir, however…….,†in order to partly regain attention of the audience.

According to an in-depth survey conducted by an online platform, 27% of younger men were found to be attracted to older women.The same survey also revealed that 9% of single people were likely to pursue partners who are ten years older or younger than them. Have we left you wondering why would a younger man be attracted to an older woman? Or can a younger man fall for an older woman? To try and understand this statistical trend, we give 15 reasons why older woman younger man relationships work.
15 reasons younger men fall in love with older women
Anyone would be drawn to a mature, sensible, patient and intelligent woman, no matter what the age. While a young mind wanders, a matured mind lends stability to a relationship. They are secure in their lives, and can figure the difference between fairy-tale romance and real-life attraction. They are aware of their needs, desires, shortfalls and have a better understanding to what a companion may desire.
Older women bring a sense of understanding, maturity and patience that are vital for any relationship to thrive. Because of experience and age, they offer a lot to a relationship, and that is why many young men today are attracted to women who are older to them. And the signs are always there an younger man likes an older woman.
1. Older women are well established and driven
Young men like to be connected with well established and driven people to become better in their lives. Since they are shaping their future, they have an ambitious mind and hunger to succeed. Older women are mostly well established and driven and have made something out of their lives. Due to these qualities, younger men and older women are able to match their wavelengths and respect each other in their respective career pursuits.
They understand that both of them need to work hard, and respect the space that divides their professional and personal lives. Misunderstandings regarding financial matters also hardly occur because both in the relationship earn and have an equal say in all matters. This stability is one of the main reasons a younger man likes an older woman.
2. They are highly experienced
Since the older women are the ones who have entered the third, fourth or fifth decade of their life, they surely have a lot of experience when it comes to relationships, dating, sex life, etc. There is no denying the fact that dating older women has its own advantages. They are open to having sex, are aware of that a relationship may not translate into a life-long commitment, and yet do not stop themselves to enjoy the moment. Therefore, younger men obviously feel excited and take the relationship with older women as an adventure where they get to know more about women and relationships in general.
Dating life and relationship with older women is like a learning experience for younger men and they always find it fascinating. Whether it is physical intimacy, or emotional connection, older women come with experiences that younger men can use to their advantage. And this is a positive effect if a younger man likes an older woman.
3. Older women are honest and open-minded
Younger men love older women because they are pretty much honest and straightforward in relationships. They do not beat around the bush when they dislike something and thus relationships with older women are always smooth. In addition, older women are open-minded and give enough space to the younger men to explore their youthful nature by accompanying them in their madness and adventures.
