We gathered at Kavule this morning to welcome new members into the National Unity Platform. Among the new members are leaders who have been subscribing to other political parties previously, as well as some representatives to cultural institutions. I have used the occasion to once again condemn the 100M cash bribe the regime has given to MPs to amend the UPDF Act and drag civilians back into military courts for trial. These amendments are politically motivated and brought in bad faith with the intention of overturning the Supreme Court's decision of January 31 blocking the prosecution of civilians and dictator Museveni’s opponents in army courts. Each year, the regime lends each of Uganda's 10,717 Parishes a total 100 MILLION to fight poverty under the so-called 'Parish Development Model'. This money is given to each Parish regardless of its population, to be paid back with a 6% interest! It's disturbing that while thousands of citizens in beneficiary parishes struggle to share the 100 million, a single MP pocketed the same amount to betray them. We commend the over 70 MPs who have since signed a Resolution condemning this act of high treason against the people. We challenge them to take a step further and strongly speak out in public against this theft. We also call upon the public to isolate every MP who took a share of this loot, and extract from them the ultimate price at the next election. On our end as the NUP, if we get evidence that any of our MPs in NUP took this money, we shall take a firm stand against you, no matter who you are, the same way we have dealt with those who stole before you. We continue to demand for the release of the hundreds of our comrades like Bobi Young, Machete Yasin, and Kalanzi Sharif who remain under illegal detentention 3 months after the Supreme Court decision stopping their trials in army courts. We equally demand for the unconditional release of our brothers and sisters from Karamoja who find themselves in similar circumstances.
