Statement on the closure of @BoonaFm in Rukungiri district.
Imagination can make you a great storyteller, but reality is a different script. @UCC_Official's mandate is clearly stipulated in the law.
I have been informed that Rukungiri’s @BoonaFm is closed tonight midnight until further notice. I will not seek to litigate @UCC_Official decision. But I have listened to the shrill voices of Rukungiri people that rightly or wrongly allege that the two Generals running for political office in Rukungiri will be in the eagles 🦅 eye. Accordingly— One General will be accused and celebrated for closing the Radio and thus hope to gain advantage for potential political victory. Another General will in fashion vehemently, cynically seek to fight for reinstatement of @BoonaFm license in hope for political victory. It’s also very plausible and clearly likely, this chaos will propel the two Generals to victory. Did the Comrade Generals plot? Perhaps YES or NO! Do their supporters understand what’s going on? Perhaps YES or NO. Personally, I am a free debate person and unless there is evidence of genocidal broadcasting, radios should be given unfettered space to operate. Secondly, the NRA/ NRM is an ideological and debate present platform. NRA/NRM extinguishes lies optimally. As long as media gives platform to contestation of ideas — that is good media because it allows superior ideas to reign. And our people of Rukungiri and Uganda are not naive, they fathom logic. PRAYER: 1. Let @UCC_Official make its evidence for closure of Boona FM Open. Law should be respected. 2. Political leaders in Rukungiri should not use this issue for partisan advantage and further divide the people. 3. NRM recovered popular support through adaptive and hard work. The current NRM Chairman Gen. @jkmuhwezi was relentless and remains steadfast and delivered. Let this Boona FM issue not divide the district and advantage opposition forces. 4. Boona FM can’t be erased in the life of Rukungiri and wider Kigezi and perhaps DRC. We must find a way to work with Boona FM, find a middle ground and keep our people on a transformative path.
The NRM Elections Disputes Tribunal Upholds Lt. Gen. (Rtd) Tumukunde Henry's Nomination. The NRM Election Disputes Tribunal upheld @Tumukunde_ nomination as the NRM flag bearer for Rukungiri Municipality, dismissing Atukunda Isaac’s petition challenging the primary election results. The Tribunal ruled that Tumukunde’s prior independent presidential bid did not disqualify him from NRM membership under Article 8 of the party constitution, as there was no evidence of dismissal or resignation, and residency requirements do not apply to parliamentary candidates under Uganda’s Parliamentary Elections Act. Allegations of election malpractices, including bribery and intimidation, were rejected due to lack of specificity and failure to prove the claims on a balance of probabilities. The Tribunal emphasized that any irregularities were insufficient to affect the substantial vote margin (56,301 to 1,646) and reinforced the binding nature of its decisions under NRM regulations, providing clarity on membership rules and evidentiary standards for future disputes.

Im deeply saddened by the passing of Hon. Karoro Okurut, my predecessor as Security Minister, a valued colleague in Cabinet & gifted author. Her dedication to Uganda will always be remembered. My prayers are with the family during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace.
