FORGET ABOUT NEBADA’S AUTOPSY AND MOVE ON!

Let’s face it, if the state wants you to die and you are in Uganda, it doesn’t matter if they will be found out or not, you will die and they will get away with it. I’m not saying that the Uganda government murdered Hon.Celina Nebada but it is possible, and I can’t see anybody getting to the bottom of this to implicate the state (if at all they did it). That is because we don’t have independent systems in the country to verify such stuff. As a result, Ugandans simply don’t trust their government, and that is why the so called pathologist was possibly sneaking the remains of Nebada’s body to South Africa naively via EBB airport.
The typical answer to any suspected murders by the government is to identify the guy to blame immediately before the investigations are concluded. This is usually done if there is a perceived public anger about such a murder. I don’t know whether this is a weakness or not but we need to change this in future. Nebada’s boyfriend may be innocent but he may easily go down for this murder if things carry on the way there are now.
Maybe some people don’t like the truth when we present it to them, and they would like to translate that as opposition to the government, but a lot of Ugandans now understandably hate the Museveni government in equal proportions, here abroad and in Uganda itself. And this is something that is actually measurable or quantifiable through holding free and fair elections but we dont have that in Uganda.
As Reverend Keffa Ssempagi said on Bukedde TV program: ‘OMUNTU WABANTU’, a lot of people stay in the government when they clearly know that it is a bad government, but they do so because they want bread and butter or as a way of protecting their lives. He revealed that a lot of Baganda joined UPC because they didn’t want the Langis to plan something for them when they didn’t know in advance. So, he was asked by late Muwonge( Kyabazala), to join the UPC government. But surprisingly, when Obote 2 was about to fall, vice president Muwanga , was reportedly hiding in his garage at Kololo and he didn’t know what was going on, only to be picked by Nyerere to take over as VP.
If Nebada died of undetectable poison, then that is something we shall never know because we don’t have the technology to identify such things in Uganda. There are a lot of poisons out there that can kill people in seconds or days. For instance, ricin usually kills in three days if inhaled, ingested or injected. Bulgarian agents used it against an opposition figure, Markov, in London in 1978. He died in three days but it was identified because he died in London not Bulgaria.
I read somewhere where some one was talking about Nebada’s size and heart attack. Yes, Nebada looked a bit overweight and I was surprised that she was only 24 years old. However, we should also not rule out poisoning because someone has died of heart attack. For instance, the CIA have come up with a deadly poison that is undetectable and makes people look like they died of heart attacks. It can be administered like a mosquito bite on your skin, and the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The venomous whiz completely disintegrates upon entering the object. The lethal poison then speedily enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the harm is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is not likely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes.
Like I said on Ngoma radio, all we can do now is to accept that Nebada is dead and then pray for her if possible.”
If the president threatened the MPs earlier on before Hon.Nebada died, then that is likely to affect him and his party more than the ‘OPM’ Saga. There is a big possibility that majority of Ugandans aren’t even aware of the current corruption scandals in the office of the PM, but I believe this is not the case with the death of Nebada. Radio stations have been reporting it as a top headline ever since it happened. It will be in people’s minds for a long time, I believe.
The way I know village life in Uganda, I would not be surprised that this murder is now the talk of the town in their town gatherings, village meetings and even in the morning before they go into their sambas. I’m sure you would hear stuff like: ‘ ekyana nakyo bakiise’, ‘mp yatadeyo mwana’, ‘nebina fiiiiiiiiiii……….bano tebasagga…..’
I don’t know how good Tamare Mirundi is in these situations but his boss needs him urgently now to spin on things more than before. Actually, Ofwono Opondo is better in spinning such situations but I guess most of the brilliant minds in the president’s party aren’t as happy as they should. But he is gonna need all these people to go out there on radio talk shows to do more spinning.
By the way, have we heard any statement from the new FDC president about the death of Nebada? I have also not read anything from Mafabi to this effect. Are the two still fighting?
As Mr.kefa ssempangi advised on:’omuntu wabantu’, may be its time we forget about politics for a while and we start thinking business. I’m really getting fed up with Uganda politics. The more things change the more they look worse. People no longer trust the police, the president or any state organ. Opposition looks weaker than before such that guys like otunu only appear in the media if they are being punched by an ‘Akena’. Corruption is as high as it can get, e.t.c.
Ssempangi has been into the poultry business since 1986, and I believe he has made a fortune out of it such that he is even better off than those that targeted donor funds. There are a lot of people I know who are rich this way but few Ugandans even know about them. They are silently making money as the rest talk about politics all the time.
Mukula was reportedly the first Ugandan to open up a Chinese restaurant and he apparently made 0.5 million dollars as net profit in the first 6 months. It is something that is even difficult to contemplate in a developed nation such as the UK, but Mukula did it in Uganda. He joined politics in 1996 when he already owns 6 airplanes and a lot of other businesses. He can afford to pay tuition / fees for his sons in the UK without begging for statehouse scholarships. He can drive any expensive car he wishes without tapping into donor funds. May be we could utilise him more on this forum if he agrees to discuss business ideas more than politics.
There are a lot of people in Uganda silently making their money that way- without involving themselves in politics. Maybe, we should do that for a while as things get uglier on the political front. Our government is not listening whatever ideas we discuss on this forum. They only look at us as potential enemies or ‘FDC’ supporters that are eligible for ‘nebadalisation’.
If you see people strongly suspecting their government of killing those who oppose them, then just know that things are worse. Do you hear any noise from Muhammad nsereko anymore? He is probably now trying to remember if he shared any coffees with Nevada on that fateful day. He is as quiet as a foetus.
