MUSEVENI'S FAMILY & CO. WILL BE FORCED TO RETURN ALL THESE MONEY AND ALL PROPERTY THEY HAVE STOLLEN FROM THE PEOPLE FROM 1986!!

Trust me, we know where all the routes these moneys are ferried trough - including their transit stop overs.  The long arm of the law is soon on their necks.

Best regards,



Nyar'Onyango

      Govt to pay 420 million for computer
      By Patrick Onyango

      The Monitor, March 11, 2004


            KAMPALA - A stitch in time saves nine - and a lot of money in business transactions, as the country might soon find out. 

            The Ugandan High Commission in Britain bought a computer eight years ago at 7,000 pounds sterling (about Shs 25.2 million at today's exchange rate).

            However, after failing to pay for the computer and being sued, the Commission has been ordered to pay 120,000 pounds (about Shs 432 million), Samia Bugwe North MP, Aggrey Awori told Parliament yesterday. 

            Mr Awori told The Monitor yesterday that this was an ordinary computer - for which even the original 7,000 pounds would seem to be on the high side.

            Awori raised the matter during a session of the parliamentary committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs.

            He revealed that the High Commission struck a deal with businessman Michael Gerson in 1996 to buy the computer and a black-and-white printer. 

            Gerson gave the Commission a photocopying machine as a good gesture, Awori said.
            However, government failed to pay the businessman, Awori said.

            Gerson then sued the High Commission for 400,000 pounds (Shs 1.4 billion) as the value of the computer, interest, and costs of the suit.

            The High Commission wrote to the ministry of Foreign Affairs informing it about the impending case but got no response, Awori said.

            He revealed that a Ugandan official at the Commission, Ms Elizabeth Kanyogonya, sought an arbitrator on February 13, 2004 to settle the case out-of-court.
            Gerson accepted the idea of an arbitrator and Mr Nicholas Stewart, QC, was appointed.

            During the mediation, Kanyogonya offered 95,000 pounds (Shs 342 million) payable within three months but this was rejected.

            The two parties then agreed on the 120,000 pounds payable before April 13, 2004.
            However, if government fails to pay before that date, the penalty will rise to 350,000 pounds (Shs 1.26 billion), Awori said yesterday. 

            Praising Kanyogonya yesterday, Mbarara Woman MP, Miria Matembe, said: "She has saved a lot of money for the government; she has done a good job."

            A junior minister in the ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nshimye Sebutulo, told The Monitor that government is committed to paying its debts.

            "I will have to cross check with my permanent secretary to find out how soon we are paying," Mr Sebutulo said by telephone.
