Ref: Loan to The Ugandan Government

We Ugandans are writing to IMF and World bank about the continuous funding to the Ugandan

government. The Ugandans are requesting the IMF and the world bank to stop giving loans to

President Museveni at the expense of Ugandans. The Ugandans have reliable information that

Museveni has used public funding from the IMF and world bank brutalize Ugandans and swindle

the funds into offshore accounts. The IMF and world bank should understand that funds provide

to Museveni and for his personal uses and Ugandans should not be liable for the payment. The

current continued process of providing loans to Museveni is a predatory lending to Ugandans.

The IMF and the world bank should understand that Museveni is not willing to repay back the

loans and he has asked the IMF and the world bank to forgive the loans Ref [14]. Some of the

few cases highlighted below, exhibit the corruption of Museveni and his regime in the previous

34 yrs in power. We request the IMF and world bank not to ignore Ugandans and especially the

opposition members led by Kyadondo Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu AKA

Bobi wine.

(1) President Museveni and his family members that include Sam Kutesa his in-law have

orchestrated a corrupt system and are swindling loans into offshore accounts Ref [12].

(2) Abuse of Refugee Process by the Museveni who has created fake refugee from Ethiopians,

Burundians, Eritreans, Congolese, Sudanese, and Rwandese. Museveni is using the

refugee situation to extort money from donors. Museveni uses the fake refugees to fraud

the presidential election process in Uganda to vote for him. In exchange, Museveni gives

Ugandan passports to economic refugees and a process to come to the USA, Canada,

Australia, and other western nations. One the contrary the Ugandans have been forced

to seek refuge in other countries such as USA, Britain, Canada, and many girls working as

maids in the middle East.

(3) President Museveni has engaged in political persecution, torture, and cold-blood murder

of Ugandans Ref [13] mainly the opposition members lead by the Kyadondo Member of

Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu AKA Bobi wine. Museveni has been involved in

serval genocides in Uganda. In 1986, Museveni lead a war and was directly involved in

killing at least 1.5 million Ugandans in Luwero triangle Ref [15]. Museveni was involved in

massacre of the Acholi in northern Uganda. In 2016, Museveni ordered Brigadier Peter

Elweru to massacre the Bakonjo Tribe in Kasese.

(4) In the past, 34 years the donors and western nations have put pressure on Museveni to

promote democracy in Uganda. To appear democratic to the donors, President Museveni

created fake opposition groups through which he was able crack down on true

democracy.

(5) Museveni is planning a Genocide during the upcoming 2021 presidential elections in

Uganda. There are several cases where Museveni has been directly involved in war crimes

in the great lake regions of East Africa.

a. President Museveni sponsored the war that lead to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

The current president of Rwanda Paul Kagame was a military commander in the

Ugandan force who took power in Rwanda through a military coup sponsored by

Museveni.

b. President Museveni has involved in sponsoring war extremists in Congo and

looting minerals.

c. President Museveni was involved in war crimes in South Sudan

d. President Museveni was involved in war crimes in Burundi

e. President Museveni sent Ugandan soldiers who engaged in war crimes in 2017

Kenyan elections.

On May 6th, 2020, the IMF approved a Loan of USD $491.5 million Ref [1] to Uganda government

to address the Covid-19 crisis. The Ugandans request the IMF to reconsider Covid-19 Loan and

future Loans pending investigations about appropriation of the funding. The funding is intended

to support Ugandans within this Covid-19 crisis. However, our evidence in the Refs attached,

prove that the Loan has been misappropriated table 1 & Ref [9] and swindled by government

officials.

During this Covid-19 crisis, Ugandans followed the World Health Organization (WHO) directive to

quarantine. The government pledged to provide relief food Ref [5] to at least 1.5 million

Ugandans in desperate need. President Museveni passed a directive prohibiting Ugandans from

distributing food to those in need Ref [11]. The president equated food distribution to murder

punishable by DEATH. Only government officials were given mandate to distribute food.

However, the Ugandan government has barely provided relief food to the 1.5 million Ugandans.

The little food distributed (beans and posho Ref [2] so far is unhealthy and harmful for human

consumption. According to the speaker of Uganda parliament Rebecca Kadaga, the milk Ref [9]

that was provided to the Ugandans is expired and not fit for human consumption. Most of the

Ugandan are already in danger of hunger Ref [3] during these Covid-19 times. We have evidence

that the distributed food per home (approximately 5kg/11lbs) is done by military personnel who

are committing atrocities Ref [4] to vulnerable people. The military personnel are rapping women

and, in some cases, giving food in exchange for sex.

Due to government failure to provide food to families facing hunger, some Ugandans Ref [7]

within the country and overseas are donating food. However, the government of Uganda has

politicized the Covid-19 crisis by arresting and torturing opposition members from the people

power movements. In Ref [6] Member of Parliament for Kampala municipality Muhammad

Nsereko can be seen distributing food with no arrest. On the other hand, MP for Mityana

municipality Zaake Francis Ref [7] was arrested on April 19th, 2020 and brutally tortured by

3

president’s Military force (SFC). One of SFC individuals who tortured MP Francis Zaake is Amos

Kagoro Ref [10]. MP Francis Zaake was arrested for distributing food to his starving constituent

Ref [9] There has been several arrests and illegal detention of people power members Ref [8] . It

should be noted that April 19th, 2020 is the second time for MP Zaake was arrested and tortured.

The first time MP Zaake was arrested and tortured was Aug 2018.

The government of Uganda has misappropriated the funds according to speaker of Ugandan

parliament Rebecca Kadaga table 1 and Ref [9] . The misappropriate spending in table-1 below

was whistle blown by MP for Kyadondo East constituency and people power leader Robert

Kyagulanyi Ssentamu AKA Bobi wine. Robert Kyagulanyi mentioned the parliament to which he

belonged was bribed with 10 billion Uganda shillings to be split amongst the 426 members of

parliament. The 10 billion Uganda shilling was a bribe to the Parliamentary members to favor

the president Museveni’s supplementary spending budget shown in table-1 below. Robert

Kyagulanyi returned the bribe money saying that hungry Ugandans need it the most and called

on fellow MPs to return the bribe which speaker Rebecca Kadaga objected Ref [9] After a global

outcry of Ugandans calling on MPs to return the bribe, President Museveni who had provided

the bribe, called on MPs to return the money. Parliamentary Speaker Rebecca Kadaga was not

happy that the president had portrayed her and other MPS as corrupt, so she went on revenge

rampage on TV Ref [9] against President Museveni. On TV, Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said that 10

billion was small in compared to billions (shown in table 1) stollen by government bureaucrats.

She went on to say that the milk and food provided was expired and unfit for human consumption

despite the billions granted for food relief table 1. Speaker Rebecca went to say that nobody

including the Members of Parliament and the President cared about welfare of Uganda.

The covid-19 crisis has caused the Ugandan government to expose the enormous level of

corruption orchestrated by the President Museveni and his regime including the government

organs. These Covid-19 times are desperate times the Ugandan need the relief food and

essentials. Instead the government bureaucrats have embezzled the money to be used for

personal projects such as those shown in Ref [9] .

We request the IMF to urgently halt the covid-19 funding and future funding to Ugandan

government pending investigations. The investigations include violations listed in table 1 below.

We request the IMF to audit the Ugandan government and demand accountability of Covid-19

funds. Ugandans overseas and local will follow legal process that include demonstrations, legal

lawsuits that clearly show that the IMF has been secretly corporation with a corrupt regime to

approve loans for president Museveni and his few government regime at the expense of

Ugandans.
