LET’S INK BUT NOT MINK
WHEN A WISE MAN TALKS, FOOLS CALL HIM INSANE PERSON
Let me start by defining
QUARANTINE it refers to a period of time when a person or an animal that has or may have a disease is kept away from others in order to prevent the disease from spreading. Banange it’s not a prison though the president of Uganda once talked of non convenience situation.
DOCTOR is a person who has been trained in medical science, whose job is to treat people who are ill/sick or injured.
CARDINAL ROLE OF POLICE AT QUARANTINE CENTERS is to shield humanity at all cost regardless of political belief, tribe, economic status, religion affiliation or nationality actually he or she should be a crime preventer at the center BUT not acting like a judge or magistrate.
However at DABANI GIRLS SCHOOL BUSIA UGANDA BORDER POINT QUARANTINE, some of the above responsible personnel’s are doing contrary of what they are supposed to do according to Uganda’s supreme law. Due to limited time, I will be brief.
Dear NRM Carders,
It holds no water by saying that we are doing our best yet some of our fellows are doing contrary; we have got to succeed in doing what is necessary all together. This issue of pre-judging RASTAFARIANS/NO GUN/WISE REVOLUTION ARMY is wrong in fact we should copy our counterpart South Africa and other country worldwide who considers the intellect of an individual other than believing in segregation policies while recruiting individuals in our institutions (Grant us true freedom by so doing you will be promoting self discovery).
TRUE STORY
When I went to extend my visa while in Kenya at Mbita Immigrations Homa bay county, the officials gave me a letter requiring me to report myself at United Nations in Kisumu City within 14 Days as a law a binding Ugandan Citizen; I did the needful within the specified days. I reported their on 10/07/2020 upon reaching there, they told me to return back to Uganda after long discussion with them I bought their idea. They accommodated me at Kisumu Central police Station for safety reasons for one night then the following day, a driver and Kenyan Police officer deployed at UN offices drove me up to Busia Border point.
Upon reaching there, they handed me to Immigration Police of Uganda as it is required by the ministry of health; I was taken to DABANI GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL BUSIA UGANDA QUARANTINE CENTER.
At DABANI my human rights were grossly violated by the people who were supposed to defend me.
HOW,
On 10/07/2020, two roommates picked a quarrel while at the above said quarantine center and as an activist and former prisons commander, I rushed to handle the situation by coincidence one junior police officer also entered the room and started beating us telling other members that am insane then that night I did not sleep after realizing that my life was at risk I run because I couldn’t fly, I walked around, I crawl and I kept moving by all means at night in order to save my life.
On 11/07/2020, security guard of the school plus one officer assaulted me again when they got me in a hiding place within the school premises and took my phone with Safaricom card for UBY label +254740405451, the medical personnel of the quarantine pretended to treat me the wounds then I realized later that it was not injections meant for wounds when they caused much pain the whole nights, I slept for long hours and this made me fail jogging in first 3 mornings. They have deep conspiracies that they are willing to protect at whatever costs as a way of covering up. I had deliberately refused to give them the next of kin’s contact; I don’t know how they got the number of my mother which is currently used by my younger brother. According to him, the nurse kept telling him that when I finish mandatory quarantine days she will immediately inform him so that he comes for me.
For those 14 days, I could be locked at around 800pm up to morning hours in a small room without a toilet which could force me to do both short and long call in a basin (imagine) even prison or police cells are better than that particular quarantine place.
At night I could request the officers to open for me so that I go for along call, he could respond by pointing a gun at me through the window.
Whenever I could complain in the morning, the nurse of the school could respond by calling senior medics to come and inject me not until when other members within the quarantine started supporting me led by one called Justus who happens to come from my home District.
They are still having my passport (was retained by immigrations of Busia Uganda), my personal phone, took my shoes (returned home in slippers given to me by a friend), beret and a microchip which I was given to put at the band of UBY hat as a way of identifying me(all in hands of security officers who assaulted me).
Lastly, my family members were told to transport me which left me wondering whether the government of Uganda has gone broke to the extent of failing to transport people who were suspected to have COVID-19.
Fellow countrymen, true freedom is free of fear of doing anything which can save first your life and other lives of many innocent voiceless men and women in our Societies.
That’s why we decided to start UBY platform (Political fraternity/activists/columnists) group label.
