NRM government fakes "evidence" of Besigye-Opoka links

Last Sunday, March 12, the Sunday Vision paper in Kampala published a feature on how Opoka was killed.

The article was written "By Our Reporter", whom Radio Katwe easily identifies as either the Sunday Editor himself, David Mukholi, or Emmy Allio, a staff reporter.

As the Ugandan public now knows, both of these New Vision employees are ISO agents.

That Sunday Vision article was coordinated by intelligence and was commissioned as a way of preparing the public to believe that Besigye was involved in terrorism by his "links" with Opoka.

Radio Katwe can now publish the pre-emptive bombshell it promised its readers last week. This revelation has a major bearing on the Colonel Kizza Besigye terrorism and treason trial.

We got impeccable information before the recent presidential election that the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) had come up with a devious way of concocting "evidence" that the FDC President Colonel Kizza Besigye was in league with the late James Opoka.

Opoka who was at one time Besigyes aide was allegedly killed a few years ago by the LRA rebels. Opoka campaigned for Besigye in his 2001 presidential bid before reportedly joining Kony. The State claims that Opoka is the proof that Besigye was working with Kony.

The source said that an officer of the Joint anti-Terrorism Task Force (JATT), one Lt. Michael Kanyamunyu had been given orders to go to Makerere University, where Opoka was a student, and find a way of obtaining any academic transcript or document where his signature appears.

Kanyamunyu wrote a letter on JATT headed paper, with his name undersigned on it and dated "Feb 06." We shall give you the reference number on this letter should the state try to refute our claims. Radio Katwe has not yet established if Lt. Kanyanunyu actually took his letter to the Academic Registrar's office to get a copy of Opoka's academic papers.

What the letter clearly shows is that the state desperately wished to find some or any piece of "evidence" that could show the slightest connection between Besigye and the late James Opoka.

The academic document with Opoka's signature was to be scanned and pasted onto a fake piece of correspondence, which would then be produced in the High Court by the prosecution to "prove" that the two men were in contact.

This means that we are about to see another of the state's efforts at pinning false charges against the FDC President fall apart, and the state still does not know how all its moves and secrets are coming out into broad daylight for the curious public to see. All we can say is there are still a lot of good, honest upright people who love their country more than money. Citizens who are sick and tired of the dirty games, deceit and depravity that the Museveni NRM regime represents.

This is yet another example of how devious this government is and what measures they will take to pin false charges on anyone who opposes them.

Stay tuned to the trial which starts tomorrow, March 15, and see how this "evidence" is produced by the prosecution. See how the state starts to panic and fumble as its one vital piece of "evidence" is exposed as a hoax.
