UN GATE, Nov 20 –
Corruption in Uganda is not
limited to Sam Kutesa as UN
President of the General
Assembly lining up bribes from
CEFC China Energy, which is
also linked to UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres who
bans the Press for it, now 871
days. Even banned, Inner City
Press has daily asked Guterres
and spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric and Melissa Fleming
about the crackdown on Bobi
Wine. Nothing, no answers. Now
this empty statement:
"The
Secretary-General is following
recent developments in Uganda
and is concerned over reports
of violence and fatalities,
following protests in Kampala.
He conveys his condolences to
the families of the victims
and wishes those injured a
speedy
recovery.
The Secretary-General condemns
all acts of violence and calls
on the Ugandan authorities to
ensure that all perpetrators
of human rights violations are
held accountable. He also
calls for the immediate
release of any individual who
may have been arbitrarily
arrested.
The Secretary-General calls on
the security forces to act in
accordance with the rule of
law and human rights
principles and refrain from
using violence. He also urges
all political leaders and
their supporters to
participate in the electoral
process peacefully, in
accordance with the relevant
regulations, and to refrain
from any incitement of
violence or hate
speech.
Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman
for the
Secretary-General
New York, 20 November 2020."
Empty.
In a continuing
attempt to (re) gain the
support of Uganda's Museveni
and Sam Kutesa, even after the
guilty verdicts against
Patrick Ho of China Energy
Fund Committee for
bribing at least Kutesa,
and tellingly attempting to
buy the oil company of
Gulbenkian Foundation whose
payments to Guterres he omitted
from his public financial
disclosure covering 2016,
Guterres' UN has been
silent.
When this UNCA
held its past annual meeting
it could barely reach quorum
(Periscope here);
it covered over the glass
doors of the clubhouse the UN
gives it with a sign board.
Disgruntled members forwarded the
"agenda" -- "1) Introduction of the new
2018 UNCA Executive Committee. 2)
Presentation of UNCA sub-committees and
their upcoming agendas. 3) Presentation
of 2017 UNCA & UNCA Awards
financials. 4) UNCA 70th anniversary. 5)
Other matters." We'll have more on this.
