By Mulengera ReportersOn the Capital Gang of Saturday, Ofwono Opondo called on Ugandans to get used to the law getting subordinated to politics because, in his view, that’s what will keep happening until the political transition, which he said is already underway in Uganda, is completed. He implied that, because there will be need to crash & silence political anarchists who had been used to thriving on telling lies and blackmailing the President, the rearrests similar to what happened to Muwanga Kivumbi on Friday are going to become more rampant in the coming days, weeks, months and years. The moderator Oscar Semweya Musoke had asked his studio guests to react to the President’s televised address last weekend and tell the listeners whether Gen Museveni’s lack of appetite to call out and condemn his son Gen MK, the CDF, over what happened to Erias Lukwago and Miria Matembe had shocked/surprised them or not. The President not only defended his son in that address but also talked about many things including justifying denial of bail to his opponents. Opondo said he wasn’t surprised or disappointed and that he is expecting much worse in the coming period. He said that where things had reached, there was need for the Ugandan state to act tough through Gen MK (whose PLU he intends to join soon) to “demonstrate to the political opposition that the President is not vulnerable to their blackmail anymore.” Calling it “shock therapy” aimed at getting members of the political opposition back to their senses, Opondo praised members of the security forces for using the Friday road block in Mpigi to give (the rearrested) Muwanga Kivumbi his food. Opondo called what is happening in Uganda to ” the end of the law and the beginning of politics” proper. He stressed that the law can sometimes, out of necessity, be subordinated to politics and that time had come for the Ugandan security to “break the egg in order to be able to make the omelet.” Benjamin Katana of NUP, who is a panelist on the same radio program, commended Opondo for making it clear that the days of wearing gloves and pretending about the militarization of politics in Uganda by the NRM government had finally come to an end. Opondo’s gloves off remark means that Ugandans had better get used to the new normal and lead their lives as the pro-Museveni military goes about doing whatever they want. Minister Lydia Wanyoto was in the studio too and didn’t contradict what the Older Persons MP Opondo was saying, as did senior lawyer Edgar Tabaro.
