Son of Kabaka’s Representative Says He Used USA Intelligence To Spy On Baganda

Last Saturday Omulangira Michael Kimbugwe-Kalema posted a strong email on the web where he presents what he claims to be proof that two Washington DC Baganda, Mr. Kabonge and Mr. Kambugu wrote the two emails which viciously attacked the Nnabagereka about one month ago (see “We Know Those Abusing Nnabagereka, Ekiba Kibe Program”). Mr. Kimbugwe is a UNAA official and the son of Mr. Fred Kalema Musoke who is the official UNAA advisor on Buganda issues and the is credited with booking the Nnabagereka for the key note speech. In what appears to be another contravesy involving Kabaka’s representatives, Mr. Kimbugwe gives details about how they used “the help of an expert in cyber counter terrorism working in one of the law enforcement branches in the United States Department of Defense” to get the evidence that Mr. Kabonge and Mr. Kambugu are guilty. Our sources in Boston have told us that some Baganda, especially the ones with immigration problems are scared by the news that a Kabaka’s representative could be somehow involved in spying on fellow Baganda. Mr. Kimbugwe’s very long email is reproduced below, although the we have removed the sections that use the worst language against the Nnabagereka, from the indicated areas.

I am writing in response to what was written about HRH Nnabagereka Sylvia Nagginda, Maama wa Buganda. As most of you on this list are aware what was written about her was shameful, derogatory, inflammatory and was not with the best choice of words to say the least. As a muganda and omulangira by clan, who has grown up in the USA and who is very proud of and very much in tune with my culture, I felt compelled to (1) find out who actually wrote these shameful and vicious emails about HRH Nnabagereka and (2) what was their motives in sending out these messages with such vicious and personal attacks to Nnabagereka and the institutions we adore. With the help of a good friend from college, an expert in cyber counter terrorism working in one of the law enforcement branches in the United States Department of Defense, the following facts were revealed to me. The original email that was sent on Friday 18th, 2010 at 5.47pm EST which had inflammatory and derogatory remarks about HRH (a copy in RED is included below for ease of reference) Was not from Proscovia Musoke. As a matter of fact, this email was written by James Kabonge from the Washington DC Community. With IT intelligence as well as human intelligence, the computer used to write the above information was ID as IP address (64.25.92.98) internet provider Comcast.  This IP address is registered to James Kabonge currently at 304 Prettyman Drive, Unit 1***5, Rockville, MD 20850. For security reasons and to protect his privacy, I have excluded some of numbers. Through the grapevine, James Kabonge was informed that I was investigating him for writing the above referenced email. James and I had a very good discussion on June 26th 2010 at 9.10 that lasted over 30 min. I explained to Mr. Kabonge, that my intent was to find out who wrote the email about Nnabagereka and not him in particular.  At this point, Mr. Kabonge continued to explain to me of how he had a 4hour meeting with HRH in hopes to convince her to withdraw herself from attending the UNAA convention in DC. Why does Wilson Moses (unAA president),  a person who likes lots of limelight– and stole the election in Chicago—keeps on communicating with Nabageraka?   Kalema-Musoke, who tells people that he is Omulangira, {BP Editors: Removed language that is abusive to Nnabagereka} “ we had a good discussion, we agreed to disagree. What Nnabagereka doesn’t understand is that UNAA is NRM, and they are setting her up to embarrass her for what happened to Janet Museveni at last year’s convention.” Mr. Kabonge stated. This comment was striking to me because I knew from day one that Mr. Kabonge was opposed to the UNAA convention taking place in DC apparently based on his ‘informants’ who reported that UNAA elections had been rigged ‘NRM-style’ because of the ‘army’ of NRM-O operatives/cadres flown in to vote for the NRM candidate; who by the way, lost and conceded. Anyway, I will go on record and say that, having been in Chicago not only as part of the Chicago organizing team, but also as a delegate and a candidate for UNAA Board member at-large, the elections were never stolen from anyone. Kalema-Musoke is an NRM agent who is deceiving the naive Nnaabagereka and putting her in a UNAA trap.  Emmanuel Kintu is a traitor, who allowed Gaburungyi to become UNAA EC chair, essentially legitimizing the stealing of elections in ChicAGO. Ssennkayi is another very weak, no good yes- man with no backbone to speak of.   So who will advise Nnabagereka?  Lwebuga, Lule, Nabukera, Wasswa what is going on? The bitterness expressed by Mr. Kabonge (aka Pross Musoke) has nothing to do with UNAA or NRM. It’s rather that some people he supported could not come to terms that they lost the elections. These were the same folks that were in-charge of the elections, they single-handedly chose who should serve on the electoral commission, and if one was of a differing view from theirs, they were quickly removed from the commission. An example was Dr. Emmanuel Kintu. His resignation from the EC chairmanship was to escape the pressure that these particular individuals were putting on him to tip the elections in their favor. Fortunately, Dr. Kintu is a man of integrity who refused to give in and decided to resign. Now, I ask: if you set up your own electoral commission, and you still lose the elections, then who do you have to blame? Not only did this individual lose the elections, but the margin of defeat was not close. With convention delegates of about 870 who were eligible to vote, the difference between 1st place and 2nd place was well over 120 votes in a field of three candidates. Well even if there was an error in counting, it still would not change much in terms of results. Unlike the previous elections of 2007 when this particular individual won by only 10 votes! Mr. Kabonge ( aka Pross Musoke) I would like to challenge you and tell us the difference between the UNAA convention you were part of as the Vice-Chairman in Orlando and the UNAA convention that will be held in DC this September? When you talk of UNAA and NRM, what has changed within the past two years that makes you believe that now UNAA is NRM but it wasn’t in 2008 when you were the convention Vice-Chairman? Are you the famous agent paid by NRM to disorganize Baganda in the Diaspora, I ask? Do you write all this to justify your paycheck from NRM? There has to be some type of compensation for writing such things. Think hard before responding! Through various discussions with those involved, it’s my understanding that HRH was in DC the week of June 12 for an international women’s conference. I know she met with some UCRF officials and promoters as did some Nnabagereka Development Foundation business. I also know that while in town, she spoke with Mr. Kalema-Musoke, Kabaka’s Representative in the Washington DC area. During the same week, she also had a 20 minute telephone call with Moses Wilson, President of UNAA, to discuss her role as the keynote speaker at the convention and to also find out how preparations were going.  Moses Wilson never flew to DC to meet with her nor did she ever meet with Mr. Wilson face to face anywhere else within the 50 states. To say otherwise, is to fabricate naked lies! {BP Editors: Removed language abusive Nnabagereka} Looking at the paragraph above, Mr. Kabonge, (aka Pross Musoke); please enlighten us on what is so wrong about Nnabagereka or any Mengo official who is visiting the USA (for private or official business) to meet any Kabaka’s Representatives! And I would also ask what is it that you have against Mr. Kalema-Musoke since he is the Kabaka’s Representative for this region? As far as I can tell, HRH did nothing wrong; she was visiting this region and  she spoke with Mr. Kalema-Musoke. Please tell us what she should have done differently in your view. Speaking to Mr. Kabonge on June 26th he narrated how, on June 18th, after the email came out, he had called HRH to inform her of what is being written about her and ask her if she had seen it. He was inclined to forward her the email, to prove to her that what he had told her in their 4hr conversation  was coming to light and Buganda did not deserve to suffer anymore than it already has. And if she at any particular time ever cared for Buganda, she should not attend the UNAA convention. After several conversations with Mr. Kabonge (aka Pross Musoke) and other community members, I am convinced that Mr. Kabonge wrote the email after he had his four hour conversation with HRH. It’s my humble opinion, that once his plan to convince HRH not to come to UNAA failed, Mr. Kabonge resorted to what is known as the Karl Rove tactics of (fear and smear) campaign. The tactics were in hopes that HRH would get scared or if other officials in the Mengo government saw it, they would restrain her from attending the convention. I would, honestly, want to ask Mr. Kabonge: What do you have against UNAA? Do you know why HRH is attending UNAA? I believe you know because you have had various conversations with the UCRF members about why HRH should never be involved in UNAA. I ask you, do you know of or have anyone in your family/friends who has ever been affected by breast cancer? Now if you know that HRH is promoting awareness and doing advocacy work while mobilizing resources for this terrible and killer disease in Uganda why are you so opposed to her coming to UNAA on behalf of UCRF? Otherwise it’s beyond my comprehension that you wake up every day and claim to be a proud muganda nga muzukkulu wa Gabunga, but you write such despicable propaganda on HRH. I would also ask you where is your loyalty to Ssabasajja? How could you publically show such disrespect to the Nnabagereka (Ssabasajja Kabaka’s wife) and still claim that you are Ssabasajja’s loyal subject and working for him and Buganda’s interests? The next email that I asked my friend to investigate was written on June 30th at 2.16pm with the subject: Nnabagereka’s bios. This one was written by Fredrick Kambugu (James Kabonge’s brother) using a computer with IP address 64.26.98.90 which happens to be registered off Falcon Crest, Germantown, MD. zip code 20874. I will not give the street address to protect his family’s privacy and security. The email originated from the ‘Operation Source of the Nile’, which is an email address that was registered in 2008 under Fredrick Kambugu Jr. ( 10yr old son of Fred Kambugu) (please see copy in BLUE below) Once I received confirmation that the email originated off Falcon Crest in Germantown, my search was narrowed because to the best of my knowledge (I live in Germantown, MD), there is only one Ugandan family who lives on this street, Fredrick Kambugu (I don’t believe a non-Ugandan can write this garbage about Nnabagereka)! Anyway, I drove by the house took pictures and forwarded them to my law enforcement friend who confirmed that it was the address and was even able to invite me to his residence and show me a link to a google thermal imaging which detects when, where and what an individual is doing inside a building. I can even tell you which computer/ (room) in the house was used to write/send this email and how many people were in the room and if it was a male or female on the computer, As well as height, and rough estimate of weight of the person on the computer. Once I had all this intelligence information, I called Mr. Kambugu to get his side of the story as the evidence was leaning towards him. I informed Mr. Kambugu, that preliminary evidence was pointing towards him, but I would give him the benefit of doubt to tell me what he knows before the final report comes back. At first he denied having any knowledge of the email, and that he was not even aware of what I am talking about. However, he went on to say that if such report turned up, he will have to take legal action to clear his name from people spreading rumors about him and his family.  I, politely, explained to him that no one is going after him or his family, but many of us just want to know who wrote the “Source-of-the-Nile” email and since the report is indicating that it came from his house, unless he has an intruder who is using his home computer to write these things, it would be difficult to explain otherwise. We all know that when ones hand is caught in the cookie jar, it’s impossible to convince anyone that you were trying to make sure there are cookies in there! After about a 40 minutes conversation, Mr. Kambugu charged me to finish my investigation as he realized that I was not going to back off. The very next morning, he called me and said that it was OK for me to go public with my report, as he had realized that this entire thing was political since he was being tied to Mr. Remigius Kintu. [BTW, the ‘Source of the Nile’ e-mail generated a few responses all of which my law enforcement friend was able to trace but my focus was on the original e-mail]. I don’t know how Mr. Kintu is connected with Kambugu, but Kambugu tried to explain what’s happening. I am still at a loss how an e-mail from Fredrick Kambugu (aka Source of the Nile) originating from Falcon Crest in Germantown talking about Nnabagereka’s bios ties Mr. Kambugu and Mr. Kintu or what politics is involved!. Mr. Kambugu, please feel free to explain that connection. Mr. Kambugu claims that someone went into his email and used his information to write this email.  Talking to IT experts, this is impossible, unless someone gives you access to his/her computer and e-mail account, there is no way one could use your computer to write an e-mail from your account. Hackers can gain access to your address book, but even then, they just use your address book to channel people to their site, but not to write email messages using your e-mail account/address. I was told by my friend that unless Mr. Kambugu did authorize someone to log into his source.of.the.nile@gmail.com or it is shared by other members/associates, that argument is not plausible and does not hold water. What I don’t understand is how this is politically motivated or connected and what I would request Mr. Kambugu to help us understand is: (1) How is the operation source of the nile writing about Nnabagereka’s bio political? (2) What facts are there to link Nnabagereka’s bio to politics, (3) What agenda do you and  your accomplices have in using Buganda as your shield against your ‘political’ enemies? (4) What are your objectives and how do you expect to achieve them? It’s unfortunate that anyone who claims to promote Buganda’s interests would resort to such desperate tactics and cowardly behavior that undermines Buganda’s interests and her institutions; probably with the hopes that they would never be, identified but once the smoke clears they claim its political. Look at it from a personal stand point, if I were your friend, and I insult your wife in a such vicious manner, can you really say I am your friend? Truth be told, this was not only insulting the Nnabagereka, it  was also insulting the Kabaka and Buganda’s institutions as a whole! My hope is that now that the truth is out, Mr. Kabonge and Mr. Kambugu, will come out and claim responsibility for their actions and hopefully find it within their conscious to do the right thing. Personally, I have been accused of being an NRM agent and being paid to investigate those involved or implicated in these nasty and shameful e-mails and/or postings. I assure you and all those who care for the truth that I have never received a dime from NRM or anyone to investigate anybody. And it’s unlikely that I would ever accept money from a political organization, let alone from NRM-O. However, let me try to reiterate what we all know: which is, while one may choose to belong to a political party, he or she does not choose to be a Muganda. We don’t choose our tribes neither do we choose what clan to be born into! It’s a birth right!.. If you are a Muganda, then it’s a fact that you were born into one of the 54 clans and more importantly, you were a muganda first before you became a member of NRM-O, DP, CP, UPC, FDC, or any political affiliation. Let’s answer Kabaka’s appeal and unify our energies with passion and all our resources to be constructive in building Buganda and its institutions so that she is economically able to stand on her feet rather that undermine those who may be trying to do good.  Doing otherwise only helps our enemies and detractors to hinder our progress. Finally, as a muganda back home and in the diaspora, ask yourself: What have I done today to advance Buganda’s interests or help the Kabaka with his repeated calls for unity and development of his Kingdom? For example, how many of us purchase Buganda certificates annually/(paid our taxes) to the Kingdom, etc? I would urge all Baganda and friends of Buganda on this email and elsewhere to set politics aside and focus on Buganda’s development issues and how best to get our Kingdom economically liberated and empowered. {BP Edotors: Removed the two letters that abuse the Nnabagerreka and which Mr. Kibugwe claims were written by the two  gentlemen he spied on.} Ssabasajja Kabaka Awangaale ne Nnabagereka Agerekere Obuganda!
