Ugandan Military Uniforms Found

To the readers of this website,please vigorously investigate the presence of Ugandan troops on Kenyan soil as reported in article from The Standard (below). Where were these military uniforms going? What is the Kenyan military doing allowing Uganda’s army in the country? Has Kenyan military conceded the Western, Rift Valley and Nyanza province to
the Ugandan government? Are these provinces NOT being protected by Kenya’s army now? What is the President of Uganda doing in these so-called mediation meetings if his troops are stationed on Kenyan soil?

One thing that all Kenyans should agree on is keeping the integrity of our country without the presence of foreign troops.

Are the lives of people in these three provinces NOT worth protecting by Kenyan government and the army? Writers and readers of this website should seriously look into the issue of Uganda army into this country and bring everything to light. The Standard article provides a good beginning to start to the investigation. I know Uganda’s Foreign
Minister and President have gone on record stating that “they don’t have troops in Kenya”. It is time for Kenya’s government to tell the public where these uniforms and other contents in the lorry were going. Teso OCPD, Mr. Joseph Kiget, whom I guess is a Kenyan law enforcement officer admitted to witnessing these things. Kenya’s people should NOT rely on the denial of the President of Uganda and his Foreign Minister on this
issue. We Kenyans needs to hear from our government.

Ugandan army uniforms found

Tension remained high at Malaba border after residents impounded a lorry full of Ugandan military uniforms.

The residents stopped the lorry, registration number KAV 018T, headed to the customs department and demanded to view its contents.

The besieged driver pleaded with the residents to let him pass as rowdy youths threatened to lynch him.

The angry mob was in the process of setting the lorry ablaze when riot police arrived.

Amid shouts of, “Open it, open it!” the residents almost overpowered the police, prompting Teso OCPD, Mr Joseph Kiget, to order the driver to open up the cargo.

Councillor Chrisantus Kipala, of Malaba Central Ward, and a few other people boarded the lorry to verify the items as residents cheered and broke into songs.

Pairs of Ugandan military uniforms and caps with State emblems were fished out of the boxes.

“Now you can relax because you have seen what the lorry is carrying. You can now let the driver proceed with his journey,” the OCPD told the crowd.

The residents told /The Standard/ they will keep vigil at the boarder and are demanding an explanation from the Government about the Ugandan military uniforms.

Kenyan customs officials at the border declined to talk to journalists regarding the matter.

Ugandan security officials who had crossed the border to receive the consignment disappeared on realising the arrival of the KTN camera crew.

Tension has been high in western Kenya following rumours that Ugandan soldiers are in the country.

The soldiers were said to have headed to Nyanza, Western and Rift Valley provinces, where violence broke out after President Kibaki was declared the winner in last year’s discredited General Election.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has gone on record, saying he did not help President Kibaki in his controversial re-election.

The Ugandan Electoral Commission also denied having played a part in the tallying of presidential results.

Museveni also attributed the post-election violence to the Electoral Commission of Kenya.

Museveni is in the country as part of a mediation team.
