Re: ugnet_: MP receives death threats over 3rd term

[Owor Kipenji]

I am only wondering why Chebrot should in anyway fear dying on

December 30th.This is a very good day to die for he will have lived

most of the 2003!

Having said that Chebrot is the last person to be making this statement

because those days when he was galvanting with Mu7,he not only

threatened people with death but used his ministerial clout at the time

to have all his political opponents put behind bars including his major

opponent,one Captain in the Army.

My question for Steven Chebrot is:Did those he put behind bars and many their families suffer,not have the same blood like him?.This is

an experience that most of us Ugandans should take seriuosly while

holding positions of authority/power to exercise it with humility and

caution for the seeds we often sow come back to haunt us,when we have

long forgotten.We all remember the distrust Mu7 has for Medics in Uganda treating his family,for he still thinks and believes most medis

are like the likes of Dr.J.G.S.Makumbi,and Professor Stanley Tumwiine.

Interesting times lie ahead for these guys.

Let's keep our ears to the ground.

Thank you.

Kipenji.

MP receives death threats over 3rd term
By Patrick Onyango

PARLIAMENT - Tingey County MP Steven Chebrot says he has received death threats for opposing the third term. "I have received telephone calls threatening me and at the same time warning me that I will die by December 30 this year," Mr Chebrot told The Monitor on October 2 at Parliament. The MP is opposed to the amendment of the Constitution to remove the term limit on the presidency - a move that could, theoretically, allow President Yoweri Museveni or any other incumbent to rule for life. "They told me that I should be killed by December 30," he said. Chebrot said he has reported the matter to the police but is still living in fear. "I don't take this threat lightly; we have lost people in the district in a similar manner after telephone threats," he said. Chebrot said that his dog has already been killed as a warning to him. He said, however, that no one will stop him opposing the third term. "My destiny has been decided. I'm going to continue to do what I'm supposed to do," he said. Chebrot said that his personal assistant, Mr O. Walter, who was arrested on "framed up" charges of subversion, has been released after spending several days in safe houses in Kampala.
