(8) Two days later I saw Mr. Sonya at large in our area.
(9) The contents of this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.”
I think the use of “and belief” is as unnecessary as it is harmless in the above affidavit.
AFFIDAVIT OF MULINDWA
“I, MULINDWA ABASI of Kobolwa Zone L.C. I, Kibuku Parish, Kibuku Sub-County, Pallisa District affirm as under:
(1) On the 12th March, 2001, I was one of the persons supposed to vote in the Presidential elections held on that day.
(2) 1 cast my vote at Kobolwa Polling Station at 7.00 a.m.
(3) I was also a Monitor for candidate Colonel Dr. Kiiza Besigye in Kibuku Parish.
After casting my vote, I started my monitoring work within Kibuku Parish. I observed the following during my monitoring.
a) When I was at Kibuku Trading Centre, I detected that Mrs. Mujwi the Sub-County Chief Kibuku was issuing out some voters’ cards to the crowd, which was around her at the Trading Centre. I was with Gideon Kalaja who was the Sub-County Monitor for Colonel Dr. Kiiza Besigye. We went and challenged Mrs. Mujwi but the Local Defence Unit personnel who were heavily armed roughened us up. They told us that they together with Museveni they are in power and we cannot do anything. They told us to keep quiet.
b) There were motor vehicles, which were bringing voters from villages, and they were told all to vote for Candidate Yoweri Museveni. Some soldiers were travelling in a mini bus all around the Trading Centre to who the Sub-County Chief Mrs. Mujwi, one Hail Nangeje Abubakali, Sub-County Councilor Maliki Kitente and Nyaigolo Peter L.C.II Chairman were telling the people that if they don’t vote for Museveni the soldiers would kill them. They were 3 polling stations within the Trading Centre namely Kobolwa Polling Station, Kibuku Secondary School Polling Station and Ginnery Polling Station. Mrs. Mujwi and her group were going round these Polling Stations giving voters cards giving those who had already voted. I complained to the Presiding Officers in the 3 Polling Stations but in vein. Instead I was being laughed at.
4) At all the Polling stations I went to, there were voters who could not vote because on reporting they were told their names had been ticked and they were told they were not supposed to vote. When they complained they were chased away.
5) Because of the complaints I raised during elections, my life is under threat as a result I have been lying very low and confining to my residence all the time. I am being told by Museveni’s supporters that I am a rebel. I am under great fear for my life.
6) The contents herein above are true and correct to the best of my own knowledge and belief.”
There is the affidavit of BERNARD MASIKO, of Ntungamwo Parish, Nyabitunda village, Kayonza Sub-county, Kanungu District.
“1. That I was also appointed a campaign agent for Col Dr. Kiiza Besigye and on polling day as a monitor in Kayonza Sub-county.
