• Salaamu Musumba lands on plot to kill her

The FDC Vice Chairperson Salaamu Musumba has landed on a plot to kill her during the by elections for the Kamuli District LC 5 seat.The seat fell vacant after Kawugu Mugaino's papers were found lacking forcing court to nullify the election.The information leaked to her by a friend has it that a search is on for drivers who can fake an accident during the campaigns slated to kick off any time.She says she is aware of a group that was trained by NRM to disrupt the February presidential and parliamentary opposition campaigns and vowed to deal with them this time round.

The latest news in the FDC from reliable sources is that Winnie Byanyima is not on talking terms with her husband Dr.Kizza Besigye the current FDC leader.It is rumored that Winnie quietly abandoned the FDC in a mega exchange to endorse her for the UN Job in New York.This deal was brokered by Sam Kuteesa in Addis Ababa last year.Many high profile jobs at the UN require endorsement by the home government.This deal has paralyzed relations between Winnie and Dr.Kizza Besigye. 

In New York Winnie has distanced herself from FDC activities and activists.She has actually paralyzed plans of FDC's Anne Mugisha to popularize FDC programmes aimed at undermining Museveni & his government.

Intelligence sources also confirm that there systems have not reported a phone conversation between Winnie and Besigye for sometime now.

Top FDC Ministers have been receiving big cheques to destabilize the FDC party from within.Some members have been given houses for the espionage work.The task of the spies is to leak any relevant information including minutes and copies of all correspondence's.The other task is to lead the party leader away from the right path.Its the same advice that has made Besigye concentrate in the city center and ignoring the upcountry where Museveni enjoys massive support.Besigye has not been idle either as he equally gets information about him in record time.

The Police is being urged to use Snakes for crowd control as opposed to teargas and water canons.Teargas becomes costly in the long run bearing in mind that Ugandans are constantly battling with Police and in the process getting used to it.In places especially the far east where snakes are commonly used they are dropped by helicopters to the crowds.The snakes are not poisonous but they are capable of sending off the rioters.The government anticipates more riots as the struggle for political power grows.

• Straka Suspended from WBS

The Red Pepper claims to have landed on information that Besigye and Museveni vow to crush each other before the end of 2008.Besigye has been moving from Rally to rally saying Museveni will not rule Uganda till 2011.Museveni  is also planning to deal with what he terms as "Besigye's Nonsense" after the CHOGM.They have both adopted a different strategy.Besigye has started brewing civil disobedience leading to full fledged may hem in the week of  CHOGM, Nov 23-25.FDC has also resorted to hiring young men skilled in rioting who are at the forefront of the recent FDC Riots.These boys do not fear tear gas or being arrested.Besigye's CHOGM plan is to hold severe riots,attract the wrath of the state so that visiting heads of state including the Queen Elizabeth ll see Museveni as another Robert Mugabe.

To counter Besigye's plan Museveni yesterday announced at kololo that nobody would destabilize him because he has a dual mandate, one of liberalization and the other from the voters and he is considering to unleash the no-nonsense Kakooza Mutale and the commander of Military Police Col.Dick Bugingo to crush Besigye and his supporters.

• Go and rear Goats,M7 tells Besigye

The President has described the members of the opposition as day dreamers and advised them to go and rear goats as they wait for 2011.No political group will be allowed to stage a demonstration at the Constitutional square as its the central business district of Kampala.

Top Security officials are investigating a mind-boggling puzzle of how FDC leader Col.Dr.Kizza Besigye gets the latest intelligence reports about him with lightening speed.Many reports about Besigye reach him almost at the very time they are being delivered to Gen.David Tinyefuza who is the overall coordinator of intelligence organizations.What shocked the intelligence gurus is how the report to arrest him leaked.Besigye was to be arrested on Monday the day the judges started their strike.This was after the pardoned PRA suspects had piled incriminating evidence against him.Besigye had got a thorough briefing from his network about the arrest; so he moved quickly to stage a demonstration and working up crowds to attract local and international attention.In that way it became difficult for the state to arrest him and the  plans were called off.Top intelligence chiefs have launched an investigation into how top secrets leak to Besigye.

• Museveni rules out bail for the PRA suspects

The President still insists that the PRA suspects will not be granted bail.He also blasted Justice Lugayizi for "misinterpreting" the law and contradicting the constitution."The courts were certainly wrong to grant these people bail.They should not have been released on bail because they can escape and go back to rebellion"

Security has landed on sensitive information that Forum for Democratic Change Leader, Col.Kizza Besigye plans to flee the country.Since Friday Security reactivated the 24 hour surveillance on the colonel which it had relaxed.Besigye has learnt that the State may be in advanced stages of re-arresting him and charging him.Gen.Mugisha Muntu and Reagan Okumu on Saturday night met senior Diplomats of the British High Commission so they can plead with Government not to re arrest Dr.Besigye.
