WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Kampala – The Police’s Professional Standards Unit has arrested six traffic officers for allegedly extorting money from motorists at night on the Kampala-Gulu highway.
The unit commandant, John Ndungutse, said a few undisciplined officers could not be left to continue tainting the image of the Force.
He added that there were many other officers who braved the dust on the roads but observed the rules of the Force.
Ndungutse made the remarks while addressing journalists at the Police headquarters in Kampala yesterday.
The suspects, who comprised four traffic officers and two guards, were arrested on Saturday night at Matugga trading center on Bombo road. They were found with sh542,000 and $20 (about sh40,000).
Ndungutse named the officers, all attached to Kawempe Police Station, as Jamil Kirunda, Innocent Obaa, Alfred Otim, Evans Talemwa, Patrick Dratoo and Patrick Ocen.
The officers, according to Ndungutse, will be suspended from duty and taken to the disciplinary Police court for trial. Punishments, if found guilty, would include dismissal from the Force and a fine.
The Police Act states that any officer who fails to account for money found on him during his course of duty is considered corrupt.
Ndungutse said the operation in which the officers were arrested followed numerous complaints from motorists that traffic officers had become notorious in extorting money from them.
He said the suspects had been issuing forged Express Penalty Tickets and demanding cash on the spot.
Ocen is said to have been assigned to guard an old car where the officers were keeping their collections.
The law does not allow Police officers to receive cash. According to the Professional Standards Unit chief, money is supposed to be paid in the bank.
“When we arrested them, they could not account for the money found on them,” Ndungutse said.
He dismissed allegations that there are high-ranking officers in the force who exert pressure on their juniors to give them commissions from their daily collections.
Ndungutse said the Professional Standards Unit has never received such complaints.
“We know there are a few individuals who are bent on soiling the name of the Force but we shall weed them out,” he said.
According to the unit’s performance status report of July 2007 to June 2010, the unit received 5,400 complaints against Police officers, out of which 3,244 have been investigated and completed.
Kampala Metropolitan and the south region had the highest number of cases, with Katwe Police Station registering 141.
