KOLOLO, UGANDA – As the Seventh Term of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and NRM government commenced Tuesday May,12th 2026,on the hallowed grounds of Kololo, a senior government official, traditional leader (Awitong), lawyer, diplomat, and author of The Integrity Mandate has issued a searing rebuke against corruption, re-framing it not as a mere administrative failing but as treason against the nation’s future.
Dickson Ogwang Okul, speaking after witnessing President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declare this as the “Kisanja No Sleep,” said the phrase must transcend physical exhaustion and become a “restlessness of the soul” – one that hunts down corrupt actors hiding in offices, cultural institutions, and the halls of power.
Invoking the haunting memory of the late Rt. Hon. Jacob L’Okori Oulanyah, whose famous indictment “We are all corrupt” once shook the national conscience, Okul declared that the time of pretense is over.
“That voice did not fall on deaf ears; it planted a seed of reckoning that has finally sprouted into this moment of national urgency,” Okul said. “As an Awitong and a leader who was there when he declared those strong statements, I carry his spirit in my heart. Truth is never buried; it only waits for the courageous to speak it again.”
Okul, who serves as both a government official and a traditional leader, warned that the “sacred mist” of Oulanyah’s summons has now become a storm of accountability. He took direct aim at officials who “bleed the life out of our hospitals and steal the roads from our farmers” while hiding behind expensive suits and bureaucratic shadows.
“There is no honor in wealth stolen from the vulnerable, and no blessing in a house built on the ruins of public service,” he said. “If you are a parasite on the progress of this nation, you are no longer just breaking a law. You are violating a sacred covenant.”
Okul insisted that Uganda cannot build a First World nation with Third World ethics, and called for the end of the “facilitation” culture that has eroded character. He urged the nation to move from the shame of “all being corrupt” to the glory of a redeemed people.
“If the President has declared a season of ‘No Sleep,’ then let the corrupt find no rest and no hiding place,” Okul said. “Today, a line was drawn in the dust of Kololo. You are either a champion of integrity or an enemy of the state. I have chosen my side.”
He concluded with a direct warning: “The ‘No Sleep’ era has begun, and for those who choose greed over God and Country, the nightmare of justice is only just starting.”
For God and My Country.
