Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: I HAVE A SECURITY PROBLEM IN UGANDA AND APPEAL TO BE BAILED OUT.
I am writing to you given the insecurity problem I find myself in which has called for those in authority constantly interfering with my communication which is not only crucial but critical as I get to address the ills in the Uganda society which our leaders ought to address. My name is William Kituuka Kiwanuka, a citizen of Uganda. http://www.hecarethforyou.blogspot.com/2013/04/william-kituuka-biography.html
I have much concerning my works in form of links in this communication which can be clicked on for detail. I am an innovative and creative personality as can be seen from my works. Specifically, the idea I have is that an organization/institution can help bail me out through an invitation and on reviewing my works, I am hopeful that I can have some contribution to the organization as I seek for asylum.
Description of my Problem
I happen to get phone calls of scam business proposals from people who allege to know me, when I don’t know them; however, in all cases, I have not agreed to meet any. I have learnt from a number of people who have tried to ring me but their calls failing to get connected and some end up assuming that I changed my number or that my phone is switched off! Yet, I don’t switch off my phones. I have for a number of years sent out project proposals under my Good Governance Organization, unfortunately, the content of my emails mostly the attachments get interfered with or deleted and are either not received or get distorted so that the objective is failed. As I write now, I am not sure of how many short messages I sent out by phone which did not arrive, yet I am unable to save a single phone number to my sim cards as the function has been disabled! I am unable to use an external modem for Internet connection as the connection has equally been disabled as long as I place in my sim card into the modem! I once in a while get people who I don’t know wishing to give me lifts while I am on foot, and I have disappointed them because I am suspicious that they could have ill motive against me. I am an opposition politician in Uganda, and many times a critic of Government policies, which some audience to-date listen to, and now Government seems to have intensified on seeing my communication disabled! In the circumstances, life has become simply frustrating. During the gone Easter period, one of my emails: goodgovernancepractice@gmail.com was deleted and two blogs; that is:
http://www.smackobcontribution.blogspot.com
http://www.goodgovernancepractice.blogspot.com
To me, this was terrible loss as I had worked on them for about a year.
What I have done in the circumstances:
I made a communication to the Ministers who are concerned with communication in Uganda – the link: http://www.hecarethforyou.blogspot.com/2013/04/attention-of-minister-of-state-for.html
I have also petitioned the Speaker of Uganda Parliament – the link is: http://www.hecarethforyou.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-petition-to-speaker-of-uganda.html
The blog below gives an idea of some of my works: http://www.hecarethforyou.blogspot.com
My works are divided into 4 major categories. They are:
1) My former school connections:

http://www.hecarethforyou.blogspot.com/2013/04/kituuka-on-marketing-uganda-pictirial.html
In the circumstances, I appeal to you to help bail me out of Uganda by offering me safe landing which will be ground for some other step to follow.
Thank you.

I was involved in preparations for St. Mary’s College Kisubi Centenary Celebrations from September 2005 up to the celebration time (2006). Roles performed:
Gathered information for the School website: www.smack.sc.ug and worked with the designer to incorporate links. (Though currently off )

Kajjansi Multi-purpose Tele Centre (KAMUTE) is a proposal meant to be used by 15 schools in Kajjansi Trading Centre hinterland so that the students/pupils doing their classes (P.7; S.4 & S.6) get 2-hour computer classes per week at the center at a minimal cost of Shs 2,000 per term. The outputs of the project being that by the time the trainees leave school they are computer literate and can use the computer skills to get employment or get information on innovations through the Internet which may help them in developing innovative ideas for own use in job creation.

Promotion of Moringa oleifera Enterprise
1) I was for sometime involved in the production of Reading Literature for the promotion of Moringa oleifera enterprise in Uganda, hence editor of a booklet on “Moringa oleifera” - The Miracle Tree (Compiled Notes On Moringa oleifera). This is after realizing that Ugandans are in need of literature on Moringa .o, a multi – purpose tree, nature’s medicine cabinet, with excellent source of nutrition and a natural energy booster among other things. The Book has information on Growing the tree; Moringa as a vegetable crop; Moringa in water treatment; Medicinal uses of Moringa; Moringa and HIV/AIDS.

i. Good discipline and academic excellence are hard earned.
ii. The importance of balancing performance in subjects.
4) I get literature on Career Guidance which I sell to interested schools.
Free Consultancy Services to Uganda Government
i. I wrote a paper: “Do Government Policies in Uganda Abet Poverty?” - This was for the attention of the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development – more so to review the Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) as it had no recognized role of Government Policies in poverty (that is; some policies of Government actually worsen the poverty situation). I am happy to note that after my paper, the Ministry of Finance found it necessary to review PEAP.
ii. Proposal on better management of taxes through filling the loopholes that exist in the system.
iii. Proposal to government to facilitate Ugandans to get employment outside the country.
iv. I proposed the introduction of a Central Registry Auditing centre for government Departments. As far as I am concerned, the innovation of “The Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS) by the Ministry of Finance is exactly the idea I put across, now being undertaken in a computerized manner.

The paper was a response to the Minister of Education and Sports' request to the public to contribute ideas on safeguards and guarantees for the loan scheme.
2). JOURNALISM AND PUBLISHING (1992 – 2001)

I am proprietor and Editor of Career Tips Magazine concerned with Career Guidance and Counseling. The Magazine aims at bridging the gap in career guidance and counseling in Uganda Schools as well as on advising on policy.
2. Freelance Journalist

(ii) The papers have also been used in submitting proposals to government. In 1996 I edited the Finance and Trade newspaper.
(iii) I had opportunity to solicit adverts and make article contributions to the Market Place and Finance and Trade papers.
(iv) I have had opportunity to interview a number of personalities for different publications.
(v) I was Editor of the Enterprise Magazine owned by Makerere University Commerce Association and also solicited adverts for it.
3). PROPRIETOR KAJJANSI COLLEGE (Feb. 1988 – Dec. 1991).
With funds from Canada, I started a Secondary School by the name Kajansi College. My strategy of having one class added per year made the venture expensive and unsustainable. I ended up giving the undertaking to the Headmistress of Kajjansi Progressive S.S.S at Lweza on Entebbe Highway to ensure continuity of the students.
