A few weeks back, Fangone Forest boss Patrick Mulwana alias Alien Skin’s photos while standing next to Lt. Gen. Proscovia Nalweyiso made rounds on the internet.
The photos sparked a debate among Alien Skin’s critics as they demanded to know why the two held a closed-door meeting just a few moments after the singer’s release from prison.
While appearing on the NBS TV morning show, Lt. Gen. Nalweyiso cleared the air stating that she only spoke to the singer cautioning him to behave well and act disciplined.
She added that she wanted to clear the air concerning rumors that spread revealing that she ordered the arrest and detaining of the singer after he and his gang assaulted doctors and security guards at Nsambya Hospital.
I wanted to talk to Alien Skin because there were rumors that I had instructed him to be arrested. I got the chance when those who know him brought him to me. I spoke to him as a parent and a grandparent, offering him advice about his behavior.
Lt. Gen. Proscovia Nalweyiso completely denied instructing the arrest of Alien Skin and explained that she would be surprised if he had not been arrested over his grievous attack on the hospital.

President Yoweri Museveni has announced that the government will begin validating religious miracles to ensure public safety and uphold legal and ethical standards.
Speaking during the commissioning of Prophet Samuel Kakande’s Temple Mount Church of All Nations at Mulago in Kampala, Museveni emphasized the need to balance religious freedom with the protection of public health and the prevention of exploitation.
Citing an example from a TV broadcast, the President shared a story about a man who claimed his mother was miraculously healed of cancer 43 years after being declared incurable by doctors.
Those stories are there. Now in your case, if you heal, the government is a quality controller. When there are industrial products, there’s an organ called the Uganda National Bureau of Standards. For healing, there are professional health bodies that must be involved.
The President also touched on the phenomenon of “holy water,” often referred to as having healing properties.
He mentioned examples such as the water at Namugongo and Bishop Hannington Centre in Busoga, which believers claim to have healing powers. While such water is generally free for public use, Museveni highlighted that selling it for profit would require government scrutiny.
Fine, if it is free water, you take it. If you’re healed, there’s no problem. But if you’re selling the water, that’s a business now. We are going to study that water.
