Thought and Ideas
Is the current Generals’ rumblings the new version of ‘Uncoordinated troop movements’?
Brig. Ggwanga (L) says any attempt to impose the President’s son on Uganda as head of state would cause instability in the country while Gen. Nyakairima (C) denied claims by Gen. Sejusa (R) that there was a plot to assassinate senior citizens opposed to the idea of Muhoozi taking over from his father, President Museveni. PHOTOS BY FAISWAL KASIRYE

In Summary
Current situation. The Coordinator of the national intelligence services, Gen. David Sejusa (better known to the public as Tinyefuza), in an April 29, 2013 official letter to the Director-General of the Internal Security Organisation asked that ISO investigate reports of a plot to “assassinate people who disagree with this so-called family project of holding onto power in perpetuity.”
Sejusa has now spoken and let it be known that he and others oppose the “Muhoozi Project”. Ggwanga has said so too. It is all out in the open now, so there will not be instances of senior army officers dying in motor “accidents”. But the tensions will keep increasing, until when and until what at this point only God knows.

My earlier msg. delivered to H.E through you concerning intelligence concerns about the likely consequences of what the public has dubbed the Muhoozi project issue that is becoming divisive and creating fertile ground for causing intrigue especially in the Army. As you recall, in that message I gave detailed intelligence information on some of those claims, like the so called project of the son being fast tracked outside the law to hold serious positions many of which he may not be qualified by the set standards (sops) like experience in command, seniority or aptitude, etc. I also raised the concerns of many serving officers on the informal involvement of Gen. SS in many affairs of state especially in the Army, considering that he is formally retired from the Army.

In his document he claims that through the Director General Internal Security Organization (DGISO) he delivered a message to H.E The President in which he highlighted Intelligence concerns about likely consequences of what the public has dubbed the “Muhoozi project”. In the document he states that the issue is becoming divisive and creating fertile ground for causing intrigue especially in the UPDF. The General further states that the so called “Mbuya Barracks attack” was conducted by some senior officers in the UPDF. As the Chief of Defence Forces of the UPDF, I am not aware of such concerns neither does the Intelligence Community. The statement therefore is not only false but misleading.
