City boss, bodyguard face murder charges

Kayihura says eviction was done without police notice as President Museveni maintains the law should take its course.

Prior to this appointment, Mr Agaba, also popularly known as Kive-Bulaya (he who came from abroad) is said to have sat several interviews in Sembabule, Lwengo and Kampala districts in a bid to secure a job as a town planner but was unsuccessful.

According to an academic transcript Mr Agaba submitted to KCCA, he was admitted to Makerere University in 1998 to pursue a degree in Urban Planning. Mr Agaba reportedly stated he was born on October 25, 1976. He was registered as a Rwandese national. The transcript, which is ‘suspect’ owing to numerous inconsistencies in the document compared to other Makerere University transcripts, states he graduated on April 5, 2002.

His whereabouts after Makerere are little known until he suddenly left the country. It has now emerged that Mr Agaba found his way to the United States and while there, the Ugandan Embassy in Washington on June 22, 2006 issued him with a Ugandan passport NoB0531097. According to the passport, Mr Agaba stated he was born on January 1, 1975, in Nyabitanga, Ssembabule District.

A close relative this newspaper spoke to on condition of anonymity last evening said Mr Agaba was actually born in 1972 and was then called ‘George Ninsiima’. According to the relative, the name Agaba came along later in his life.
“I remember when he had just returned to Uganda from the United States,w he wanted to stand for Lwemiyaga constituency parliamentary seat,” said Lwemiyaga MP Theodore Ssekikubo, who added he lost interest in the race under unclear circumstances.

“He was later appointed a campaign agent for Mr Sam Kutesa,” Mr Ssekikubo added.
Police records show Mr Agaba was in 2010 arrested over possession of an illegal firearm and an electoral commission camera. Using the same firearm, Mr Agaba reportedly attacked Mr Sekikuubo at Kitooke in Sembabule during the bloody Ssembabule NRM primaries.

Police records also show he was disarmed of the said firearm which is being used as evidence in the case. On February 9, 2010, Mr Agaba was controversially pictured leading a group of stick-welding youths in Kinoni, Ssembabule District. The youths physically assaulted Kinoni residents in one of the most brutal cases of electoral violence in the history of Uganda.

That he was on Sunday caught out in another incident, Mr Agaba, who is now suspended from KCCA, has proved to be no stranger to controversy.
