One held over linking Salim Saleh to Rwandan dissident

Kampala. The Internal Security Organisation yesterday paraded carjackers and a man who allegedly forged documents that linked Gen Salim Saleh to Rwandan tycoon Tribert Rujugiro, who is wanted in Rwanda for subversion.
Mr Paul Cyibahiro, a Ugandan of Rwandan origin, was arrested on October 27 by the Internal Security operatives at Nasser Road where he is working as a graphics designer.

The Director General of Internal Security Organisation said in a statement that Mr Cyibahiro was also forging passports.
“This man has been helping refugees from DR Congo, Burundi and Rwanda to get Ugandan passports. But he is also connected to the forged documents that have been circulating that he Gen Salim Saleh was working with the Rwandan businessman,” a statement said.

The documents said Gen Saleh has shares in M/S Leaf Tobacco and Commodities Ltd owned by Rujugiro who has a tobacco business in Uganda.
The documents claimed that Gen Saleh and M/S Leaf Tobacco and Commodities Ltd signed a business deal on June 13, giving the general a 15 per cent stake in the company. In return, Gen Saleh grants “security” to the business.
This was after Mr Rujugiro announced that he would be constructing a $20 million tobacco processing factory in northern Uganda.
However, Mr Cyabahiro denied any connection with the said forged documents.

“I have no idea. We forge documents for refugees at Nasser. But I don’t know those documents of Rujugiro,” he said.
The Internal Security Organisation also paraded two carjackers who are reportedly members of the racket that steals cars and sells them in DR Congo, South Sudan and Tanzania.
One of the former notorious robbers, Paddy Sserunjogi, aka Sobi, who was at the press conference, said there was collusion between security operatives and car robbers.
Mr Sserunoji is now working with security agencies to arrest thieves.
