President Museveni’s press secretary, Tamale Mirundi has said that he is so thankful to Uganda’s head of state. Mirundi says that even if president Museveni decides to sack him, he will remain eternally grateful to him.

“President Museveni saved my mother from death, he has educated my children, enriched them- And then what else do I want from him?”

Tamale Mirundi also denies allegations that president Museveni uses him to abuse the Kabaka of Buganda and insult anyone and every institution.

This follows a leaked 44 paged report by the UN Security Council group of experts pinning Rwanda and Uganda for backing the M23 rebels, who have been fighting the DR Congo army since April.

The document that builds on a UN report published in June, further says that army units from Rwanda and Uganda have helped the M23 expand its control of territory in the war-torn east of DR Congo.

However speaking to Journalists  this morning the Permanent Secretary in the ministry of foreign Affairs Ambassador James Mugume said these are wild allegations accusing the group of experts of being used by some countries that do not want stability in DR Congo.

He however says government will not be derailed in its efforts to bring stability to DR Congo.

Rwanda too has often denied the allegations as totally baseless.

Besigye told an opposition gathering on weekend in Jinja that parliament should pass a vote of no-confidence against Butera because the DPP is fond of imposing charges against opposition members on the directive of president Museveni/government.

Butera, however, has told news men in Kampala that he is not being used by president Museveni to fight political wars. Butera says that he imposes charges against opposition members who might have committed crimes.

He says that calls by Besigye to parliament to pass a vote of no confidence against him have no grounds. Besigye says that on several occasions Butera labeled charges against him including that of rape.

I wish to state categorically very cleanly that such information is coming from people who for some reasons (best known to them selves want to see me down politically), he explains.
