Man in the news, Gen. David Sejusa

After the government managed to ensure he does not appeal on a local radio show on KFm, Gen. David Sejusa was this evening hosted on BBC focus on Africa and he wasted no time in lambasting his bush war colleague as a dictator, anti people and man pushing an “unconstitutional” project of life presidency and monarchical kind of rule by allegedly grooming his son Brig. Gen. Muhoozi kainerugaba to take over from him.

He also confirmed what many have suspected that he has presidential ambitions.

“I cannot rule it out. A four star general without ambitions is misplaced…who gave Mr. Museveni the right to rule us for ever,” Gen. Tinyefuza said.

Gen Sejusa who is currently in some sort of exile in the UK has been in the headlines since he authored a controversial letter in which he alleged that there were assasination plans against senior military officers opposedn to “project Muhoozo” -an alleged plot to have Muhoozi replace his father Museeni as President.
The letter led to the closure of four media outlets including the Daily Monitor and Red Pepper, as well as KFm and Dembe fm. The media houses were re-opened after 11 days but after stiff conditions by the government to avoid coverage of security issues that can distablise the country.

Sources at Hotel African tell our reporter that the general was seen Sunday night freely mixing up with people including dancing with peoples wives when their husbands were even around.

This time the people who saw the General say that he was jolly and freely shared his political views with the people who were around.

The General reportedly danced with female musician Sophie Gombya when her husband Sam Gombya was around and watching every step.

Sam Gombya reportedly looked worried when the money coughing army general danced with his wife. It is said that Sophie Gombya danced like a caterpillar when she got a chance to dance with the most feared army general in Uganda. But is there anything wrong with an army general dancing with your wife at a public function?

The minister for Presidency Masiko Kabakumba told the Parliamentary committee on Presidential Affairs that she has already written a letter to Tinyefuza advising him to leave the building.

MPs on the committee told Kabakumba that if he does not obey the orders to vacate, Parliament will evoke its powers of court to forcefully evict him.

Shadow minister for special regions and also a member of the committee Stephen ochola explains that Kabakumba will have to come back to Parliament and give a report on the matter.

He says Tinyenfunza should be able to find another place where to relocate  by 30^th August 2011.

The building under contention is an office and a command centre where a UPDF General David Tinyenfuza coordinates his intelligence work.

Appearing before the committee chaired by Barnabas Tinkasimire, Muruli explained that much as Tinyenfuza occupied the house because of the need to coordinate intelligence activities, his man was ready to vacate.

But, the committee insisted that Muruli informs the committee the exact day and date Tinyenfuza will vacate the house since he has persistently defied KCCA Executive Director Jenifer Musisi’s orders to leave.

But, Muruli defended Tinyenfuza who has also on several occassions defied the MPs’ summons to appear and defend himself before the comittee, saying he had come to tell MPs that   tinye is going to vacate the house.

After MPs’ demands to have the minister give a timeframe within which his man was to vacate the house hit a snag, the charged legislators accused Muruli of taking them for granted and demanded his exit.

Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Executive Director Jennifer Musisi was also in the committee to witness the verdict,

This follows last week’s forceful eviction  of Balalo from Bulisa after over two years of court battles between Balalo and bagungu over land in the area.

Gen. David Tinyefunza

The Coordinator of Security Forces Gen. David Tinyefuza who led the eviction exercise yesterday handed back the land to indigenous Bagungu.

He dismissed allegations that the government has forcefully taken over the land of balalo because some government officers want to take over because it has oil underneath.

He said the balalo had wrongfully acquired the land from a few unscrupulous bagungu and the Court of Appeal ordered that the Bablolo should vacate the land and it reverts back to the indigenous Bagungu.

Bunyoro Kingdom’s Minister of Lands and natural Resources, George Kyaligonza welcomed the government’s return of the land to the indigenous people and promised the kingdom will work with local people to acquire titles for their land.
