Also many people in the recent past have changed names. They include Gen. Salim Saleh.

Now we hear unconfirmed reports that the KCCA director has changed her name from Jenifer Musisi Semakula to ‘Jenifer Musisi Semakula ‘Mpawo Atalikaaba.’

When our reporter went to KCCA head offices to cross check the validity of this information Ms Musisi was in a closed door meeting.

However another source at KCCA told the reporter that it could be true that ms Jennifer Musisi is contemplating to change her name but she can’t change it to Jennifer “Mpawo-Atalikaaba.” The same source further told our news informer that it is the supporters of the Lord Mayor, Erias Lukwago who calls Ms Musisi ‘Jenifer Mpawo Atalikaaba.’

But we have been told that the Inspector General of Police, Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura has reportedly written a letter to the management of CBS FM warning them against belittling government officials and workers.

Sources from Bulange Mengo, the home of CBS FM told us that Kayihura wants the management of CBS FM to stop referring to him as Lt. Gen. ‘Kalekeezi’.’

The police boss tells CBS FM that he is called Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura but not ‘Kalekeezi Kayihura. The police boss reportedly informs radio CBS fm management that calling him Kalekeezi is equivalent to defamation and that if the radio station doesn’t stop the vice it risks closure and prosecution in courts of law.

Other officials in Uganda government who declined to be named because they are Baganda told this reporter that they are also not happy with the way some presenters on the station dramatize peoples’ names. For example, the government officials told us that some times news anchors on CBS FM refers to Hajji Kirunda Kivejinja as Kirunda ‘Kiveidinda,’ and president Museveni as ‘Sabagabe, Lugonda Magya, Nakwale (dancer who doesn’t leave the dancing hall) and Nakyemalira (dictator).

This follows intelligence reports that the FDC leader is plotting to declare an armed rebellion on the Kampala government.

Besigye who was the first runner up during the February presidential polls has however denied this intelligence information, saying that most of the informers no longer have things to report about.

A source sitting on the army council has told this reporter that UPDF treats all intelligence information in the same way and it can not just trash reports that the FDC leader is soon declaring a guerrilla war.

We take them seriously until proved otherwise. In a radio call message to all army detaches yesterday by Gen. Aronda Nyakairima, all commanding officers were told to be on alert anytime and get ready to quickly respond in case there is insecurity reported.
