Uganda’s President, Gen. Museveni. A top general and former key aide launches serious accusations
[Op-Ed: Global]
Gen. David Sejusa, a former top aide to Uganda’s U.S.-backed president Gen. Yoweri Museveni, whom he’s had a falling out with, sent the following letter to his Ugandan lawyer Joseph Luzige with serious allegations against his former boss, Gen. Museveni.
Sejusa says he has photographs of Museveni’s former comrades in arms who he later had murdered and warns him to ‘go slow.’ In the letter he also accuses Gen. Museveni of ordering the killing of other prominent Ugandans such as Andrew Kayiira, a minister and former rival. Gen. Sejusa was responding to an article in Uganda’s The Daily Monitor that he says was a smear campaign orchestrated by Gen. Museveni against him and his family.
The Black Star News obtained the following copy from Gen. Sejusa’s associates in London where the general took refuge after denouncing the Museveni regime earlier this year. Gen. Sejusa in part writes:
‘This time we shall not allow you to murder our people. It started in the Bush, remember our army commander Sam Magara and those boys you used to kill him in cold blood? We kept their photos. They will be released for your enjoyment.’
Below is the letter with some words converted to American English spelling:
Dear counsel Luzige, I have read the monitor story of today 25. 8. 2013.
It’s nauseating to say the [least]. As you can see this is a government run amok, mis- information stunt.
But it’s dangerous too as it shows a CRIMINAL INTENT. First of all, I don’t know of any close relative who runs a forex bureau. Who indeed would have access [US $8 million]? That type of money is of course peanuts to the Museveni family.
That’s why in their eyes, it’s a credible spin. But like all lies, this is not hard to expose.
In any case, this should not be difficult to establish, its source, transit route through bank of Uganda, etc. So go right ahead and publish the name of the forex and the owner and all those other factors about the alleged transaction.
Secondly, let’s know the name of other relative who left the country with that stash of money and back, that who could carry such huge amounts of money undetected. That US Dollars 8 million. How foolish must this spinner be! It is laughable.
To try and sound smart, the spinners mix in foreign intelligence. You don’t have to be bright to know the foreign power they mean. Remember they had alleged that before I got away, I met and plotted with the British High Commissioner about my escape.
This was leaked in the press by their local tabloid. This, as we all know was a total lie. So this is basically intended to serve three purposes:
1). To lay ground to harass, disorganize and harm my family and their livelihood. This will not be the first time as I will explain later. However, as the story develops the people of Uganda will get to know the game plan of Museveni and his gang. They will learn that this is a trick long played by Museveni to get to his political opponents, their families and businesses.
Actually Museveni did the same with Maj. Gen James Kazini when he accused him that he was sending money to elements in Southern Sudan (SPLA) and West Nile veterans to topple him. That’s when Museveni ordered his execution by procuring the services of a 6-foot 6-inches man to murder Gen Kazini. Forget that trash of [Lydia] Draru.
In case of Kazini, again some forex bureau, originally said to belong to Gen Kazini, but actually that belonged to a known relative of Museveni was later to be used to pass the money for the payment of the executioners of Kazini, to the accounts of the assassins.
The family of Gen Kazini knows this, and when his young brother SINGA [Muhwezi] tried to follow this, he too was killed. And the KENYAN team of private investigators which had been hired by the family was attacked and it left the country at night. And the family was threatened and their businesses targeted, etc.
Two very close senior relatives of Museveni supervised this. But I will not mention their names for now, though their names are known by those with this information. But for now lets keep it at that. Now it’s the same game being played by Museveni and those close to him, we are watching.
This time we shall not allow you to murder our people. It started in the Bush, remember our army commander Sam Magara and those boys you used to kill him in cold blood? We kept their photos. They will be released for your enjoyment.
This mischief must stop Mr. President.
You know we know you. You are dealing with a different cup of tea. Please go slow in trying to enjoy it. It will burn you. So go slow on your dirty tricks campaign.
For those not in the know again Andrew Kayiira was said to possess money before he was gunned down by Museveni goons.
The list of the killers is known because the case was investigated by the best police in the world.
So there is no debate about that. The reason given was money. Mr. Museveni knows the real motive and the real executioners. If Mr. Museveni does not go well and use this time to ask for amnesty from the people uganda, then your crimes will overwhelm you.
Let Scotland Yard release the Report of Kayiira’s murder and many many others. The world will be shocked about the murderers in our midst.
For now your game plan is clear. It’s stupid because its reckless. But watch out. I can assure you your every move is being watched. Those who died will live to haunt you. I don’t steal like you.
The British government knows my situation. Britain [is] not a corrupt Banana Republic like ours which you have destroyed through your corruption. They would not allow US 8 million to be smuggled at the airport. It’s a foolish lie.
2). The second reason for this story is to try and make me look as dirty as that Club of Looters. Unfortunately for you, it can’t hold now. It’s too late. I know you are trying to destroy the little I earned at home.
Just like you did in 1996, 1997 and 1999. If you do, God will reward me 10-fold or more. He always did and will!
But everything has its time. So you can go ahead and please yourself Mr. President.
3). Third reason is to threaten people from helping me, by trying to link them to a rebellion. This rebellion is music to my ears. It’s not bad at all as it sounds when it’s being alleged. Not bad story at all. We need to be told its extent, organization, personnel, arms, support. Target, etc etc!
It’s gonna be interesting. So go right ahead and charge me, not for desertion, for that’s not the real reason you assaulted the Entebbe International Airport, but for that alleged treason, bring it in the open.
It’s high time. Just be informed [I am] not afraid.
Lastly a word of caution to those being used for this propaganda, you may be paid. But when the country sinks, you too will be chief guest at the sinking party.
So we need to be mindful of what all this portends to our country.
Gen. David Sejusa
