General Ssejusa leads to changes in UPDF : General Katumba becomes CDF while Aronda technically becomes Kayihura’s boss

Folks:

That is the proper heading. General Ssejusa is responsible for the wider changes in UPDF. The winner is actually General Ssejusa. The biggest losers are General Nyakairima who becomes minister of internal affairs and becomes the lead minister for another loser, UAH’s very own IGP, Lt General Kale Kayihura. Basically General Ssejusa’s letter and the IGP’s moronic reaction cost him the CDF post, which was his to lose.

So General Aronda is now technically speaking Lt General Kale Kayihura’s immediate boss, but given recent developments General Arond wil realize what general Sejjusa’s letter was all about. To be blunt, IGP Kale Kayihura ain’t gonna report to General Arond. Hell no.

I should add that YKM is very cunning. He makes General Aronda minister of Internal affirs to work with the IGP who was alleged to be working with forces bent on eliminating him. General Aronda may be timid, but he ain’t stupid so you have a sour relationships from the word go. Neither will trust the other for real. General Ssejusa must be laughing over there in London.

The permanent secretaries are interesting. Congratulations to Nnalongo Guwatudde Kintu Christine, who goes to the thieving OPM. Incidentally, she is probably one of the longest serving Permanent secretaries. She became PS at a very young age. That Budo lady (1975-1978), Makerere College School (1979-1981), MUK 1981-1984 is very lucky. Be firm.

Why has YKM refused to promote Mr. Matia Kassaija who has stood with him since their tough days in UPM to full minister?
