Information reaching our news desk has it that Uganda’s soldiers have been secretly hired to monitor Kenya’s national election exercise. The sources in Kenya told us that Nairobi accepted to hire Ugandan soldiers because they are rough enough to encounter any type of post election hooliganism and violence.

Uganda soldiers will partner with other regional forces and continental garrisons including West African armies to ensure that there is peace after elections in Kenya. There was fatal chaos after last national elections in Kenya in which over three thousand people died.

The same sources further told us that Ugandans under their umbrella association of the Citizens’ Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda (CCEDU) will monitor Kenya’s presidential election. The Kenyan election exercise will take place on March 4, 2013.
