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.
