FAMILY RULE
The recent media fit about the famed Muhoozi Project is one
that has generated public curiosity at home and abroad. Many people are wondering
whether such a grand plan as Muhoozi Project exist within the NRM top echelon
about a possible Muhoozi Presidency. The question that many people are asking
is whether President Museveni is preparing his son to inherit the Presidency
like most African dictators do.
Recently, Rtd. Col Kasirye Gwanga fired the first salvo in
the media, warning that a possible Muhoozi Project will not only split the military
and the country, but is objectionable within the security circles. Had Kasirye
Gwanga spoken about this Muhoozi Project in isolation and moved on, the issue
would not have gained gravity, in the manner it has now. The additional voice
of a top security figure, Gen David Sejusa on this matter, has given this
Muhoozi Project a form, shape and life of a Dragon.
At its appearance, the NRM apologists would have argued that
this Muhoozi Project is a mere illusion. However, we all know how Mr. Museveni
operates. We can contend that this media buzz with the Muhoozi Project is a plot
by the calculative President Museveni to focus test the idea of a Muhoozi inheritance
of power. Through his soldiers, he wants to prepare the landscape for the
public acquaintance with a Muhoozi Presidency after Dad. For Muhoozi, it is
easy to develop a sense of entitlement to the Presidency; after all, his father
worked for it, built it for him and helped him build a personal army within the
UPDF for his defense.
If you follow Ugandan politics, you would easily recognize
how the President has become so predictable these days. He has become blunter
and his frustrations are no longer camouflaged. In the past, he used decoy and other
guerilla war strategies to wood-wink the population into trenches. For
instance, in 1996 when the president smuggled back censured ministers, he used
the most hated and feared man at the time, Maj Roland Mutale Kakooza as a bait,
by enlisting him in cabinet. The population had to juggle their conscience to
choose between insanity and criminality. They chose the latter and Museveni got
back the Sam Kutesa gang of censored ministers back into his government,
thereby cementing corruption as acceptable government strategy.
The Muhoozi Project is definitely not an illusion. Gen Sejusa
is neither a fool nor a man acting out of delusions. The Muhoozi Project is
real and it has roots in the infamous 1990s Basiita clan meeting resolution
whose main objective is to place the Bahiima in control of Uganda for at the
least, 50 years. This resolution was first leaked out during the 2001 general
elections. As usual, the government has denied its existence and distanced
itself from any such meeting. But we know that a Muhoozi Project is to
perpetuate this grand plan of family rule in Uganda.
Most analysts will agree that this government has redefined
public relations as a game of denial. So, whatever secret agenda they have in
private will be ferociously denied of its existence in public. The truth is
that the Muhoozi Project is a well orchestrated plot by a powerful group of
regime loyalist and evidences are there to corroborate its existence,
development and subsequent manifestation.
First, it took Muhoozi less than 12 years to rise to the
rank of Brigadier in the army, a rank that many officers spend half their
military life to attain. The biased selection of Muhoozi to get military
trainings in some of the most elite military academies in the world, in the UK,
US and South Africa are a living testimony that this man was being processed
for a mission specified by the powers that be (the illuminati).
Interestingly, Muhoozi's leadership of the most elite military unit,
including the mechanized units of the army places him in charge of a
private army within the UPDF. In this unit, most of its officers were handpicked,
thoroughly selected and trained through very rigorous procedures to ensure
loyalty. Most of these officers, men and women are either Westerners or Bahiima,
like the President and the ruling class in Uganda. If one wants to deny this
fact, it is worthy a challenge to unveil the names of the top 100 members of
this group by rank.
The revelations by Gen. David Sejusa therefore should not be
taken lightly as recommended by Dr Chrispus Kiyonga, the Defence Minister. Gen
Sejusa is not some pet shop boy around town. He has been the coordinator of
security services for a while now and he knows fully what he wrote about in the
papers. Gen Sejusa’s revelation also feeds into what Prof Gilbert Bukenya - the
former Vice President once opined that this government is full of mafias – the illuminati.
