Go slow! Gen. Kalekyezi will remain in office #Uganda - @IGPUganda @KagutaMuseveni @aKasingye

There is a lot of excitement among Ugandans following the arrest of some of Gen. Kalekyezi's top confidants in the piece force.  Many citizens are speculating that Museveni is finally reigning on Gen. Kalekyezi 's excessive powers. They ought to prepare for a mega disappointment owing to the following reasons:

1.  Museveni's hold on power is based on the influential, dominant and preferential positions held by his ethnic Hima and Tutsi.  The Hima are dominant in the strategically powerful 10,000+ strong Special Forces Group. The Tutsi are dominant in the economic and political of the regime and its police force.  The regime police under the command of Gen. Kalekyezi has and continues to play a key role in keeping Museveni in power.  Gen. Kalekyezi is the defacto Vice President, regime Secretary General and Ideologist, custodian of Internal security, and King of the Banyarwanda in Uganda. Museveni can't afford to lose him at a time he needs him most.

2.  The alleged excesses by his top police commanders have been ongoing for quite some time and Museveni has been superintending over the same. They have been torturing, maiming, kidnapping, killing, robbing, stealing and extorting unabetted. The kidnapping and forceful return of Rwandese refugees to Rwanda by the Museveni regime agents is a practice that is as old as the Kigali regime (24 years).  Why question it now!!!!!

3.  Gen. Kalekyezi is viewed by the Kigali regime as the head of their own agents in and outside the Kampala regime security circles.  Rwanda has strategic interest in the social, political and economic life of the Kampala regime. While the Hima clique of the likes of the CMI, Col. Kandiho, Gen. Saleh and Gen. Tumukunde would wish to side with Rwandese dissidents opposed to Kagame, the presence of Gen. Kalekyezi at the helm of Internal security proves a big stumbling block. For Museveni, as usual he prefers to remotely play double standard - one leg with Kagame and the other with the dissidents. While Gen. Kalekyezi remains at the helm of Internal security in Uganda, there won't be any breeding ground for the anti- Kigali dissidents in Uganda.  He has put in place such a superb monitor's infrastructure that even if he was relieved from office, it would not be easily dismantled.  That way, the Kigali regime would even wish to have Gen. Kalekyezi as the president in Uganda. A few days ago, the Rwandese Ambassador to Uganda was busy publicly refuting claims that his country was grooming Gen. Kalekyezi to take over from Museveni.  This must have troubled Museveni so much.

4.  To consolidate his position, Gen. Kalekyezi has been aggressively undermining any potential replacement both in the police and other security agencies. He has made sure that he remains the only bull in the kraal.  Early this year, he killed the youthful AIGP Felix Kaweesi for the same reasons. He used his position to destroy all the incriminating evidence.  He systematically and skillfully diverted any parallel investigations by sister security agencies that would have unearthed his role.  He skillfully planted the so called "Kaweesi girlfriend" before the ISO thus bogging down their efforts by falsely believing that they had landed a big catch. The controversial Rwandese lady's much hyped evidence has turned out to be a hoax in favor of Gen. Kalekyezi. The lady is now claiming that ISO was forcing her to implicate Gen. Kalekyezi in the murder. This is what has annoyed Museveni most. That is why arrested officers can not be charged with the murder of Kaweesi.

5.  The arrested police officers have been charged before the military court martial with kidnap and forced return to Rwanda in 2013 of a former Kagame body guard who had sought asylum in Uganda. Why has it taken four years for the Museveni regime to take action against the perpetrators???  Since then many more Rwandese refugees have been killed in Uganda while others are kidnapped and forcefully returned.  Why has the regime ignored the exclusive report by a self-confessed security operative, Ali Kabanda that detailed the most shocking incidents of kidnap and forceful return of Rwandese refugees to Rwanda that involved top regime cadres from both regimes???  Are we about to see the army officers like Gen. Kainerugaba, Col. Kandiho, Col. Geoffrey Buryo and Col. Phenekas Mugyenyi who have in the past also been implicated in the kidnap and forced return of refugees???

The truth if the matter is that Museveni is simply trying to dupe Ugandans and the donor community who are generously giving him forex in the name of refugees protection in Uganda. He is simply trying to subdue these few Gen. Kalekyezi's police officers who in his estimates are growing dangerously stronger. He fears they can be used to carry out any mischief to pay or patronage. The choice of charging them before the military courts is precipitated by the need to cover up thus Ugandans may never see the conclusion of the so-called kidnap trial.

Therefore, Gen. Kalekyezi will remain in the same position for some time because Museveni prefers security heads who are having poor working relations.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND DEFIANCE IS THE WAY TO GO
