Gen David Sejusa has opened his heart to the former Prime Minister of Uganda Mr Amama Mbabazi and told him that as both men were responsible for the creation of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, he must come out and join him in the efforts to remove ‘the monster we created’. In a letter he has written to all Ugandans, Gen Sejusa ’.He says as both he and Mr Mbabazi are responsible for forming the NRM and handing its leadership to Gen Yoweri Museveni, both have a duty to their fellow countrymen to see to it that they remove him from power before he does more harm than he has already inflicted on the people of Uganda. The general who now heads Free Uganda, an organisation formed to hasten the remove of President Museveni from power, writes: “It is in this regard that I wish to tell Mr Mbabazi that he too has a duty to join the struggle to end this dictatorship.” Gen Sejusa remains one of Uganda’s most decorated army officer. He fell out with Museveni after he revealed there was a plot in 2012 by the Ugandan leader to make Museveni’s army officer son, Brig Muhoozi Kainerugaba succeed him as president. The general also claimed there had been plans by the incumbent to eliminate army generals opposed to Muhoozi becoming leader. Gen Sejusa said that Mr Mbabazi, who was last week sacked by Museveni from the Ugandan cabinet and from his post as Prime Minister, has a right and duty, like any other Ugandan, ‘to join the anti-dictatorship forces and allow Ugandans to achieve the critical mass desired to bring about the desired change’. Before he was sacked, Mbabazi had declared that he would be standing against Museveni in the 2016 Ugandan general election in which Museveni, who has been president of Uganda since 1986, will stand unopposed in the NRM for the leadership. Mbabazi who officially remains the Secretary General of the NRM, has been for a long time, like Gen Sejusa, part and parcel of the NRM power machinery. In his letter, Gen Sejusa warns his former colleague that the odds against him winning against Museveni are enormous. He added that as someone who has been at the helm of the Ugandan system, he should know how it works out. “He knows that he cannot win in that ring of fire if he does not stand resolutely to the end. One lesson I have learnt is to never cut deals with a monster,” the general said. Accusing Gen Museveni of betraying those that started the NRM, Gen Sejusa said: “…it’s incumbent upon all those who worked and helped shape this dictatorship, consciously or unconsciously, to join hands and to right this historic wrong.” He warned Mbabazi that he stands no chance of winning against Museveni in that ring of fire if he doesn’t stand resolutely to the end. “Mr Mbabazi must fight to the finish, no matter what. Lest he be devoured like all those before him,” Gen Sejusa warned his friend. In addition to having been a Senior Presidential Adviser and Coordinator of Military Intelligence from 2005 to 2013, Gen Sejusa held many prestigious government posts before he joi8ned the opposition. He warns Ugandans that Gen Museveni was planning to abrogate the Ugandan constitution in order to make it easy for him and his close associates to stay in power. I hope the opposition is following what’s happening inside NRM and in other institutions of state. He is trying to set up parallel structures in all government departments to undercut the formal state institutions and structures,” he writes. He charged that Museveni is now setting up parallel structures in all government institutions ‘to undercut the formal state institutions and structures’. “This is right from the security forces, police, to civil service, diplomatic corps, financial sector (especially banking), judiciary etc. He claimed that the Ugandan leader was now training a ‘multitude of innocent young men’ that he is placing in government departments with the intention of later arming them and actualising ‘a quiet coup against the formal state’. thelondoneveningpost/sejusa-tells-mbabazi-join-me-remove-the-monster-we-created/ — — in Kayunga, Uganda.
