Brig.Tumukunde?
SAM KALEGA NJUBA, 64, was minister for Constitutional Affairs between 1986
and 1994. He tells EDRIS KIGGUNDU his recollection of the Museveni he
knows:-
First meeting with Museveni
I first met President Museveni in Dar-es-Salaam [university] around
1967-1968. We never interacted much. He was very much involved in political
activities. I was very much concerned with my degree because I was in my
final year.
We met again in strange circumstances when Paulo Muwanga arrested me in 1980
at Makindye [military barracks] and in an effort to get me released one of
the people my wife [Gertrude Njuba] contacted was Museveni. He was then
deputy to [Paulo] Muwanga [on the Military Commission].
I had to go and thank him for assisting me. I found he had started UPM
[Uganda Patriotic Movement] and I joined him.

When I left prison in 1980, Museveni persuaded me to join politics. He told
me if I did not join politics, there would always be suspicion that I was
doing underground work. So I decided to come out and be politically active.
I had looked at UPC and its historical record was bad. Obote had abrogated
the constitution [in 1966].
DP was docile
I am sorry to say. They thought everything could be done by
the grace of God. So I wanted to find a new party.
Museveni gave me the impression that he was brave and I thought he was
determined to put right what had gone wrong. He was not sectarian [and]
tribalistic.
After 1986
As minister [for Constitutional Affairs] I did interact with him closely. I
remember when I was setting up the Constitution Commission [a.k.a Odoki
Commission], each time I would select someone he would appoint him or her a
minister or something else. He wanted to know each and every detail in the
department.
Secondly, he was a sadist. For instance, whenever a minister would fight a
fellow minister, he would enjoy that. He would not act.
Museveni in cabinet
Museveni used to chair Cabinet meetings regularly but in his absence, the
prime minister [then Dr. Samson Kisekka] would sit in. I think Museveni is
very funny. You must learn him to enjoy him. At one stage, he used to be
very blunt. He would call you and say so and so said something about you.
Then as time went on, he became reserved. He would get a report and keep
quiet.
Then some ministers were of the view that they should tell Museveni only
what he wants to hear. He learnt of this and he became stubbornly negative.
In other words, people got to know what he wanted and they would keep that
line.
I opposed him
I opposed him [in cabinet] on the issue of commissioners co-owning cars.
[When opposed], he would find a way of subduing you. He did not want to be
opposed particularly when there are other people around.
His weaknesses
He would get information about you [behind your] back. At first, he was very
honest. I remember when he had just come to power, the World Food Programme
was trying to bring in powdered milk, tinned fish and things of that kind
and he said why dont you give us drugs for animals? We would be able to
sustain ourselves. Until recently, I did not believe he was corrupt.
He is [also] a backstabber. He gave us the impression that he meant well
that people would be given freedom to choose and do what they want as long
as it is in the law.
One time in the early days of Museveni, soldiers fired bullets so much in
the air. The incident was in Kampala. So I went and asked a few soldiers the
cause of the riot. They said they are not happy with the way they eat, the
way they dress. I went and told Museveni that these young men are not happy
about the way they are treated.
He asked me which people? I told him they are many. So he insisted and I
told him a name of someone X who had cleared me to tell the president his
name. Then the person X who was assistant [District Administrator] was
dropped to katebe (sidelined) and I heard that he later died.
Another time is when [Andrew] Kayiira died. I called State House and I was
told he [Museveni] was having a bath. They told me to call after ten
minutes. I called him again; they said he had gone to Kanungu.
Earlier, we had been at the Conference Centre and Kayiira had been acquitted
of treason.
Museveni stood up and said: Although he has been acquitted, I know he is
guilty. He wanted to overthrow me. I had to tell him after we finished that
the courts have decided; if you say that, then it will show that you have no
confidence in the judiciary. I naturally do not like driving a point too
hard.
According to the law, I was supposed to receive the draft constitution and
recommendations. The commissioners went behind my back
I think with his
encouragement and took it [1995 draft constitution] to Mbarara where he was.
I was told to go to Mbarara. But when he received it, he passed it to me.
I knew he was getting a lot of information about me from the commissioners.
I am glad I did not go to prison because there were some allegations against
me.
I did not agree with Museveni calling the commissioners for briefing even
after he had made a submission [to the commission].
Looking back, I discover that he had a programme, a set agenda that he is
now following. People say he is surrounded by people who advise him poorly.
But I am beginning to doubt this. He sent away all those people who had the
capacity to advise him and he has surrounded himself with weaklings, people
he can use to do his business.
Moments with Museveni
One day I asked him to bring water to my area (Kyadondo East) and he agreed.
I followed it up, and it was implemented. But I did not believe Museveni or
the president was the source of all goodies. I knew the line ministers and
if I wanted anything, I would go to them and say I want this and this.
But I know colleagues he would embarrass. He would go to a function and when
people ask him about something, he would call the minister to explain yet
the minister had already told him what the problem is.
Fall out
[My fall out with Museveni] was a gradual process. First, I [dont] know why
I was appointed minister of Constitutional Affairs. I think he did this
principally to make me unpopular. Coming from a region which was very much
interested in the constitution and was making some demands, if I was
anti-federo (federalism), he knew this would make me unpopular [among the
Baganda] and if I was for federo then I would be unpopular with him.
I decided that I would remain very neutral and ask the people of Uganda what
they want. I set up the commission; I wrote a paper, which was gladly
accepted by government. To make me minister of Constitutional Affairs was a
challenge. I could have refused [the appointment] but I think
I did not have
the opportunity to say no because I was even told by someone that he had
heard my name over the radio.
For example, there were certain commissioners who told him bad things about
me. [Foster] Byarugaba told him that I was against his idea of
decentralisation. He thought rightly or wrongly that I was more on the
Baganda side.
My sacking
[Being dropped from cabinet] did not take me by surprise. I was expecting
it. You see unless you are an idiot, which I am not
I have also got my
intelligence. I know we were not particularly friends from the start. I knew
I was outliving my usefulness to him.
When I left government, I knew we were heading for problems.
Musevenis agenda
With [due] respect, I think he has exhausted his programmes. He is a
prisoner
you see I have a theory I am trying to develop. You come with a
very good agenda. You put that agenda to your relatives, friends
to your
immediate family. They think you are giving them that opportunity to serve
their kin, to enrich themselves. So they do that and give you a bad name.
But because they are your relatives and friends, you cannot immediately
discipline them, so it continues. Because you can no longer discipline them,
you become a prisoner of your people. And it is too late now. You become
corrupt because you have to stay.
Secondly, it did not take Europe five or ten years to become industrialised.
It took ages. What Museveni is telling you is that he will stay on and on
and until
I dont know. God will decide. Unless a miracle happens, we are
heading for very bad times.
Museveni vs past leaders
You cannot compare the opportunities they were given and the opportunities
he has been given. The man had goodwill. It is as if the others were
prisoners. Can you compare me [in a race] - with my legs and hands tied - to
[Dorcus] Inzikuru? The comparison is not necessary. He has been in
government for twenty years and you think you will compare him with others?
To compare him with Idi Amin is an insult. He had more facilities than Idi
Amin had.
About army MPs
It was not a good idea but again you must remember the nature of the
Movement. This country was built on the blood of the people. They should
have stopped at the CA [Constituent Assembly]. From the CA the soldiers
would have gone back to the barracks. They would have become professional
soldiers.
We cannot continue with army representation in the multiparty system.
About districts
We have more districts than counties. This has brought in a lot of
tribalism. We have never fought to make tribalism thrive as we have done
this time. Every little corner is a district based on tribal sentiments and
this is the most disservice Museveni has done to this country.
Epitaph
I want to be remembered as an advocate and gentleman who put off his
professional amour to liberate this country and once this was done he
returned to his profession.
