VIDEO: Rwomushana claims Salim Saleh constructed an opposition to frustrate a nationwide mass uprising
“They will talk about it, they will threaten it but won't organise it. That is what the Lukwago syndicate means,”
Uganda has this week come to learn that Gen Salim Saleh has been funding Erias Lukwago’s political activism with many speculating that the Lord Mayor was made by the influential President Yoweri Museveni’s brother right from the days when he was still a Member of Parliament.
In a surprising revelation, a note addressed to Lukwago surfaced on social media and in it, Saleh, real names Caleb Akandwanaho, was withdrawing all his support from Lukwago. In it, Saleh alluded that Lukwago is a liar who is filled with hate.

Apparently, Lukwago had angered the General during the United Forces of Change end-of-year prayers that had harsh encounters with security forces.
Speaking to the media, Lukwago had attacked Saleh saying the retired army man was misusing taxes prayers money and wields too much power that he is equally misusing.
The chit from Saleh gave credence to the good old speculation that most opposition politicians work for the government and are out there to frustrate any attempt to cause regime change.
And now, Charles Rwomushana, a former Internal Security Organization (ISO) operative and head of political intelligence in State House, reveals that Saleh constructed an opposition leadership to frustrate a nationwide mass uprising.
In a tweet on Friday afternoon, Rwomushana said that the thing Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986, fears most is the population doing a mass uprising.
To avert this, Museveni and his brother Saleh hatched a plan which was to create an opposition that ensues that no mass uprising happens.
“They will talk about it, they will threaten it but won’t organise it. That is what the Lukwago syndicate means,” Rwomushana tweeted, attaching a video of him appearing on BBS Television’s program Amaaso ku Ggwanga.
What Museveni fears most is the population doing a Mass Uprising. So Saleh constructed an Opposition leadership to frustrate a Nation wide Mass Uprising.
They will talk about it, they will threaten it but won't organise it.

When asked by NBS Television while appearing on the Frontline program if Ugandan opposition is filled with moles and spies working for the regime, the founder of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Dr Kizza Besigye, answered in the affirmative.
“There are many moles in the opposition, there’s no doubt about that. What distinguishes a mole from a non-mole is not what they say but their actions,” said Besigye
On his friend Lukwago, Besigye said that he believes Lukwago is not a mole because of his actions. “Lukwago will continue to be attacked as long as he doesn’t compromise and do what they want,” he said.
“What we are seeing with the Lord Mayor is not any different from what has been happening in the country.
“They” will try to attach anything to someone who is fighting the junta, so they discourage the population. It’s an old trick used by all juntas,” said Besigye.
