A cash race kind of is said to be taking place at the NRM headquarters in Kyaddondo with information suggesting that two bitter camps have emerged among incumbent Secretariat top bosses with each camp ready to strangle the other’s neck (details on who belongs where and why, are on the way).
At the centre of the controversy, are allegations of alleged fraud suggesting that some of the leaders are now under investigations for allegedly obtaining money from wealthy people in the name of the President.
Unfortunately, according to available information, this money grew wings as it was never delivered to the President in whose names it was allegedly obtained purportedly to support his campaigns.
Apparently, some crafty leaders upon getting the money, kept sacks of it in their homes. That money left the Secretariat in drones!
Upon securing the money, many of them are said to have invested the money in real estate and farming projects, with one of them said to have bought a whole coffee plantation measuring 100 acres.
“The person bought the farm and paid in cash leaving zero balance. Who has ever seen this kind of financial arrogance?” explained an inspector, adding that,
‘Others have used the money to buy several properties in the city including places like Muyenga and Kisaasi. One of them got property in Nairobi, Dubai and South Africa’.
According to inspectors, the President’s attention to the goings-on at the Secretariat arose from reports of immense infighting taking place at the Secretariat which has also drawn in lower Cadre staff. The Head of State decided to dig up the source of the alleged fights.
“The fight is not useful to anyone in the party or aimed at improving it, but basically about WHO TOOK MORE?”
Explained an inspector.
It’s been claimed that the party chairman has been angered upon reports that some of the guys could have miss-used his name.
“They conned many people in the name of Mzee. The President has got massive support from all corners with many people willing to contribute towards every cause he’s involved in. When they got this support, they never delivered it and ensured that those who contributed never get to see Mzee” explained an inspector.
It is for this reason that the President is said to be bitter with some of the bosses at the Secretariat and now wants a full report before taking action.
Inspectors said because of this, many of the bosses are on tenterhooks fearing that the President is going to axe them. We’ve been told that in the plan, a big broom is going to sweep at the Secretariat which is going to be merged with the First son’s PLU.
“They know Muhoozi is very aggressive and many of them are under scrutiny. That’s their source of fear” explained an inspector, adding that ongoing social media buzz is one of the latest attempt by the bosses to expose eachother as being more corrupt.
In a most recent social media buzz, a Presidential aide has tabled several land titles from prime areas in town allegedly owned by one of the bosses. We’re told the war is simply within; as the Secretariat bosses having amassed a lot, are now badly divided and are tearing up upon hearing of the President’s concerns and plans. They have now resorted to exposing eachother’s alleged loot via social media, unknowing that the matter is now beyond bloggers and turned into a national issue. We are told the social media project was crafted to try to divert attention. However, it has now incited the NRM cadres who are urging the President through the CEC members to investigate and take action against alleged NRM party resources looters.
“The two camps have hired bloggers to expose their opponents. It’s a bitter war going on. Unfortunately, they have invited the public” explained an inspector.
President is said to be closing in and soon, news from plot 10, Kyaddondo may not be good for some of them.
According to inspectors, some of the names being suggested for deployment at the Secretariat include Ruth Nankabirwa, Beatrice Atim Anywar and Irene Muloni, all former MPs and Ministers. Watch the space!
