KAMPALA — President Museveni has castigated critics— asking them to leave Armed Forces out of the nonsense of tribal debates.
The president in statement on his social media aimed a dig at those who try to cast the NRM as a system monopolized by people from western Uganda.
“They shared an unclear picture trying to show some army people. Kindly, leave our Armed Forces out of the nonsense of tribal debates.
He said they (armed forces) have serious work to do and they have done it well.
“Leave them out of your confusion. The only point one can say about that is recruitment in the Armed Forces is by quotas per district. You check during the recruitment time,” he added.
He also shared a list of none westerners but with top government position in his administration. He mentioned his State House aide Lucky Nakyobe, his PPS Omona among others and said “Do not tell us about those cheap things of tribes and religious sectarianism”.
“Here in the Presidency, I am quite comfortable without many Banyankore, or, indeed,”any munyankore around

Negative responders tried to cast the NRM as a system monopolized by people from western Uganda. They shared an unclear picture trying to show some army people. Kindly, leave our Armed Forces out of the nonsense of tribal debates.
They have serious work to do and they have done it well. Leave them out of your confusion. The only point one can say about that is recruitment in the Armed Forces is by quotas per district. You check during the recruitment time.
However, you can look at your fellow civilian officers. Here in the Presidency, I am quite comfortable without many Banyankore, or, indeed, any munyankore around.
1) Mitala- Unless he became a munyankore today – Head of Civil Service.
ii) Katuramu- Westerner- Kabalega’s land;
iii) President’s Office – Kakande- only munyankore through enkaanda, otherwise muganda from Ddwaniro- Masuliita.
IV) State House Comptroller- Nakyobe – only guilty on the nkaanda side, muganda of some place.
v) PPS to the President- Omona – Originally Acholi, but somehow Kumamunized by residence.
I am quite comfortable without any big munyankore in the vicinity. Do not tell us about those cheap things of tribes and religious sectarianism. The LDUs that you are complaining about were all recruited from Kampala and Wakiso.
Are you trying to say that people of Wakiso and Kampala are bad because of mistakes of individuals against laid down laws, who are, moreover, punished for those mistakes?
