Suspicion spreads in Kampala over Museveni's failure to attend Kazini burial



All over Kampala, suspicion is growing over why President Yoweri Museveni did not attend the burial in Museveni's own Kiruhura district of the late army commander, Maj. Gen. James Kazini.

Museveni attended the funeral at All Saints Cathedral in Nakasero, Kampala on Thursday Nov. 12, but was not there at the burial the next day.

Museveni's absence --- as well as that of the Minister of Defence, Dr. Crispus Kiyonga, the Minister for Security Amama Mbabazi, and other high ranking security and military officials, has raised suspicions that Kazini's death was a political murder sanctioned from the highest level in the country.

The talk in Kampala is that just a few days before, Museveni had attended the burial of Brian Bukenya, a junior military officer and the son of the Vice President, Gilbert Bukenya, and it is inexplicable why the president would not attend the burial of a senior army officer who was a former army commander and member of the Army High Command.

The rumours have been compounded by the fact that at the time Kazini was being buried, Museveni was said to be in Lyantonde addressing boda boda cyclists, and not Karamoja as media reports had indicated.

Lyantonde, a small town along the Kampala-Mbarara highway, is well within travel distance to Kiruhura district.

A source told the Uganda Record that perhaps Museveni's soothsayers and fortune tellers advised him not to attend Kazini's burial as it might bring upon Museveni a bad omen, as happened to his brother Gen. Salim Saleh after the murder of Kazini's brother, Lt. Col. Jet Mwebaze, in Sept. 1997.

Saleh was beset by nightmares and tormented by sleeplessness for months after Mwebaze's murder.
