At Basiima House, the Deputy Director, Aronda Nyakairima would retain
a photocopy before allowing the original to reach Tinye. The Director
Fred Tolit was seen as a Tinye loyalist having worked closely in the
field. However, throughout Tinye would be very careful as not to write
a reply. During that time Tinye was spending much of his time at his
country home in Sembabule. He had dragged the govt to court for having
blocked his wish to leave the army. Major Itongwa had started armed
rebellion in Buganda and goverment panicked thinking that somebody
else, possibly Tinye was behind him. Aronda innitiated an intelligence
surveillance squad headed by then Lt Banson Mande to keep watch on
Tinye. I WAS WORKING IN ARONDA'S OFFICE AS HIS SECRETARY AND I WAS THE
CUSTODIAN OF THE TINYE FILE. When Tinye won the constitutional
petition, government hastly appointed Justice Kanyeihamba to the
Supreme court so as to quash the earlier constitutional court
decision.
Having lost the court battle, Tinye kept a low profile and even went
to the LDC to do a post graduate bar course. However security
surveillance around him remained in place and the army office regarded
sympathetic to him were subjected to close scrutiny.
After seemingly mending fences with M7, Tinye was brought back on
board but not anywhere close to active military service. Both Tinye
and Museveni knew that they were fooling each other. Following the
2001 elections, former Kampala Mayor Sebagala had threated to moblise
the masses for demonstrations in Kampala. Its Tinye whom Museveni
blessed to secretly meet Sebagala at the laters residence in Bugolobi
and a deal was struck to call off the demos. During some of the
Besigye fracases, Tinye was close to the CMI, Noble Mayombo. During
the Entebbe airport Besigye fracas, Tinye, seated in Mayombo's office
picked a phone and ordered then Capt Kayanja Muhanga (brother to
Andrew Mwenda) who was at the airport thus "KAYANJA JUST TIE UP
BESIGYE AND DRIVE HIM AWAY". Within the intelligence comunity the
belief was that it is not that Tinye did not approve of Besigye's
actions or supported the system, but because Besigye was attempting to
jump the presidential que. The system believes that Tinye has always
harboured presidential ambitions and the only way to contain him is to
keep him in the army but militarily innactive.
