Gen David Sejusa claims to have a 2-year UK visa

Renegade general tells MPs he has 2-year visa

Gen David Sejusa aka Tinyefuza planned for life in exile long before he fled to the UK last April, The Observer has established.

Sejusa told two MPs, Theodore Ssekikubo (Lwemiyaga) and Paul Mwiru (Jinja Municipality East), who met him in London last month, that he secured a two-year British visa and cash to keep him going for a while.

The MPs were in London to attend the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association meeting under the auspices of the British House of Commons and the Commonwealth Secretariat. Sejusa, who was coordinator of intelligence services, reportedly told the MPs that, with his two-year visa, he is not under any pressure to either return to Uganda or seek political asylum immediately.

“He has no plans of seeking asylum from anywhere because his visa is still valid; it is a two-year visa,” Mwiru told us on Friday.

The MPs said the general did not look troubled or worried.

“We are talking about a general, a chief spy; he definitely knew what he was going into, and planned ahead,” Mwiru added.

However, Sejusa did not tell the MPs how long he intended to stay in the UK. Before he left, Sejusa, an army MP, applied for a month’s leave from Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga and later, through his lawyer Joseph Luzige, he asked for a three-month extension.

The MPs say it’s Sejusa who asked to meet them while in London.

“When he [Sejusa] heard of our presence [in London], he sought to have a meeting with us and we agreed,” Mwiru told The Observer on Friday.

Ssekikubo added: “Even if he hadn’t initiated the meetings, I would have sought him out because there is no law that stops me from meeting him. He is a Ugandan and I am willing and ready to meet any Ugandan, be it LRA’s Joseph Kony.”

The Observer has learnt that Sejusa and the MPs met at least three times during the duration of their stay in UK.

“We first met over lunch, then we had another meeting over a cup of coffee and at times we could take a walk or drive around the streets of London,” Ssekikubo said.

At one such meeting, some suspicious people showed up, forcing Sejusa to contact the British police who responded immediately, the MPs said.

Sejusa, who disappeared just as the press published a letter he had written, asking the internal security (ISO) head to investigate reports that some prominent state officials opposed to a future Muhoozi Kainerugaba presidency were to be assassinated, initially said he would return on May 10, only to cancel the journey amid reports of heavy security deployment at Entebbe International airport and along the highway to Kampala.

His lawyer, Joseph Luzige, later announced that the general had postponed his return because he was not ready to be “arrested like a cockroach.”

In what now appears to be exile, Sejusa has remained highly critical of President Museveni, denouncing him on BBC, VOA and in incessant emails to his lawyer and the media.

Message

As the MPs left London, Sejusa gave them a message to carry home, which they plan to deliver on the floor of Parliament.

“He told us to tell the country to remain focussed and that he was committed to the struggle of getting the country back on track. He told us he would contribute to the democratisation process but did not tell us how,” Mwiru said.

Meanwhile, the Defence and Internal Affairs committee of Parliament has summoned the minister of Defence, Dr Crispus Kiyonga, to explain whether Sejusa is still considered a serving army officer.

“We want the minister of Defence to appear before our committee and explain the fate of General Sejusa and the continued desertions in the army. Government spends a lot of money while training these soldiers but they end up deserting, without serving the country; so, we want him to tell us whether the ministry has measures to control this,” committee chairperson Benny Namugwanya (NRM) said last week.
