{UAH} Gen Sejusa hits back to Ofwono Opondo

Gen David Sejusa has attacked government spokesperson; Ofwono Opondo over the latter's comments that the former Coordinator of Intelligence organs had resorted to liquor during his exile in London.

Sejusa told Chimpreports in an exclusive interview at his home in Sembabule that, "I am telling you, I do not drink."

He added: "A person who has the goal of becoming a president? I can never drink alcohol."

For Sejusa to contest for the president, he has to first be retired from the army. The army has since declared Sejusa a deserter and threatened to charge

Sejusa returned from exile last Sunday before being driven from Entebbe International Airport to Sembabule under the escort of military police.

His return marked 20 months in self-imposed exile in London.

Opondo was later quoted in the media as saying government facilitated Sejusa's return trip with an air travel ticket. He reportedly added that Sejusa was frail and needed support which government would provide.

However, Sejusa denied the claims, asserting Opondo "has always been seeking to make a name for himself and this will never work;" adding, "I am really disappointed with his remarks – I didn't expect him to tarnish my name."

He further denied reports that he was on a mission to spy on Museveni's enemies in the Diaspora.

"As of now I have no job. You journalists should work professionally instead of telling people that I signed a deal with Museveni to go abroad and spy for him, allegations which are not true," he added.

Dozens of locals, who included friends and relatives, trekked long distances to meet Sejusa at his plush country home.

He encouraged farmers, herdsmen; his casual workers and relatives to work together for the good of the family and that he was back to stay.

He later threw a party for all his visitors. They enjoyed roasted meat and plenty of drinks.

Turning to the youth, Sejusa said they should remain focused and "vote issues."

He added: "We fought because we wanted a good future for our country. I am at my home and expect nothing to happen to me except when God decides. I however advise the government not to always hate those who assist their poor even going as far as turning them into enemies."

The NRA war combatant said this is not good for the development of Uganda.

He promised to address a press conference about his future plans.

Sejusa amused Chimp Corps when he said he did not miss a single day without opening the website to read latest news.

"Every morning, I would open Chimpreports.com for information about Uganda and the region. You people are doing a good job," he added.
