MUSEVENI'S DE FACTO VICE PRESIDENT DIES
The Minister of Internal Affairs Gen. Robert Aronda Nyakairima died of heart failure on board a flight from South Korea. This was shortly after learning that the opposition in Uganda had issued an aultmatum to government on the implementation of electoral reforms or face the consequences. Robert Aronda are his names and Nyakairima is his father's name. The family could be one of those early migrants who trace their origin from Rwanda. He was able to effectively conceal the Rwandese connection by as much as possible keeping a reasonable distance from his relatives. However, the cut was almost let out of the bag in an incident where a certain young girl who was staying at his Buganda Road residence mysteriously died and during the funeral Virgil mourners bust into Kinyarwanda church hymns that visibly left mourners confused.
During Museveni's Bush War, Aronda and Kagame ran a parralel spy outfit for Museveni whose task was to spy on members who did not tow Museveni's line or expressed dissent. That is how he escaped ever going for combat during the war. Upon taking over power in 1996, Museveni assigned him to take charge of the Central Police Station (CPS) with a task of disinfecting Kampala and government departments of Any any as/Bipingamizi. Museveni took him through preferential rapid military training opportunities more especially at leading overseas military academies thus gained the prestigious tittle of Past Staff College (PSC). He took charge of Museveni's personal securityDETAIL
right from its inception till his death by overseeing the creation of an ethnic PPU that has since evolved into PGB and now SFG under the command of Museveni's son.
As Army Commander, he helped to transform the Army into Museveni's private security company by identifying loyal party cadres to take charge over strategic command positions.That way, ring fenced strategic military units and placed them under the SFG thus handing over the residue of the army to the command of the army to 'strangers' in the likes of Katumba Wamala, Charles Angina and Wilson Mbadi. Having accomplished that lifeline of the military regime, Museveni moved him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to reinforce Police Chief Gen. kayihura in privatising the Police force. As minster of Internal Affairs, he has been behind the disbanding of the traditional intelligence organisations and creating parralel new ones that Gen. Ssejusa and Amama Mbabazi have no influence over. He had the task of militarising Immigration and Prisons departments, curtailing the operations of NGOs, creation of militia groups, preparation of the voters register through the National ID project, enforcing the politically motivated Public Order and Terrorism laws, and delivering Museveni's 2016 election victory. This is what most misinformed Ugandans mistook for a demotion and sidelining of Gen Around a by Museveni.
Gen. Aronda was Museveni's most trusted Political Assistant for domestic political manoeuvres and Museveni's private diplomatic engagements. He recruited many regime officials (Ministers, RDCs, diplomats, army and security officers, Presidential Advisors, heads of government parastatals, etc). He would recommend their appointment, promotion, demotion, dismissal, and transfer etc. His special diplomatic role helped diffuse the Museveni/Kagame tension and he remained Rwanda's Special Ambassador to Uganda. The special message of condolence from President Kenyatta following Aronda's deathCONFIRMS this. He had sometime back delivered Museveni's special message to Kenyatta but Ugandans have never bothered to ask why Aronda of all others!! Its not by coincidence that Museveni is currently on official visit to Sudan and it is said that from Dubai Aronda had intended to connect to Sudan. To many opposition opportunists and fortune seekers, striking a deal with Aronda was as good as doing it with Museveni himself. That is why you see the likes of Norbert Mao and Kasirye Gwanga yelling uncontrollably over his death. Thousands of those who benefited from his patronage like Minister Vincent Ssempijja are mourning in silence.
Gen. Aronda may have died from natural causes. He did not take alcohol and did not smoke. He was a member of an international association of Christian Army Officers. It is also more likely that throughout his life he had
Sex with only his wife Linda ( daughter of Kahooza - the former Auditor General). Even with his wife, he must have been following a set timetable for having sex. Even his decision to get married in mid 1990s followed protracted battles with his father who would camp for weeks in Kampala over the same since the son was reluctant to do so. He spent every minute of his militaryCAREERpreoccupied with scheming for Museveni's hold on power. He had no weekends, no leave or holiday and would leave office at midnight. He ran more than three offices at ago - he had offices in the President's Office at Parliamentary building, State House, International Conference Center, Army headquarters, different Safe Houses for intelligence coordination more especially in areas of Kololo etc. Like his mentor Museveni, Aronda was fond of meetings where he would give long lectures about his views using a blackboard and for fear no one would dare to differ from his preconcieved views. He was good at flattering, belittling, demeaning, derogating and making fun of others.
He had no personal friends and despised any form of off duty social engagements. After keeping distance from his relatives, before he got married his former residences at both Buganda Road (now housing UHRC offices) and Minister's Village in Ntinda he preferred to stay with only a maid and his military guards with no room for frequent visitors. Its only Princes Bagaya who was his neighbour in Ntinda that attempted to farmiliarise with him at the later's discomfort. Its only when he was courting his wife that they would meet at Athina Club. His main food was tea, biscuits and fruits and despised people who prioritised eating thus would engage his surbodinates in long meetings without lunch breaks and would travel long journeys without ever stopping for atleast hisDRIVER and body guards to eat something. The guards at his residence had to fend for themselves and he always kept a distance from their welfare such that no guard ever wished to be deployed at his residence or to escort him during long journeys. Throughout his 29 years of military service, he had unlimited access to state resources from any government department - a factor that helped him to accomplish all his assignments. That way, for the last 29 years he never dipped his fingers into his pocket to pay for anything personal using his personal money. Even some of his relatives and farm workers would sign for money from his classfied office security budget under cover of being informers. No wonder, he was one of the top little known rich people and a leading land grabber in the country. As a former ardent communist/Marxist, he initially pretended not to love soft life that goes with accumulation of wealth. To hoodwink his comrades he would send his medical aides to pick for him simple tablets worth a thousand times lesser than the fuel used to go to the military hospital for the same. The same guy would refuse to go to office if a Pick Up car would be sent to take him in prefference for a posh car. He would chase away the driver of the Pick-Up with a message: "I dont deal in fish so as to use a Pick-Up".
For Museveni, Gen. Aronda was another First Son. This made Aronda to believe that Museveni was grooming him to take over the Presidency. Aronda hated seeing any other Officer attracting the attention of Museveni. Through malicious reports to Museveni, he undermined the careers of several including Mayombo, Tumukunde, Muhweezi, Ssejusa and others but he hit a snag when it came to Muhoozi (the first son). He had also had trouble with the First Lady after he had taken charge of managing Museveni's extra marital affairs with a former State House maid who hails from his home village and has since become the 2nd Lady. Otherwise, until his death Gen. Aronda remained Museveni's de facto Vice President, Army Chief, Security Minister, Coordinator of Intelligence Services, National Political Commissar, Principal Political Assistant to the President, head of Museveni's securityDETAIL, among other assignments. Therefore, Gen Aronda was an asset to the regime and if there was any foul play in his death, it can't be linked to Museveni personally. God the Almighty may have simply wanted to punish Museveni by taking away the center pillar of his military regime. It is most likely that Museveni has never shed tears for the dead but for Aronda he has had to. We await to see who of the remaining top regime cadre Generals I.e Kale Kayihura, Tumukunde, Tumwine, and Mugira will be appointed to the Internal Affairs Ministry.
Gen. Aronda was behind much of Museveni's misdeeds but as a master of deceit, he portrayed himself in the public eye as a saint. That is how he managed to beat off public scrutiny and blame over Police excesses when his invisible hand was behind the Police Chief. He was to the current military regime what Luwuliza Kirunda or Rwakasisi were to the UPC II regime. Otherwise, he was a stooge, syncomphant, sectarian, rude, selfish, malicious, envious, jealous, hypocritical,LONER, silent burner, double edged sword, deadly, schemer, harsh, uncompassionate, pretender and someone who had no respect for anyone else other than Museveni, Saleh and Kaziini - the only people he ever called
