GASHUMBA ATTACKS KATIKKIRO MAYIGA

After president appointing his cabinet, Gashumber has not been settled attacking a few ministers the president hard selected, today he has changed his guns to the katikkiro of buganda saying;
The moment Kabaka appointed Mayiga as Katikkiro of Buganda, this was the beginning of the down fall of Buganda politically , yes we blame these ladies but actually this deal was sealed by Mayiga, Museveni knows that Baganda are very obidient to their cultural institution that is why he hired him.He tried Lukwago Erias and failed and you can see now he moves hand in hand with Jennifer Musisi.
He recently traveled to Hague straight to I.C.C to see what Adam Buyinza Adam Luzindana had talked with ICC officials, remember Adam had just been there with in four days. He tried to ask Justice Julia Sebutinde, i don’t know wheather Mayiga got what he wanted.
This whole tofaali drive is political, it’s diversonary… the entire Buganda Kingdom is now focused on a Mayega’s Tofaali project. I remember Mayiga every Friday he would attack M7 like hell it’s no more. No more demanding of FEDERO. In the entire history of Buganda Kingdom no Katikiro has ever had a platon of sodiers guarding him like Mayega, he even has Lead pick up full of sodiers! Ohhhhhh my God!

  A Tanzanian made two seater chopper is in its final stages of production

A Tanzanian made two seater chopper is in its final stages of production and will start flying trials once it granted permission by the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority. However, mass production will be by 2018.

“The Tanzania-made helicopters will fly before 2020 and specifically 2018, which is two years from now,” said Engineer Mjema.
A powder-coated steel-tube structure gives the R22 a rigid yet lightweight airframe, while the aerodynamic fuselage optimizes airspeed and fuel economy. With a twobladed rotor system, the R22 requires only one-third the hangar space of a multi-bladed helicopter

Uganda: Museveni Gives Wife Key Position in Cabinet

Ugandan's Museveni Sworn In For Sixth Term As President

Weeks after promoting his son to major-general, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has handed his wife a lucrative post in his new cabinet.

The 71-year-old leader, who was re-elected for a fifth consecutive term in controversial circumstances in February, announced the makeup of his cabinet of ministers on Monday. Most of his main ministers—including the prime minister and ministers of energy and finance—kept their jobs, but there was a significant promotion for Janet Museveni. The First Lady had until recently been Minister for Karamoja Affairs, a sub-region in northeast Uganda. She has now been promoted to the post of education and sports minister, a coveted role that commands a large chunk of Uganda’s annual budget.
Janet Museveni, who is also the MP for Ruhaama county in southwest Uganda, was married to Museveni in 1973 and has four children with the long-serving leader, who came to power in 1986 after a military coup. The first of these children, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, was recently promoted to the rank of Major-General in the Ugandan military. Muhoozi, who trained at military academies including the top British military school, Sandhurst, has been in the army since 1999 and enjoyed a rapid ascent through its ranks. The Ugandan military dismissed claims that he had received favorable treatment from his father, stating that Muhoozi had undertaken the requisite training and had enough experience to undertake the role.http://oneuganda.blogspo.com
