One of General Museveni's blue-eyed boys from the newly created Mulanda District in Bukedi Sub-region has struck a good deal with another blue eyed boy of the president from Soroti City.
The deal is that the Honourable Minister of Defense, Jacob Oboth Oboth has stepped aside for Flight Captain Dr. Mike Mukula in the race for the powerful position of NRM Chairman for Eastern Uganda.
Honourable Oboth Oboth had hoped to kill three edible birds with one stone(Mp Budama Central, Minister of Defence and Chairman NRM ( #EasternRegion )....
Flt. Capt. Hon. Mukulaa, a discreet cadre and a very articulate defender of the mighty revolutionary NRM party is seeking re-election to the regional office. But for quite some time, the captain developed some uneasiness after the powerful Minister of defence, an equally well exposed cadre threatened to invade the Captain's territory in pursuit of the Captain's yellow chair.
However, Captains do not die easily. just as Hon.Oboth Oboth was about to invade Mukula's territory the king makers in Kampala including the gallant son of Kaguta intervened.
The king makers discovered that another Kwara Adhola subject from Mulanda called Ofwono Opondo had also picked interest in occupying another Eastern Uganda chair(Mp Older Persons)
In the NRM democratic practice, it's illegal for two members of the party hailing from the same sub-county or Constituency to enjoy two juicy national level positions at the expense of other party members from other corners of the country.
That explains why the king makers decided to advise Jadwong Oboth Oboth tounconditionally drop one of his two pursuits. He shook hands with captain Mukula, and the captain responded with a wide smile.
Meanwhile, candidate Ofwono Opondo has had a very busy week knocking on the doors of the aged men and women in Eastern Uganda who are eager to push him to parliament to lobby for their old-age benefits like free medication, housing, adult education and at least 500,000/= as monthly upkeep money per elder.
