Lt. Col Edith Nakalema NO.15. UGANDA’S TOP 500 DESPOTS LT. COL EDITH NAKALEMA ‘THE PROTECTOR OF THE CORRUPT’ Born in: 1978 Place of Birth: Kashaari, Mbarara District Uganda. Father: Eiyasafu Sserwadda an Anglican priest. Mother: Midrace Sserwadda Mobile Contact: +256 772 634 743 Origin Eiyasafu Ndagizimana a Hutu, came to Uganda as an Anglican priest from Bujumbura in 1973 and settled in Mbarara Church Diocese. In Mbarara he met with Midrace Nambatya who was a shop attendant in Mbarara town. They bought land in Kashaari and set up a house and the couple got married in 1976. Midrace Nambatya renamed her husband Sserwadda and when they gave birth to their first born, she was named Edith Nakalema. In 1980, they gave birth to their second born whom they named Doreen Mbabazi currently the Deputy RDC Mbarara District. She struggled through the levels of education under Church of Uganda sponsorship as an orphan until university where she dropped-out in year one and forged a degree in 1999. She used this degree to join military training and later service. Nakalema holds a degree first claimed to be from Makerere University, later Nkumba University and finally Kampala International University. The deeper truth reveals that Nakalema dropped out of University in the first year at Nkumba University and forged degrees from all the above- mentioned University one of which she used to join military in 1999. Nakalema joined the military in 1999 and later joined active service in 2000. She joined the Presidential Guard Brigade (SFC) where she worked in the department of finance. She was very close to Muhoozi Kainerugaba where they both established an Accountability System at the SFC. Later Muhoozi recommended her to State House to work as the Principal Private Secretary to Museveni. In 2016 after coordinating the anti-Go-Forward campaign at state house together with Muhoozi, Nalweyiso and Molly Kamukama; Nakalema was elevated to the post of Personal Assistant to Museveni while Kamukama took her former position of PPS. Nakalema immediately started taking Charge of Museveni’s daily itinerary. This made her extremely powerful. In 2017, after a series of in-house conflicts resulting from public outcry involving money misuse and theft of presidential donations, she was suspended and waited to go for a course at Joint Services Command and Staff College (higher Command and Staff Course) on state house sponsorship to allow room for investigation. And also joined King’s College London where she got a master’s degree in Law. THE PEOPLE’S AGENCY – T.P.A ‘To Protect the Weak and Defend the Oppressed’ NO.15. UGANDA’S TOP 500 DESPOTS THE GENESIS OF HER TERMINATION In March 2015 when John Patrick Amama Mbabazi expressed his bid for presidency, Museveni and his publically recognized wife, Janet Kataha set up teams to coordinate anti Go-Forward camps. One at State House was led by Proscovia Nalweyiso deputized by Edith Nakalema. The other at UPDF Headquarters led by Molly Kamukama, and the last one coordinated under the first lady’s office headed by Molly Asiimwe with offices in Bugolobi. Nakalema and Nalweyiso used Ugx200m daily, Kamukama usedUgx50m daily while Asiimwe used Ugx 5m to 10m daily with most of the big payouts done by the first lady herself. Through a group dubbed Team Thorough YKM coordinated by Molly Asiimwe, they finished the entire campaign with a gross budget of about Ugx300m, while Kamukama completed the campaign having spent Ugx8.5bn and Nalweyiso with Nakalema spent Ugx28bn. After defeating Amama Mbabazi, in mid-2016, Museveni ordered for an internal audit report. The results showed that Molly Asiimwe destroyed Amama Mbabazi by 85% using Ugx300m, Molly Kamukama contributed 10% using Ugx8.5bn and Nalweyiso with Nakalema contributed 5% using Ugx28bn. This angered Museveni that the three women stole the money and called them to explain how the money was spent. Kamukama was exonerated after she revealed that her budget involved catering for wives of soldiers who were campaigning in the villages in the countryside. Museveni was convinced. Nalweyiso was exonerated after she explained to Museveni that she handed over the task to Nakalema when she was summoned to join the campaign trail with the candidate who had started campaigns in Eastern, Busoga and Buganda. This paved way for Nakalema to take full charge of the project and fed her greed to the fullest. Nakalema therefore picked a fight with Molly Asiimwe whom she promised to kill blaming her for being a naïve a villager who can never get rich therefore failing their progress too by exposing them. The tension between the two worsened after Museveni suggested that Molly Asiimwe would make him a good PPS a job Molly Kamukama too was eyeing. Janet Kataha intervened and immediately demanded that Museveni sacks Nakalema. Janet used her intelligence agents to investigate Edith Nakalema and came out with a report reveling that:- 1. Nakalema had acquired a house in Watchfield, UK worth US$360,000. 2. Nakalema had bought apartments in Bunga along Kalungu road at the cost of US$1.8m. 3. Nakalema had bought 374 acreas of land on Lake Wamala in Mityana worthy Ugx 5.6bn. The report was handed over to Museveni who tasked his intelligence to verify. After verification, Museveni was amazed and he immediately suspended the duties of Edith Nakalema. THE PEOPLE’S AGENCY – T.P.A ‘To Protect the Weak and Defend the Oppressed’ NO.15. UGANDA’S TOP 500 DESPOTS Nakalema rushed to Muhoozi, later Salim Saleh both who advised her to apologize to Janet Kataha and then make peace with Molly Asiimwe whom Janet Kataha had elevated to be her Executive Secretary. After she apologized and made peace with Molly Asiimwe and for the fact that she knew a lot about Museveni due to the positions she served in state house, Museveni could not let her starve on streets because of her previous service for several years, Kagame also wanted her service using Kayihura. Nakalema was therefore sent to United Kingdom for a course and later deployed as the Head of State House Anti-Corruption and Monitoring Unit. THE DARK SIDE OF LT COL EDITH NAKALEMA CORRUPTION After winning the fight to eject Amelia Kyambande from the office of PPS in State House, she started the project of renting Museveni. No one meets Museveni without paying a fee to Nakalema and her team. This is exactly what Molly Kamukama succeeded. During the days, Nakalema asked for Ugx 5m to Ugx 100m to see Museveni. Today, it is US$5,000 to $100,000 hence the death of many foreigners in hotels who after paying the money are blocked from meeting Museveni. Such foreigners are killed to avoid trouble to Nakalema and her team since there is no refund if meetings don’t happen as anticipated. In 2013, Gen Kale Kayihura the IGP put her on the pay roll of UGX15m per month to become his eyes and ears on ground at State House. This is exactly what Molly Kamukama took up. On several occasions, Nakalema received direct calls from Paul Kagame but it is alleged that she always reported to Museveni unless when the message came through Kayihura. She knew that SFC at State House records most of the voice calls within the vicinity. Nakalema is reported to have been at the frontline of rejecting the late AIGP from meeting Museveni on orders of Kayihura. It is also said that Nakalema leaked the dismissal letter to the media, which Museveni had authored to stop Kale Kayihura as IGP at the beginning of 2017. It is confirmed that after the rise of People Power, which is mainly made of youth who are agitating for the end of corruption a mandate of the office of the Inspector General of Government, Sam Kuteesa, Odrek Rwabwogo and Salim Saleh came up with a strategy to weaken the IGG’s office. So they created a rival faction in State House headed by terminally corrupt Edith Nakalema to protect corruption crimes of this mafia gang. African and the world know that the most corrupt Ugandans are Sam Kutesa, his son Odrek Rwabwogo, Salim Saleh, Frank Tumwebaze, David Bahati, Muhoozi Kainerugaba and Janet Kataha Museveni not forgetting her husband Museveni: The Father of corruption. Who is Edith Nakalema fighting or protecting? Is it Ugandans or the mafias? The most laughable move Museveni has done in the recent past is to crown Lt Col Edith Nakalema the head of State House Anti-Corruption Unit. All Ugandans and Investors know that Nalweyiso and Nakalema rent Museveni and earn billions weekly from either bribes from investors or from THE PEOPLE’S AGENCY – T.P.A ‘To Protect the Weak and Defend the Oppressed’ NO.15. UGANDA’S TOP 500 DESPOTS presidential pledges and donations or from efforts by Ugandans to meet Museveni. Ugandans are aware that Nalweyiso is Museveni’s briefcase and all she knows is the language of stealing, bribing and commissioning. This makes these two iron women the faces of state house corruption. TODDLER MURDERED BY COL. EDITH. NAKALEMA AND GEN. NALWEYISO TO EVADE MEDICAL BILLS. At the beginning of June this year, Mugisha, SFC serving soldier under the Presidential Guard Brigade - PGB, from Ntungamo wakes up to the death of his child caused by corruption in State House. In 2017, Mugisha, who used to drive the Follow / Escort Car in Museveni Convoy, got his new born with a sick heart whom Museveni vowed to treat. After acquiring documentation from Mulago Hospital, the child was taken to India for treatment. As usual, everyone knows that Maj Gen Nalweyiso is the moneybag to such projects.

    Hindawi Journal of Environmental and Public Health Volume 2020, Article ID 4754780, 10 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/4754780 Research Article Corruption and Solid Waste Management in Mbarara Municipality, Uganda Pius Gumisiriza and Sylvester Kugonza School of Civil Service, Public Administration and Governance, Uganda Management Institute, P.O. Box 20131, Kampala, Uganda Correspondence should be addressed to Pius Gumisiriza; [email protected] Received 14 June 2019; Revised 9 November 2019; Accepted 23 January 2020; Published 29 June 2020 Academic Editor: Stefano Capolongo Copyright © 2020 Pius Gumisiriza and Sylvester Kugonza. +is is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Mbarara Municipality in Western Uganda has for many years struggled to manage municipal solid waste. Leaders in this municipality have mainly attributed this persistent problem to poor financing, failure to enforce existing solid waste management laws and regulations, limited community participation, deprived attitude by the public towards waste collection, and tendency of municipal dwellers to litter. No in-depth academic study in Mbarara Municipality has ever been done to expose and illustrate how corruption directly happens and influence solid waste management. +is study fills this knowledge gap by illustrating how corruption influences poor solid waste management in Mbarara Municipality. +e study finds that municipal technical officials, garbage truck drivers, their turn boys, garbage sorters, factory owners, and private land grabbers all involved in different forms of corruption have directly and indirectly turned solid waste collection and disposal into a very costly problem to the municipal council and the general public.
