Many consider the circumstances under which two time defeated Presidential Candidate Bobi Wine escaped from Uganda to exile to be potentially treasonous. Yet Pastor Michael Kyazze, one of the big-name men of God in Kampala where he is a veteran Born Again preacher and Church minister, has been crafted into what exactly happened.
This crafting has been done by none other than State Minister Balaam Barugahara (charged with youths and children affairs) who says that Kyazze, who famously embraced the Kyagulanyi political universe a few years ago when he hosted the NUP leader at his Omega Healing Center Church along Entebbe Road, is the man who aided Mr. Wine’s hiding in London for weeks.
In a UBC video recording, which has since gone viral, Balaam is seen saying that Mr. Wine fled Uganda much earlier on than he publicly announced his escape. That the state has since established that Mr. Wine’s first stop was London where he secretly lived with Pastor Michael Kyazze, and that it was from here that his relocation to the US was arranged and facilitated in circumstances into which Kyazze fully participated.
Balaam’s utterances about Kyazze, whose original resentment towards the Museveni government stemmed from the Ugandan state’s lack of appetite to decisively inquire into the Robert Kayanja sodomy allegations, imply that the much-revered man of God could be in some trouble.
It won’t be surprising if criminal investigations of some sort are instigated into Pastor Kyazze’s alleged Kyagulanyi links. Already, this won’t be without precedent given that Masaka’s Catholic Priest Ssekabira was earlier this year locked up and remanded for several weeks after he was accused of complicity in the Kyagulanyi project.
And unlike Ssekabira, Pastor Kyazze won’t have a strong institution, of the Catholic Church magnitude, to speak out and advocate for his release. It took the Masaka Catholic Bishop Serverus Jjumba secretly driving to State House to meet with Gen Museveni for Father Ssekabira to be able to walk to freedom.
He was only released on bail and all this was preceded by that secretive State House meeting whose occurrence was subsequently disclosed to the public by none other than Gen Museveni himself.
