Jinja RDC Ahmed Katerega Musazi has controversially likened the heroic rise of Justin Nameere to the position of influence and power in government, to the circumstances under which Gen Museveni propped up Col Edith Nakalema in the year 2018.
She went on to become the President’s blue-eyed girl, who the big man from Rwakitura weaponized against public officials involved in corruption dealings. The media christened her the President’s anti-corruption Tsar to depict how powerful she had become.
Katerega, a political analyst and veteran journalist of many decades, is now predicting that Nameere is going to be the NRM government’s anti-evil Tsar who the President is going to keep unleashing to sort out difficult situations during the next five years of his new term (2026-2031).
He predicts that the President is going to become more deliberate in investing in the fearless Namere’s training and empowerment to enable her to effectively confront the tasks at hand.
He recalls how Col Edith Nakalema was in around 2018 sent for a military course at the Kenya Defence College as part of the President’s efforts to empower her.
“While addressing us after the anti-corruption walk where the President was the chief walker, he said that he had appointed the Colonel to head the State House Anti-Corruption Unit because, among other qualities, she was a bit quarrelsome. Nakalema has not let us down and now we have two other quarrelsome cadres. Let us join forces.”
Katerega was referencing the complementarity with which Gen Museveni spoke about the new Local Government Minister Balaam Barugahara and his deputy Justice Nameere while respectively describing them as cantankerous and quarrelsome.
The President implied that the two have the great credentials required to effectively push back against corrupt and indifferent civil servants especially in the districts and cities local governments where he has deployed them on purpose.
