The ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs is not aware of President Yoweri Museveni\u2019s alleged assignment of his son and advisor on special security operations, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, to clean the institution of all corruption tendencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gen Kainerugaba twitted on Tuesday that Museveni, the commander in chief of armed forces, has tasked him to clean up the ministry of Defence and vowed that his first tasks will be redeeming help to all war veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe President and Commander-In-Chief has given me the task to clean up the Ministry of Defence. MoD will be saved from all the corruption that has been going on for decades,\u201d Gen Kainerugaba said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But MoD and Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces \u2013UPDF Spokesperson, Brig Gen Felix Kulayigye, has said as the ministry they are not aware of such assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u201cHe has been assigned by the President?”\u00a0Brig Gen Kulayigye wondered.\u00a0“According to who? I am not aware. I have not seen that appointment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although UPDF and the defence ministry might not be ware of Gen Kainerugaba\u2019s assignment, he has gone ahead to explain that the corruption at the ministry has left many ex-solders suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without any help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs one of my first steps in redeeming MoD, I will insist on a program to help our war veterans, 90% of them suffer from PTSD,\u201d Gen Kainerugaba said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0PTSD is a mental health which where is triggered by terrifying events someone has been to (experienced) or witnessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the case of militants or persons who have grown up in war torn areas, they have relapses like flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety that are in most cases unavoidable thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0 Gen Kainerugaba until a couple of months back, was the commander of UPDF Land Forces. He was replaced by Lt Gen Kayanja Muhanga who was at the time commanding Shuja operations against ADF rebels in DRC.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni reverted Gen Kainerugaba to his previous appointment of Presidential Advisor on Special Security Operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
