President Museveni ‘s adviser on media Joseph Tamale Mirundi has said that he will never forgive ‘the boys’ (Mwenda, Tumwebaze, Kabushenga, Nalweyiso, Nakalema) who humiliated him in front of president Museveni and led to his firing as the president’s press secretary in 2015.
While appearing on a local TV station over the weekend, a highly charged Mirundi said, “I will never forgive those boys. Even if the Pope initiates our peace talks, I cannot forgive then.”
Mirundi who equated the boys to the devil added, “I cannot forgive them because even God did not forgive Satan.” Tamale said that he is retiring from his position as the president’s adviser on media in September said that he will survive without the state house job.
“They thought that if I leave State House I will die of poverty, shame upon them, Mirundi is a rich man. And I have not stolen from anyone like some of them. I was going to hit Tumwebaze with a hummer at NBS TV offices, he had to hide in the toilet. I tell you I will never forgive those boys for what they did to me.
Even if you call me for dinner at State House and I see those boys, I can gather all the plates and smash them on their heads. I cannot work with those boys because they humiliated me. Even when we die and I meet them in heaven, we shall fight from there in front of God,” Mirundi said.
WHY MIRUNDI HATES ‘THE BOYS’?
Tamale Mirundi, who previously described himself as “the President’s barking dog” pins Andrew Mwenda Tumwebaze (Independent Magazine boss), Frank Tumwebaze (Minister of Information Technology and Communications), Robert Kabushenga (New Vision CEO), Brig Proscovia Nalweyiso, Maj Edith Nakalema (President’s private secretary) and Lucy Nakyobe (State House comptroller), for doctoring a recording that they gave to president Museveni, which led to his knifing as his press secretary.
In the audio recordings, which were played in the presence of the president and Mirundi, the tough talking Mirundi was allegedly heard insulting his boss and applauding former Premier Mr. Amama Mbabazi.
A bitter Mirundi later told the media that the recordings were doctored, since then, he has appeared on different radio and TV stations calling those who gave the tapes to the president fools and swearing never to forgive them.
After the incident, Mirundi was fired as the president’s press secretary and appointed the president’s adviser on media.
