We cannot ‘talk in whispers’ about poison anymore
April 13, 2021 Written by Yusuf Serunkuma
There is a viral video which once in a while appears on social media with General David Sejusa talking about the fear of poisoning inside the top echelons of government.
This clip was shot during a 2015 session where Gen Sejusa was meeting members of Uganda People’s Congress to discuss trust in the Electoral Commission. The former coordinator of intelligence tells the country about the deep levels of mistrust among members of cabinet – over things such as food and drink.
He unflinchingly said that when they go for cabinet meetings, they carry their own snacks, that is, chapattis and samosas in their jackets.
Archbishop Lwanga was gripped by fear of death, poison, spies
April 7, 2021 RIP: Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga
In death, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga has become the subject of fresh and contentious speculation spurred largely by his sudden passing.
At 9 o’clock on Saturday, April 3, Dr Cyprian Kizito Lwanga was found dead in his residence near Lubaga cathedral. He has been archbishop of Kampala archdiocese since September 2006.
His death was particularly shocking to the nation because a day before, he publicly took part in the ecumenical way of the cross; a mimic of the journey Jesus Christ took before he was crucified on the cross. Many Ugandans are quietly finding it hard to believe that Lwanga died innocuously in his sleep without an ominous incident.
Why country is suspicious Archbishop Lwanga “did not simply die”

Yes, death is natural. We don’t question it when it strikes. Indeed, as Muslims, to cite what I know best, Allah tells us, “Every soul will taste death. Then to Us will you be returned.” We believe this to be true and final.
But scripture goes further and tasks the living to take stock and offer accountability over the cause of death of the departed. Lest it happens again and take more lives. Wasn’t this the entire point of the Covid-19 lockdowns and monies: to make sure no life was lost without accountability?
