We cannot ‘talk in whispers’ about poison anymore

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.

Museveni said he consulted his personal doctor, Diana Atwine who told him Lwanga s condition could have been managed better. Because really, although you’re saying God has called us and all that, really I want our people of value to stay here as long as possible. So his doctors, apparently, they were managing him for a long time, they should explain at some stage that condition because I asked my young doctor, Atwine that condition, how do you detect it? There is what they call the ECG [electrocardiogram machine] where the machines detect the electrical activities of the heart. But apparently, it may not see well the other one where the fats along the vessels. That there is another test called eco-something something that that is the one that can do that.
