Major General Kahinda Otafiire is someone who can do whatever, be lazy or even sleep in Parliament. He can do whatever he wants and will face no consequences whatsoever. The detractors and dissidents can say he should “resign” or even “retire”. However, he never will and as long as the President appoints him. He will show up and do his bidding as he pleases.
Otafiire is the RO/00014 of the National Resistance Army (NRA) and because of that. Museveni will keep him close and his a comrade of the struggle. These has been through the bush-years and been a loyal cadre ever since.
We know the President trusts him and have his hack. Otafiire can do anything, and it isn’t endangering him. This is why the scrutiny and criticism of his (in)action or implementation of his office is redundant. The only thing he will face… is moving Ministry and still be in the inner circle.
The ones in the MK Movement who aims for his head is just hurting itself. The ones asking for his end is just not grasping his role. Maj. Gen. Otafiire and Gen. Moses Ali are people who are there and for a reason. Museveni will know this real, and the agreements made, but we just know they have automatic office prepared for them. These two don’t have to worry about their future or their past. It is all covered and that’s because Museveni have them within his midst.
The fellows of the son and the supposed “standby generator” should know better. The inner circle will not sway by this and if he would fall. Otafiire would have been outcasted after the General Election of 2016, as he couldn’t even win the primary and get re-elected as a Member of Parliament (MP). He had been so since 1996 and suddenly he was out of the August House. However, regardless of that…
Otafiire returned as Minister and still so to this day. I’m not defending Otafiire, because he doesn’t need it. Neither is he deserving it either. No, his a man of power as a token of his years of loyalty. Museveni appreciate that and honors that. This is why his still in office and has a fancy title. Several other NRA historicals would have the same if they were still breathing or hadn’t defied him. Therefore, the Major General will be there until further notice.
The MK Movement and its leader can ask for Otafiire head, but they won’t get it. These people will easily be taken out and suddenly lose relevance. They are useful for Muhoozi now, but when the buck stops. The ones who stood by the side of Muhoozi will be cast aside. While Otafiire still have a bond and a connection to his father that no one can destroy. The one that can destroy that is either Otafiire himself or the President, but we know that will not happen.
No matter what happens, Otafiire will be around. Just like Ssekandi or Moses Ali. We just know that… and the ones thinking otherwise is naïve. Peace.
