Dear President Yoweri Museveni. I am most certain you are aware that Paul Kagame’s government and a section of East African social media have been circulating a fake story aimed at causing havoc in your family and country. The bearers of the concocted story maliciously claim that your younger brother, General (Rtd) Caleb Akandwanaho, acquired 15% in Leaf Tobacco and Commodities (U) Ltd (LTCU).
Shamelessly armed with forged documents, the Rwanda government and some media outlets further allege that in exchange for 15% shares given to him, your brother Akandwanaho has undertaken to provide security for LTCU’s operations in Uganda. Mr President, that is not the worst part of the dubious stories. This is how the East African of October 14–20, 2017 described the Kagame government’s use of the bogus story that is clearly based on forged documents:
“There have been two closed door meetings over the past two months of government officials and the ruling party…General Kabarebe said at the meeting that Rwanda was concerned by Uganda’s continued offering of its space to Rwandan enemies…Among them is the decision to allow exiled Rwandan tycoon Tribert Rujugiro to operate in Uganda and work closely with government officials.” FULL STORY
