If you thought an elephant could keep anger for long, you
probably knew not that about President Museveni’s Press Secretary Tamale
Mirundi.

| Tamale Mirundi |
When Tamale was managing The
Voice newspaper over ten years ago he failed to pay his workers numbering 17.
Three of them, including his cousin Felix Kyeyune, sued him and the money (Ush
5m each plus legal fees) was paid just as the bus to take Tamale to Luzira
prison waited outside courtroom in Mengo, a Kampala suburb.
Paparanda understands that Tamale took the matter deep into
his heart that every time he meets Kyeyune he provokes a fight. Small-bodied Kyeyune,
who was fighting for his right to be paid, and probably with no chance to ever work
for the President, just has to walk away quietly.
“Some years back I went to State House and I found him
there. He pointed a finger at me telling people around him ‘you see that fool. He
nearly got me imprisoned,” Felix tells me.
The latest encounter was yesterday (March 18, 2014). Felix
went to State House on another business mission and found Tamale there.
“I found him there and he asked me: ‘you mean you are still
on foot [not driving]? I thought you would be driving by now given that your mother
went abroad’,” Felix reports.
Mr. Mirundi is a renowned verbal-fighter but I think this is
punching far below the belt!
