Security is zeroing on intelligence that Rwanda has been funding Kampala’s self-proclaimed pastor Joseph Kabuleta to launch cyber-attacks against president Museveni and other members of the first family.
According to intelligence information, the funding was through Rwanda’s Gen James Kabarebe who is reportedly in charge of Ugandan desk which is charged with destabilizing Uganda.
This followed after Kabuleta appearance on 17th March 2019 NTV’s Fourth Estate programme where he gave an excellent performance on the issues surrounding the tensions between Rwanda and Uganda.
This interview was watched by Gen James Kabarebe who immediately established contact with Kabuleta through a known link between Rwanda and Ugandan media.
“Kabuleta who is well known to love money and his love of finer things in life was offered a new project. The project was to use his good command of English and good oratory and writing skills to mobilize Ugandans against President and his family. The project was to only focus on the first family.” A source says.
He adds “Kabuleta happily accepted the challenge and his budgetary requirements of an initial payment of 200,000 USA dollars was paid at Speke Apartments on 07th May 19 where he occasionally accompany his master “Prophet” Elvis Mbonye for a work out and meeting several contacts.
“We got a tip off and started surveillance operations on Mbonye’s church and Kabuleta and we have indeed discovered a lot of information in this regard”.
It’s now clear that Rwanda’s Directorate of Military intelligence has prioritized attacks on president Museveni’s family after starting with Gen Salim Saleh, Gen Muhoozi, Odrek Rwabwogo and First lady.
“Next will be Karugire, Natasha, Kamuntu, Pastor Patience and others. These unprecedented and relentless smear campaigns are sponsored by DMI at the direct instruction from President Paul Kagame”. Said source knowledge with Rwanda’s intelligence operations.
In Rwanda, last year – 2018, the president’s office with the help of DMI built a social media team which created hundreds of pseudo name accounts.
The operation mandate of this team is specifically attack, smear, malign and slander Uganda leadership especially the first family.
Some of these accounts pose as Uganda opposition leaning accounts, yet they are being run from Rwanda Development Board building in Kigali.
Some of these accounts include,
