I find it utterly unfathomable how easily some people resort to falsehoods. The Ministry of Works and Transport was involved in this project from the very beginning. At the time, the Ministry was headed by Gen. Katumba Wamala, for God's sake. The very first meeting was chaired by the late Gen. Elly Tumwine. Present in that meeting were some of the most senior figures in Uganda's security establishment at the time, while we attended as the designated technical officers. In one of the first meetings Gen. Elly Tumwine was irritated by the continuous interruptions by Mr. Katushabe, who would give unrequested advice. During a tea break, he cautioned him and he took it personally and in fact stopped attending those meetings. He would delegate Junior officers to attend the meetings. Also present was an elderly gentleman, Dr. Mwanje, a highly respected professional with a PhD in Physics. Hon. Mpaka (@hon_mpaka) and his Committee can easily verify these facts by speaking to him through the Ministry of Defence (they know him, I do not know him that much), where he served for approximately 30 years. Dr. Mwanje was not a peripheral participant; he was the first Chairman of the Project Management Team (PMT), appointed by the President himself and had undertaken substantial work for the Ministry of Defence over the course of his distinguished career. He resigned from that position in a face to face meeting with the President because, in his own assessment, the professional advice he was providing was simply being ignored.. That is why attempts to rewrite the history of this project are not only misleading but deeply troubling. Too many people who were present from the inception know exactly what transpired, who attended the meetings, who chaired them, what advice was given, and why some of the key technical figures eventually walked away (I was never a member but I know a few who were). The facts are known. Especially by Dr. Mwanje. The challenge is not the absence of evidence; it is the willingness of some individuals to disregard it.
