After all this, he will take up his new role as press secretary, a position formerly held by Don Wanyama until 2021 when he became Chief Executive Officer of the Vision Group and was replaced by Nabusayi.

Tamale Mirundi was senior Press Secretary for 13 years

Meanwhile, another formidable person to hold the position was the prominent Tamale Mirundi. 

In 2015, Mr Mirundi was sacked from his position as senior press secretary to President Museveni after 13 years of service.

Speaking in 2015 days after, Tamale Mirundi blamed his sacking on former premier Amama Mbabazi. He said he had an invisible role in influencing decision-makers.

“You can join Mbabazi without knowing you have joined him. In fact, people are now calling me to say Museveni supports Mbabazi because he sacks those who are combative against Mbabazi,” Mirundi said then.

“You people don’t know how Mbabazi works. He has people in intelligence and even State House. He can fight you without you seeing him. Ever since I began attacking him, my problems have increased. The happiest people with my sacking are the Mbabazi group and the Opposition because I have been a headache to them,” he added.
