What is behind the tensions in the ruling Bahiima clan?

Tensions between Bahima factions plague Museveni regime are reported to be high and they are rising every day.

There are two main centers of power in the NRM regime. These are the Bahiima of the Basiita clan who are the real rulers of Ankole. Janet Museveni is one of them. Then you have the Bahiima who are Bahororo from Rukungiri.

These are the Bahiima who are General Aronda Nyakirima, Major General Jim Muhwezi, and people like Brigadier Henry Tumukunde.

The Bahiima who dominate Museveni's security in the Presidential Guard Brigade were mainly brought into the PGB by Janet and her aides, but the people who dominate the most sensitive part of intelligence are those from Rukungiri, the Bahororo. These were recruited by Muhwezi and Tumukunde when they were bosses of the dreaded Internal Security Organisation.

Radio Katwe would like those who know the tensions between these two groups to write in and send more information on this developing story.

Where is the power these days, among the Basiita Bahiima or the Bahororo? Is this the reason why Muhwezi and Tumukunde are being persecuted by Museveni?

We want to know.
