Nairobi — Over the past few weeks, the army has been boasting about having bust up an "impending rebellion" in northern Uganda.
At least 11 suspects were recently charged with treason and remanded in Luzira Prison after the army landed on the group's cache of military equipment.
But last week, the army blew it all. It came out to stake a more serious claim that it is in possession of a dossier that implicates top politicians in northern Uganda.
For sometime, this document had been in the possession of Gulu District Chairman Norbert Mao, one of those it implicates.
The document makes a case for this rebel group in the offing, and details its Cabinet structure once the group captures power.
Sadly, the so-called dossier that the army is dangling in our faces is a harmless piece of paper that has been all over the Internet for sometime now.
Serving Ugandans a sustained cocktail of bungled security jobs makes the army look ridiculous.
