A few years in cabinet as a junior minister, Godfrey Kabbyanga Baluku, has sworn to die for President Yoweri Museveni, Uganda’s long serving leader who appointed him to the post some time after he had released his cabinet list.
Museveni was in Kasese for the thanksgiving ceremony hosted by Kabbyanga and Gen Mbasu Mbadu, also a junior minister, who until March 2024 was the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF), a position from which he was fired and replaced with first son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
During the thanksgiving ceremony, Kabbyanga, the state minister for ICT and National Guidance, used his time to reiterate his allegiance to President Museveni, telling him how grateful he was that the fountain of honour had found it worthy to appoint him a minister.
Kabbyanga reminded President Museveni how he had called him at 5am and, addressing him as “my son” asked him where he was at the moment.
With Kabbyanga telling the president he was in Moroto, the president would tell the former Kasese Municipality Mayor that he would appoint him minister that very day.
He further narrated that he thought it was Angel Gabriel calling him and that he did not believe it until the afternoon of that day when Museveni said on national television that he had forgotten “my man.”
“If a president can call you his man, you will die for him,” said Kabbyanga.
“I am going to do for you your excellency. I will look for votes for you and you will see how the basket will go full.”
