When Tamale Mirundi wrote about the divine curse from the Catholic Church to Mengo

My analysis
The late Tamale Mirundi was given access to many media houses to parade the deception that Yoweri Museveni is a good man although his government was hijacked by mafias. In exposing the so called MAFIA, he stepped on a number of toes of the top brass in Museveni’s government. This is the reason why Tamale Mirundi intimated that he was poisoned in state house on several occasions. Tamale Mirundi was ignorant about the criminal neo-liberal State presided over by Museveni. Fred Lumbuye exposed the deceptions by Tamale Mirundi when he urged that Uganda is indeed a MAFIA state presided over by the chief Mafia, Yoweri Museveni.
How Tamale Mirundi impacted the Catholic Church

Speaking at Mirundi’s home in Kirimannyaga Zone, Zzana on Wednesday, Gladys Nakaddu a resident highlighted how the Mirundi family have served as a pillar at the St Matia Mulumba Church.
“Mirundi’s wife (Juliet Tamale) and children are very active in the church,” she said.
“His wife is a leader and a part of the Caritas Uganda (a conservationist development arm of the Catholic Church of Uganda).
“His daughter, Teddy Nantongo is the head of the Married at the church; another daughter Maria is in the church choir, while his son Dr Tamale is our youth leader.”
Nakaddu says all this would not have been possible without the input and support of Tamale Murundi.

“His family has been a pillar of the church. You cannot say that his entire family took up leadership positions in the church and he did not play a role in it.”
Supporting church initiatives
Mrs Ages Nannyonga, a municipal councilor and church leader also credited the late Mirundi for supporting the church’s groups and initiatives.
“We as members of the Mother Mary’s Army often came here and he called us his children. He loved us and he helped us financially,” she said.
Mirundi many times boasted of his commitment to his religion.
In his later days, however, he spoke out against the church and even claimed to have turned into a traditionalist.
Changing his name
However, his elder brother Ssali says that from childhood, Tamale was a staunch Catholic, who even changed his name to reflect this.
According to Ssali, Mirundi’s birth name was Bulasio Mirundi which he changed to Joseph, because he loved the biblical Joseph the Worker
Tamale Mirundi the patriot leaves mixed legacy

The country
is reeling from the death of renowned media practitioner and former
presidential press secretary, Joseph Tamale Mirundi who passed on today
morning (August 14) at Kisubi Hospital.
Mirundi, aged sixty, was holding the
portfolio of senior presidential advisor on media and public relations, a
position he loved to hate. Son to Molly Namatovu and Yowana Mirundi of
Matale Kalagala, Rakai district, Mirundi leaves a mixed legacy, with
some thinking he was a reckless and fearless commentator while others
see a thoughtful and independent commentator.
He has been renowned for his
no-holds-barred attack on excesses in government despite being part of
the ruling establishment. The journalist who reportedly made his way
from a humble beginning as a school drop-out was brought to Kampala city
by his brother – Ssali who was working with the then Munno Publications
in the early 1980s.
Mirundi, according to accounts took on
newspaper vending, a fit playing assist to his brother Ssali’s role but
took a keen interest in writing especially letters to the editor. Later,
he took on reporting about events and proved a worthwhile journalist.
He was never to look back as the paper sponsored him for short-term
training to hone his skills.
Soon he became a colossus at
reporting, rising to chief reporter at the paper. He was later to become
the paper’s editor but broke ranks with his employers in the early
1990s as some board members tried to force him to publish what he was
opposed to on ethical grounds.
Mirundi in the mid-1990s started
his own company, Lipoota Publication which published Lippota in Luganda
and The Report in English. The latter was more short-lived than Lipoota
though both publications did not flourish owing to the economic terrain
faced by the media then. The situation might have forced him to
compromise here and there for the enterprise to survive.
Later, he founded The Voice,
which former minister Sam Kuteesa heavily bankrolled for political
capital but that also did not live long and collapsed. He is also
remembered for his struggles to maintain free media as the government
moved to regulate the industry by bringing the press and media statute
that required journalists to have a minimum of a diploma for reporters
and a degree for editors.
In the panic that engulfed media
practitioners, journalists moved to claim self-regulation, which failed.
Those struggles saw the media practitioners divided between the elite
(as Makerere University opened to mass communication and journalism).
The
“Abataasoma (uneducated)” who were dominant by numbers belonged to the
Uganda Journalists Association (UJA) as the elite registered under the
Uganda News Paper Editors and Proprietors Association (UNEPA).
The
latter group belonged to the top honchos of the then-nascent Monitor
Publications. Mirundi belonged to the former of which he was president
at one time. Mirundi was to later (2003) go back to school, scooping a
degree from Makerere University before becoming the longest-serving
presidential press secretary (PPS) to President Yoweri Museveni (13
years), who is said to have bankrolled his university studies.
A
close relationship had developed through the numerous presidential press
conferences that Mirundi attended. At one of those press conferences,
Mirundi would beat the president to a bet on whether he would defeat
Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) commander Joseph Kony and his belligerents
who were fighting government in northern Uganda. The deceased won his
million and went away smiling.
In 2015 he was relieved of his PPS
duties in what till his death he described as an intrigue-filled
process that bordered on blackmail, ethnic sectarianism and outright
abuse from some presidential office colleagues. Nonetheless, he remained
a self-proclaimed admirer of Museveni, baffling many as he claimed
loath for the system the president headed.
Even then, he remained
vocal in his social media and print publications against excesses of
power in Uganda, always doing it in a dramatic, comical and sometimes
abusive style. Like him or hate him, Mirundi had a hero and patriot in
him. Rest in peace Mirundi.
