Former Senior Presidential advisor on media matters, Tamale Mirundi, said he was poisoned by people who were after his life.
Mirundi who just returned Tuesday for his weekly show on NBS Television dubbed “One on One with Tamale Mirundi”, has been undergoing treatment at Kisubi hospital for weeks.
He told NBS host Kazibwe Bashir that he knows who poisoned him and where he ate the poison from.
“I know where the problem came from. The doctors said it’s pneumonia but I know what happened and I know everything. I know where I ate the poison from. It was strong because it beat all the muscles and if I wasn’t stubborn, I would me moving around in a wheelchair,” Mirundi said.
Asked whether Museveni offered him any support, Mirundi said that the president sent a team to have him airlifted to Nairobi but he refused to leave the country saying that he wanted to be treated from local hospitals.
“I refused to be taken to Nairobi because that would be sacrificing myself. I am comfortable here and I told my friend Bobi Wine that the president had not ignored me. I can’t take local herbs in Nairobi but I can do that here,” he added.
“I can’t take local herbs in Nairobi but I can do that here.”
While still working as the presidential press secretary, Mirundi said he survived poison three times at the hands of State House mafia.
