Kaheru is a blue-eyed boy to Gen Salim Saleh, a young brother to president Museveni and has deep connections in the Deep State.
Sources said that Kaheru has also used his previous connections as the former national coordinator of the Citizens’ Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda (CCEDU) which is currently suspended by the government on the allegation of sabotaging the country’s development and governance.
Sources said that one of the issues that created trouble for Kaheru at the Commission which resulted into the ongoing fights among the Commissioners was because of his frequent travels abroad.
Sources said that this is because he spent many of his formative years in the United Kingdom where he studied from and recently boasted before fellow Commissioners how he is deeply connected to almost all diplomats in embassies in Uganda which give him paid trips most of which come pegged on his individual attendance.
Sources said that very soon, Kaheru may be jobless after President Museveni kicked-off the process of cleaning the government agency which is responsible for protecting human rights in the country.
