The Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and Mr.Micheal Nuwagira alias Toyota have reportedly received seasoned Journalist Sir Simon Muyanga Lutaaya to the trendy MK Movement.

This website has landed on pictures of Lutaaya meeting Gen.Muhoozi and Toyota in what our sources described as a ‘new Muyanga’s Political path’.
