EMBARRASSING INCIDENT!! Shocking Details Leak On Why Museveni Ordered The Firing Of 152 Staffs At Entebbe Airport

A recent safety incident at Entebbe International Airport has intensified scrutiny over operations and alleged corruption within the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA). According to high-level sources, Maama Maria Nyerere—the widow of Tanzania’s founding President Julius Nyerere—was briefly trapped in a malfunctioning elevator during her visit to Uganda.

The incident reportedly lasted more than four minutes, during which Maama Nyerere experienced significant distress and panic. Sources from the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) and airport staff confirm that she was alone in the lift when it suddenly stopped functioning, raising immediate concerns about her well-being.

President Yoweri Museveni was said to be deeply alarmed upon learning of the event. He reportedly dispatched his medical team to conduct a full health assessment of Maama Nyerere at State House to ensure there were no lasting effects. Following this, Museveni is said to have ordered a comprehensive investigation, instructing ISO operatives to uncover the root cause of the malfunction.

According to insiders, the incident was a catalyst for the President’s renewed calls for urgent reforms at Entebbe Airport—long criticized by the public for deteriorating infrastructure and substandard maintenance.

Further complicating matters are allegations of nepotism within the UCAA. Reports indicate that the elevator in question was under the supervision of a maintenance technician who may have been hired irregularly. The technician is reportedly a relative of Sabah Ahmed Kakooza, UCAA’s Director of Human Resource and Administration. Sources claim the technician was given the role without undergoing a formal recruitment process.

The technician is said to be part of the team responsible for maintaining critical infrastructure such as elevators—raising serious questions about safety oversight and the qualifications of airport staff.

This revelation has heightened public concern over nepotism, mismanagement, and the potential risks posed to travelers at Uganda’s only international airport. Many Ugandans are now asking: How widespread is the hiring of unqualified personnel at such a critical facility? And how many lives may be endangered as a result?

As investigations continue, the pressure on UCAA is mounting. What was meant to be a quiet visit by a respected African stateswoman has now become a national incident—one that may prompt long-overdue accountability and reforms at Entebbe International Airport.
