Minister of State for Privatisation and Investment Evelyn Anite has said there is a plan by mafias in government to assassinate her just like former Arua Municipality MP Ibrahim Abiriga.
Anite recently recorded a one nil win when the High Court in Kampala ordered for an audit into the struggling Uganda Telecom (UTL) within 30 days as the minister had requested.
However, addressing a news conference at the Ministry of Finance headquarters in Kampala today, Anite insisted that there is plan to remove her out of the UTL picture for “sinister” plans by mafias to continue without her.
She says she might die but history will judge them harshly.
Last week, a whistleblower petitioned the IGG asking for investigations into an alleged secret booking from US via France to Mauritius by Anite to meet investors who want to take over UTL.
The hard-talking Anite, however, said the whistleblower petition was the hand of the mafias who are thirsty for her blood but noted they will not manage her.
Uganda Telecom Limited was in May 2017 put under administration after Libyans, who owned 69% of the shares left at a time when the company had an Shs700b debt.
Early this year, government kicked out Teleology Holdings Limited from Nigeria for failure to pay Shs268 billion within three months of being awarded the UTL deal as had been agreed by both parties.
