Rift with Wamba reported

    NAIROBI
    A “rift” has reportedly emerged between the Ugandan government and its ally and leader of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie-mouvement de liberation (RCD-ML) faction, Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, the independent ‘Sunday Monitor’ reported. The paper said cracks developed after Wamba’s appointment of new “cabinet” officials on 1 October. His appointment of Adele Mugisa Lotshove as minister for infrastructure, public transport and communications did not go well with the Ugandan authorities because she had been appointed by the latter as governor for Kibali-Ituri province, the paper said. The Ugandans want her to stay in her current post.
