Renowned Uganda’s Military intelligence head Rtd. Gen David Tinyefuza who later renamed himself Sejusa has set himself to seriously take in the nursery teaching job as part of his retirement work.
Gen. Sejusa who is currently doing a short course in Nursery Teaching retired I. August 2022 from active army service and has made social media a friend sharing different views both locally and internationally like any other Ugandan.
At the age of 69, Gen. Sejusa says, he is setting his eyes on nursery school teaching, to burn all the extra time he has on his hand.
“By the way, I’m doing a short course in Nursery Teaching,” announced the retired former NRA combatant on social media.
“(I) want to see what is the difference between managing adults and infants,” he added.
Sejusa was responding to a question from one of his followers about how he spends his time in retirement.
Alex Muhairwe wanted to know if the general was personally making all the social media posts on his account, which Gen Sejusa confirmed.

“Why would a retired soldier employ an admin for his account? That would be laziness!” Sejusa responded.
“Retirement means you’ve got enough time to engage in all sorts of things, including “malwa” stuff.”
Since stepping aside from public life, Gen Sejusa has been very active on X where he shares views and information and local and international affairs.
Who is Gen Sejusa
General David Sejusa, formerly known as Tinyefuza, is a prominent figure in Uganda’s military and political history. Born on November 15, 1954, in Sembabule District, he joined the Ugandan army in 1978. Sejusa rose to prominence during the Ugandan Bush War (1981-1986) that brought President Yoweri Museveni to power. He has served in various high-ranking positions, including as the Coordinator of Intelligence Services and a member of Parliament.
Sejusa is perhaps best known for his critical stance against the government he once served. In 2013, he fled to the UK after alleging a plot to assassinate officials opposed to a supposed plan to have Museveni’s son succeed him. His actions and outspoken criticism led to significant tension with the Ugandan government, culminating in a complex legal battle over his status within the army.
After a protracted legal and administrative struggle, Sejusa officially retired from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) on August 31, 2022. His retirement marked the end of a controversial and influential military career, characterized by both his contributions to Uganda’s military establishment and his later dissent against the same government he helped to install.
