In a recent interview, the former driver of the late Joseph Tamale Mirundi shared a gripping story about how he played a pivotal role in saving Mirundi’s job as the Presidential Press Secretary.
This incident marked the beginning of a long-lasting friendship and working relationship that spanned over a decade.
The former driver recalled that his first day working with Mirundi was fraught with tension.
On that day, unknown individuals at State House plotted to have Mirundi dismissed by deliberately failing to pick him up for an important assignment.
Mirundi was supposed to prepare a crucial presidential press conference at Resort Hotel in Entebbe. Despite earlier assurances, the official vehicle never arrived to take him to the event.
Realizing that he was being set up, Mirundi quickly devised a plan. He hired a vehicle from a neighbor and instructed his new driver to pursue the Presidential motorcade.
The driver successfully caught up with the convoy near Kitubulu in Entebbe, allowing Mirundi to join the team at Resort Hotel in time to fulfil his duties.
This quick thinking not only saved Mirundi’s job but also led him to place great trust in his driver. Over the next ten years, the two formed a close bond that extended beyond work, becoming as close as family.
This story highlights the loyalty and resourcefulness that characterized the relationship between Mirundi and his driver, a connection that lasted until the former’s passing.
