Who is Byamukama?
A popular politician with roots in para-military service, Byamukama sprang to prominence by taking a frontline action against the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel incursion. He enlisted as Local Defence Unit operative and became a commander of the outfit by 1996, serving up to 2002 when ADF rebels were annihilated.

Byamukama himself was elected the chairman of the Town Council, although residents prefer to call him Mayor.
