49 officials from government have so far been arrested and subsequently charged in court with offences of corruption by the State House anti-corruption unit led by Lt Col Edith Nakalema, who is also a born-again Christian.

Lt Col Edith Nakalema made this announcement during her appearance at a week-long ‘Trumpet Camp’ hosted by Ap. Dr. John W. Mulinde at the Africa Prayer Mountain in Seguku.

“I never take anything simple, when I’m given a role, I do it with the whole of me. When I came back from a 14-year advanced course in the United Kingdom, I was appointed to head Anti Corruption Unit. By God’s grace’, we have so far taken 49 government officials to courts of law,” she said, sparking thunderous applause.

To this achievement, Dr. John W. Mulinde who is the Founder and General Overseer of World Trumpet Mission said part of disciplining a nation is going into the fabric of society.

Lt Col Edith Nakalema continued: “We need your prayers. So many security threats, so many witches, all crisis now rotates around my name. I am not scared because I have a president in the spirit.”

“We shall continue fighting corruption, and I want to tell our visitors who came from all over the world that Uganda is a safe place to be and corruption will be no more,” she said.

As Uganda Christian News reported earlier, Nakalema’s appointment was sealed off days after her revealing during a christian meeting in Kampala that being Born-again is the best decision she has ever made in life and that God has continued lifting her from “grass to grace.”

Nakalema, whose parents were both ministers of the Word of God, didn’t think would remain in the army after training following her recruitment in 1998 while at University.

“I wanted work that would enable me preach after passing out from the army,” Nakalema explained then.

She later came to terms with Military service, adding that it is possible to effectively serve God even when in military uniform. 

Nakalema rose through the ranks, as an Order Officer, then Pay Master until 2001 when she joined the State House, and “miraculously” served three (3) years without formal appointment.

Her credibility as Pay Master with the army caught the President’s attention, who soon summoned her to his office in Nakasero, in Kampala.

“I want you to clean up my office using the degree of Salvation. I am surrounded by thieves,” Nakalema quoted the president as saying during their meeting.

“Positive confessions and prayer will put you where you want to be. God chose me without any good quality to qualify me. We all study, but are positioned by the grace of God,” she said.

“I went to third-world schools but know this, you cannot reach the highest level unless you have been trained. God was laying a foundation for me to speak to you today and confirm that He is able to do anything. Satan knows your destiny and will always use any tool and tactic to divert you. When God calls you, you have to stand for the truth. That way, you will over come,” she said.
