I’m sure the name Juma Seiko is not new in your ears when it comes to social life. TheSpy Uganda has landed on exclusive photos of flamboyant Lt.Col.Juma Seiko, the presidential advisor on security attached to the office of the president and Gen.Salim Saleh’s blue-eyed ‘boy’, where he was among the key notable figures who graced Britania Allied Industries Ltd’s newly launched Splash Kachupa on Friday at their Ntinda-stretcher based offices.
Juma Seiko arrives at the launch on Friday in style
Seiko, donned in full army combat made a surprise appearance when he emerged from his state-of-the-art Blue Mercedes Benz in a commando style in which he was croozing himself, parked it near MD Vinay Dawda’s personalized car number plate marked ‘V7’ (meaning Vinay’s car No. 7) and straight went to the sampling table where he first guzzled three bottles non-stop before he returned to greet the MD who was already laughing to his bone marrows. This left several workers who were watching mesmerized at the Colonel’s appetite and ‘talent’.
Sources told this reporter that Juma Seiko’s closeness to the Dawda family traces as way back as at the inception of the company in the early 90s when they were looking for suitable land to acquire for the factory where he played a key role.
As a way of remaining at the top of their game, and making their products more available and affordable for consumers, Britania Allied Ind.Ltd on Friday unveiled a new packaging of splash known as SPLASH KACHUPA.
