M7 claims he’s in full control of his twitter account
Presidential Assistant in charge of communication Sarah Kagingo has taken to Twitter to Apologize for what she now calls a state house inside job that led to alleged hacking of the President’s twitter account and the consequent arrest of a one IT guru Joseph Owino on Sunday who was later released Monday. Joseph through his website sent an official statement about the incidence after he was released. There also reports that indicate that she has been fired. But how did this all start?
The events that lead to the arrest

When, two days ago, I discovered that @KagutaMuseveni had been hacked, I called #JosephOwino who was the only other person I knew had access

He said he was “very busy watching football” and could not meet me. Even when I said I would drive wherever he is, he refused to meet me.

He instead advised that I change passwords.When I did, I discovered that I had lost access to the official mail attached to @KagutaMuseveni

I was concerned that tweets prejudice to President #Museveni would be made to @KagutaMuseveni. I contacted the Inspector General of Police

Unfortunately, IGP’s mobile phone was off. His assistant was helpful. He got me in touch with other other police authorities in Ntinda.

I was, however, advised that because of the special nature of the matter, Special Investigations Bureau (SIU) should handle.

SIU IT in-charge and another in charge of operations were assigned to handle. #JosephOwino offered to use his laptop and recover the account

Shortly after, he requested that I hand over my phone and he changes the passwords. I requested that he shares the changed passwords.

He said he would make the changes to recover the account himself at which point Police advised he makes the changes at SIU computer lab
