The UPDF’s Land Forces commander and Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has requested the president to pardon former IGP General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura.
In a tweet, Wednesday night, Gen Kainerugaba noted that Kayihura, like Gen James Kazini and Brig Noble Mayombo was great cadres who inspired him to serve his nation.
“Gen K Kayihura was one of those special cadres in the early 1990s who inspired us to serve our nation. Others were late Generals Mayombo and Kazini. If he made mistakes, let us use revolutionary methods of work to rectify them. I request the CIC to forgive and rehabilitate him,” Gen Kainerugaba tweeted.
In August 2018, Gen Kayihura was arraigned before the General Court Martial on three charges. Two counts were on failure to protect war materials contrary to Section 122 of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces Act of 2005 and the third count related to aiding and abetting the kidnap and repatriation of Rwandan refugees in Uganda contrary to Sections 19 and 242 of the Penal Code Act.
