President Yoweri Museveni has said that clues leading to the arrest of attackers that killed Gen Katumba Wamala’s daughter and driver are in government possession and that the criminals will be defeated.
President Museveni however said that Gen Katumba’s bodyguard should have shot to kill instead of shooting in the air to scare away the terrorists.
“I wish Gen. Katumba a quick recovery. The bodyguard should not have shot in the air. He should have shot to kill. We could be having a dead terrorist instead of scaring away the terrorists. His shooting saved Gen. Katumba by scaring the criminals away,” Gen Museveni said in a series of tweets.
However, killing one or more of the terrorists would have done the same and more, the President said.
Gen Museveni said that he had spoken to the injured General noting that he is being handled well by medical personnel.
“The pigs who do not value life shot at Gen. Katumba killed his daughter and driver and injured him. Condolences on the loss of the two Ugandans. I talked to Gen. Katumba twice on the phone. He is being well-managed.
We shall defeat the criminals as we did in the past. We already have clues to those killers. Besides, the new system of digital beacons on all vehicles and Boda Bodas will eliminate the misuse of vehicles and Boda Bodas to commit crimes,” President Museveni said.
