HE Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has described killers of blogger Ibrahim Tusubira aka Isma Ichuli as pigs and promised that they will be hunted and jailed.
However, it’s worth noting that these are the same statements Museveni has been saying from the previous killings involving government and top army officials but till date no justice has ever been served. Never the less, Museveni blames gun men for killing ‘unarmed opponents’.
“I condemn and treat with contempt the killing of this Ugandan by some pigs. It is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents. NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter- arguments,” Museveni tweeted today.
He says that those killing their critics shows that their position is false and cannot out- argue an opponent. “Why kill him if he is wrong and you are right? Killers are fake thinkers. They stand on false positions. Anyway, I can assure Ugandans that this criminal will be traced and punished,” said Museveni warning that;
“Do you remember the Bijambiya in Masaka? Most of those suspected killers are in the courts of law today. Do you remember the Kiddawalime group? Most of them are either dead or in prison. Kiddawalime himself was among the dead.”
He adds that he has sent parcels of money to Isma’s family as condolences as his government starts to hunt the killers.
“I have sent ‘mataaba’ to the family. The State House Comptroller will deliver it. Sympathy to the family of Isma. We stand with you and we shall punish the killer,” states Museveni.
Meanwhile, during Isma’s burial, a couple of mourners fumed against Museveni’s government terming it a ‘murderous government’ that has lost capacity to protect innocent civilians, whereas others blamed security agencies for using guns against the wanainchi.
