President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni has spoken out on an attempted assassination against works and transport minister Gen Edward Katumba Wamala, terming the assailants who killed the general’s daughter Brenda Nantongo and his driver Haruna Kayondo ‘pigs.’
“The pigs who do not value life shot at Gen. Katumba, killed his daughter and driver and injured him,” said Museveni in a statement.
“Condolences on the loss of the two Ugandans.”
The president revealed he had “talked to Gen. Katumba twice on the phone” and “he is being well-managed.”
Museveni noted security agencies already had clues.
“We shall defeat the criminals as we did in the past. We already have clues to those killers,” he continued.
“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.”
He wished the general quick recovery.
