Namuwongo is no joke. General Kazini survived Kishangani and more only to end up being killed in Namuwongo over sex. Mr Mirima Henry should investigate more about what makes Namuwongo attractive to military and no nonsense. In the 1960s, it was the late Minister Kakonge who had his Hqws shuttered by then Sgt Kayongo’s bullets. Yes, over a woman.
Under normal circumstance the state would want to establish beyond a doubt its innocence in Kazini’s murder. They would do the following
a) Order for an observed post mortem with General Kazini’s family fully represented by their own pathologists and lawyers.
But by the look of things Uganda may not have a chief Government pathologist who performs such sensitive post mortems. It seems they rely on the police surgeon.
b) set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry presided over by a distinguished high Court Judge. I would recommend the same for the late Mr Brian Bukenya (RIP) because there are certain things that need to be clarified under oath. A lot needs to be fuound out from the Iron Lady Lydia Draru. Could she have been acting on orders from somewhere else?
Where was the late’s driver and ADC? What about body guards and so on.
That said, the government has lost a scapegoat. I do not know what to make of the crocodile tears being shed by top military officials.
I keep asking: under what circumstances are suspicious deaths ever probed in Uganda?
It is a disgrace. It seems all big men do in Uganda is drink and womanize and spread HIV/AIDS. The late General moved from one bar to another drinking.
He was reckless and has paid with his life. Given all the powerful forces and interest aligned up against him, one would have expectedd him to be extra careful. But wapi. He played into their hands and is dead.
