Opposition Jubilates UK Sanctions on Former Uganda Police Boss Gen Kale Kayihura.


The Leader of Opposition Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba has expressed joy with the sanctions slapped on the ex Inspector General of Police saying people like Gen. Kale Kayihura should serve as an example to other government officials who abuse human rights. Mpuuga, a former Activists for Change member and a leader in the 2011 walk to work protests recounts some of his experience with the police as it was then under the command of Gen. Kayihura.


“You all recall how he operated the notorious Nalufenya prison. So many citizens were tortured under his command. In a democratic dispensation, Gen. Kayihura and his accomplices would by now be in jail,” Mpuuga said in an interview with a local radio station. “Gen. Kayihura should call his colleagues with like minds of using violence on citizens and tell them his traumatic experience. He needs to show them practical lessons of what he is going through at the moment,” Mpuuga added.


Mpuuga further appeals to the government of UK and the international community to impose sanctions on more Museveni government officials that have persistently indulged in human rights abuses.


However, Internal Affairs Minister Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire says these sanctions are meaningless and a total ‘wastage of time’ as Uganda is a ‘sovereign state.’ He says these sanctions do not even directly affect the individuals.

“What’s in these sanctions? Absolutely nothingness but time wastage,” Otafiire said.


Counsel Jet Tumwebaze who is Gen. Kale Kayihura’s lawyer says much as the sanctions have been slapped on his client, there is nothing much he will lose as an individual.


“I want to assure you that Gen. Kale Kayihura is not losing sleep over these sanctions, although he is, of course, concerned. We will engage like we have done in the past, and I can assure you they’ll be toned down. I am not at liberty to discuss what Gen. Kale Kayihura is Planning to do but he is planning to do something. Like I said, he isn’t not losing sleep. He could as well go home and ignore them,” he adds, “These sanctions against General Kale Kayihura are not fresh. It’s the same cocktail of the old bunch of false allegations that are being regurgitated.When allegations by the American group happened in 2018, we did get an engagement with the former US Ambassador here. The sanctions rotate around the allegations of the handling of the suspects during the post-2010 twin bombings.”
