Yoweri Museveni, the Uganda’s has vowed to punish killers of prominent blogger Ibrahim Tusubira alias Isma Olaxes aka Jjajja Ichuli, who was shot dead on Saturday night at around 9:20 pm.
“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. Killing critics shows that your position is false and you cannot out- argue an opponent,” Museveni said.
Museveni wondered why one would kill an opponent who is wrong. He added that killers are fake thinkers who stand on false positions. “Anyway, I can assure Ugandans that this criminal will be traced and punished.”
Museveni said he will deal with Tusubira’s murderers like he did with greater Masaka machete attackers who claimed lives of close 30 people. “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.”
Tusubira’s family has been sent a condolence message accompanied by money. He said the State House Comptroller will deliver it. Sympathy to the family of Isma. We stand with you and we shall punish the killer.
