Court refuses to summon Gen. Aronda Nyakairima over coup remarks

Gerald Businge — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 08:37:44 +0000

Court has dismissed an application for criminal summons against the Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Aronda Nyakairima.

Nakawa Chief Magistrate Joyce Kabagi has dismissed the application filed by Luweero Woman MP, Brenda Nabukenya on grounds that it was filed in a wrong court which has no jurisdiction to handle the matter.

The magistrate also said that the complainant did not secure a letter from the local authorities at Buziga, where Gen. Nyakairima resides.

In her application, Nabukenya had requested court to issue criminal summons against Nyakairima over alleged charges of treason.

Nyakairina allegedly said that the army would take over the government if leaders continued to practice bad politics.

The remarks made during a news conference at the ministry of Defense headquarters last month, drew outrage from a cross section of Ugandans including some members of the inner circle in the army.

UPDF to investigate killings of 10 soldiers in Central Africa Republic

Gerald Businge — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:49:31 +0000

The Chief of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Gen. Aronda Nyakairima has indicated that the Uganda Army will launch an investigation into the killing of 10 UPDF soldiers in Central African Republic (CAR) last week.

Joseph Kony

The soldiers who are on the hunt down for Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels led by Joseph Kony were probably killed by the Sudanese Janjaweed Militias and not LRA according to the UPDF.

Nyakairima says four groups have already been identified for thorough investigations. The Uganda Army head of land forces Lt. Gen Katumba Wamala has already been dispatched to the crime scene to gather information.

Nyakairima says the killers were not LRA because their fighting skills were far different from Kony’s LRA guerrilla warfare tactics. He says the UPDF received many causalities because they were not prepared for an encounter in such a vast forested area.

The UPDF has neither named the dead or the injured but says the injured are receiving treatment.

The over 20 year LRA insurgency led by Joseph Kony has led to untold suffering in Northern Uganda, Southern Sudan, DR Congo and CAR. Uganda Army efforts to launch attacks in countries where Kony operates have only succeeded in weakening his capacity to cause trouble more trouble in Northern Uganda.
