Col. Kiiza Besigye says he has heard of calls from NRM government supporters to the effect that the members of Activists for Change (A4C) should be condemned for the killing of a police man on Wednesday.

Besigye however says that he has not heard any supporter of President Museveni saying that the criminal acts of police should be condemned or investigated.

“In professional investigations, we look at the act and the circumstances under which an incidence occurred. NRM supporters should be asking themselves why citizens are reacting to police in such a manner. Why now? And what has gone wrong?

Besigye further says that NRM supporters did not condemn police for the lives that got lost during walk to work I and walk to work phase II, Kasubi tombs firing incident or the Buganda riots of 2009 in which over 27 people died and scores injured.

The reconstruction exercise of the burnt Kasubi tombs is still in balance after Buganda Kingdom Katikkiro JB Walusimbi announced today that the kingdom is broke and has no money to construct the burnt tombs.

Addressing the members of the Lukiiko on Monday, the Katikkiro said the kingdom has only 750 million shillings meant for the reconstruction of the burnt Kasubi tombs.

The Katikkiro who also informed the Lukiiko that the Kabaka accepted to renew his term of office as the Katikkiro for another four-year term said more money is still required towards the reconstruction and asked the Kabaka’s subjects and friends to donate more money.

The report whose details have leaked to the press was completed in March 16, 2011. It was done by the commission which was presided over by Justice Stephen George Engwau and was handed over to the government of Uganda.

The report shows that Kasubi fire was work of an arsonist. It shows that an arm (we have not disclosed in this report) used some people who know Kasubi tombs well to torch it.

The same report also accuses Buganda kingdom of having failed to guard the tombs against the activities of the arsonists. However a source in government has told our informers that the government is not ready to release the report because its findings are too controversial to both Buganda kingdom and the government of Uganda.
