Ugandan President Declares Generals Have Blood Just Like Any Other Human

Ugandan President General Tibuhaburwa, while announcing new measures to curb the current surge of COVID-19 pandemic affecting the largely land locked East African country, declared that “generals also have blood just like any other human being”.

This was in reference to the attempted assassination of one of his generals Katumba Wamala in the outskirts of the capital Kampala.

The failed assassins of general Katumba, attempted to end his life last week, where Katumba’s daughter Brenda Nantongo and his driver Haruna Kayondo were killed.

“If the General and the population is not alert then they can be attacked. In the case of Gen Katumba he also made some mistakes because apparently, he was moving without a follow car. He was moving with one escort and a driver. I didn’t know that. Because a four-star general should be having a follow car. But even then the bodyguard reacted and that’s how he managed to save general Katumba’s life”.
