He said this because of the way Ugandans have been talking about the late general, Elly Tumwiine. According to him, no one has the right to judge Tumwiine whatsoever because that is only for God to do.
“I wish to encourage Ugandans to stop judging the dead. I am a believer and know that we are all descendants of Adam and so children of God. Let’s leave judgment of the dead to the Almighty.”
“I wouldn’t wish us to judge the dead, leave judgment to our God. Judging the dead who can’t defend themselves isn’t fair. God is the only judge. Because, in most cases, when people are at their weakest, they tend to return to God and some repent and regret. We commit the dead to the Almighty judge for final judgment. Let’s commit Gen. Tumwine to God,” he added.
He however said he understands the anger people feel and it is justified because of the injustice they have faced over the years.
Regardless, he says this shouldn’t in any way make people inhuman, or insensitive and cause them to lose their sense of compassion.
Besigye says he met Tumwiine while in NRA where he was working as a doctor at that time. At that time Tumwiine was a deputy commander.
Meanwhile, at a time when most opposition political figures are highlighting the shortfalls of fallen security minister Gen Elly Tumwine and the majority social media users celebrating his death, Hon Mubarak Munyagwa has pointed out one of his positive attributes.
The former Kawempe South MP said that Tumwine was a great pan-Africanist.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
