He said this after Ofwono said it is unreasonable for Ugandans to hold Gen. Elly Tumwiine ransom over just statements.
Tumwiine who passed on the 25th of August 2022, has been on the lips of Ugandans over the statements he made during the shootings that happened in November 2020.
However, Ssemujju says this country has a provision for holding people accountable for what they say.
“OfwonoOpondo, you won’t choose how we summarize people’s lives. It’s my right. Some people say Tumwine was an angel. Please go to the radio and say that. People are holding Tumwine accountable for the statements he made. There is a culture of holding people accountable based on their statements in this country.”
Tumwine’s statements angered many people
Ssemujju further added that Tumwine’s family is supposed to understand why people are angry. He says this is the same way the public felt when Tumwine made his statements about the people that died in the November 2020 campaigns.
“I sympathize with his children. They lost a father. But that’s what it means when you are in active service. When people were mourning their relatives shot during the campaigns, what did he say? Why doesn’t the family reflect on that? It is an emotional reaction.”
Elly Tumwine was buried on 30th August 2022. At his burial, Museveni called all those who are hurling insults at the deceased noise makers. President Yoweri Museveni also said Gen Tumwine did a lot for the country that can’t be destroyed.
