SV: {UAH} Museveni position in Kanyamunyu – Akena ethnicity fanning exposed

I must say I salute both President Museveni, Prime Minister Rugunda and IGP Kaihura for coming out firm on this unusually cruel and barbaric tragedy.

I notice some individual down play and accord the overwhelming reaction to theinfluential positions of some of the late viictims relatives in UPDF.

I don't think thats a correct assessment. The cruel murder occured on Saturday last week. Ugsndan reaction peaked mid week.

My opinion is that the cruel and shocking course of the tragedy is what Ugandan are reacting to.
Noc'la gaumoy.
"WE FORM THE CULTURE THAT FORMS US"….noc'la gaumoy.

New light has being shed on the role President Yoweri
Museveni played in
containing the ethnic undertones and overtures that have
characterised
discussions over the unfortunate death of Mr Kenneth Akena.

A revelation by former State House intelligence officer
Charles Rwomushana
on Radio Simba's flagship Saturday political show, said
the
Commander-in-Chief of the Uganda Armed Forces Gen Museveni
ordered the
Inspector General of Police, Gen Kale Kayihura to go address
mourners at
the burial of the late Akena in Kitgum District on Wednesday
and contain
the tribal talk.

He said: "My intelligence source told me the President
personally called
the police chief and told him to go attend the burial of the
Akena to help
dismiss rumours that Matthew Kanyamunyu a key suspect in the
murder would
not be tried in courts of law, if he is connected to the
murder and that
the family would get justice."

Akena, a child rights activist, was shot last weekend at
Lugogo area and
died later at Norvik Hospital in Kampala.

On Museveni's orders, the IGP also assured the mourners
that despite
'negative' reports circulating on social media
surrounding the death of
Akena, investigation into his death are ongoing.

Akena's relatives led by Aruu County MP Odonga Otto
claimed there was a
systematic cover up for the murder because Kanyamunyu is a
connected
Munyankole.

On Monday, a local tabloid Hello reported the incident with
the
headline *"Munyankole
Tycoon Shoots Acholi Guy Dead To Impress Babe @ Game
Mall.''*
<http://theugandan.com.ug/govt-threatens-close-red-pepper-tribal-byanyima-nephews-murder-story/>

The story was condemned by government and locals alike for
fanning
tribalism, and it escalated social media debates on the
tribal issue in the
country.

Rwomushana, an outspoken government critic also said that
Uganda Police was
a major influence in the media misinforming readers through
planting
stories in media houses besides not explaining why the
victim Akena was
driven to Victoria Hospital then to Nakasero Hospital
by-passing Mulago
national referral hospital which is a few metres away.

He questioned the crime scene version of the events. 
Rwomushana said
Police inquirers escalated the confusion by guarding the
wrong crime scenes
at shopping malls: Games Stores and Forest Mall instead of
the more
credible one opposite UMA show grounds gate at Lugogo.
Police spokesman
Andrew Felix Kaweesi says the relatives said the deceased
told them he was
shot near Forest Mall but his car was retrieved from around
UMA.
