Buganda Kingdom Katikkiro (prime minister) Charles Peter Mayiga has warned that there will be no escape for perpetrators of violence against Ugandans in future, adding that they will be held accountable for their deeds.
"Those who are behind such behaviour, time is coming for them to answer. They will have to account. What goes around comes around. Times change, things change," Mr Mayiga said while addressing students from Buddu County at Bulange in Mengo, Kampala, on Tuesday.
He said the high-handedness and escalation of brutality by people in power is not only setting a bad example to the young generation but also damaging the country's reputation.
The students donated Shs21m to the kingdom.
Mr Mayiga cited two of former President Amin's top men, Ali Fadur and Abdul Nasur, who he said were untouchable with a lot of power during their reign but they have now aged and are dying in despair and regret.
"To the young generation, violent acts and murders are wrong. You should never emulate such behaviour," Mr Mayiga warned.
He said when he visited Bulemezi some years ago, Abdul Nasur went before him almost kneeling.
"He was very powerful and ruthless, forcing people to swallow rubber slippers during his time and there is also Ali Fadur, living a desperate life in Mukono [District], sometimes going without food. They were untouchables but are no more," Mr Mayiga said.
The Katikkiro criticised the police violence against four time Forum for Democratic Change presidential candidate Kizza Besigye in the Monday incident where he was nearly thrown on the ground by high pressure water cannons and tear gas. His car was damaged under the command of Rashid Agero.
Agero has a long history of brutality against people. One time he pointed a gun at former Democratic Party president Ssebaana Kizito, now deceased.
Mr Mayiga said if by bad luck Besigye had hit his head on the ground and died in the circumstances, the country would have plunged into chaos.
