"We must still wish Elwelu fair treatment and due process under the law. Yet there is no escaping the poetic justice of a man who once handed down merciless destruction now finding himself hunted, learning the hard way that the wheel of retribution too often turns full circle." - Onyango-Obbo ✍️
The kind of karma that governs Uganda is something to be feared. Retired Lt. Gen. Peter Elwelu, now pursued by Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba over allegations of rebel activity – charges he denies - has gone into hiding, "fearing for his life".
In November 2016, Elwelu, then a brigadier, commanded the military assault on the Rwenzururu Kingdom palace in Kasese, allegedly for its support of eastern DR Congo-based Ugandan rebels. The operation left over 150 people dead, with estimates placing the toll around 153, including royal guards, civilians, women, and children.
On May 19, 2021, Elwelu provoked widespread outrage during a press conference by declaring that the Kasese victims "deserved death."
Defending the brutality of the raid, he insisted, "Uganda is peaceful because of my actions in Kasese."
When challenged on local backlash and the US visa sanctions slapped on Ugandan officials over human rights abuses, he brushed off international concern: "To hell with them."
He had previously branded the Kasese victims "witches" shortly after the 2016 massacre.
If Elwelu is cowering in fear today, he might pause to reflect on the sheer terror felt by those defenceless women and children in Kasese. Perhaps he now wishes he possessed the powers of a Harry Potter wizard to vanish into thin air before Muhoozi tracks him down.
We must still wish Elwelu fair treatment and due process under the law. Yet there is no escaping the poetic justice of a man who once handed down merciless destruction now finding himself hunted, learning the hard way that the wheel of retribution too often turns full circle.

In a bid to curb the depreciation of the shilling and inflation, the Treasury has decided to reduce on government expenditure by revising the NIGHT allowances for public officials upwards!

We just pray for Okello's quick recovery and that you people go easy on Norman and stop this social media madness. You were not even bothered with the match but here crucifying the boy. No player ever wishes to break another's leg or harm him to that level.
The positive part is the team has a pro psychologist in @LubwamaJoshua5 who has passed thru a similar incident, he will be of help.
Let the boy be, he is too stressed at the moment.
There are universities where people go to get papers for qualification and show-off and then there are universities where people go to be educated!
