General Elly Tumwine has told off president Museveni to stop playing around with the blood of those people who sacrificed for freedom.
This was during the PAC report debate on the financial scandal involving NRM’s entrepreneur, Hassan Basajjabalaba who was given the compensation of over 142 billion shillings as compensation for losing tenders in the city markets.
The parliament was discussing whether the bank of Uganda Governor Tumusiime Mutebile should be fired because of his reported role in awarding the above sum of money to Basajjabalaba.
The corridors of power were saying that the president had instructed the ruling party MPs not to support any move that would lead to the firing of the Central Bank Governor.
Gen. Tumwine said that Mutebile has to go in the same way the former ministers, Khiddu Makubuya and Syda Bbumba went. He reportedly added that the time for Uganda to get ride of the corrupt public officials in now.
Gen. Elly Tumwine is remembered to have fired the first bullet in 1981 NRA war and he lost his eye during the bush war which brought President Museveni and his government to power 26 years ago.
