Kibwetere survivors storm parliament

Kibwetere survivors are irked by the delay of the parliaments’ committee on Defense and Internal Affairs to present the report on the Kibwetere Massacre of the year 2000
They claim that this report was finished taken to the office of the clerk to be put on the order paper but it’s not always on the order paper for debate and recommend for Action to Government.
On 17 March 2000 about 1000 people were burnt to death in Kanungu, Rukungiri (now Kanungu) District.
Those who were burnt belonged to a religious cult calling itself the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments, popularly known as Kibwetere cult, led by Joseph Kibwetere, Credonia Mwerinde, Angelina Mugisha, Fr. Joseph Kasapurari and Fr. Dominic Kataribabo.

The cult leader, Joseph Kibwetere who masterminded the tragic inferno in which 1000 people died in early 2000, is still Uganda’s most wanted man.
The Chairperson of the Kibwetere Survivors Turyatemba Suleiman today came to parliament protesting that the report is taking long yet they want to know the stage at which the report it has reached.

The Chairperson of the Defense and Internal Affairs Committee who is also Mubende District Woman MP Benny Namugwanya said that as a committee they have finalized their task and are waiting also the Parliaments’ clerk to put the report on the order Paper.
