President Yoweri Museveni has spoken out on the murder of Ibrahim Tusubira alias Isma Olaxes.
Olaxes was murdered on Saturday evening near his residence in Kyanja.
Speaking on the incident in a tweet Monday, the President condemned the incident describing killers as pigs.
”Condolences on the death of the blogger, Ibrahim Tusubira aka Isma Ichuli. I condemn and treat with contempt the killing of this Ugandan by some pigs,” he said.
According to the President, ”It is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents.”
”NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter- arguments.”
The President explains that ”Killing critics shows that your position is false and you cannot out- argue an opponent.”
Why kill him if he is wrong and you are right? Killers are fake thinkers, he questions.
”They stand on false positions. Anyway, I can assure Ugandans that this criminal will be traced and punished.”
”Do you remember the Bijambiya in Masaka? Most of those suspected killers are in the courts of law today. Do you remember the Kiddawalime group? Most of them are either dead or in prison. Kiddawalime himself was among the dead.”
The President says he has sent condolences to Olaxes’ family.
”I have sent ‘mataaba’ to the family. The State House Comptroller will deliver it. Sympathy to the family of Isma. We stand with you and we shall punish the killer.”
