Four months after President Museveni pledged to cause the dropping of criminal charges against former Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura before the General Court Martial, the same has not yet materialised.
Sources at the Makindye-based military court told this newspaper at the weekend that they have not received any instruction to drop criminal charges against Gen Kayihura.
“From the time Gen Kayihura secured bail, he has been reporting and as court, we only extend his bail to allow him move. There are no instructions to drop the charges,” a sources said.
