Army court writes to CDF Muhoozi over pardoning Kayihura
February 11, 2021 Gen Kale Kayihura
The Army court has written to the chief of defense forces (CDF) inquiring about President Yoweri Museveni’s promise to have charges against the former police chief, Gen. Edward Kale Kayihura dropped.
General Court Martial chairperson Lt. Gen. Andrew Gutti wrote to Gen. David Muhoozi after a group of pro-Kayihura youths approached him to remind him about Museveni s promise to pardon Kayihura.
President Museveni sacked Kayihura in March 2018, and on August 24 the same year, the former police boss appeared before the seven-member panel of the General Court Martial presided over by Lt. Gen. Gutti to plead to charges of failure to protect war materials, failure to supervise police officers and abetting kidnap.
