The Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) is in the final stages of arresting former presidential candidate Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde. Gen. Tumukunde was in September summoned over assault.
It is alleged that on 19/9 /021 at 5pm at Muduuma in Wakiso District, Gen. Tumukunde assaulted one Jasimwa Willy, 29, a casual labourer with “Enkoni”, accusing him of trespass on his land. It is alleged that the General further threatened more harm if he ever got Jasimwa or any other person back on this land without his permission.
According to sources, the victim was a casual labourer to a one Namusisi Betty who apparently has unresolved land dispute with Gen. Tumukunde. Against the above background, Tumukunde was summoned to respond to the allegation. However, to date, Tumukunde has not appeared in Kibuli. Addressing the media on Monday, CID spokesperson Charles Twine said: “If this (summon) is not respected we shall use other lawful means to get him (Tumukunde),” Twine said.
