President Museveni said he would consider a request by Kisoro District National Resistance (NRM) leaders to pardon former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Gen Kale Kayihura.
Museveni’s response was prompted by a request from Kisoro District LC5 chairperson, Abel Bizimana who asked the president to pardon Gen Kayihura who served as Uganda’s IGP from 2005 until 2018 when he was sacked.
Kayihura is currently facing criminal charges in the army court.
Speaking to NRM leaders and flag bearers from Kisoro district yesterday, Museveni said he is ready to talk to the General Court Martial to see what to do with the charges against the former police boss.
Museveni’s statement comes after National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential flag bearer Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, on December 16th, 2020 also promised to pardon Gen Kayihura if elected president.
