Doctors at Medipal International Hospital have revealed that former Chief of Defence Forces Gen Katumba Wamala is out of danger and recovering from bullet wounds sustained in an assassination attempt Tuesday morning.
According to the source at the hospital, doctors attending to Gen Katumba had a short briefing with the army and president Museveni’s representatives at the facility, confirming that the former Minister of Works is not in a worrying state.
In addition the Uganda People’s Defence Forces’ Spokesperson Brig Flavia Byekwaso has said the army is not yet aware why the former Chief of Defence Forces had no lead car at the time he was shot at.
Speaking outside Medipal International Hospital, Brig. Byekwaso said the Forces are aware that Gen Katumba is entitled to a lead car by him being a senior officer of the army and minister, but are equally puzzled that he did not have one at the time of the incident.
