Netters,
This is serious miscarriage of
Justice.
"THE UPDF field
court martial on Friday sentenced a soldier to death by firing squad after he
was found guilty of cowardice and failure to execute his duties."
He is said to have committed the offence when he
failed to respond to information that LRA had attacked a village and because he
did not respopnd to this information, LRA executed 8 civilians. His defence is
that his brief was to guard the students and
the internally displaced persons at Uganda College of Commerce.
Is right to say the failure to respond
constituted cowardice? Is it right to say that failure to respond to a
situation outside once immediate duty constitute neglect of duty? What
would have happened if Pimundu took his soldiers to this village and the LRA
came and butchered the students in Uganda College of Commerce and the IDP
camps as they did in Kichwamba precisely because those who were to guard the
students were not at their post? Would he not be also accused of neglect of
duties?
What happened to those soldiers who abandoned their
post at Kichwamba Technical School, were they also executed by firing squad? Why
now Pimundu?
Can the death of 8 civilians be the necessary
result of Pimundu nor responding or the LRA would have executed them anyway as
is their wont?
