Amin has been out of power for more than 25 years, what have you done to
bring him to justice in all those cases you have against him? You are
praising Museveni but remember Gen Mustafa Adrisi who was a Minister of
defence of Amin is Museveni's special advisor. So what is it that you know
that we do not know and NRM has failed to know yet?
