'Obote not responsible for murders'
Former Ugandan President Milton Obote
The Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) says its President General now exiled in
Lusaka Zambia cannot be held responsible for the murders that occurred in
Luweero in the 1980’s.
A new report from the America based Human Rights Organisation, Human Rights
Watch names Milton Obote among leaders who should be brought to justice for
crimes they committed during their leadership.
While addressing a press conference on Wednesday, the Presidential Policy
Commission Chairman Dr. James Rwanyarare said while he cannot obstruct anyone
from taking Obote to trial, he is sure that it’s President Museveni’s rebels
who should be held responsible.
He called on Ugandans to support the UPC into power saying it will express the
rule of law to rebuild the country.
He says the movement government has not expressed the rule of law because it
uses its powers to deny it’s citizens rights and freedoms provided in the
constitution.
