The Bukonzo County West Member of parliament, Hon. Godfrey Katusabe Atkins has called for an explanation from Government about what he calls unclear arrest and death in security hands of Mzee Costa Muhonja of Buhuna village, Karambi Sub County in Kasese district.
It’s alleged that on 5th January 2023, Mzee Muhonja 76, while picking his cotton in Katholhu-Nyakiyumbu Sub County, he was reportedly picked up by plain clothed suspected security operatives, drove him to Bwera police station before destined to un known place.
Hon. Katusabe says that upon receiving the information, he and others followed him up in vain until records at KCC mortuary in Kampala reportedly indicated that the body of the deceased was brought to City mortuary by security operatives from the Special Investigations Unit-Kireka on 19th Jan. 2023 but later buried a week after.
The legislator says that Government explanation should be followed by exhuming the body for a postmortem and later a decent burial paid for by the government of Uganda. Hon. Katusabe speaking…….
Mr. Ezra Tindyebwa, a reported biological son to the deceased in a phone interview said they were planning to claim the body of their daddy but under conditions, including an explanation about his death and compensation among others. Mr. Ezra speaking………
Hon. Katusabe had earlier called on security against discriminative application of the law by a section of law enforcers.
May his soul rest in peace. END.
