Katumba Wamala: I don’t know why they wanted to kill me

Outgoing works and transport minister Gen Edward Katumba Wamala has said he is clueless about the motive behind June 01 assassination attempt against him.

SAD! Katumba Wamala’s daughter, driver killed in Kisota Road shooting

In a statement on the Kisota Road of Bukoto-Kisaasi area shooting, the former army commander and ex-police chief said he had no idea why some people wanted him dead.

“I have no clue about the motive of this attack,” said the general.

“There was no reason to end the lives of these innocent people. May their souls rest in peace.”

I’m fighting on because of Museveni’s phone calls, says Katumba Wamala
