Jet Tumwebaze, a Senior Counsel at Kampala Associated Advocates – the legal representatives of embattled General Kale Kayihura has told the media that his client is not in a cell as the reported.

“General Kale is a military officer. He is in a house in a military barracks. He has access to his family, lawyers, television and newspapers. He is not under arrest as you the media are reporting,” he added.

Tumwebaze also revealed that Kayihura has neither been charged with any crime nor interrogated adding that he has had only two meetings on Wednesday and Thursday last week respectively.

“The media, especially mainstream media has been coming up with screaming headlines every day. The media has charged Kale with about 21 counts already. They have tried him and passed their own judgement. This is breaking the profession. People are going to stop reading newspapers,” he noted.

Kayihura’s lawyer also clarified that no gun, money, was found at Kale Kayihura’s house in Muyenga during the CMI search.

“I was involved in the search and I can tell you for a fact that no gun was found. They found uniforms and other things you’d expect to find in a General’s house. The only guns found on him were those assigned to him as a General in the army and even those were at his farm home in Kashagama and it was him (Kale) who insisted that he comes with them to Makindye the day he was summoned.

“The media stories of a gun linked to some killings are just malicious. How can a gun be found today and without ballistics tests done be linked to a murder? This is absurd.”

Kayihura was picked in a military helicopter last week for a meeting with the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. David Muhoozi and has since been in detention at the Makindye Military Barracks.

According to his lawyers, a military General being in a barracks is like a Bishop being in a convent.
