Maj. Gen. (retired) Kasirye Ggwanga has moments ago spoken to this website saying he is at the army headquarters to handle over soldiers who were deployed at his home.
Ggwanga, a controversial and belligerent soldier says he is being forced to attend to a medical examination because “they think I am sick. I am not.”
The UPDF administration through its spokesperson Brig. Richard Karemire had earlier told TrumpetNews that Ggwanga was admitted at UPDF Senior Officers Diagnostic Centre, at the headquarters in Mbuya.
“I have returned these guards, I am retired and I don’t need them at my home. My dogs and a knife are enough,” Ggwanga told this website.
Adding: “Everyone says I am arrested. I am not.”
Asked if he was ill as per Kiremire’s statement, Gwanga said that the army thinks that he is sick having been hospitalized and put on a life support machine sometime back.
“Because of those machines now they think I have a problem.”
Asked why he would return the soldier deployed at his home, Ggwanga said because of the coronavirus he doesn’t want a congestion at his residence and he also fears these soldiers could bring him the disease.
To prove that he is in stable condition, Ggwanga asked us to talk to his doctor only identified as Maj. Gen. Musinguzi who reaffirmed that he is ok.
“He is here for medical check up just that,” Musinguzi said.
