Today we name Gen Caleb Akandwanaho Salim Saleh Oriba as the man given orders by his half brother Gen Yoweri Museveni to eliminate Dr Andrew Kayiira in March 1987.
Since I left Uganda in March 1987, I have asked questions and received no replies about who attacked my house and killed Dr Lutakome Andrew Kayiira 27 years ago. I have travelled the world over to talk to those I believe were and are still in the know about what actually took place that fateful day. I have committed my life to leave no stone unturned until I got the answers.
Many have come to me and offered what they thought they knew about the attack. My research discounted their tales. They spoke of the attack being carried out by now Brig Kasirye Ggwanga helped by the late Drago Nyanzi. Others have told me it was Gen David Sejusa ‘aka’ Tinyefuza who organised the attack. Again my research could not prove without doubt that these people had anything to do with Kayiira’s murder.
I helped the former Democratic Party Secretary General Francis Bwengye write a book about what happened. At the time of helping Bwengye write that book, we relied mostly on hearsay. This is therefore the first time that I have spoken to a person who was at the centre of operations in the then National Resistance Army (NRA) which has since become the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces.
