President Yoweri Museveni has described the individuals behind the killing of Isma Olaxes as faje thinkers who stand on false positions they cannot defend.
A vocal critic, Isma Olaxes whose real names are Ibrahim Tusubira was shot dead near his home in Kyanja and was buried on Sunday at his ancestral home in Buikwe District. The shooter remains unknown pending investigations by security agencies.
In a condolence message, President Museveni condemns the murder of Isma but also downplays the murder of critics saying it is a fake ideology to kill unarmed opponents. He assured Ugandans that Isma’s killer will be traced and punished. Bellow is President Museveni’s condolence message.
Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu,
Condolences on the death of the blogger, Ibrahim Tusubira aka Isma Ichuli. I condemn and treat with contempt the killing of this Ugandan by some pigs. It is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents. NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter- arguments.
Killing critics shows that your position is false and you cannot out- argue an opponent. Why kill him if he is wrong and you are right? Killers are fake thinkers. They stand on false positions. Anyway, I can assure Ugandans that this criminal will be traced and punished.
Do you remember the Bijambiya in Masaka? Most of those suspected killers are in the courts of law today. Do you remember the Kiddawalime group? Most of them are either dead or in prison. Kiddawalime himself was among the dead.
I have sent ‘mataaba’ to the family. The State House Comptroller will deliver it. Sympathy to the family of Isma. We stand with you and we shall punish the killer.
