Gen. Katumba’s shooting according to witnesses was same style as all other high profile murders involving Muslim clerics, former MP Abiriga and police commanders Felix Kaweesa and Mohammad Kirumira.
Katumba Wamala is one of the most senior generals of the UPDF but who has chosen to live an ordinary life.
