Former Police Chief Kayihura Denies Pardon, Attributes Acquittal to Innocence

KISORO – The former Inspector General of Police, Retired General Kale Kayihura has vehemently denied recent reports claiming he was granted a pardon for all charges against him.

Kayihura, who had been facing two counts related to the failure to protect war materials and aiding the kidnapping and repatriation of Rwandan exiles, refugees, and Ugandan citizens to Rwanda between 2012 and 2016, asserts that the charges were dropped due to his innocence. According to him, he was falsely accused by individuals pursuing their own interests.

Speaking at Shaza Playground in Kisoro Municipality during his homecoming celebration, Kayihura made these statements yesterday. The Court Martial in Kampala acquitted him of all charges in August this year, ultimately setting him free.
