Isma Olaxes: Museveni says Killing critics shows that ”your position is false and you cannot out- argue an opponent”

President Yoweri Museveni says that killing critics shows that ”your position is false and you cannot out-argue an opponent.”

”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,” Museveni said in a tweet Monday afternoon.

His comment follows the murder of critic, Ibrahim Tusubira alias Isma Olaxes. Olaxes was killed near his residence in Kyanja on Saturday evening. He was buried yesterday at his ancestral home in Buikwe.

However, the President says killers stand on false positions.

”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.”

According to Museveni, ”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.”
