By Francis Otucu

Earlier, senior journalist and TV politica show host, Simon Kaggwa Njala tweeted that Maj. Gen. Kasirye Gwanga had been put under arrest at Mbuya.

“Breaking; Maverick Retired officer Maj. Gen Kasirye Ggwanga is reportedly under arrest at Mbuya Military barracks. I spoke to him a while ago and he confirmed although he sounded vague on the circumstances,” he tweeted.

In response, the army say the retired senior army officer is ill and admitted at an army medical facility.

“Maj Gen (Rtd) Kasirye Gwanga has been admitted to the UPDF Senior Officers Diagnostic Centre based in Mbuya. Doctors are taking care of him and there is no reason to speculate on his current whereabouts. He is not under any form of arrest,” Army spokesman, Brig. Richard Karemire tweeted.

Maj. Gen. Kasirye Gwanga has in the recent past been very vocal on issues of national importance including political leadership of this country with President Yoweri Museveni and his adviser on special operations, Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba being on maverick general’s lips.
