The President regretted the incident attributing it to very few indiscipline soldiers“I am very sorry on behalf of NRM/NRA for the incident that happened here in 1987 and also happened in other few places.

NRA was trained as a very disciplined army from the very beginning but you still had some indisciplined elements in some cases,” he said.

President Museveni pointed out that the army will not accept any incidences which are against the people and deeply regretted the unfortunate demise of innocent civilians and apologized for it.

President Museverni made the remarks while addressing the gathering that included the families of the victims at Kabwele Secondary School grounds in Akisim village Kanyumu sub county in Kumi district after commissioning the state of the art school that is sitting on a 4 acre piece of land.
