"We were not satisfied with election results and we never petitioned any where," Says Hon Kintu Musoke. He added that President Museveni called them for the meeting after they lost the elections. "I remember it was around 3:00pm we met in my house in Lungujja. We held a meeting which lasted for over six hours," he says. He added that in the morning he asked us that "we have agreed to do everything but what about if this fool Obote tries to arrest us," Hon Kintu Musoke says that President Museveni says " I will not be allowed to be arrested but I will fight him instead,". He adds that they left his home and moved away. He says three weeks later they were in Kabamba. "When they left, me, Late Kirunda Kivejjinja and Bidandi sali remained in Kampala as City guerrillas. " We kept monitoring the situation while President Museveni and the group kept fighting the bad regime. "I was arrested and taken to Mbuya and I witnessed the hacking of people to death while in prison," he revealed. He says they believed that Nature provides for every Man's needs but not greed. He says after the war in 1986, him, Kirunda and Bindani Ssali were employed in different Ministries until they retired from public service.
The Chief of Defence Forces Gen Wilson Mbusa Mbadi while giving his remarks said that UPDF has brought in democracy to every Ugandan.
