According to eye witnesses, Kasirye arrived amidst the confusion and also asked the driver of Kusasira’s vehicle to turn down the loud music. The driver reportedly ignored him, saying he wasn’t above the law and that there was nothing he could do.
Gwanga allegedly ordered his bodyguard to bring his AK-47 rifle from the vehicle and shot at the tyres of Kusasira’s vehicle. Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, says police was immediately called to the scene.
“Police was called. They visited the scene and the case was registered under SD reference 107/29/1/2019. Investigations are ongoing,” Onyango said.
Gwanga advised ‘stupid’ Kusasira to go and report him to Museveni. Gwanga said he shot at Kusasira’s vehicle because she “acted with stupidity” when he tried to talk to her and instead just started shouting at him.
The general isn’t new to shooting controversy. In 2013, Gwanga threatened to shoot police officers when they stormed the farm of his junior brother Angelo Kasirye to allegedly exhume the remains of Livingston Lubega who was reportedly buried there.
Lubega reportedly disappeared in 1985. Gwanga pitched camp in the farm with his AK-47 rifle and threatened to shoot the officers should they fail to find the remains. Some bones were recovered from the farm.
The same year, Gwanga was involved in a fierce verbal exchange with the late former Kampala Metropolitan Police commander, Andrew Felix Kaweesi for attempting to evict him from his Makindye residence in Kizungu Zone.

Kasirye Ggwanga pitched camp in his compound with an AK-47 rifle and pistol threatening to shoot whoever dare step foot in his compound. In 2017, Gwanga burnt down a tractor found on his land in Lweza. He threatened to shoot dead the driver of the tractor who he accused of attempting to grab his land.
