Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27811, member: 2262"] The lawyer for former top cop Gen. Kale Kayihura shot down internet rumors Sunday. Jet Tumwebaze called fake news and claimed his client faces money troubles. People shared pictures showing the ex-police boss walking by himself on city streets, looking sad. Tumwebaze explained what really happened behind that viral photo everyone talked about online. He spoke directly with Gen. Kale about it. The former police leader had just wrapped up talks at Kabira Country Club when he hit terrible traffic. Instead of sitting stuck, he chose to stretch his legs, walking just a few blocks toward his next planned meeting. Contrary to what folks suggested online, his protection team stayed close by the entire time. After seeing that single snapshot, many internet users spread stories calling the general "broke and hustling." These untrue claims sparked big discussions across social media platforms about what happens to public officials after they leave their jobs. Tumwebaze firmly rejected these made-up stories meant to trick people. The former police chief ran Uganda's law enforcement from 2005 until 2018. Since then, he has stayed mostly out of public view following his removal and court problems. The United States government placed restrictions on him in 2019, claiming human rights problems happened under his watch. President Museveni later forgave him officially through clemency actions taken in 2021. Even though he disappeared from politics and security work, many Ugandans still wonder about him frequently. Random guesses about his current situation pop up often online because people remember his powerful position. His attorney quickly stopped any ideas that the once-powerful police leader suffers from money problems today. Neither the general himself nor anyone close to him added further statements about these false internet stories. The photo simply caught him during a normal walk between meetings rather than showing any real troubles. [/QUOTE]
