Twiine, a Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) officer at Parliament for three years, had on May 12 accompanied a parliamentary committee to Mbarara but returned to Kampala on May 13 after a summons for a meeting with Inspector General of Police Abas Byakagaba and Deputy James Ochaya on May 14.
The announcement was made by President Yoweri Museveni at the State Lodge in Fort Portal, following an earlier high-level Tripartite meeting in Kampala.
The opposition leader on Saturday made this call at a memorial event commemorating the late Prince Job Paul Kafeero, one of Uganda’s most celebrated singers, who passed away 18 years ago.
The mass, attended by huge crowds, included over one hundred priests.
Many Ugandans mourned his death on X.
His legacy of faith, service, and spiritual leadership has touched countless lives.
