Evans Ocheng, one of Maj Gen Matayo Kyaligonza’s lawyers said that his client had come to tell his side of story to police.
“The IGP wanted to interact with him and they had an interaction. He has given his side and that is it. Just an interaction when there’s something and the police wants you to give them your part of the story, you give it.”
He however, denied statements arising from public describing his client as an undisciplined and violent person.
“For me I know he is a calm man and very respectable man.”
It still remains unclear whether Maj Gen Matayo Kyaligonza will be prosecuted in courts of law regarding his conduct against a traffic police office on duty.
