Earlier on today, minister for external affairs Hon. Okello Oryem briefed the country on the issuea regarding Lumbuye and his future, where he advised Ugandans to concentrate on working and stop asking for Lumbuye.
"Lumbuye is alive and we have concerned parties following his case. When the right time comes, he will be brought to court and start attending to his crimes. For now, Ugandans should concentrate on working and stop asking about Lumbuye." said Hon. Oryem.
