President Yoweri Museveni who is also the commander in chief of the UPDF has reappointed Lt Gen Andrew Gutti as the chairman of the General Court Martial.

“Congratulations to Lt Gen Andrew Gutii and team for being reappointed by the High Command to the UPDF General Court Martial,” Brig Richard Karemire tweeted on Tuesday.

Kayihura is being held at Makindye military barracks, he has not been brought to court, and no charges have been preferred against him yet.
