Retired Major Gen Mugisha Muntu has appealed to serving former bush war fighters to build a stronger culture of responsibility and accountability for the young generation to learn from.<\/p>\n

Speaking to KFM following the death of Gen Elly Tumwine, Muntu says the deceased shall always be remembered for his courage during the war having fired the first bullet that\u00a0launched the five- year bush war that ushered in the current NRM government.<\/p>\n
