Why the Basiita, of all clans in Toro?

SIR — Last week I read an article in your paper about the Basiita petitioning President Yoweri Museveni to pardon John Katuramu who masterminded the murder of Charles Kijanangoma.

The group, led by the Rev. Richard Baguma, say Katuramu should be pardoned because he was “development-minded”!

What is the meaning of development if the people supposed to be helped to develop are murdered? Baguma should stop this influence-peddling.
I am a Musiita but I don’t support the idea of pardoning Katuramu.

baguma hopes to influence Museveni who is a clansmate! What has Katuramu’s deserved fate got to do with the Basiita clan?

What if the Babiito and all the bitter Batoro petitioned Museveni to have katuramu hanged at once?

Baguma’s private friendship with Katuramu should not drag the whole clan into dangerous controversy.
