Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni on Monday said, \u201cthose insulting Gen Elly Tumwine were wasting time\u201d as he eulogised the serviceman whose August 25 death has been marred by divisive rhetoric across mainstream and social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cDying at 68, Gen Elly Tumwine was very young but had achieved a lot,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The controversial army officer August 29 described by one of his daughters as \u201cunapologetically himself\u201d, succumbed to lung cancer in Nairobi, sparking debate over his double-edged legacy.<\/p>\n

On Monday, President Museveni told grievers who were mainly government officials and relatives- that Gen Tumwine who he first met in 1967 will be remembered as a resilient hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was injured badly at Bukomero but he came back and continued\u2026and has been continuing. Young people should learn from that spirit of patriotism and sacrifice,\u201d Mr Museveni said of his 1979 recruit militaristically celebrated for firing first on February 6, 1981- to start a liberation struggle that brought the Ugandan leader to power in 1986.<\/p>\n

Citing First Son and UPDF land forces commander, Lt-Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Mr Museveni, 77, urged Christianity to \u201caccommodate perpetuation through children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTumwine has not died. He is abundantly here. When you have children, you are eternal. When I die, my children will be here,\u201d he told the gathering at Kololo Grounds.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the same event, Mr Museveni had earlier appealed to Ugandans to always aim at \u201cestablishing dominion over nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf God wanted us to be in heaven, why did he bring us here? He brought us to do something- at least to improve something. What you do on earth really matters,\u201d Mr Museveni said emphasising that his guerilla\u2019s maiden discharge by Gen Tumwine manifested a \u201chand of God and efforts of man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Draped with the Ugandan flag, Gen Tumwine\u2019s casket Monday evening arrived aboard a military chopper in his ancestral Kazo District in Western Uganda- where he will be buried with military honours.<\/p>\n

Museveni: If God wanted us to be in heaven, why did He bring us here? He brought us to do something- at least to improve something. What you do on earth really matters. Dying at 68, Gen Elly Tumwine was very young but had achieved a lot. #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/CpkRRVirg9<\/p>\n

Museveni: Gen Elly Tumwine has not died. He is abundantly here. When you have children, you are eternal. Religion should find a way of accommodating perpetuation for instance through children and actions. I am already here. When I die, my children will be here. #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/oNsdVvqOVj<\/p>\n

Museveni: God created Adam [us] on a Saturday and I think- his wife a few hours later. He created Adam in His image and gave him the mandate to establish dominion over nature. Whatever you do, should be done for the glory of God. #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/zrVx30WnRv<\/p>\n

Museveni: God works in amazing ways. When Gen Elly Tumwine fired the 1st shot, we thought it was a mistake. People were angry at him saying he shouldn’t have fired. I want you non-believers to know it was God\u2019s plan for Gen Tumwine to fire first (Feb 6, 1981). #MonitorUpdates pic.twitter.com\/DzLsh8Y1W1<\/p>\n
