KYENJOJO- Col. Elly Kayanja has urged all Ugandans to join the hunt against the Lord's Resistance Army rebels in the north and north east of the country.
Kayanja is the Director General of Internal Security Organisation, (ISO). He made the appeal last week during the burial of late Capt. Chris Ruyonga, the Kaberamaido district internal security officer, who was killed in an LRA ambush in Soroti on September 1. He was buried at his ancestral home in Kasiina in Kyenjojo district.
Ruyonga died together with 24 others when the rebels ambushed the Gateway passenger bus at Atirir Catholic Mission in Katine sub-county.
Kayanja exalted the late Ruyonga as a patriot. "That is why he died fighting for the people of Teso yet he is a Mutooro," Kayanja said.
His burial was attended by senior regional and district security officials from various parts of the country.
