Thank God you are in the Diaspora as you have indicated. Here we are not. Some
of the comments you wrote were not in the Monitor Story. Allow this matter to
rest and you may reach Caleb on his Cell as of now matters are too cobwebbed to
be Undone.

Hi Majid and everyone,
I think this is one of the topics that can not be discussed on this forum. Lets
let this pass bse it is too sensitive. Alaka could have been a cousin but was
also a friend to Kazini. This is a difficult thing that we should not discuss
here. Call it cowardise or any name but you are better off using this forum for
other issues otherthan this one.
Thank you and I hope I make some sense.

Draru was fond of Gen. Kazini - cousin
Rodney Muhumuza
Kampala
Shs20,000. That is how much money Lydia Draru wanted from her cousin when she
made an unexpected visit to his Kampala office on the eve of Maj. Gen. James
Kazini’s death.
Kampala lawyer Caleb Alaka, 34, who is the only close relative of Ms Draru to
speak openly about the woman who confessed to killing the former army
commander, yesterday recalled giving her money after a quick conversation in
which she also asked him to consider joining Gen. Kazini’s legal team.
It was not the first time that Mr Alaka, who was rushing out of his Kamu Kamu
Plaza office to attend a court session in Mbarara, was being asked for money.
In the same way he had become accustomed to her wonderful impressions of Gen.
Kazini, he had also come to expect his relative’s constant requests for money.
In Mr Alaka’s evaluation of his maternal cousin, which paints the picture of a
vulnerable woman, one thing was constant about Ms Draru: a needy streak. “She
asked for money,” Mr Alaka said yesterday. “She just asked for Shs20,000. She
was happy and was in a good mood. She always asked for money whenever she met
me -- small monies, for crying out loud.”
In fact, Mr Alaka said, “I did not even ask her” why she needed the money. The
lawyer said Ms Draru was not known to have a job and probably relied on
“handouts” from friends. “I’ve failed to understand it,” he said. “She needed
Kazini more than he needed her.”
According to Mr Alaka, Ms Draru was so fond of Gen. Kazini that he was “still
shocked” she confessed to killing the man. “I could not believe it at all,” he
said. “She used to talk so highly of that man. And she was proud to be
associated with him… If she did it, I don’t know where she got the idea from.”
Concerned lover
Ms Draru was “so concerned” about the wellbeing of her lover that she asked Mr
Alaka to join his legal team after the former army commander took his case to
the Supreme Court.
Gen. Kazini had lost his appeal in the Constitutional Court, which ruled that
his trial before the Army Court Martial could go on. By the time he died, he
faced an insubordination case that could have condemned him to life in jail.
Mr Alaka recalled meeting the couple at Fairway Hotel, in Kampala, as Gen.
Kazini’s legal troubles worsened. At the bars where they went out for a drink,
sources said, Ms Draru was happy to just call her lover “James”. In her living
room, on the early morning of November 10, Gen. Kazini was found dead by
strangers alerted to her I-killed-him rants.
Offering herself as the lone killer in a domestic dispute, Ms Draru, 28, was
later arrested and immediately taken for interrogation. A Daily Monitor
reporter, who was among the first to reach the scene of crime, noted that she
did not have the look of someone who had been involved in a tragic scuffle with
a friend, and that she was so eager to tell her story. Ms Draru was on Monday
charged with Gen. Kazini’s murder and remanded to Luzira Prison.
In the days since Gen. Kazini died, the reliability of Ms Draru’s account has
been questioned by the former army chief’s family, with concerns emerging that
she may be covering up for the real killers.
Gen. Kazini’s widow, Phoebe, told Daily Monitor last week she doubted Ms Draru
could have killed Gen. Kazini without the help of a third party. “I highly
doubt that she was hit by a woman [acting alone] in that kind of way,” she
said. “I think that other people were involved, but of course with this lady.”
Police investigators have refused to cooperate with reporters about the
progress of the investigation. The Kazini family had not received a copy of the
post-mortem report by yesterday, a family source said. There were serious
questions about the weapon used to kill Gen. Kazini, and whether the
hollow-section pipe found beside his lifeless body could have inflicted the
deep cuts his head suffered.
It was still unclear if a third person present in the house when Gen. Kazini
was killed, a young woman said to be a relative of Ms Draru, witnessed the
killing. And it was not possible to confirm claims that Ms Draru had not had
access to a lawyer or relative since she was arrested.
Mr Alaka said Ms Draru was a jovial woman who “used to like hanging out a lot.
She was a typical party girl”. According to the lawyer, Ms Draru attended Arua
Public Secondary School but did not advance beyond Senior 4. After that, he
said, Ms Draru came to Kampala, where she first lived with an aunt in the
Kamwokya area before venturing out alone. Ms Draru’s Namuwongo house, in which
Gen. Kazini was killed, was at least her third since going independent.
