Maj. Gen. Kasirye Gwanga has shot a lorry carrying logs of trees at Kajogi, Manyi sub county in Mityana district.

Lorry registration number UAW 232K box body was loaded with logs of (criptus) trees from Manyi heading to Kampala.

Gen. Kasirye said that he can not accept those who destroyed natural forests with good tree spices and plant (Cryptus) trees to harvest them.

“They destroyed our Natural forests. Cut them down, now they can not harvest these trees. Never!” Gen. Kasirye said.

“I have to fight for our environment. No body can stop me am a general. Today I have shot tyres next time I will be on target.” He added.

Mityana residents have supported the act of Gen. Kasirye Gwanga saying that those who are growing trees on National Forest Reserve land are coming from outside their district.
