State Minister for Economic Monitoring Kasirivu-Atwooki Kyamanywa has survived assassination attempt by yet to be identified assailants

Minister Kasirivu says he was attacked by two masked up gunmen shooting from either sides a few minutes past midnight at Kakora village, Nyalweyo town council in Kakumiro District, a few kilometers away from his home while driving in his car from a radio campaign show Emambya FM in Kakumiro Town. His car was shot at but no occupant was injured.

“They almost finished our lives. As we were approaching my home at a swampy place, unknown people who were armed with guns opened fire on us. As gunfire raged, I told the driver to speed off and that is how we escaped unhurt. I don’t know who was behind this attack but I have informed the police. It was a miracle for me to survive,” he said.
