A number of Ugandans are celebrating the US sanction imposed against Chief Military Intelligence boss, Gen Abel Kandiho.

The US Treasury Department yesterday announced its sanction on Kandiho because of his role in gross human rights abuses carried out under his watch.

In their statement, they said that military intelligence officers under Kandiho’s watch have arrested, detained, and physically abused Ugandans “due to their nationality, political views, or critique of the Ugandan government”.

The government apologists have bashed the sanctions and called for a ‘fair’ hearing while the majority are celebrating the move.

However, Daily Monitor has quoted Gen Kandiho’s response to the sanctions saying that the financial sanctions imposed on him by the US are politically motivated and inconsequential.

“I am not bothered by the so-called sanctions. I have no business with the USA. I am concentrating on my work,” he said.

Below are some of the reactions from the public;

The CMI headed by Maj. Gen. Kandiho has presided over the most vile human rights violations. They've abducted, tortured and murdered Ugandans with impunity. Financial sanctions are welcome. Just one step. #DictatorMuseveni and his cronies will account for the atrocities. pic.twitter.com/LiWmj6JTZr

Kandiho can't even subject his victims to a fair beating but wanted a fair hearing!

When my bank accounts were frozen by the Museveni Junta, I was not given a fair hearing.

Ngu I was sponsoring the opposition in Uganda (as if that is a crime)!

Now, the same regime is crying foul?! Kandiho’s victims are either maimed, missing, or dead.

.@StateDept & @SecBlinken we DEMAND for stiffer sanctions slapped on all those abusing rights of Ugandans in despot Museveni’s junta.

Financial sanctions are not enough. These perpetrators now have their assets in Uganda, China & Russia.

Major General Abel Kandiho is a criminal pic.twitter.com/KnA7Ip2pzx

Defenders of Abel Kandiho are calling his sunctions imperialism. Same Kandiho commands an army that kills citizens using imperialist equipments like guns & bullets. He has an imperialist tittle (Maj. Gen) etc. If they were using bows & arrows or spears I would've listened.

We welcome the action by the US agst Maj Gen Abel Kandiho as it sends a strong message to other security chiefs who misuse their offices to cause suffering to Ugandans bcoz of their political beliefs. 1/2https://t.co/Gwwm5nOPLI
