“Gwe stubborn Irumba,cut the crap, I have been at Camp David 11 treating myself since last week after I shot myself in the foot as I tried to shoot a hyena. I’m used to using my pistol, but this time I mistakenly picked my AK- 47 and opened fire, woowoo, I felt the fire in my foot instead!”, Ggwanga told this reporter on phone.
When asked whether he sought medical attention from specialized facility, this is what he replied; “cut the crap, medicine for what? Just in the foot and you want me to go to your noisy dusty Kampala full of idiots?,to do what? I’m a marauder, I have been a soldier for 40 yrs, every medicine is in the bush, I’m in the bush, cut the crap,” he said before hanging up.
