In Uganda, President Museveni came up with something called Wimbledon operation. They gave amnesty and said: “If you do not come and turn in your guns by such-and-such a date, we shall consider you a militant group and deal with you militarily.” Anybody who never turned in their gun was killed. In Uganda until today, if you commit a crime using a gun or you are caught with an illegal gun, you cannot be taken to the normal court. You are court martialled because you are a soldier. When you carry a gun carelessly, you turn into a soldier. Therefore, you will need to be treated as such. I think this is our opportunity because it is happening too much. Too many Kenyans are terrified and we cannot continue living without confronting it."}
