He urged government to handle the case firmly in accordance with the law and not to interfere with the justice process before the trial is concluded in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf government is to end this conflict, all the arrested should be properly investigated and they answer charges against them,\u201d said Kiyonga.<\/p>\n<p>In November, clashes broke out in Kasese between government forces and militia suspected to be loyal to the Rwenzururu kingdom and the violence claimed lives of more than 100 people including security personnel and royal guards.<\/p>\n<p>Rwenzururu King Charles Mumbere and about 100 of his royal guards and loyalists are on remand for alleged involvement in the blood-letting. <\/p>\n<p>Dr Kiyonga appealed to whoever is in hiding and was involved in the violence to come out and report to Local Council chairpersons or the Resident District Commissioner\u2019s office. \u201cWhoever was involved in these attacks should come out and reconcile.
