The Chief of Defense forces (CDF) Gen. Katumba Wamala has defended the stay of the death penalty.
The CDF says he is in support of the death penalty especially in the army because the penalty is a preventive measure against irresponsible behavior by the Army.
This follows the increased campaign by civil society demanding that the death penalty be abolished.
In 2009 the Supreme Court ruled and declared unconstitutional the mandatory application of the death penalty.
