Speaking during an interview with Sanyuka TV, Kinene responded to claims that have continued to circulate, particularly those surrounding the removal of the name Ali Ssenyomo from the casket when Ssemwanga’s body arrived in Uganda.
According to Kinene, Ali Ssenyomo was a name used for Ivan Ssemwanga in South Africa. He explained that the name was removed from the casket upon arrival in Uganda because it had to be replaced with Ssemwanga’s actual name.
Kinene also addressed questions raised by Kaggwa, arguing that tracking someone in South Africa using a name alone would be difficult because identification is primarily done through an identification number.
He maintained that without the relevant identification details, tracing a person’s whereabouts in South Africa would not be straightforward.
His remarks come amid renewed public discussion about Ssemwanga’s death and the circumstances surrounding the identification of his body before burial.
Despite the questions and claims that have emerged over the years, Kinene maintained that the person laid to rest was indeed his brother, Ivan Ssemwanga.
