President Museveni has condemned in the strongest terms the killing of (the Assistant Inspector of Police) Andrew Felix Kaweesi by thugs riding on motorcycles.
AIGP Kaweesi was Friday shot and killed as he left his Kulambiro home.
Two of his body guards were also gunned down in the attack that took place on Friday morning.
As a consequence of the repeated murders in the city and other towns, Museveni has directed the immediate installation of cameras in all major towns of Uganda and along the highways.
“We have been planning to do this project for some time but we have been postponing it on account of other priorities like the roads and electricity,” he said.
“Since, however, these thugs think they can use this remaining gap in our otherwise robust security frame-work, I have decided and directed the Minister of Finance to work with Police to immediately close this gap.”
“Meanwhile, the security personnel and all citizens should be vigilant and on the lookout for these thugs who have made it a habit to use motorcycles to kill people.”
A number of high ranking Ugandans have recently been killed in the same gruesome manner, including Prosecutor, Joan Kagezi, Major Kigundu and a number of Sheikhs.
“If you notice such characters and especially if they are trailing a person with armed guards, you should take prompt action and challenge them,” Museveni urged.
