In the wake of the cold blooded murder of Police spokesperson Andrew Felix Kaweesi together with his bodyguard and driver, President Yoweri Museveni has come out to strongly condemn the act and propose a number of interventions going forward.
Museveni yesterday expressed anger over the growing number of well coordinated murders carried out on bodaboda motorcycles.
The president as a result, ordered for the immediate installation of cameras in all major towns and along highways.
He said he gave a directive to the Ministry of Finance to work with Police to immediately close what he called the remaining gap in the already robust security framework.
In the meantime however, Museveni urged security officers and the rest of Ugandans to remain vigilant and to take appropriate action when necessary, including confronting the criminals when they spot them.
Through his twitter account, the president advised; “Security personnel and all citizens should be on the lookout for these thugs who have made it a habit to use motorcycles to kill people.”
“If you notice such characters and especially if they are trailing a person with armed guards, you should take prompt action and challenge them.”
The President proceeded to reassure the country that security of person and property of all citizens will be guarded at all costs and promised that all the culprits would be brought to book.
