The number of people being gunned down in Kampala and some other parts of the country is steadily increasing, an indicator of laxity in the country’s security.
In May 2017, government, in an effort to reduce prevailing gun-related crime rate, registered 274 firearms in civilian hands.
This year, the Minister of Planning David Bahati told parliament that gun taxes were to increase from a threshold of Shs150,000 to Shs2 million to an extended threshold of up to Shs5 million.
