1 Mins read

The President of Uganda, HE Yoweri Museveni Kaguta has given the deputy Inspector General of Police Major General Steven Sabiiti Muzeyi two days to catch panga-wielding killers.

In a statement about the current security situation in the country, Museveni said he had been made aware of gangs attacking homes in the city using machetes and iron bars, noting that these should not worry the public.

“For today, I will only comment on the pigs that are attacking people with pangas and mitayimbwa (steel- bars) and robbing them. I have given two days to the commander Sabiiti of the police to come out with a plan to combat these gangs,” Museveni said in the statement.

The Inspector-General of Police who is in Peru for a meeting delegated his duties to his deputy Muzeyi Sabiiti.

Museveni assured the nation not to panic because these gangs are not so sophisticated and can easily be wiped out.

“These are gangs we shall easily defeat. That is what we did with the Kiddawalime gang in Masaka, the gang of Bukomero, the gang of Entebbe etc,” he added.

In the past few weeks, residents in the greater Kampala Metropolitan area have suffered at the hands of criminal gangs operating using guns, pangas and iron bars.

Museveni Statement

Fellow Ugandans and, especially, the Bazzukulu.

Greetings to all of you. I have been moving to Addis Ababa, Juba, Jinja etc. Today, I am busy with Cabinet. In a few days, I will get time to respond to your earlier responses. However, for today, I will only comment on the pigs that are attacking People with pangas and mitayimbwa (steel- bars) and robbing them.

These are gangs we shall easily defeat. That is what we did with the Kiddawalime gang in Masaka, the gang of Bukomero, the gang of Entebbe etc.

I have given 2 days to Commander Sabiiti of the Police to come out with a plan to combat these gangs. The IGP is away in Peru for a meeting. I will look at that plan, comment on it and it will, then, be communicated to all of you.

It is easy to defeat these gangs. Their crimes will only add to the credit of the NRM because we are going to defeat them.

Yet, the People have already seen the bankruptcy and the criminality of these groups and those who back them.
