A KCCA veterinary officer has since been called in to examine and ascertain the cow’s condition in order to ensure its disease free.<\/p>\n
“We are in touch with all neighbouring areas to ensure that the cow is given to their rightful owner,” the OC said.<\/p>\n
Currently, KMP is at the helm of preventing animal theft especially in areas of Mattuga, Nagalama, Kasangati, Kalagi and Kakiri.<\/p>\n
The community has been able to cooperate fruitfully with the police through community policing, whereby residents in different corners of Kampala provide timely information that helps in the arrest of such suspects.<\/p>\n
