Major General Muzeyi Sabiiti given two days to find solution for criminal gangs

This has come at a time when every Ugandan walks with their hearts in their hands because the criminal gangs had taken a chance of laxity in police plus connivance to do dirty among Ugandans.

Now, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, in his usual weekly posts on social media, he has breathed hope into many people by directing the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Major General Muzeyi Sabiiti, to come up with a plan in two days to wipe out criminal gangs.

Well, this is a decree. As it is a decree works effectively because the Authority carries the blame in case it backfires. Now, if Ugandans are killed again Major General Muzeyi Sabiiti and his officers, who are allegedly and reportedly conive with criminal gangs, will shoulder the public wrath or rage.

Now, this is President’s write up unedited:   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.
