UPC’s Akena calls for tight gun laws, lauds Museveni on street camera installation

Must read

Uganda Peoples Congress Jimmy Akena has called for vigilance among all security agencies in the country in a bid to curb lawlessness.

Akena’s remarks come in the wake of the assassination of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Andrew Felix Kaweesi, and his bodyguard Kenneth Erau and driver Godfrey Wambewa, who were killed last Friday, March 17.

“The state should revise gun laws and tighten its security at the borders to overcome the smuggling of guns into the country,” Mr. Akena said today while addressing a press conference at UPC headquarters on Uganda House.

On behalf of UPC, Mr. Akena also sent condolences to the bereaved families. “The party sends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, the Inspector General of Police and the entire Uganda Police force,” he said.

He added: “Their professionalism, discipline and competence while serving their nation will always be remembered because we didn’t have any misunderstanding with the slain assistant inspector of police at the time he was deployed in Kampala metropolitan therefore the nation will miss them.”

The UPC supremo also lauded President Yoweri Museveni’s directive to install cameras on all major roads, saying it will help lower crime rates in the country.
