Editorial
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has on Sunday called for tighter coordination between local communities and the police to preserve Uganda’s peace which has been in existence for decades.
Speaking at a public rally at St. Cornelius Playground in Kalagala Village, Buikwe District, the President mentioned that the country has been transformed, with peace standing as the foundation.
He reminded the attendees that Uganda’s current stability is not by chance, but a result of deliberate efforts.
President Museveni was particularly concerned about the rise in petty but disruptive crimes in rural areas including theft of cows, chickens, crops, among other items which he said frustrate efforts toward wealth creation.
The President emphasized the use of trained police dogs, CCTV cameras, and digital number plates with embedded chips as new tools in crime fighting but warned that community involvement remains the most powerful weapon.
