The Bushenyi Resident district Commissioner Peter Mugisha has spoken out about the ongoing spate of criminality within the district.
A number of people have in past month been attacked, robbed and others killed by un identified groups of armed robbers.
While meeting radio station managers within Bushenyi district at his office today, Mugisha admitted that criminality is a big problem that needs to be combated by security agencies.
He called upon the public to be vigilant and cooperate with security agencies to fight against criminals.
He added that every family should at least buy a whistle and to have contacts of all heads of security so that whatever happens in the neighborhood the information is disseminated fast.
Mugisha caution people who are misleading the public by giving false information about them, saying so far the ones behind bars are all born in and around Bushenyi.
He also called upon all media houses to help in the fight against the criminals by informing the public and giving them the right information, not inciting violence or giving false information.

Nabasa, connived with her friend one Kyomuhangyi Beatrice on 16th April who called her brother Kakuru Martin saying that his sister had been kidnapped and that a 3.5 million shillings ransom was urgently needed or else she will be killed.
Kakuru told Journalists that they immediately mobilized 3 million shillings which they sent through mobile money transfer as they alerted police.
Kakuru added that two days later his sister called and claimed that she had been released and abandoned in Lyantonde about 70 kilometres away along Mbarara-Kampala road and requested for transport which was also sent to her.
Rwizi region police spokesperson Samson Kasasira said that upon her release security launched investigations and discovered that the mobile phone numbers used in the transactions never left Kaberebere and Katete ward in Nyamitanga Division which forced police to arrest and subject her to interrogation.
