In Mbarara—
The Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire has expressed concern on the recent decision to deploy 24000 armed reserves to curb crime in the capital Kampala and Wakiso.
President Yoweri Museveni announced last week that he will be recalling, arming and deploying these reserves as LDU’s in all villages in Kampala and Wakiso, with permission to shoot on site especially armed murderers.
The president described this as the “Luweero method,” which he said will cost Shs. 57Billion and will last about one year.
Speaking to press in Mbarara on Wednesday, Minister Kahinda said he was unsure about the effectiveness of this method.
“I don’t want to say it will not help… but these kinds of murders are not something you can prevent,” he said.
“If they don’t murder Kirumira they will murder Otafiire and if not me they will come for you.”
A more effective way, Otafiire said, is trying to detect such crimes before they happen.
He believes that installing CCTV cameras and improving police technology will significantly reduce these crimes.
“What is very important is to have information about who is doing it,” he said.
Instead of arming the LDUs, Otafiire says they should be used to gather intelligence on the criminals.
President Museveni said this measure of arming LDUs is temporary and will be phased out once the city CCTV cameras are fully installed.

In Kampala—-
A 21-year-old American national, was found dead in a hostel in Entebbe.
The body of James Larkin Crow, a resident of Texas in the U.S.A was on Thursday morning found hanging from the staircase rail leading up to the entrance of the hostel building located at Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC).
Police say that the deceased was on treatment for depression.
“Close friends and relatives to the deceased told the detectives that he was depressed and was on medication which confirmed the school records that indicated the child had some anger issues related to his parents’ divorce two years back,” says the Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigire in a written statement.
The police spokesperson added that a suicide case has been opened up at Entebbe Police Station.
Crow reportedly had a history of depression and taking drugs, and that he took a lot of alcohol on the eve of his death.
Whisper Eye, an online publication, reported yesterday that the deceased’s parents allowed him to stay in Uganda and train as a volunteer animal caretaker because he was living a solitary life while in the US.
When asked about the claims, the assistant CID officer at Entebbe Police Station, Richard Anvuko, said: “We are still receiving information to clarify and back up those claims of alcoholism and depression.”
UWEC spokesperson Isaac Mujaasi said the deceased was in a jovial mood and shared light moments with a friend in the centre’s restaurant on the eve of his death.
The burden of depression and other mental health conditions is on the rise globally. A World Health Assembly resolution passed in May 2013 called for a comprehensive, coordinated response to mental disorders at country level.

GRAVITY BENDS LOW, AS HE APOLOGIZES TO NAVIO OVER ‘BLACK PANTHER’ SONG
Struggling Uga Luga-flow rapper Gravity Omutujju has come out and apologized to fellow rapper Navio following his ‘Black Panther‘ diss song.

In his ‘Black Panther’ song which was a reply to ‘Who Is Who’, Gravity in his usual rap trademark fast rough style was so quick to attack Navio as he dissed him that at his age he still receives support from his mother.
In the song he did not only rip apart Navio, no. He also bundled up GNLZamba and Babaluku.
When he attacked Zamba he simply had little diss about him as he only hinted that he ran to Europe in fear of stiff competition. For Babaluku he only knows how to teach youths how to get married to whites and after steal their property and money.

But it always came to Navio he unleashed the real Black Panther in him as said that even getting a child and getting married if it was not the support of his mother the dude would have not done anything.
