In Masindi—

Boda boda riders in Masindi district are threatening to attack police over brutality.

This was revealed by the RDC this morning in the district covid 19 s taskforce meeting held at RDC’s premises.

Rose Kirabira Kobusinge the Resident District Commissioner – RDC Masindi alerted the COVID 19 taskforce and told them how boda boda riders are planning to attack police over brutality.

She explained that few days ago, the chairperson of boda boda riders in Masindi district informed her that fellow riders are planning to attack police.

Kirabira thus asked the district security personnel to be aware and ready for anything that might happen anytime.

Alex Otiti the District Internal Security Officer – Masindi said that he has talked to ASP Ednah Nyiraneza the acting District Police Commander Masindi on the issue of people who are violating presidential guidelines.

“Due to inadequate man power, the acting district police commander is yet to write to the army commander at Masindi artillery barracks to support us with enough man powe,” He noted.

On Friday last week, a boda boda rider was critically injured and admitted at Masindi District General Hospital after getting an accident as he escaped from police.

This forced his colleagues to storm the RDC’ office over the same issue, which seems to have yielded no fruit.

In Bushenyi—

The resigned Bushenyi Ishaka municipal Eng. Deus Nuwagaba was last week arrested and detained at Bushenyi police cells for two hours for abusing his former supervisor the town clerk David Betega

The abuses were showered to the former town clerk who is now the acting Chief Administrative Officer for Butambala district on a municipal staff whatsapp group.

Eng. Deus showered derogatory abuses to his former boss accusing him of forcing him to resign when actually the engineer tendered in his resignation willingly and was accepted by his boss.

According to a senior CID source at greater Bushenyi police station, Eng. Deus was charged with three counts; computer misuse, cyber harassment and threatening violence.

“We would have held him as a senior officer without taking him to cells but he behaved in a funny way by refusing to take a statement,” the source told www.mknewslink.com

He will be reporting to Bushenyi police station regularly to renew his bond.

Eng. Deus with other two were interdicted on the orders of the minister of local government Rapheal Magezi in March last year for extreme corruption.

The former treasurer Jackson Beyendeza was retired in public interest after conviction at anti-corruption court in Kampala and Eng. Deus resigned after pressure was mounted on him and there remains the procurement officer Roberto Nuwagira who is lonely at the work station.
