“Mr. Muhwezi, I have opened a general inquiry file [GIF]after getting information from you and am sure I will get those people in case they did it” RPC said.
On the other hand the police public relations officer for greater Bushenyi Mr. Martial Tumusiime summoned this reporter to his office that he[martial] was under investigations by police headquarters already over the same case because his photo appeared on top of the story.
“I want to assure everyone that it’s not me who solicited the bribe from late Rwamutwe’s wife but only my photo was used on top of www.mknewslink.com website story because am the spokesperson of the region where the incident took place. Whoever sees the story should also read it first and get facts rather than concluding that am the thief”
