Members of People' Rights and forum for development Kabarole District have received an out cry from the local citizens about the issue of insecurity in the sub county of Mugusu Kabarole District .
"We have received many business people complaining being stolen and robbed of their goods from their shops at night, and local citizens who reported the case at Mugusu police station took a step and asked the police officers whether they are always on night duty when ever their shops are broken and goods robbed , local citizens wondered if the police officers have a hand in doing this but as a forum we are now working closely with the police investing the issue and soon we shall find out who does this." Said Mr Mukwano Ssenyonjo leader of the Forum.
Mukwano adds the work of advocacy forums through physical meetings and
radio talkshows has motivated,
informed, unified and contributed towards
desirable change in service
delivery and accountability in the districts
of Rwenzori Region.
"There is a lot of insecurity in
Mugusu Sub-county, people's retail shops are routed everyday and now business people have resorted to sleeping in their shops to guard their goods, we wonder what is the duty and work of a police officer who is always on duty at night with his gun. The robbing is always done when the police officers are
on duty every-night, but as a forum we have reported the issue to the district
leaders and the concerned leaders from Kabarole District are investing this issue ". Said Tibenda Stephen the Secretary of People' Rights and forum for development , Kabarole District.
