Kazo district local councils induction is underway and will run for 3 days. Councillors are being equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively perform their responsibilities. The induction is facilitated by @MoLGUganda in the district council hall. @TinyefuzaO

As I communicated earlier, the IGP @igp_ug1 is in Kazo today to get a firsthand assessment of the security situation and engage the local security leadership on the measures needed going forward.

Following my submission on the Floor of @Parliament_Ug on 29 September, where I raised the tragic murders that have claimed the lives of our people, including women and children, and left many families living in fear, I have continued to engage and follow up with key stakeholders within our security apparatus. I am therefore glad to report that the Inspector General of @PoliceUg , @igp_ug1 , and his team have now come on the ground to assess the situation firsthand. They have also held a meeting with district stakeholders and the security teams on the ground at Kazo Conference Hall. We now expect firm and thorough investigations, the arrest of those responsible, and visible security measures to protect residents in the affected communities, particularly Nkungu, Buremba, Kanoni, Kazo Sub-county, Kazo Town Council and Engari Sub-county. The safety and security of the people of Kazo remains my foremost responsibility. I will continue following up on this matter until our families can once again live and sleep without fear. @978KazoFM ,@KazoDLG ,@HonWitonze ,@MODVA_UPDF ,@mkainerugaba ,@cdfupdf , @mkituuma @DailyMonitor ,@newvisionwire ,@NBSBreakingNews ,@ntvuganda ,@ubctvuganda

Following a concerning rise in homicide cases in Kazo District, the Inspector General of Police, Byakagaba Abas, is today in the district to assess the security situation, engage with local security leaders, and provide further guidance on strengthening security measures.

I have engaged the IGP @igp_ug1, who is coming to the ground to assess the situation and oversee the response. Please get in touch with him directly, and be assured that the necessary measures are being taken to address the situation. Thank you.

Following acts of murder of innocent people in Kazo & Ibanda at night by unknown criminals gangs in a scripted pattern, @PoliceUg must carry out special operations without delay. I headed such operations in the greater Kibale district following the so called “abafuruki” murders following local government elections in 2006, Kyanamukaka murders in Masaka in 2008, & other bijjambiya murders in Buddu. The police operations must be intelligence-led, community policing focused and crime investigations intentional. One week is enough to arrest all these washenzi & permanently establish an operational system based on mobilization, sensitization & education of people. Police counter numbers must be shared with the residents. Motorcycle squads of about 4 must be ready to react to incidents at all police stations, & a motorized patrol system put in place. The fear of crime in the minds of people must be conquered so that people can resume their normal way of life. I come in peace.

Sad News Again, More Murders in Kazo! The death toll has now reached 14 people with murder of one 37 year old Amos Nuwagira of Bwizi Buremba. The victim was butchered last night and his motocycle taken At this rate UPDF should reinforce police. This is too much and it seems getting out of hand. The people of Kazo deserve protection from the state. How many more people should be killed for serious action to be taken? @MODVA_UPDF ,@PoliceUg , @KagutaMuseveni , @mkainerugaba , @mkituuma , @igp_ug1 , @KamuntuProf , @HonWitonze , @KiryowaKk , @AkifezaGrace , @Tom_Magambo , @cdfupdf come to our rescue!

Nyabuhikye–Kikyenkye Gravity Flow Scheme: Another White Elephant? In 2018, @GovUganda launched the UGX21 billion project to provide water to over 135,000 people in parts of Ibanda and Kazo Districts. Eight years later, the project is incomplete, all we see are abandoned tanks at kanoni subcounty headquarters serving no purpose without pipes, just being vandalised . Taxpayers money was spent but the people got empty abandoned tanks! On 3 January 2024, in our meeting with H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni , in Rwakitura, the President directly called PSST Dr @rggoobi and Minister of State for Water @HonSekindi Aisha, who committed to resolve the matter. But todate, Kazo still has no water. The President said he did not want to “mock the people of Kazo” — “Tindikwenda kunegura abantu ba Kazo ameizi.” So what is stopping the @min_waterUg from delivering on this project? Who is accountable for this failure? And where is the value for taxpayers’ UGX21 billion? Why are the people at Ministry of Water undermining the President? And whose interests are they serving? And most importantly why would a single project take 8 years without being completed? The people of Kazo deserve answers—and water!

Our area MPs, @DanKimosho & @mollykamukama , joined LC5 Chairman Rev. Samuel Katugunda, RISO, RPC Rwizi region & the RDC’s office for a security meeting at St. Catherine Girls SS, Kazo town council. These leaders called for stronger action to address insecurity in the district.

Earlier today, myself, Hon @mollykamukama , RDC, DISO, @KazoDLG leadership and the Regional Police Commander of Rwizi held a thorough security meeting at St. Catherine Secondary School, Kazo. We had an in depth discussion regarding the serious security situation in our district, particularly the wave of rampant murders that have claimed the lives of over ten persons within the short space of one month. We have had frank and detailed deliberations on the nature of these killings, the challenges facing our security agencies, and the urgent measures required to restore peace and protect the lives of our people. As the area MP for Kazo County, I am deeply concerned by this continued loss of life. I remain fully committed to working closely with the district leadership, the @PoliceUg and all relevant security organs to ensure that investigations are expedited, the perpetrators are brought to justice, and decisive actions are taken to end this tragedy once and for all. The safety and security of the people of Kazo is my top priority. I shall continue to engage higher authorities and push for stronger interventions until our communities can once again live free from fear. I call upon all residents of Kazo District to remain vigilant, cooperate fully with security agencies, and report any suspicious activities promptly. Together, we shall overcome this challenge. @PoliceUg ,@cdfupdf ,@MODVA_UPDF ,@KagutaMuseveni ,@mkainerugaba,

My presentation on the floor of @Parliament_Ug regarding the rampant murders in Kazo District that have claimed ten lives in a space of one month. I have no doubt that our security agencies working closely with us the leaders and the communities, will handle the situation.
