Hon. Godfrey Kabyanga, the State Minister for National Guidance has guided against the proposal by the popular G8 in Bukonzo County West for a curfew in the constituency following last week’s attack by suspected ADF remnants on Mpondwe Community secondary school in Kasese district.
The meeting that included chairpersons for local council ones, twos, threes and other related offices held at St. John’s Kyogha Church of Uganda, was mainly to ponder about a lasting solution against insecurity.
Hon Kabyanga who asked the Resident District Commissioner not to table the proposal in any security meeting, said curfew is a last resort that government advocate for when the situation goes extreme.
He observed that the situation in the constituency hadn’t called for a curfew that would on the other side give the enemy the strength to boast and operate freely. Hon Kabyanga speaking……..
Lt. Alex Aryatuhwera, the political commissar at the fifth mountain Battalion largely blames the situation at Mpondwe-Lhubiriha secondary school to communication gaps that first pointed at a strike and a fight by Boda-boda riders.
He was also disappointed that some politicians in Kasese were pointing fingers and promoting blame games than joining security for a lasting solution.
