Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni yesterday directed police to release reports on high-profile murder cases to clear the air on allegations that the government has not done enough to resolve the cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cFile from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)\u2026 has got a total of 68 cases, including these murders and many of the people [assailants] have been killed, including the Kiddawalime group,\u201d Mr Museveni said in his address to the nation last evening.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhat I will [do is] ask Grace Akullo [Director of Criminal Investigations] to give the country a brief about all these murders. Even the killing of Joan Kagezi. The killers were identified but some were abroad. They were supposed to use Interpol to look for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni\u2019s remarks follow increasing concerns about the people behind the murders, including last week\u2019s attempted assassination on the outgoing Works minister Gen Katumba Wamala.<\/p>\n

His daughter Brenda Nantongo and driver Haruna Kayondo were killed.<\/p>\n

Following the attack, Mr Museveni said he had clues to \u2018the pigs\u2019 who attacked Gen Katumba.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pigs who do not value life shot at Gen Katumba, killed his daughter and driver and injured him. Condolences on the loss of the two Ugandans. I talked to Gen. Katumba twice on the phone. He is being well-managed. We shall defeat the criminals as we did in the past. We already have clues to those killers. Besides, the new system of digital beacons …will eliminate the misuse of vehicles and boda bodas to commit crimes,\u201d Mr Museveni said<\/p>\n
