Police said they were hunting for the men who were captured on the CCTV camera.<\/p>\n

In a September 6 press statement, Mr Musoke urged government through the Ministry of Security and police to address what he referred to as a national challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series of gruesome murders through stabbing started in Greater Masaka regions and it is unfortunate that day by day, it is spilling to the rest of the country. The incident in my constituency has since caused panic and tension in the entire district,\u201d Mr Musoke said.<\/p>\n

Mr Musoke said government should empower and motivate the local council I and IIs as they are the core and pivot of house monitoring and local security.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeasures in this regard should be propagated to sensitise communities on the house to house security system as it was two years before,\u201d Mr Musoke said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
