The Attorney General and the directorate of public prosecution (DPP) have rejected proposal by some mps to enact new law to deal with increasing cases of child sacrifice.
The deputy Attorney general Fred Ruhindi and deputy DPP Amos Ngolobe told the committee on Gender, labour and social Development handling a petition on increasing child sacrifice chaired by Nakasongola woman member of parliament Magaret Komuhangi said that the available laws are capable of dealing with the offenders of child sacrifice because these cases are regarded as murder cases.
In 2012 the chairperson of Parliamentary Forum for Children, Florence Mutyabule (Namutumba Woman MP) and civil society activists petitioned parliament over the increased child sacrifice calling for anti-child sacrifice and ritual murder of children in Uganda.
The DPP Amos Ngolobe said that government should strengthen the police investigating unit with resources so as they get capacity to investigate and skills to examine cases related to human sacrifice so as cases are not lost in courts and punish the offenders in a right manner.
He however, faced tough times with the committee chairperson Magaret komuhangi who grilled him over their delays to dispose off cases related to child sacrifice which are ranging from 2006 to date.

Ngolobe defended DPP office and judiciary that case of that nature which could have been given priority are delay due to few judges to handle them in time and un willingness by witnesses to pin the offenders.

The deputy Attorney General Fred Ruhindi said that people should watch out for those in practice of human sacrifice for serious punishment to serve as a lesson for those who would have wanted to promote such practice.
