Police have identified the black spots in Kampala which everyone must be scared of at night and in morning hours. They include Mawanda Road, Northern By Pass, along Nakivubo Channel, Nakulabye, Bwaise, Nateete, Ntinda Stretcher, among others.

The police have been sensitising the public and it is considering deployment after marking the black spots.

In Kampala Central division, the police are using CCTV motor vehicles which help to monitor the city; this is according to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, Ibin Senkumbi.

Senkumbi says that the black spots are not permanent and when Police identify one, the thugs shift their attention to another area. Many people have lost their lives in these named black spots. Like Dirisa Rwelekera, a 36- year-old boda boda cyclist, he is now lying in Mulago Hospital with severe head injuries, because two men hit him on the head with an object he believes was a hammer.

Rwelekera says the two unidentified men found him in Makindye division in Kampala and asked him to ride them to Nyanama, another Kampala suburb, where he later met his fate.

The two hit-men rode away with his motorcycle and all his belongs which were in the pockets. The police say that most thugs in Kampala are market vendors, motorcycle riders and unemployed youth.

During last Thursday’s meeting NRM MPs were divided over exonerating Tumusiime Mutebile for his role in the 142 billion shillings compensation to city businessman Hassan Bassajjabalaba.

The NRM MPs argued that they would not accept to be swayed by the president and would stick to the parliament’s recommendation that Mutebile be personally held liable for his commissions and omissions in the Basajjabalaba saga.

Museveni on Thursday pleaded with MPs to spare Mutebile reasoning that while Mutebile erred in not consulting, he technically committed no offence under Ugandan laws.

Museveni says that whereas Mutebile never consulted him before making the commitments, the MPs need to save him for the sake of the economy. Museveni says that Mutebile has for a long time been without blemish so the MPs should spare him.
