MPs on the defence and internal affairs committee of Parliament today instructed the Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Aronda Nyakairima to ensure the practice is immediately stopped.

According to the committee chaired by Kigulu south MP Milton Muwuma, the deployment of soldiers to look after cattle belonging to senior UPDF officers is abuse of the army profession.

Lwemiyaga constituency MP Theodore Sekikubo also noted that some officers have gone to the extent of deploying colleagues to guard their concubines there by abandoning their official work.

Gen. Aronda condemned the act and requested the public to volunteer more information in that regard so such officers so they can be disciplined accordingly.

Speaking to journalists at parliament the member of parliament for kigulu south Milton Muwuma expressed fear that if police doesn’t expedite this case well, police will never regain the public confidence which has already been lost due to delays in carrying out investigations in cases of the vulnerable groups of people.

He adds that police’s failure to handle cases of such violent nature has forced people to take the law in their hands which he said is sometimes necessary.

Meanwhile Muwuma also condemned the act of arresting the defilement suspects and releasing them free.

He also appealed to parents to treat all young people as children whether they are their children or not.
