In his capacity as the head of the Catholic Church and an African, Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala knows that sending condolences to the families of the people who die is a must. So we have been told that the cardinal has sent his condolences to the family of the police officer, Assistant Inspector of Police John Bosco Ariong who died on duty last week.

But the cardinal also cautioned the government not to apportion blame for the death of AIP John Bosco Ariong. Instead, the cardinal says the death of Ariong should be blamed on poor government policies.

We hear that the cardinal said that the government has directly or indirectly played a role in widening the gap between the police and the public.

Meanwhile, the FDC leader Col. Kiiza Besigye has said that he used to know Uganda police as the most corrupt institution in Uganda but not as the most brutal and feared Force in Uganda. Besigye asked the police to get back to professionalism and leave politics to politicians.

Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala has asked the members of the police force to respect the uniform they put on and the civilians whose tax the government uses to buy policemen uniforms.

Preaching in the morning mass at Rubaga Catholic Cathedral in Kampala today, the cardinal told the policemen to respect the constitution of Uganda, other laws of Uganda, inherent human rights, Police ethics and the pips on their shoulders.

The Cardinal says that it is unholy for police offices to receive bribes, mistreat suspects, and grab peoples’ property. He says it bad for the police to put allegence to president Museveni.

Cardinal Wamala says it is better for the police to remember that allegiance is to Ugandans and not president Museveni.

 President Museveni renewed Kayihura’s contract of the Inspector General of Police in November last year week and Kayihura’s name was sent to parliament for vetting.

 We have been told that the members of parliament on parliament appoint committee chaired by Speaker Rebecca Kadaga were reportedly directed by state house to approve his contract.

 Kayihura was required to appear before the committee for questioning and approval and the MPs approved him as directed.

 Kayihura has been at the helm of Uganda Police since 2005 when he replaced General Edward Katumba Wamala as Inspector General of Police.

Kayihura is also still a serving member of UPDF, former head ofUganda’s Revenue Protection Services former commander of UPDF in Democratic Republic of Congo.
