Dear Publisher first of all, i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for this work you are doing to inform Ugandans who are home and those of us Abroad. We are grateful. Me personally and many other Ugandans especially those in the Diaspora are really concerned about all these murders taking place in our country. Its giving us chills and we are getting afraid of coming home. My question is, how are people especially women supposed to feel safe in our own country? In less than one week, we are reading about women attached and killed in their homes. We also only see the arrests but we don’t read about the verdicts. What really happens to these perpetraitors or criminals?
Thank you for the feed back Lucile, your concern is legitimate and should actually be addressed by the country’s security agencies, as a news publishing company, we will raise these concerns to the appropriate security spokesperson and also promise to follow up this story and keep you informed on the whole judicial process along the way.
Thank you again
