President Yoweri Museveni – the Commander in Chief of the \u00a0UPDF has this week set camp in the Karamoja sub region and parts of Eastern and North Eastern regions to meet security officials and political leaders to deal decisively with the re-insurgence of cattle-rustlers in the area .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gun wielding rustlers have been on the rampage raiding cows while at the same time killing innocent people and raping women .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni has since met\u00a0 security organs including the UPDF, Police, RDCs, ISO officers and UWA \u00a0officials over the security situation in Karamoja, Teso, Bugisu, Sebei and Kapchorwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni commended security forces in the region for their concept of a reaction force and Intelligence-led operations to curb cattle rustling including profiling suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president noted that lack of effective horizontal and vertical\u00a0 cooperation amongst security leaders in different districts\u00a0had led to the security lapses . He said that daily cattle markets must be regulated to curb crime and warned against blind deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that that fighting cattle rustlers is different from other wars. “This must be an\u00a0 intelligence led operation,\u201d he said and challenged the police to plan and use government systems including chiefs to fight crime instead of pushing for more manpower.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni referred to the size of the force at Independence! “The size of Uganda has not changed. The Uganda you are looking after is the same one handed over at Independence. They were managing huge areas with small numbers,” he noted and called for transport of forces from controlled security points<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agreed that Security roads must be made and improved, increase provisions for\u00a0 watering points for security personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
