Speaker Among condemns rising gun violence, wants action taken

Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon Anita Among has strongly condemned the persistently escalating gun violence in the country and in equal measure directed security organs to reign in with lasting remedies.

In her eulogy message delivered to  the special sitting that had convened this afternoon to pay tribute to the late State Minister for Labour, Speaker Among tasked security organs to with immediate action address the growing tendency of gun violence.

"No one has the right to take the life of another under any circumstance and it is wrong for anyone to assume that just because they carry guns, they can kill whoever they want to eliminate," Rt Hon Among said.

She added: "Enough is enough, we need to find a solution to this problem as a nation and I call on all the law enforcement agencies to do whatever is required to bring all the culprits to book."

Speaker Among's condemnation resonates with the message issued by President Museveni who  in equal me.

Engola was killed by his body guard Wilson Sabiiti, before he turned the gun on himself in a salon in Kyanja, northeast of Kampala.

The motive behind the gruesome murder of the minister is still a subject of investigation.
