Yesterday Democratic Party (DP) President General Norbert Mao was seen clad in UPDF uniform attire while in Gulu.
While talking to the press, Mao noted that the uniform was formally assigned to him by the army during a military training course he undertook at National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi as per provisions of Article 17 of the 1995 Uganda Constitution.
The President General condemned the wide spread rate of crimes in Gulu. He warned the Inspector General of Police Gen. Kale Kayihura that if he cannot combat the vice within one week, he (Mao) is going to issue a general call to arms so that he could launch a citizen’s patrol foe self defence.
“I’m outraged by the inability of national security organs to deal decisively with the so called “iron bar hitmen”. We can’t let our neighborhoods cringe in fear. In Gulu alone dozens of people have been maimed. Some have died. On the night IGP Kale Kayihura was in Gulu, three people were hit. Every attack is a vote of no confidence against Gen. Kale Kayihura. If the police doesn’t curb this crime wave, I will issue a general call to arms and launch a CITIZEN’S PATROL FOR SELF DEFENCE. They have one week!” Mao stated.
