Just days after replacing Police Chief Gen Kale Kayihura, President Yoweri Museveni has warned those behind the spate of killings of women that their days are numbered, given that the “bean weevil” that had infiltrated the Uganda Police has since been removed.
The president made the tough remark while giving a speech at International Women’s Day celebrations in Mityana.
He has promised that government is planning to buy more equipment needed to find suspected murderers.

“If you beat a woman and then put on a trouser, I don’t count you a man,”
