Museveni: Urban terrorism, crime is much easier to defeat
“It is just a question of three elements: vigilance of the people, quick response of the Police and technology. With technology, things will be much simpler,” he said.
President Yoweri Museveni has affirmed that it’s very easy to defeat urban terrorism and crime as long as vigilance, police quick response and technology are in place.
In his Thursday Facebook statement concerning security, Museveni said his government managed to defeat rural based terrorism which was much more serious so it will be much easier to deal with urban terrorism.
“It is just a question of three elements: vigilance of the people, quick response of the Police and technology. With technology, things will be much simpler,” he said.
Adding, “As you may have been reading in some of the papers, the People and the Security forces have launched a limited counter-offensive against the criminals that have been robbing and terrorizing some parts of the country. I call this counter- offensive limited because we are still using the traditional police methods of relying on human intelligence (eye- witnesses, finger prints etc). We are in the process of developing the electronic means and other means of fighting crime that I outlined in my speech to Parliament on the June 20, 2018,”
