The killing of assistant inspector general of police Andrew Felix Kaweesi has thrown the force into chaos. Mr Kaweesi, 43, was shot alongside his driver Godfrey Wambewo, and guard Kenneth Erau, at about 9.30am on Friday, a short distance away from his home in Kkulambiro, a city suburb northeast of Uganda’s capital Kampala.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kale Kayihura said whoever killed Mr Kaweesi had taken advantage of a gap in the system. He said community vigilance should be increased, which remains the best way to remain ahead of criminals.
