Speaking to journalists on Monday evening, Kayunga District Police Commander Moses Willy said the force is ready to apprehend who ever intends to disturb the peace of the mourners.
“I am warning whoever is planning to come here with the aim of stealing; we shall arrest them and they shall face the law,” he said.
Several high profile individuals are expected to attend Semwanga’s burial and as a result, thieves will be targeting to steal their valuables from them as they mourn their colleague.
