ASSAULT and defilement top the crime list in Kitgum district, the Police have said.
The district Police chief, Titus Khauka, on Tuesday said 40 cases of assault and 10 of defilement were reported at Kitgum Police Station in March.
Correction
IN our Wednesday story titled ‘LRA talks’, we reported that the Belgium Embassy had issued a statement quoting the President of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, as welcoming efforts by Uganda to find a peaceful settlement to the northern conflict. The true position is that the statement was issued by Uganda’s Embassy in Belgium. We regret any inconvenience caused.
