The Police and other security agencies are carrying out operations in Kampala and its suburbs to arrest idlers and law-breakers.
Several local council officials have complained that many of their residents have been arrested in this operation. How can LCs ensure that innocent people are not arrested?
- Keep records of residents in a village register.
- Issue residents with village identity cards for easy identification by security forces. Some LCs charge between sh2,500 and 5,000 for the identify cards.
- Work hand-in-hand with security forces whenever there is an operation, so that you identify your people.
- Discuss the operations with the residents and security forces to see how they can be handled without antagonising the population.
