As Ugandans are warming up for Christmas celebrations, Uganda Police Force says there is still an existing threat environment.
It is against the above background that Police through its Deputy Spokesperson ACP Nabakka Claire has issued a couple of guidelines among them including, events organizers to seek clearance before office of Director Operations before conducting any event.
”The events managers are urged to hire, if possible, stewards to help them in the management of revelers at the event. We also urge them to Liaise with the area Police for contacts, risk and threat assessments,” says Police.
Nabakka adds, ”We appeal to the general public that they should be vigilant and security conscious. Avoid misbehaving during these events. Report any suspicious elements and incidents.”
To the musicians, Police has warned them against booking multiple shows which they may fail to honor. ”Sometimes you may not turn up or have under par results. This causes rowdiness among the revelers.”
”We pledge to continue working with all musicians, their promoters, agents and owners of venues, in secure environments, which do not present any safety risks to revelers and the public at large. All our territorial Police Commanders have been informed accordingly, to ensure no planned concerts are carried out in insecure environments,” says Nabakka.
