Andrew Sorowen

The Metropolitan Regional Police Commander, Andrew Sorowen has said the he does not think closing bars by 10PM will be any viable solution to the security threats that Uganda faces after the recent bomb blasts that have left nearly 80 people dead and over fifty injured.

This comes after Kampala City Council proposed to come up with a by law that will make it mandatory for bars to close by 10PM up to a time when the tension that has been raised as a result of the bomb blasts has cooled down.

Sorowen has told journalists at Parliament that closing bars by 10PM will do little or nothing in counteracting the security threats that the country faces after the recent bomb blasts.

Sorrowen says it is rather advisable that at every event where big gatherings of people are expected to be there should be thorough security checks of those people such that there are few chances of terrorists using such events to kill innocent people.

He has also revealed that the cars that were retained at Kyadondo after the bomb blasts will not be realized until investigations related to the bomb blasts have been concluded though he is not aware of the time within which these investigations will be concluded.

The police recovered many vehicles after the bloody bombs. The vehicles belonged to the dead, injured and other people who ran away for dear on that fateful Sunday July 11 when they had come to Lugogo to watch the finals of the 201 FIFA World Cup.
