The Police in Uganda have launched a sensitization drive aimed at educating people on how to detect and report bombs, grenades and suspicious people who may turn out to be terrorists.
This follows Sunday July 11th bomb blasts in Kampala Uganda which killed at least 74 people and another 50. The government suspects the bombs were the work of terrorists and Al-shabab of Somalia have already claimed responsibility for the Kampala bombs.
Andrew Sorowen, the Kampala Metropolitan police Commander launched the sensitization drive on Sunday in different business areas of Kampala urging people to be more cautious and to put in place security measures especially in places like markets and shopping arcades where many people congregate.
Sorowen says all people should know how to prevent bombs and also how to act when a bomb blast occurs. He says sensitizing people is the best way to ensure security since the locals will be vigilant and boost the security agencies in maintaining security against terrorist attacks.
Sorowen says people in markets, churches, shopping arcades and other places of high human concentration like schools should accept the new security measures like being checked before they enter because people who want to harm others with bombs have to be rooted out.
