Crime preventers who were deployed to guard the recently concluded general

elections yesterday stormed Kanara Police post in Kanara SubCounty-Kitagwenda County Kamwenge district over their delayed payments.

More than 50 crime preventers say they were duly chosen to assist police in ensuring law and order in the villages during presidential, parliamentary, and local council elections a task they fulfilled but since then they have not received their promised allowances worth Three hundred and thirty thousand (330.000) per person.

The angry crime preventers said most of them left their domestic jobs, farming, rearing of animals hoping to be paid considerable amount of money to help them in the day-today life but to their surprise their supervisors in the Police force have kept a deaf ear over the matter.

District Police Commander Johnson Kiconco Tibbs when contacted said most of the crime preventers neglected their duties after elections since in their contract they were supposed to continue working with Police.

He says they instead ran away from their working stations and were deleted them from pay roll.

Kiconco said those who persevered after elections and continued working with Police will be paid soon.

He called for patience as he is also in consultations with Police headquarters in Kampala.
