At around 3 pm President Yoweri Museveni made his appearance in the villages where the attacks took place including Kyambogo and Kisaka in Bukomansimbi district. Apart from mourning with the families, he gave his condolence to the family members. President Yoweri Museveni also advised the locals to jointly work with the Police by providing information concerning any form of criminality. “Issues of security cannot be for only the Police because they are far away but we need to organize ourselves first. It is reported that the some of the victims were found in a drinking place when the attackers found them there. And incidentally no one made an alarm, no rescue was made for their colleague, they didn’t defend themselves in any way. Therefore, use your phones since almost all of you have phones.”

Earlier, the Inspector General of Police Gen. Kale Kayihura visited Masaka Regional Referral Hospital where the survivors of the attack of Monday were admitted. Speaking to journalists at Masaka Regional Referral Hospital, Gen. Kayihura re-assured the general public that Police together with other security operatives were working tirelessly to end this criminality in the region. “Most of them have discharged its only one who is left, the young girl who had been referred to Mulago, unfortunately, passed away. But the others are out of danger, they didn’t have many and serious injuries. The one who is still here needs a scan, we are going to send him to Kampala for the scan but he is out of danger. We have confirmed that one of those who were killed, the 5th one before this girl was actually one who was hit by mob justice was actually one of the attackers.”
