While addressing the media police spokesperson Fred Enanga said that the killing could have been avoided if the holder of the gun, PC Mulombo hadn’t left it unattended in the room they were sharing with the assailant killer PC Wabwire.
….”Our policy on the use of firearms demands that PC Mulombo should have returned the gun to the armory before moving out of the station. But without lawful permission he sneaked out of the station to attend to a personal matter which is an outright case of gross indiscipline and negligence,”he said.
According to the disciplinary police court PC Molombo has been charged with discreditable conduct and has been dismissed from the force.
Meanwhile police spokesperson Fred Enanga added that PC Mulombo is now a civilian and will be taken to the criminal court for negligence of duties as a civilian.
However police have this morning issued stringent guidelines on gun handling and use of force by all their officers and these initiatives will help improve public trust and confidence and even promote better gun handling skills and improve community safety.
