This is after the police and military botched the initial part of the investigation.
“The scene itself was clear because it is grassland, but initially, they mismanaged the work. They came to the scene to trace the suspects using just their eyes instead of bringing a police dog,” said Museveni on Wednesday.
“Then they piled at the scene just to gaze at it and ended up contaminating it.”
When he heard about this, Museveni says he called the team at the scene the following morning. He started passing down instructions including to bring in the police dogs.
“Imagine a man from Kampala is now the one ringing people on the ground!” he said.
“Finally, they brought a police dog which followed the assailants for 15km. It got tired and sat down, and they did not have another dog.”
Museveni says if the detectives had handled the scene properly, all the suspects would have been apprehended in a matter of hours.
About two weeks after the October 17th murder of the two British tourists who were honeymooning in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and their driver; the UPDF arrested Abdu Rashid Njovu.
They said he was the commander of the squad involved in the attack. Three other squad members were killed in a fire exchange.

![[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Yoweri Museveni is reportedly disturbed by the high number of cases of land grabbing involving officials from the State House and the Office of the President. This was revealed on Friday by Ms Phiona Barungi, the State House Special Assistant on General Duties while meeting land-grabbing victims in Luwero district. Barungi said the president had been lately overwhelmed by complaints about State House officials tormenting scores of people, especially in central Uganda. “There’s just too many complaints about State House employees,” she said. “We have become a big problem, even the president himself, who gave us these jobs is concerned… He does not know what to do.” “He sent us to serve the people but we are now serving our stomachs. It has gotten to a point where almost every state house official is involved in a land wrangle somewhere.” In a meeting held in Zirobwe village in Bukyimu sub-county in Bamunakika, Barungi said her office was being bombarded daily by helpless people. Some of these are facing death threats from powerful people. “Yesterday I had just landed from Turkey, I even was feeling sick. I found a man at the airport waiting for me,” Barungi told the meeting. “He told me that a man connected to Gen Muhoozi Kairerugaba was hunting him to kill him and take his land. When I asked around, it turned out that this man has no connection to Gen Muhoozi. He is just a serial land grabber.” In the meeting, the residents singled out a number of people who have been harassing them. These also went ahead destroying their crop gardens, and metting out all manner of violence to force them out of their land. The Minister of Lands Hon Sam Mayanja during the meeting ordered an immediate arrest of two of these land grabbers. They include Mary Babirye and Rasmus Kagaba.
