Even in shithole countries, you dont get a whole Chief Justice issuing arrest warrants for goat thieves. It just goes to show how deep into the sewer our country hs fallen. Would you ever imagine Chief Justice Wambuzi running after after goat thieves? The prestige, respect  and dignity of our judiciary is in tatters and lies in total ruin.. When we kick out Kayibanda, we shall immediately close down the superior courts- the Court of Appeal, Constitutional Court and Supreme Court, and dismiss all the judges who sit on these courts. We will then restructure the whole judicial system, carrying out  root and branch reform to make it fit for purpose and to equip it with the prestige, respect  and credibility it currently lacks.. No judge in our reformed judicial system will be required to go after goat thieves.

Kampala: The Chief Justice of Uganda Bart Katureebe is involved in a bitter standoff with the police in Rubirizi following the theft of goats from his farm in  Kiruhura district.

Our Spies reveal that it all started last week when 4 goats were stolen  from Katureebe's farm  in Kiruhura by some goons.  Shortly after the theft  he reported the matter at police and tasked cops to look for his goats. The stolen  ended up in Rubirizi district.  During investigations two goats were recovered alive and two had already been slaughtered. Thereafter the Chief Justice ordered the Rubirizi District Police Commander  (DPC and his team to arrest the suspects, although they didn't know them. So in the process of hunting for the suspects,  the DPC and his team ended in trouble, after the Chief Justice accused of allegedly conniving with the suspects.  The situation ended up becoming very ugly for   the DPC, OC station and OC Operations, since they became the suspects  and were consequently arrested. The arrested officers include SP Dick Ayesigomwe (DPC) formerly Rubirizi Police DPC, ASP Okong  Francis formerly OC station Rubirizi and C/Asp Odong Tobia, OC Operations Rubirizi district.They are all detained at Railway Police Kampala and are  accused of neglect of duty.

 However, later the real suspects were arrested and detained at Mbarara Police Station because that was where the case had been registered. However, it turned out that the suspects don't know and have nothing whatsoever linking the officers to case. However, even after the suspects being arrested, the police officers who were arrested are still in detention. They have been denied access to the Inspector General of Police, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Criminal Investigations Directorate and all other avenues through which they would have sought intervention into the matter. Their friends have tried to move around trying to lobby the powers that be such that the police officers can be given a police bond but all their efforts have proved futile. The police officers have been in detention for week  because they were detained on Monday but all efforts to seek help from  their relatives, lawyers and families have yielded no fruits. 

However, SpyUganda has since established that the DPC  and OC station were transferred from Rubirizi district back to police headquarters pending fresh deployment. But the day they were supposed to report to their new station was when they got arrested immediately upon reporting for duty and   detained, meaning it wasn't a genuine transfer. We have also learnt that the IGP is aware of the case but has nothing much to  do since it was his deputy Maj. Gen. Sabiiti Mzee who ordered the arrest of the police officers. We have also learn that they were denied bond on grounds that the case involves VIP persons.  And the IGP himself knows that his gazetted officers are in detention because even their colleague have briefed him about the saga. Relatives and families of these police officers are now wondering if part of their mandate is to take care of the Chief Justice's farm and goats instead of attending to state duties. Besides that, the  Chief Justice has security guards at his farm, German Shepherd dogs, CCTV cameras and plus managers of his property, who are supposed to ensure security of his goats, not police officers. However, investigations into the matter are being conducted vide reference number  SD  213/2019 at CID headquarters.
