Kampala Metropolitan Commander Andrew Felix Kaweesi said the Ministry of Internal Affairs had ordered Police to wipe out night businesses like prostitution that have resulted into new crimes.

 

“From the reports which police have been receiving these days, there has been an increase in crime in murders, robbery, money laundering, fire arm tracking and theft carried out of prostitution. ‘According to Ugandan constitution there is no section which legalizes prostitution and anybody involved in it is breaking the law because it’s an illegal act’’ he said.

 

Kawesi adds that intelligence shows that intruders from neighboring come in over the weekends to do prostitution hence the increased cases of robberies and murders by prostitutes.

 

This follows recent murders in Kabalagala and Top pub places where prostitutes are commonly found when one needs their service.

 

Areas that are known for prostitution which will be monitored include streets like Luwum,Top pub, Rock Bar at Speke, Hannyz on Rubaga Road, Katonga Road, Petima Hotel Kireka, New life Bar Nakulabye, Wandegeya near the market.
