Prof. Ahebwa Raises Alarm Over Rising Insecurity in Nakaseke North, Calls for Urgent Government Action
NAKASEKE
The Member of Parliament for Nakaseke North, Prof. Ahebwa Wilber Manyisa, has raised concerns over increasing insecurity in the constituency, calling on security agencies to take urgent action to protect residents and restore peace.
In a letter dated November 12, 2026, addressed to the Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Ahebwa highlighted several security challenges affecting Nakaseke North, particularly the Greater Ngoma area.
He pointed out cases of murder, cattle theft, motorcycle theft and house break-ins, saying the growing insecurity has become a serious concern for residents.
The MP also reported the brutal killing of Mr James Mukombozi, a prominent businessman in Ngoma, who was allegedly attacked at his farm gate between 7pm and 8pm on November 11, 2026. According to the letter, the attackers reportedly used machetes during the incident.
Prof. Ahebwa further expressed concern over the increasing number of migrant workers, unidentified individuals and charcoal burners in the area. He noted that limited police presence in the vast cattle corridor and growing urban centres could be contributing to the security challenges.
He has called upon security agencies to take charge of the situation, investigate the reported murders and other criminal activities, and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
The legislator also urged the government to strengthen security operations in Nakaseke North to protect people’s lives and property.
His concerns come amid growing calls from residents for improved security and stronger protection against criminal activities in the area.
