Vice President Jessica Alupo has said the government will do all it takes to secure Ugandans and their property.
The VP made the remarks while visiting a survivor of Monday’s bomb blast on a western Uganda bond bus.
“I do pass on my sympathies to all those who have lost their loved ones in these bomb attacks. We will make sure we defeat all those who are killing our people,” she re-emphasized. “We will do all it takes, to secure all Ugandans and people and their property, in this country,” she added.
She said terrorists who attacked Uganda, in two different bomb blasts, are cowards, and will all be defeated.
“These are cowards, and we will make sure that they are defeated; to ensure that the country remains secure,” the VP said in a statement Tuesday.
Adrian Kwetegyereza, whom the VP had gone to visit at Nsambya Hospital is one of the victims of the second bomb attack and he is the acting Regional Police Commander of Greater Bushenyi, survived the bomb attack, alongside 37 other passengers, when a bus belonging to Swift Safaris Bus Company, under Registration Number UAU 989T, was attacked, Monday evening.
Kwetegyereza sustained a double fracture in the right leg and was set for operation today morning.
Kwetegyereza, at the time of the bomb attack, was on his way to his upcountry home in Bushenyi, from the Police HeadQuarters in Kampala. The Vice President also offered financial support to the family, footing some of their medical bills.
The bus attack took place hours after terrorists claimed responsibility for a bombing at a pork joint in Komamboga, a Kampala city suburb.
