KEY ISSUES;

• It should be noted that, Tara Sub-county Headquarter and Tara Police Station buildings are just 2 meters close to each other as they were built on the same land.

• Malicious damage by the alleged Mad Man occurred at midnight.

• The whole of Tara Sub-county only has 4 police officers.

Tara Sub-county LC3 Chairperson Hon Obega Akwilino blamed the police officers at Tara Police Station for negligence, and he appealed for relocation of the police station to a far different place and transfer of all the police officers who are currently serving in the Sub-county.

“Most of these police officers we have here are very old and weak, therefore they can't be physically active or run when there is an emergency”, Hon Obega stated in his comment during an interview with our reporter on Monday 7-April-2025.

Resident District Commissioner for Maracha District, Hajji Ramathan Walugembe during an interview on Monday afternoon 7-April-2025, dismissed claims by some residents in the area that, the man is mad.

“Let people not deceive the public that the man is mad! He is not mad but he is just pretending”, Mr. Walugembe reiterated as he confirmed their efforts as the district security committee to prepare all the necessary files and evidences to take the man to court and answer for the crime he has committed on government facilities.

When we asked Hajji Ramathan over the appeal of the LC3 Chairperson Hon Obega who is advocating for relocation of the police station and transfer of all those police officers at the Sub-county headquarter on the claims of Negligence, the RDC who, by protocol and policy, is the head of security in the district, promised to take punitive action against any police officer whom investigation might find guilty for negligence on that fateful night when the destructions were done on those buildings.
