If government does not capture and make public executions of these kidnapers, that enterprise will grow and make uganda a total failed state.
True but the government too is full of mafia right from its head. So sad. On another issue, i deeply feel for red pepper and the journalist who were innocently rocked up when they brought breaking news about m7 and Kagame & with all that has been going on, you and I now know how accurate they were. Uganda is a real shithole country
