Dear Vasco, the police at Entebbe were dispersed to go and find out what exactly happened and the bodies have been taken to Mulaga hospital under the pretex that the government is trying to investigate the issue and collect evidence but how many investigations have been done in this country without releasing the report. The members in Entebbe are trying to follow up what is going on, we shall keep members updated.We were told that this is a government issue and will be followed up by the government but we all know what that means.
