The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
In the meantime, as we wait for the post mortem report, Police is making significant progress in developing useful leads, from witnesses, from a joint team of forensic analysts of the Police and the Government Analytical Laboratory, as well as other different sources, which, combined with the expected results of the post mortem examination, should, ultimately, establish, conclusively, the cause of, and the circumstances that led to, the death of the Hon. Nebanda.
It is, therefore, speculative and dangerous at this stage for anybody to suggest, and make public utterances as to what caused the death of the Hon Nebanda.
Accordingly, we appeal to the public to be patient, and wait for the results of the Police investigation.
Further, we strongly caution persons who, since the death of the Hon Nebanda, have been making reckless, irresponsible, misleading, unfounded, and insensitive statements in the media, as well as in public meetings, to stop this dangerous trend forthwith.
Such utterances, among other things, have the effect of interfering with, and/or undermining the integrity of the Police investigation. We wish to advise such persons that there are laws that protect Police investigations, and we shall not hesitate to take action against anybody violating these laws.
Instead, whoever has any useful information about the tragic death of the Hon Nebanda should bring to the Police to assist us in our investigation.
At this juncture, let me express appreciation to the family of the late Hon. Nebanda, as well as a number of members of the public, who have come forward, and given the Police invaluable information, in the course of our investigation.

Inspector General of Police
