Luwero Resident District Commissioner has directed the District Police Commander to arrest brokers at police stations and outposts citing rampant extortion.


A number of people hang around police stations and outposts in the district where they act as go-betweens policemen, complainants, or relatives of accused persons.

Some of the brokers even participate in Police operations, which has prompted residents to question the police’s mode of work.

Richard Bwabye Ntulume, the Luwero Resident District Commissioner, says that he has received several complaints of extortion involving accused persons or complaints. Bwabye says that the actions of such people have tainted the Police image and they are unlawful.

Abdul Mazinga, the Luwero District Speaker says that some residents fear Police stations and end up paying brokers to help them pursue their cases.
