The cold-blooded murder of Patricia Kokunda, a hardworking mobile money agent in Soroti City, is both heartbreaking and unacceptable.
On April 3, armed criminals pulled her from a taxi near Goalman Supermarket, robbed her, and shot her in a brutal act of aggravated robbery. This senseless violence has devastated her family and shaken the entire community. No one should lose their life simply for earning an honest living.
I commend the @PoliceUg , particularly the East Kyoga Region team, for their swift response. The arrest of four suspects; Okello Alex, Onego Felix, Epeu Simon, and the suspected shooter Elacu Alfred and the recovery of part of the stolen money (UGX 7 million), the victimโs phone, and the firearm are important steps toward justice.
However, this tragedy once again highlights serious concerns about the proliferation of illegal firearms and the vulnerability of mobile money operators and cash handlers across the country.
We demand that the suspects be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and that justice for Patricia and her loved ones is delivered swiftly and transparently.
Enough is enough. Ugandans deserve to live, work, and move freely without fear of such violence.
May her soul rest in eternal peace. @AigpDamulira
Most people here share a similar story of evil family members. Most people are damaged because of family but won't speak up or ask for help because apparently we must keep it as a secret because family is family. We don't hold them accountable for the evil they unleash to us as we grow๐. I'm happy that the new Generation won't take in that bullshit and is speaking up. You can meltdown all you want but the GenZ will hold you accountable. ๐
