If You Really Want to Test Our Capacity, Be on the Wrong Side of the Law and Give Us a Chance to See if We Can Catch You” – AIGP Tom Magambo

In a bold and confident statement, AIGP Tom Magambo, the Director of the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), addressed criminals with a stern warning. During his interview on NBS Live at 9, he said, “If you really want to test our capacity, be on the wrong side of the law and give us a chance to see if we can catch you.”

This remark emphasized Magambo’s confidence in the CID’s ability to tackle crime, regardless of how sophisticated or elusive it may be. His words send a strong message to offenders, asserting that the police arecommitted and capable of bringing criminals to justice.

Magambo’s statement comes as part of his broader call for reforms within Uganda’s law enforcement agencies and a focus on improving the criminal justice system to tackle the rising crime rates, particularly in areas such as land disputes and urban crime. His leadership continues to inspire confidence in the CID’s capacity to confront and reduce crime in the country.
