Police yesterday arrested four domestic workers at home of Ronald Kibuule, the minister of state for Water and Environment over the death of his twins.

The twins, Raiding Wasswa and Roman Kato drowned at 5.30 PM in a swimming pool at the minister home at Kasenge, Mukono. They were aged two years and five months.

In a statement released today , Patrick Onyango the police spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan area said Nalubwama Scovia, 32, Nankunda Peace, Lawrence Kibaya and Kumanya Agripa to help in the investigation.

According to the statement they are being held under section 227 of the Penal Code which deals with neglect.

Yesterday a shocked Kibuule told NBS TV that: "They have been going to the pool under supervision but today their mother was away."

“It seems the care takers were reluctant and the kids went to the pool by themselves.”

He however noted that when one kid drowned, the second one could have tried to rescue the brother and both ended up in the deep waters.
