According to Ssenyonyi this is a serious issue that shouldn't be politicised.

His survived with bullet wounds but his daughter was killed in the chilly incident.
"Lets do the right thing. The government said that all guns were fingerprinted, why then not arrest those having them illegally?" Ssenyonyi said.
Ssenyonyi further called upon the public especially politicians to emulate the late Bbosa, whom he described as an honest leader and caring husband.
"As politicians let's be exemplary and use our offices to serve the people.Let us not disappoint them," .Ssenyonyi added.
