UPDF decline to finger-print guns Friday February 26 2021 Summary The acting Director of Forensic Services, SP Andrew Mubiru, recently said the ballistic database system had enabled police link firearms to 156 different crimes across the country since finger-printing of guns started in late 2018. Advertisement The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) have not embarked on finger-printing guns nearly 32 months after President Museveni in his capacity as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, ordered all firearms to be forensically recorded. Gen Museveni issued the directive in June 2018 following a spate of killings in which shooters on motorbikes gunned down high-profile citizens and fled without trace.
