[00:07:38] O Warry has been killed near his home in Kampala, a police...
[00:07:42] said a worry was fatally assaulted after resist team the
[00:07:45] cranes, his club scvs said a statement, we have
[00:07:49] lost more than a player, we've lost a leader, brother and
[00:07:53] friend,
[00:07:57] well here's as far as we go to Uganda, let's head to Saras
[00:08:01] Sambati, the Kenyan journalist joining us from Nairobi,
[00:08:04] Kenya, um, Sarah, thank you for joining us on the program today
[00:08:08] and for you being willing to talk about what's going on in Uganda. I'm sure
[00:08:12] the news like this is traveled even faster than ever as far as
[00:08:16] Nairobi where you are, what are authorities really saying happened
[00:08:20] to David? well, thank you for having the
[00:08:23] show, authorities are saying that the players you putting very clearly
[00:08:27] was working home when he was confronted by arm tags, tags were
[00:08:31] harm by with the good weapons including the stones that he
[00:08:35] used they used to hitting, there was a resistance between him
[00:08:38] and so in the process the hitting with the...
[00:08:42] and they fell fell down, they grabbed mobile phone, he had some
[00:08:46] valuables before escaping, i think it took time for
[00:08:50] for him to be taken to the hospital that is now led with
[00:08:54] death because he died the following death on wednesday, it was yesterday
[00:08:58] and the news about his death spread so fast because
[00:09:02] what as you said he was known player, he had he had been playing
[00:09:06] even in Europe before he came back to to Uganda where he was
[00:09:10] playing for the the local premier
[00:09:12] league champion, so his death has
[00:09:16] really spread so far, not only in Uganda, even here in Kenya,
[00:09:20] everyone
[00:09:20] is discussing about the issue about the crime itself,
[00:09:24] indeed, and reports say that this draws attention to the violent
[00:09:28] crime in Uganda, authorities looking for suspects at this time in
[00:09:32] connection with this incident?
[00:09:35] yeah, police authorities in Uganda have said that there are good leads that they are following
[00:09:39] about the crime or the attackers, so it's a matter of... before they
[00:09:43] arrested, remember Uganda has very good uh kind of policing
[00:09:46] system the way that it will be matter of time for them to be able to
[00:09:50] arrest those who are behind the attack, the police
[00:09:54] spokesman we talked to, we had in talk today say that the
[00:09:58] are detectives on the ground who are pursuing the lead that can lead
[00:10:01] to the arrest these people are behind
[00:10:03] the the killing of
[00:10:04] mr award right uh cyrus we've
[00:10:08] heard from david's club scv what about his fan
[00:10:12] family um still waiting on them for you to understand a little
[00:10:16] bit more about who he was and the kind of person he
[00:10:20] was, what sort of character he he portray to his family for life
[00:10:24] that was... so young, yeah,
[00:10:28] because he was a bread for the family, you can imagine
[00:10:32] that being in Ugander, and this is a man was playing away, he used to
[00:10:36] earn good money where he was, he was dependent, the man was
[00:10:39] dependent by the family, the only thing they are demanding is justice, they want to
[00:10:43] ensure that those behind the attack, the fl attack of the
[00:10:47] arrested, so they are just b out and not
[00:10:51] in terms that they are not agreeing that this man is no longer the... for
[00:10:55] them to be singing or whatever right, and while
[00:10:59] there are crimes committed everywhere in the world uh, we really
[00:11:03] can't say you what's happening Uganda does not happen anywhere else, how
[00:11:07] would David's death impact on perhaps public
[00:11:10] accountability to doing something when people see crimes like this being
[00:11:14] committed, because there were ey witnesses who did see him being
[00:11:17] attacked, and and it seems like the bystander
[00:11:20] effect took over and nobody did anything about it until you...
[00:11:25] the attackers left and he was rushed to
[00:11:28] hospital, actually that's an issue everyone
[00:11:32] is facing, not only in compala even other urban areas, people whenever
[00:11:36] you are attacked by args, by standard just look at you as you
[00:11:39] struggle to fight back, now it comes out back to the
[00:11:43] individual people that whenever you see a colleague or friend and non
[00:11:47] person being attack and is crying for help, try to help as much as you
[00:11:51] can, that's being accounted to that because right now i believe
[00:11:59] It's an issue that needs to be debated by not only kampala but
[00:12:03] another urban area where they facing
[00:12:21] President Samir Hassan has called for greater.

[00:14:09] many the challenges originated beyond
[00:14:12] Africa, their impact sends riple effects
