The 2022/2023 Annual Crime Report indicated that Luwero district, along with Kassanda, has been identified as a hotspot for mob justice incidents. The report noted that many victims are often suspected thieves or robbers, reflecting a community tendency to take the law into their own hands rather than relying on formal judicial processes.
The Ministry of Health, with support from WHO and other partners, is collaborating closely to strengthen outbreak control measures, which range from disease surveillance, clinical care, community engagements, and public awareness.
