"We want to warn the public especially bloggers and some journalists who are spreading information about the death of Henry Katanga, a prominent businessman in Kampala. We want to assure you that the police are investigating his death. Postmortem was done but we still require evidence from ballistic and forensic experts," said police spokesperson Fred Enanga.

"So at the moment, we request the public to be patient as we wait for reports from the experts. Most of the evidence has to come from experts," he emphasised
