    "We vehemently condemn this act of violence and criminality," Superintendent Onyango expressed during a press briefing. "We have mobilized our best teams to conduct a thorough investigation. Rest assured, we will not relent until the culprits are apprehended and face the full extent of the law."

    Meanwhile, the residents of Kalisizo are voicing their concerns over the escalating frequency of armed robberies in the area. Many are advocating for strengthened security measures to safeguard local businesses and the community at large.

    In response to the growing unease, local authorities have pledged to intensify security patrols and augment police presence throughout the area. Additionally, they plan to collaborate closely with mobile money service providers to enhance security protocols and raise public awareness regarding safety measures during financial transactions.

    The robbery at the Kalisizo mobile money shop serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need to address the prevailing security challenges confronting the region.
