Catherine Kusasira declines to make a statement against Kasirye Ggwanga after last week's shooting incident

Musician Catherine Kusasira declined to make a statement against retired soldier Kasirye Ggwanga after last week's shooting incident.

Police on Monday said Kusasira the singer "declined to record a statement despite several attempts by the police".

"Efforts to obtain her statement are still in place for better leads into her witnesses and facts surrounding the case. 

"We are meanwhile calling upon any other independent witnesses to the crime like bystanders or other victimized persons to come forward and assist in the investigations."

Police authorities say they are likely to seek the opinion of the DPP on whether "we can proceed without her statement or not".

Last week, Kasirye Ggwanga allegedly shot at Kusasira's car after the occupants refused to lower the loud music.

Kasirye, speaking to local media, claimed Kusasira acted in a stupid manner and she can go on and report him to the president.
