The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons says it has retrieved thousands of guns and quantities of ammunition since the declaration of a nationwide gun amnesty on December 1, 2025, aimed at reducing the proliferation of illegal weapons and gun-related violence. Speaking on JoyNews’ News Desk, the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Dr Adam Bonaa, said the response to the amnesty has been encouraging, with just 15 days left before the grace period expires. “With just 15 days to the deadline, a number of these weapons have been surrendered and there are more to recover,” Dr. Bonaa stated.
