A cloud of panic and uncertainty hovers above Kampala City and it’s environs as concerned Ugandan are set to march to parliament tomorrow in protest of the high rising corruption scandals taking over the 11th House.
Parliament under the leadership of Hon Annette Anita Among is on spot for orchestrating well coordinated corruption scandals which the president has decried on several occasions having lifted the lid during the State of the Nation Address last month with 5 legislators now caged inside Luzira facing corruption related cases.
Even the Speaker of parliament, her husband Eng Moses Magogo, two former Ministers for Karamoja Dr Mary Goreti Kitutu, her Husband George Kitutu, Agnes Nandutu, Minister Amos Lugolobi and His wife are sanctioned by the United Kingdom and the United States over corruption.
In a televised address to the country, president Museveni warned the protesters against making the mistake of emulating the Kenyan-like protests championed by the GenZ who have pressed president Ruto and his government to it’s knees. Museveni advised the protesters find a day, go to Kololo and vent their issues there.TrendingStarTimes Chairman Unveils Plans for African Expansion
Last week a group of voters said to be from Ssembabule district clad in yellow attires stormed parliament protesting against their Member of parliament Theodore Ssekikubo the mover of the Censure Motion accusing him of land grabbing. To everyone’s surprise, police instead just escorted the protesters and none was harmed or arrested. However the same police insists they’re no streets for protests tomorrow.
It looks like despite the high and increasing deployment of all cocktails of security bodies in Kampala, the protesters are determined to March to Parliament tomorrow to express their dissatisfaction over the veil of corruption covering the 11th parliament.
Police’s ban on the planned protests has elicited mixed reactions from several people including government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo who advised police to just embrace the youths and allow them march to parliament and they submit their petition. former New Vision boss Robert Kabushenga lashed at Police for freezing the planned protests just after allowing one in the same premises.
Speaking to media today, Bobi Wine clarified that the party he leads National Unity Platform (NUP) is not at the front of organizing tomorrow’s protests but fully supports the cause and they will join in to add their voice.
“I support them 100%, but there comes a time even when people must lead from the front or from the back and these young people are leading from the front am cheering on you and don’t be shocked to see me there but i don’t want to assume leadership of that cause. I want you the young people to march but know that am routing for you and am with you and shouldn’t be shocked to see me because am in full support”-said Bobi Wine
