Police blocks opposition female legislators from taking their petetion to internal affairs minister, arrests them.

The Police have this morning brutally arrested a section of female Members of Parliament outside Parliament’s main gate as they moved to deliver a petition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in protest against the violence by security agencies.

This is in light of the near killing of the National Unity Platform MP from Buvuma, Hon Suzan Mugabi, as the police and the UPDF broke up her belated International Women’s Day event.

The police, commanded by RDCs/RCCs have done the same in Soroti, Ngora, Kasese, Mityana, Kiboga and Wakiso districts.

Hon Mathias Mpuuga the Leader of Opposition told the Parliament of Uganda on Tuesday, "we are not taking in anymore of this. The time for entertaining the regime operatives’ nonsense is over."

We now move to get our Members; Joan Namutaawe (Masaka District), Juliet Kakande (Masaka City), Betty Ethel Naluyima (Wakiso), Joyce Bagala (Mityana), Manjeri Kyebakutika (Jinja City), Nyakato Asinansi (Hoima City), Florence Kabugho (Kasese), Stella Isodo Apolot (Ngora), Helen Nakimuli (Kalangala), Hanifah Nabukeera (Mukono) and Joan Acom Alobo (Soroti City) out of the dungeons of CPS Kampala.
