Democratic Party member Jude Mbabali has filed a petition at the office of the inspector General of Government demanding for the arrest of the newly appointed vice president of the republic of Uganda Edward Sekandi .

Mbabali accuses Sekandi of abusing his office during the election campaign for Bukoto north parliamentary seat in which he used government vehicles and fuel. During a press briefing at their Democratic Party headquarters in Kampala, Mbabali said he has video evidence to prove his case.

Mbabali further said he has given the Inspector General of Government one week to have Sekandi arrested or else he goes to court himself to have Sekandi charged in courts of law for abusing his office.

Mbabali has already filed an election petition challenging his nemesis Sekandi in Masaka High Court, which is still pending. Efforts to get a comment from Ssekandi or the IG’s office about the matter were futile.
