Hon. Mubarak Munyagwa Mugati-gwabata

Police used tear gas while arresting Kawempe Division Mayor Mubarak Munyagwa Mugati-gwabata  and  over 20 Youth Activists allegedly under the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) while taking Electoral reforms to parliament. Earlier today police beefed up security at all entrances of parliament after getting information that the youths would storm parliament to demand for changes in the electoral laws.

Munyagwa says that he was taking views on the election reforms together with the Youths’ parliamentary committee on the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and in  the process as they forced their way into parliament police arrested them. The Youths say that there cannot be transparent election without constitutional reform.

The youth Activists claim that  they are tired of the parliament which is influenced by the Executive on the electoral reforms.
