The opposition Democratic Party has condemned the arrest of its youth leaders who were protesting this morning.

8 youth members were arrested as they tried to match to the office of the prime minister calling for the resignation of the permanent secretary Pius Bigirimana.

Party secretary general Matthias Nsubuga says that the youths have a right to demonstrate to express their dissatisfaction.

Nsubuga says such walks will continue until abuse of public funds stops.

Meanwhile the Kampala metropolitan police spokesman Ibin Senkumbi says the youths are to be charged with holding unlawful assembly and inciting violence.
