A group of MPs headed by Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Kyagulanyi Sentamu Robert alias Bobi wine, escorted by multitudes of people (mostly boda bodas), have today matched from the Parliament heading to the Central Police Station (CPS)

Kyagulanyi is alleged to have spearheaded the protests which have since been classified as an illegal assembly by the police force. It is also alleged that during the protest, the Divisional Police Commander (DPC) CPS Kampala, Joseph Bakaleke was assaulted and his handcuffs stolen.

On that day, three suspected protestors identified as David Luke, Katongole Julius and Nyanzi Ssentamu were arrested and have since been charged at Buganda Road Magistrate court on charges of holding an illegal assembly among others.

Kyagulanyi’s body guard known as Eddy Mutwe was also arrested over related charges and has been in police custody on tentative charges of assault and theft of handcuffs.
