]]> Opposition MPs condemned the arrest of the former Prime Minister John Patrick Amama Mbabazi and Dr. Kiiza Besigye. They denounced the actions of police as the NRM party MPs celebrated Mbabazi’s blocking from going to Mbale for a consultative meeting with his supporters.

The shadow Minister for Internal Affairs Mohammed Muwanga Kivumbi told parliament that the actions of the police are causing unrest in the country. Kivumbi questioned whether it has become criminal for any person to contest as a presidential aspirant. He said that parliament must debate the role of security agencies in the upcoming 2016 elections.

However the Member of Parliament for Dokolo county Felix Okot Ogong said that what goes around comes around, adding that Mbabazi defended the Public Order Management Act now it has caught up with him jumping the prudency queue in NRM party.

The leader of opposition Philip Wafula Ogutu said that it was illogical for Amama Mbabazi to be arrested before he reached the crime scene. Wafula was bitter that NRM people are wearing yellow shirts and moving in roads but police doesn’t stop them, warning police against double standards.
