Uganda Radio Network interviewed some of the so-called strangers along Freedom Drive in Magere near the home of NUP’s presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi and they said they came from Entebbe.
Heavy deployment along Gayaza Road, Kasangati
and Magere village which is home of NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi has caused
concern among some residents. The deployment by military, police and plain
clothes security personnel is noticeably heavy.
Some residents are describing the plainclothes
security personnel as strangers whose origin they do not know. Uganda Radio Network interviewed some of the
so-called strangers along Freedom Drive in Magere near the home of NUP’s
presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi and they said they came from Entebbe.
Kyagulanyi is set to be nominated tomorrow,
November 3rd at 9.00am.
William Kigozi, Chairman LC I of Magere village, claims he doesn’t know what
the “strangers” are up to.
//Cue
in “right now I…
Cue out …told me the same.”//
John Mukiibi, a resident of Kasangati town council criticizes the deployment as
being in favour of the ruling NRM party.
//Cue in “fe tukilabye nti…
Cue out …baked kye nyinz okugamba.”//
An equally angry Badru Kagga, a neighboring Hon. Robert Sentamu Kyagulanyi, shares the same anger and talks cynically of the way
security is being handled in their village
\\ Cue in “kati nga ogyeeko…
Cue out “…ebizibu netutafugibwa bulungi.”//
However along Freedom drive in Magere all is calm, with the plain clothe
operatives going about their patrol and
observations.
Patrick Onyango, Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson says that the
residents should be very happy that there is security deployment in the area.
He said the plainclothes intelligencers officers are gathering information in
response to what Hon. Robert Sentamu Kyagulanyi, the (NUP) Presidential flag
bearer said that he will mobilize many people for a nomination procession which
is illegal and should it be dome, security has to be in position to deal with
it accordingly
//Cue in “police patrols and…
Cue out …dealt with accordingly.”//
Nomination of five presidential aspirants is set to be completed at Kyambogo
University today. These are NRM’s Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, ANT’s Mugisha Muntu
Gregg, Independents Henry Tumukunde, Jphn Katumba and Nancy Kalembe.
