Yesterday afternoon, the opposition members of parliament stormed out of parliament protesting the re-arrest of our two colleagues; Hon Allan Ssewanyana (Makindye West) and Hon Muhammad Ssegirinya (Kawempe North). The two were re-arrested shortly after release from Kigo prison where they had spent over two weeks for ALLEGEDLY participating in the recent spate of murders in greater Masaka region.
While we do not Condone lawlessness, we strongly believe that custodians of the law should be lawful themselves. There is for instance no reason as to why their families should not be able to access them, leave alone knowing where they are. The re-arrest after the court bail looks like a slap in the face of the judiciary. It is easy to defend what is going on until you are the next.
It is a shame that as security organs spend a lot of energy on opposition politicians in what looks like a witch hunt, the killings are spreading to other parts of the country. There is a lot of work to be done to secure lives of the ordinary Ugandan. Clearly, we are treating cancer with a Vaseline. It never works!
Fast forward, Ugandans need their lives secured and our colleagues need justice.
