Somebody tagged a highway with a political slogan, and cops are mad. Police in Kiboga District are investigating after people painted the phrase "Protest Vote" on the Kampala-Kiboga-Hoima road in Lwamata Town Council. Witnesses said two guys, thought to be National Unity Platform supporters, did the deed late at night before speeding off on a bike with no plates.
A regional police spokesperson, SSP Lameck Kigozi, called it sabotage and illegal, stating only the Works Ministry can legally mark roads. He warned the public against messing with infrastructure, especially during a tense election build-up. Officers are checking camera footage and asking around to find the culprits. The whole thing highlights the jittery atmosphere as political activity heats up nationwide, with security forces telling everyone to chill and follow the law.
