Buganda Kingdom leader Charles Peter Mayiga asked for Eddie Mutwe to be freed on Monday. He said military officials held Mutwe because of his beard length and lack of Runyakore language skills. Mayiga stated that only the police should arrest people who break the law. He requested that the military hand Mutwe over to the police if he did something wrong.
The prime minister warned that kidnapping people and harming journalists creates problems. Armed men wearing Special Forces Command uniforms took Mutwe from Kiwango village last week. National Unity Platform chief Robert Kyagulanyi reported that his security head was grabbed forcefully. General Muhoozi confirmed he keeps Mutwe for Runyakore lessons.
Party official David Lewis Rubongoya claimed the government wants to weaken NUP before the 2026 elections. He mentioned that similar actions had happened before the 2021 vote. The party believes these arrests aim to distract leaders and remove key members from campaign work.
