Lawmakers from all sides teamed up Thursday against the government report about election troubles in Kawempe North. Every representative spoke out against police hurting members of the National Unity Platform party. Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa ran the meeting where General David Muhoozi talked about what happened earlier during the week. General Muhoozi heads the Internal Affairs office and told everyone about fights between NUP fans and security teams.
The police locked up twenty-four people from these street battles. Courts sent these arrested folks to jail on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. General Muhoozi tried to explain why police showed up on video acting rough. He claimed they just wanted fair campaign events. He promised the government plans to make sure the Kawempe North election stays honest and safe for voters.
Nobody bought what General Muhoozi said—not even lawmakers from his party. Representatives argued together that security teams crossed the line. Bosco Okiror represents Usuk County and belongs to the ruling NRM party. He demanded police arrest their bad officers and said everybody must stand together against beating people during elections. Security bosses keep saying they don't know these violent officers.
Henry Kibalya from Bugabula South also belongs to NRM but trashed the official story. He flat-out said General Muhoozi missed the point completely. Former Minister Sarah Opendi Acheing reminded everyone the NRM party earned praise for bringing peace to Uganda. She looked upset seeing uniformed people attacking regular citizens. Joyce Bagala from Mityana showed names of reporters beaten by security forces. She asked the government to pay doctor bills for these injured journalists.
