A fake security group that is behind the arrest of supporters of former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi’s is being investigated by the district security team for carrying out unlawful arrests.
The group raided alleged Mbabazi supporters at Grace Christian academy last week and confiscated their motorcycles and posters as well as arresting some other members of the public.
The district security team say the fake security team is infringing on the constitutional rights of the electro process.
They have been identified as Penywii and Rasta Guwan both of them their occupation is unknown with the latter working as a blocker at the Bus Park.
It’s believed that the fake NRM diehards are operating like the Kiboko squad curtailing the political freedom of Ugandans.
The acting Resident District Commissioner Gulu, Mr Awany Andrew notes that they are closely monitoring the unveiling political situation as it has become very difficult to differentiate between the supporters of Amama Mbabazi and genuine NRM Museveni supporters.
‘‘If they will be found that they conducted the arrest without any knowledge of security operatives they will be sent to rot in the coolers,’’ The RDC said.
In the current legal frame work anybody who carries out human rights abuses in the name of the government can be sued individually according to Uganda human rights commission.
Tension has already gone high as the top politicians in the NRM have failed to agree on who should be the official presidential flag bearer.
More revelations have it that Amama Mbabazi while in London on Friday, noted that there was an agreement between him and the president, to have Museveni step down for Mbabazi in 2016 but that Museveni decided to go against it, and instead went on to recruit a gang to fight his war against Mbabazi with a hope of scaring him from ever asking again about that arrangement.
“No one has supported Museveni more than I have. It is a fact. Even now I support him. I am only saying what the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3 that there is time for everything.
There is time for change (and) the time for change in Uganda is now. I told the President,” Mr Mbabazi said in London.
Mbabazi has lined over 500 lawyers who will defend his supporters who were arrested last week for displaying his posters and T-shirts across the country.
