{UAH} STATEMENT BY HON. NORBERT MAO

STATEMENT BY HON. NORBERT MAO

Kassanda, Wednesday 18 November, 2020

Following the news of the brutal arrest of NUP Presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, Hon. Norbert Mao, The DP Presidential Candidate, has issued the following statement from Kassanda where he's on the campaign trail:

"I have instructed the DP National Legal Advisor Counsel Luyimbazi Nalukoola to take legal steps to ensure that the NUP Presidential Candidate Robert Kyagulanyi who is in detention is released from custody immediately. I have also asked him to take legal steps to file criminal charges against singer Bebe Cool who is flouting the so called COVID rules with impunity. He is holding processions of NRM supporters while police helplessly looks on. Yet the same police has disrupted gatherings of opposition candidates under the pretext of enforcing COVID rules. The private prosecution of Bebe Cool should send a message that rules have to apply equally to all citizens.

The NRM presidential candidate is pretending to be adhering to the COVID rules but, in a double faced way, he is acquiescing in the hooligans of NRM supporters who are mobilized by the likes of Bebe Cool. In Gulu these hooligans attacked the DP parliamentary candidate for Gulu City East, Simon Opoka, and destroyed the rear windscreen of his vehicle tyre cover that had Norbert Mao's campaign picture.

In have also sent messages to all democracy seeking forces to cooperate in highlighting and combating police brutality."
