Police Intentionally Blocks My Meetings — Bobi Wine

1 Mins read

The patron of People Power Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi wine has said his pressure group will continue obeying the law despite interference from security agencies.

Police accused the singer cum politician for failure to meet some requirements in the Public Order Management Act.

However, the legislator blamed the Police for continuously blocking their consultative meetings without clear reasons.

He made the remarks on Wednesday after his meetings were again blocked by security agencies.

He noted that even in areas where they have fulfilled all the guidelines as set in the Public Order Management Act, Police oscillated into action and stopped them.

“For example, the reason they gave for blocking our meetings in Gayaza is that; it was an open place which is illegal however in Lira, we agreed to follow those vigorous directives and put the meetings in an enclosed place,” he said.

He said that the continuous confrontation between the police and opposition which leaves many injured, businesses interrupted and scores arrested should be blamed on the police for failure to let them exercise their freedom to assemble.

“For how long are we going to see people that are paid to keep the law actually are the ones breaking the law? For how long are we going to see security agencies use our money to brutalise our people?” he queried.

On the issue of fronting a joint candidate ahead of 2021, the legislator who is also the leader of People Power welcomed the idea.

“It is a desire for the people of Uganda to see us come together to put an end to the brutal dictatorship because we are enclosed, indeed God willing we shall come together and agree,” he said.
