A heavy security presence was seen around the Parliament of Uganda this morning as police and other security agencies deployed in anticipation of the tabling of the controversial Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) Amendment Bill.
The bill, whose contents have not yet been made public, is expected to be presented before Parliament later today, sparking tensions and prompting heightened security measures. Armed police and military officers were stationed at key entry points around the parliamentary building, with additional roadblocks set up on nearby streets.
