Speaker of Parliament, Annet Anita Among, has tasked Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Nobert Mao, to explain the circumstances surrounding the detention of former FDC presidential candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye in Luzira Prison. The move comes amid growing public concern over what many perceive as a violation of Besigye’s rights.
Members of Parliament (MPs) sitting on the Committee on Physical Infrastructure have expressed frustration with officials from the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) over their failure to release a report on the plane incident involving Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa last year.
