The National Unity Platform (NUP) has expressed growing concern over the whereabouts of its Deputy President for Buganda, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, saying his disappearance has left his family, supporters and party leaders in fear.
Speaking before the Uganda Human Rights Commission, NUP Deputy President for Western Uganda, Jolly Jackline Tukamushaba, said the party has gone more than two weeks without knowing where Kivumbi is after he was allegedly taken by armed security personnel shortly after being granted bail.
“What worries us most is that Gen. Muhoozi is also silent. At least when he tweets, we know someone is in the basement,” Tukamushaba said, referring to previous social media posts that opposition supporters believed confirmed the detention of political figures.
Kivumbi was reportedly seized by armed men at a security roadblock in Mpigi shortly after leaving court. Police have denied holding him, prompting the opposition to demand an independent investigation into his disappearance.
NUP and other opposition parties have now urged the Uganda Human Rights Commission to establish Kivumbi’s whereabouts, insisting that Ugandans deserve answers as concerns over alleged enforced disappearances continue to grow.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
