Tension is rising within the National Unity Platform (NUP) following claims that more opposition figures could face fresh criminal charges as security agencies continue investigations into alleged offences.Former Butambala Woman MP and NUP Deputy Secretary General Aisha Kabanda said supporters and sureties of former Butambala County MP Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi are living in fear after security officers recorded details of people attending his court appearance.
Kivumbi recently faced fresh charges, including allegations of inciting violence and managing an unlawful society. His supporters fear that those who stood as sureties or attended court could also be targeted.Security officials, however, said recording details of sureties is a normal verification process during bail applications.
Meanwhile, reports have emerged alleging that investigations are ongoing into some senior NUP figures, including party leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine), over claims linked to security matters.The allegations, which have not been proven in court, reportedly stem from investigations dating back to 2020 and claims from former supporters who were recently released after military court cases.
No formal charges have been announced against Bobi Wine or other senior NUP leaders in connection with the allegations.The claims have heightened anxiety among opposition supporters, who are now watching closely for possible arrests or new court cases involving senior party officials.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
