Don’t dare- Police warn organisers of planned anti-corruption march to parliament

Police have warned that the planned march to parliament against anti corruption has not been cleared.

Addressing journalists on Monday, police spokesperson, Kituuma Rusoke said they have got wind of ongoing mobilization efforts on social media calling for people to march to parliament but warned this is illegal.

“Unidentified organizers have circulated placards urging people to gather on all Kampala streets on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 but the time of commencement and organizational details are unclear. Given the lack of transparency and potential for disorder, the police strongly warn against proceeding with this match,” Rusoke said.

He said police will not tolerate attempts to incite violence or breach public order through uncontrolled demonstrations.

“The right to a peaceful protest will be respected, but police will not tolerate attempts to incite public disorder.”

He urged members of the public who wish to exercise their rights such as the right to assembly and demonstrate to always work collaboratively with “us to ensure that they don’t aid persons of ulterior motives to hijack these expressions to accomplish criminal intentions.”
