Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) officials have been detained at Mukono Central Police station for attempting to walk from the party retreat in Mukono to Kampala as there are no taxis in the area due to the taxi operators strike.
The taxi operators under their umbrella association DACCA are protesting against mistreatment by URODA officials, the body responsible for collecting dues from public transport operators.The arrested officials include; Siisa Patrick Chairman Kyenjojo, Kazooba Israel former MP candidate Rwampara, Turyatunga Peter Chairperson Kisoro, Birungi Elizabeth former Woman MP Kabarole, Paaza Aloysius former MP candidate Rubanda.
Attempts to get a comment from police spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Division Ibn Senkumbi were futile as he could not answer his phone
The DPC for CPS Norman Musinga was not aware of the arrest. He said he was learning this from The Independent adding that he would comment later on in the day.
