In Kampala
Opposition Members of Parliament have today boycotted the presentation of the national budget over allegations that point them at the killing of Slain Legislator Ibrahim Abiriga.
Abiriga, who represented Arua Municipality, was last week gunned down by unknown assailants.
President Museveni and a number of political leaders from the ruling party pointed fingers at the opposition.
This led to the arrest of Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze (DP) while FDC’s Kaps Fungaroo is on the run.
Speaking to www.mknewslink.com, shadow internal affairs minister Muwanga Kivumbi (DP) and shadow minister for foreign affairs Atkins Katusabe (FDC) said the boycott was in solidarity with their hunted colleagues.
“We cannot attend a ritual when our friends are being tormented by the state,” said Muwanga.
Mr Muwanga described the budget activity as a mere ritual since the budget had been passed by Parliament.
Mr Katusabe condemned the government of turning a blind eye on the killings.
“You cannot accuse the opposition because you do not agree with them, the government must hunt down the killers rather than mudslinging the opposition,” he said.
Mr Katusabe added that, “we are human beings and we do not value bloodshed, the government needs to respect this.”
By press time, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament, Winnie Kiiza was expected to address the media about their decision.

Police issues security guidelines ahead of 2018 FIFA World Cup
Police have issued security guidelines and called for vigilance as the 2018 world cup starts.
Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander Moses Kafeero says security checking at entertainment halls is a must.
Police also urges owners of places that will screen the matches should work with the security agencies.

As the whole world turns attention to the 2018 FIFA World Cup that kicks off in Russia on Thursday, Uganda Police has issued a raft of safety tips to scuttle possible criminal schemes during the tournament.
Over 70 people were killed in twin bomb blasts at Kyandondo Rugby Ground and Ethiopian Village Restaurant in Kampala during the 2010 FIFA World Cup final in July. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attacks.
In a bid to stave off a possible repeat of the toughest terrorist attacks and commission of other forms of criminal activities, the Police is seeking to lift vigilance levels among the population.
The Kampala Metropolitan Police commander, Moses Kafeero, said the force together with sister security agencies, will be undertaking foot and motorised patrols in various parts of the country during the World Cup season.
“Take interest in the people who will be speaking continuously on phones and those ones paying little attention to the matches on the screens in the halls where matches will be showed. That is how terrorists plan attacks. The terrorists do not want anyone to know about their plans before execution,” he added.
Kafeero was addressing the press together with David Wasswa, the head of technical services in counterterrorism and Moses Ssebambulidde from the traffic and road safety directorate at Police’s headquarters in Kampala on Wednesday.
He said that the owners of the halls where matches will be screened ought to ensure that their areas have sufficient light and several exit points to facilitate the people to escape in case of fire outbreaks and other life-threatening incidents.
“It is important to have the halls fitted with fire extinguishers and the owners know where the nearby fire hydrants are located,” Kafeero stated.
Wasswa appealed to the public to report suspicious activities and people to the Police, advising people against screening World Cup matches in business premises near streets.
“It is not good for the public to gather around your businesses on the street to watch matches. They should be in halls. Do not leave children alone at home and do not give the criminals chances to attack you. The parking areas of the places where matches will be showed should also have security personnel,” he stated.
Ssebambulidde explained that operations against drunken-driving will be intensified during the tournament and cautioned soccer enthusiasts against celebrating wins in the middle of roads because the practice disrupts smooth traffic flow

In Kisoro
Police has heavily deployed in Kisoro town to avert planned demonstrations by a section of residents in Kisoro district over the arrest of former Inspector General of police General Edward Kale Kayihura.
Yesterday, the Former Inspector General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura was arrested and detained at Makindye Military Barracks. According to Uganda People’s Defence Forces-UPDF Spokesperson Brig Richard Karemire, Gen Kayihura was airlifted from his farm in Kashagama, Lyantonde District yesterday morning.
He was later taken to meet with the Chief of Defence Forces Gen David Muhoozi at the army headquarters in Mbuya, Kampala. At Mbuya, Kayihura was interrogated for about seven hours until around 8:00pm when a heavily-guarded military convoy of military trucks escorted him to Makindye.
The Kigezi region police spokesperson Elly Maate said that they residents were being mobilized by the Kisoro district LC5 Chairman Abel Bizimana on social media to gather at Kisoro Mayors Gardens.
He has advised the Kisoro district leadership to use rightful and lawful channels to present their grievousness than taking law into own hands, or else risk being arrested as per public order management Act.
Our efforts to get a comment from Bizimana were futile as he could not pick phone calls.
General Kayihura a resident of Kisoro who served as Inspector General of Police for thirteen years was fired early this year, in a reshuffle which President Museveni has since described as a considered approach to clean the force. The army has remained tight-lipped in the exact cause of his arrest.

In Kampala
Former Inspector General of Police Gen. Edward Kale Kayihura got a feel of what it’s like to be an inmate after spending his first night inside a detention cell at Makindye.
The disgraced General who was airlifted from his farm in rural Kashagama in Lyantonde to Kampala aboard a military chopper spent the night in detention.
In his statement, Brig Karemire said Kayihura was on Tuesday “asked to report to the UPDF Chief of Defence Forces Gen David Muhoozi at General Headquarters – Mbuya.”
The Defence spokesperson added: “A helicopter was subsequently dispatched to transport him from there but on arrival, Gen Kale had travelled to Mbarara and so it had to return to Entebbe Airforce Base.”
Eyewitnesses said they saw the chopper landing in the farm with several soldiers disembarking. They thought it had developed a mechanical problem. It appears Gen Mbadi, a former ADC of president Museveni, was on the phone with his superiors or regional commanders.
Mbadi stayed in the helicopter. The army had just picked information that Kayihura had left his farmhouse.
It remains unclear why Gen Kayihura abandoned his home yet he had received a message that he was wanted at Mbuya and a chopper would pick him the same day.
This could have raised concerns that Gen Kayihura intended to flee the country.
Elite military units were dispatched to search for Kayihura in the entire Lyantonde area. Road blocks were mounted along the major roads.
Security failed to trace Gen Kayihura hence raiding Court Yard International and Sky Blue Hotels. Rooms were turned upside down but Kayihura could not be traced.
On Wednesday morning, Kayihura, who was being chauffeured in an Ipsum Premio brand car got tired and slept on the roadside in Lake Mburo national park area.
Time check was 6:00pm.
Kale’s phones were found in a separate Premio brand car which raised fears that this could have been intended to hoodwink trackers.
The soldiers quickly alerted Brig Muhanga who said Gen Kayihura should be brought to him.
“I don’t want to embarrass you,” Kayanja reportedly told Kayihura. “Let’s go home so you can take a bath and rest.”
It’s understood Kayihura pleaded with Kayanja to allow him go. Kayanja stood his ground, saying he couldn’t do such a thing.
Kayihura would later take a bath and fall asleep.
A few hours later, a chopper was sent to pick him to Mbuya. After the grilling session, he was taken to Makindye where he spent first night in detention in the same facility with his police henchmen, Herbert Muhangi former Flying Squad, Richard Ndaboine former head cyber unit and Ndahura Atwoki former Crime Intelligence chief.
The four according to reports are to be questioned in relation to numerous crimes they committed while Kayihura was police chief.
At Makindye Kayihura will be sleeping in the proximity with Nixon Agasirwe, Abdallah Kitatta, Joel Aguma, Abdulnoor Ssemujju aka Minaana and other suspected criminals who at one time held powerful positions in the police force under Kayihura.

Kayihura’s home in Makindye has been taken over by the army and was searched last night.
It is said that the swoop to arrest more police officers is still ongoing and according to the source, most of those to be arrested are at the rank of commissioners of police.
Ordinarily, senior army officers like Kayihura are detained at the Kololo officers’ mess but the detention at Makindye military police could be pointing to a bigger case against the former police boss.
