Deus Bonane, the Hamurara village LCI chairperson in Bubaare sub-county, Rubanda East county, Rubanda district was yesterday arrested for allegedly bribing voters.

Bonane was arrested yesterday morning at Hamurara polling station while distributing 5,000 shillings and surgical masks to supporters of the incumbent Henry Ariganyira Musasizi.

His arrest followed cries from supporters of Musasiz’s opponent Kenneth Jogo Biryabarema, who is also Rubanda district LC5 chairman on how Bonane is paying voters yet it is illegal.

They attempted to beat him prompting police to intervene and drive him to Bubaare police station where he is being detained.

Elly Maate, the Kigezi region police spokesperson says that he is yet to receive any report about Bonane’s arrest.

Bonane was in early August arrested for stabbing his defence secretary accusing him of supporting Biryabarema. He was later released on court bail.

Meanwhile, At Bunagana, Kyondo and Kabahesi polling stations in Kamuganguzi Sub County, there were no hand washing facilities.
