Leaders of the National Unity Platform (NUP) have accused the government of selectively applying the law after images of Kitgum Woman MP wearing Uganda People’s Defense Force – UPDF attire went viral.
The NUP leaders made these allegations during a brief press conference held at the party headquarters in Magere, where they distributed scholastic materials and school fees to children of NUP supporters allegedly affected by arrests and abductions.
Photos of Lilian Aber dressed in full UPDF uniform went viral on social media a few hours before the Tarehe- Sita celebrations, prompting NUP members to claim she should have been detained beforehand.
Speaking at the event, opposition leader Joel Ssenyonyi stated that he has already raised the issue of the army’s selective approach on the floor of Parliament. Hon. Ssenyonyi speaking…..
UPDF Spokesperson Brigadier Felix Kulaigye had however earlier told journalists that MP Aber had already been summoned, but she apologized and she was forgiven by the CDF and asked not to do it again, before adding that the Army officer who gave Aber the attire has since been arrested. END.
