The minister of Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa over the weekend endured a tough time in Canada where she had gone to open the NRM symposium after National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters almost roughed her up.
NUP supporters led by William Ntege, also known as “Kyuma kya Yesu” reportedly attempted to block NRM leaders led by Nankabirwa from accessing the venue where the symposium was held accusing her and NRM of being violators of human rights.
Commenting on the incident, Nankabirwa described it as the politics of intolerance demonstrated by NUP supporters.
Instead of protesting, Nankabirwa said these groups of NUP supporters should be supporting the growth of their country and create investment opportunities for the people of Uganda.
The symposium that attracted hundreds of NRM supporters ended yesterday after attempts by NUP supporters to disrupt the convention. END.
