Police in Tororo yesterday blocked a planned procession by the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party electoral commission chairperson, Mr. Tanga Odoi in Tororo town.
The Odoi procession was reportedly an attempt to disrupt National Unity Platform (NUP) flagbearer, Mr. Robert Kyagulanyi’s political rally that was slated for yesterday in Tororo town.
Leading a group of over 200 boda boda riders carrying President Museveni’s campaign posters, Mr. Odoi was blocked by police along Tororo-Nagongera road which is about three kilometres away from town.
Upon being blocked, Mr. Odoi claimed that he was not attempting to block Mr. Kyagulanyi’s campaign rally but rather trying to remind the police to play their cardinal role of enforcing the Ministry of Health guidelines to guard against Coronavirus as his NRM party president has done.
He said as an enlightened person, he would not just sit and watch his people being put at the risk contracting the deadly disease. ENDS
