The National Resistance Movement-NRM party Secretary General, Justine Kasule Lumumba has implored the Uganda Police leadership to arrest politicians found violating the Covid19 preventive guidelines issued by the Health Ministry.

Speaking to news reporters at the NRM secretariat at Plot 10 Kyadondo Road in Kampala, Lumumba said the police shouldn’t just look on as NRM members hold public rallies and processions against the government guidelines on gatherings and social distancing.Â
She said any police officer who fails to ensure that no guidelines are flouted should instead be arrested. Lumumba’s comments follow a video circulating on social media showing supporters of Koboko Municipality MP, Evelyn Anite in a procession in violation of the Health Ministry guidelines. Â
Lumumba wants the Police leadership to arrest any District Police Commander who fails to ensure that no such gatherings or public rallies are held. She says according to the constitution of Uganda, no one, not even a minister is above the law. Â ENDS Â
