Police ask NUP to drop Kunga drive

A press statement issued by the Uganda Police Force Spokesperson Fred Enanga has asked the opposition National Unity Platform party to abandon the Kunga mobilization drive and adopt other strategies used by other political parties.

According to intelligence reports as disclosed by Enanga, NUP is planning countrywide demonstrations against the government over costs of living and inflation levels.

Police statement

As the Joint Security Agencies, we have obtained credible about plans by NUP to reactivate their structures, through various mobilisation drives, in cities and major towns, to cause acts of disorder and lawlessness in the country. This development comes at a time when the county has been very peaceful.

We therefore, call upon the NUP leadership to avoid such clandestine methods of work and instead use legitimate means to achieve their objectives. We also encourage them to emulate the other political parties like the FDC, NRM and DP, that have continued to work within the provisions of the POMA and in harmony with the police.

We would like to reassure the public especially the private and business sector, that we shall not allow any acts that are in breach of the prevailing peace and security in the country, to occur.
