The Democratic Party (DP) President Norbert Mao and eleven others have been arrested by police for attempting to march to parliament.
Police intercepted Mao and his group at Cairo Bank along Kampala Road this afternoon, a few meters from their headquarters at City house.
The group was marching to parliament to protest against the proposed scrapping of the presidential age limit.
The others are Ronald Muyini Ssebana, Dr. Mayambala Kiwanuka, Robert Mukooza, David Musiiri, Jamie Isiko, Musa Ntege, Richard Nvanungi, Alex Ochaki, Edwardo Kahiigi, Caleb Tumuharwe and Bashir Bisaso.
The Deputy Spokesperson, Kampala Metropolitan Police Area, Luke Owoyesigire confirmed their arrest saying they are being investigated on charges of holding an unlawful procession.
Before they set to move, Mao launched the Red ribbon week intended to mobilize the public against the proceedings in parliament intended to present a report to scrap article 102b, which parliament excluded on the today’s order paper.
The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee chaired by the West Budama South MP, Jacob Oboth-Oboth finalized the report last evening after a month of consultations.
