Security operatives raided the Uhuru Institute for Social Development in Naguru, Kampala.
The Uhuru Institute, located at Katalima Crescent, east of Kampala, advocates for an equitable society led by a developmental state that runs on the principles of a social market economy. Its work puts the citizen at the center of an inclusive, cooperative and accountable system. The institute is actively involved in revitalization of cooperatives in Uganda.
The Uhuru Institute Chief Executive Officer Leonard Okello confirms the raid but refused to be open to the press.
It’s suspected that the raid could be linked to a post on the institute Facebook page by a one Mary Kelly calling on Ugandans to boycott the independence celebrations on October 9 saying “it’s not yet Uhuru”. The post, refers to a fundraising event in Soroti officiated at by president Museveni which was allegedly “boycotted by the residents”.
According to staff members, police was specifically interested in computers and finance units basing on the search warrants, issued in Nakawa and Makindye magistrate courts allowing them to access computer accessories (electronics), mobile handsets, money transfer related documents and bank transaction documents.
