The Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa has made very serious allegations attributing police brutality to an invisible hand within government that could be sponsoring the terror in a bid to project a negative image on the country.
Tayebwa made the remarks while addressing the House this afternoon after suspending business due to heaping pressure by the Leader of Opposition Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba who questioned the terror meted on the 11 Opposition female MPs as they marched to the internal affairs Minister.
“My question is who are these people (Police and other security agencies ) working for? Because government needs to reflect and find out who is behind them. I don’t think these are people who are working to protect government or its image, they must be working for an invisible hand that aims to bring down the government because I don’t see any single justification for these actions,” deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa on the violent arrest of 11 female MPs who were marching to Ministry of Internal Affairs to deliver a petition against police and other security agencies which often frustrate their activities, including rallies.
“Eleven of our colleagues were today brutally arrested; some are bleeding while the clothes of others were torn. It is as if they were arresting terrorists. And they’ve done this terror in front of the gates of Parliament,” he said.
The eleven female MPs have since been rescued from CPS filthy cells where they were being detained for more than 3 hours. The female MPs are protesting the raging brutality that has so far left one of their own, Hon. Suzan Nakaziba the Buvuma Woman MP bedridden.
