Museveni Orders Police Chief to Arrest People Who Altered Results for NRM Primaries

As complaints of the just concluded NRM primaries continue to pile at party headquarters, President Yoweri Museveni, has directed the Inspector General of Police, Martins Ochola, to ensure all people who altered results are arrested.

Museveni said he has conducted ant-vote theft investigations in districts of Kiruhura, Kazo, Kyankwanzi and Sembabule where he had gathered more than enough evidence regarding altered results that could have sparked off chaos.

Based on his findings, Museveni wants IGP Ochola to ensure whoever participated in election malpractice is arrested and prosecuted.

NRM parliamentary primaries were the most chaotic and up to date some results in various places haven’t been declared while in other places results have been overturned by party electoral commission chaired by Dr Tanga Odoi.

Violence was registered in among other districts Sembabule, Kazo, Ntungamo, Kyankwanzi, Jinja, Bugiri, Mbale, Isimgiro and Kassanda. In Rushenyi county results between state minister for gender and labour Mwesigwa Rukutana and Naome Kabasharira haven’t been declared although Dr Tanga Odoi some days ago said Rukutana was leading with 20 votes.

In Kazo battle was between state minister economic planning Molly Kamukama and Jenifer Muheesi. Odoi finally declared Muheesi as the winner for Kazo district woman MP. In Sembabule chaos was in Mawogola West where Hanifa Kawooya is battling incumbent Joseph Sekabiito while in Mawogola North president Museveni young brother Godfrey Aine Kaguta and foreign affair minister Sam Kuteesa’s daughter Shartis Kuteesa.
