Uganda’s Parliament is demanding answers from the government regarding the re-arrest of former Butambala County MP, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi. The demand followed Kivumbi’s recent release on court bail, after which he was reportedly re-arrested. Leader of the Opposition, Joel Ssenyonyi, brought the issue before Parliament, deeming it a matter of national importance. Ssenyonyi highlighted potential violations of constitutional protections against arbitrary arrest. Parliament is seeking clarification on Kivumbi’s current location and the reasons behind his re-arrest. The situation raises concerns about due process and political detainment within Uganda. Authorities have yet to publicly respond to Parliament’s inquiry.
