Uganda’s parliamentary committee, COSASE, has ordered police to provide security for Margaret Lucy Ejang, a former accounting officer at the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC). This directive follows Ejang’s expressed fears for her safety as she prepares to appear before the committee on Friday. Details surrounding the specific threats remain undisclosed, but COSASE acted swiftly to ensure her well-being. The committee is likely investigating matters related to the UHRC’s finances and operations, potentially prompting the security request. This action highlights concerns regarding potential intimidation of witnesses in ongoing parliamentary investigations. The Independent Uganda first reported on the development, signaling its importance within the national context. Further details are expected to emerge during Ejang’s testimony before COSASE.
