Not a day after police issued security guidelines on the return of Kyadondo East MP Bobi Wine alias Robert Kyagulanyi, the musician has reacted angrily faulting police for issuing directives of how he should arrive in his home country.
“I’m wondering why these police officers allow themselves to descend so low. They now want to decide who picks me and where I go upon arrival? Well, for your information, no single family member will receive me at the airport, I will find them home because I know where home is!” he said in a tweet adding that “I will be received by friends, colleague leaders and artistes. I will then go and see my sick grandmother briefly at Najjanankumbi from where I will head to Kamwokya for lunch with my family (brothers and sisters) before I go to my home in Magere.”
While using the hash tag People power Our power, the vocal Kyadondo East legislator said that he is a free Ugandan with the right to move freely in the country.
“The police has no business telling me who receives me and who cannot or where I go and where I cannot. This impunity must stop now. Wama see you friends tomorrow,” he continued tweeting.
Earlier, police spokesperson, Mr Emilian Kayima told journalists in Kampala that on his arrival at Entebbe International Airport on Thursday, the MP will be received by his immediate family and that he will be availed security from the airport to his home.
“Police will further ensure law and order for all road users. There shall be no unlawful rallies, processions and assemblies. Any activity that entails a public gathering must be in conformity with the provisions of Public Order Management Act (POMA),” added SSP Kayima.
Meanwhile several of his supporters have added their voice on the legislator accusing police of infringing on his rights.
Godfrey Mwesigye on Twitter said urged police to respect the rights of the legislator but also warned that his arrival may spark violent confrontention with the police tomorrow.
“True that bro, rights have to be respected. But violence has become a new disease to this country, we need peaceful.” He tweeted.
While another one tweeting on the handle HappyPeople cautioned Bobi Wine saying he should play by the rules of the law governing body.
“Hon, as a legislator you have to follow the rules. Advise your team to seek permission for the gathering in Wampewo. Don’t try to fall into Besigyes trap of disrupting business in the City. Helicopter from EBB to your home,” the twitter handle Happypeople advised.
