Three opposition lawmakers who were arrested earlier on Tuesday have been released from Naggalama Police Station on bond.
Kyadondo East MP Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi, Kira Municipality legislator Ssemujju Nganda Ibrahim, and Lubaga North representative Moses Kasibante were arrested and whisked away to neighbouring Mukono districts.
The trio and a number of others are accused of jumping police bond “We have detained the MPs for jumping police bond. They were supposed to report to CID headquarters as per the conditions set upon their release but they did not show,” Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP) commander Frank Mwesigwa earlier confirmed.
Police cancelled the release bonds of the 13 MPs who were ejected from Parliament on the Speaker’s order during the chaos that marred the House last Wednesday.
Mwesigwa further noted that police were hunting for Nathan Nandala Mafabi (Budadiri West), Jonathan Odur (Erute South), Mathias Mpuuga (Masaka Municipality), Gerald Karuhanga (Ntungamo Municipality), Muhammad Nsereko (Kampala Central) and William Nzoghu (Busongora North).
Others are: Barnabas Tinkasimire (Buyaga County), Robert Kyagulanyi (Kyadondo East), Theodore Ssekikubo (Lwemiyiga County) and Joy Atim (Lira District Woman MP).
They will reappear at CID headquarters at Kibuli on Wednesday.
