The National Unity Platform Party President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has petitioned the High Court seeking orders compelling security agencies to vacate the party offices in Kamwokya.
In his application filed before the Civil Division of High Court, Kyagulanyi, who is also the former NUP Presidential candidate says he has since filed a presidential election petition challenging the victory of the President Yoweri Museveni. However, he says that some of the evidence cannot be accessed due to the indefinite closure of the party offices since January 16 2021.
Kyagulanyi has filed his case against the Chief of Defense Forces General David Muhoozi, Inspector General of Police Martin Okoth Ochola, Commissioner of Police Moses Kafeero and the Attorney General.
They want the court to rule that the actions of security officers under the control of the security commanders in closing and blocking access indefinitely to the offices of NUP constitutes an outstanding infringement of the right to freedom of association, right to a fair hearing, and the civic rights enshrined in the Constitution.
