Uganda never runs out of drama. So this morning police had allegedly planned to hold Kyadondo East MP Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi under house arrest but the plan failed after the street-smart legislator spent the night “somewhere in the ghetto”. Police surrounded the legislator early in the morning only to be informed later that Bobi was already on his way to Parliament.

“So the Police surrounded my home in order to prevent me from going to Parliament today. I was was too smart for them, I instead spent the night somewhere in the ghetto”, Bobi Wine’s Facebook post read in part.




The panic driven Police then tried to use bodaboda  but the cyclists turned them down.

“As I was heading to Parliament, they blocked my car from around Kamwokya and tried to arrest me but I instead jumped onto a bodaboda. They tried to grab me off the boda but the riders fought them off. Then the Police officers also jumped onto bodabodas to chase me but the boda guys refused to carry the Police officers. I AM NOW AT PARLIAMENT”, he concluded.



The much anticipated plenary is underway.
