Kasese Woman MP, Winnie Kiiza said on Facebook that nine heavily armed gunmen had invaded her country home in Kiburara, Kasese on Sunday night demanding to see her husband. 

The former Leader of Opposition in Parliament also alleged that two other gunmen had attacked the home on Friday but found nobody thanks to a tip-off from a close friend.

“On Friday night two armed men spent the night in my compound in Kasese, waiting for my husband to come home and they shoot him. Some friend of ours tipped us and he did not go home that Friday night.

“As I am posting this message, again, nine armed men in military uniform have surrounded our house again in Kiburara Kasese. All of them armed to the teeth with machine guns and RPGs,” Kiiza wrote on her Facebook late last night. 

In a telephone interview with Matooke Republic on Monday morning, Kiiza confirmed the presence of the gunmen wearing military uniform adding that she has informed the Speaker of Parliament about the situation. 

“My family and I are Ugandan citizens who are entitled to all rights. This kind of situation has been around my Kampala residence too in the last few weeks,” she noted.
