Although President Museveni dismissed reports that the people were missing but noted security organs had arrested them over various offences, Hon Kyagulanyi released a list more than 200 missing persons yet today security only has 177 persons in their custody.
“Therefore, the talk of disappearance should be ignored because it can’t happen under the NRM. Even if a mistake is made it will be addressed and answered. There is nothing we do and hide. I was hearing in the papers that there is a stampede on the issue of disappearance. Every Ugandan under NRM will be accounted for.” President Museveni said.
