Following the events that ensued immediately after nominating Robert Kyagulanyi to run for presidency of the republic of Uganda where part of the security team given to him by the electoral commission to protect him also took part in brutally arresting him, he had since then refused to work with them.
The Electoral Commission however has deployed a new security detail for the National Unity Platform-NUP presidential flag barer.
Now, Paul Bukenya, the acting Electoral Commission spokesperson says as a result of the engagements, the commission decided to withdraw the officers who failed their duties and replaced them with the new ones.
However, NUP through its spokesperson Joel Ssenyoyi have still paid a cold shoulder to the security detail.
“These officers are answerable to the same person, whether they bring new ones or old ones is all the same, we don’t want their security but if they feel like hanging around, we have no problem with them, they can be around just like any other Ugandan who may turn up for our candidate’s several campaign events,” Ssenyonyi said.
