Askari magereza wa nchini Uganda aliyetambulika kwa jina la Lawrence Ampe amefukuzwa kazi baada ya kuikosoa serikali kupitia mtandao wa TikTok, huku mamlaka zikisema alichokifanya ni utovu mkubwa wa nidhamu na kuongeza kuwa Kanuni za kazi haziruhusu mtumishi wa umma kushiriki siasa.
Lawrence Ampe amekuwa akichunguzwa kutokana na machapisho yake kwenye mitandao ya kijamii yaliyowatuhumu maafisa wakuu wa serikali kwa rushwa, ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu na kuwatendea vibaya maafisa wa magereza wa ngazi za chini.
Upinzani umelaani hatua hiyo, ukiieleza kuwa ni ushahidi wa ukandamizaji wa kimfumo ndani ya sekta ya usalama.

A Uganda prison officer has been sacked for criticising the government on TikTok, in a rare move authorities said amounted to "gross indiscipline".
Lawrence Ampe had been under investigation over social media posts accusing senior government officials of corruption, human rights abuses and mistreatment of lower-ranking prison officers.
"The standing orders don't allow a public officer to participate in politics, which he is doing even now," prisons spokesman Frank Baine told the BBC, saying Ampe was sacked for "politicking in the wrong forum".
The opposition has condemned the move, describing it as evidence of "systemic oppression" and double standards within the security sector.
