Police have arrested another group of youths from Rooted in Resistance after they attempted to march to Parliament to deliver a petition calling for reforms in Uganda’s petroleum policies and national investment priorities.

The arrests come weeks after a similar attempt on August 10, when police blocked the group’s march and arrested four youths.

The latest group was also intercepted as they sought to reach Parliament, where they intended to hand over their petition to lawmakers.

In the petition, the youths are calling for changes in how Uganda manages its petroleum resources and allocates national investments. They argue that national resources should be redirected towards productive sectors capable of creating sustainable and broadly shared wealth.

The group is also questioning the country’s investment priorities, urging Parliament to consider policies that can generate wider economic opportunities rather than concentrating resources in sectors with limited benefits to ordinary Ugandans.

The arrests have renewed attention on the group’s campaign, which seeks to put petroleum policy, public investment and the distribution of national wealth at the centre of public debate.
