Uganda to step up security for election in hotspots

[beth]

Security forces in Uganda have said that they will beef up deployments in 39 districts across the country, considered hotspots for violence.

The announcement comes on the last day of campaigning ahead of Thursday’s general election.

The two months of campaigning have been dominated by violence and the arrest of opposition politicians and their supporters.

Police said that fuel tankers, vehicles carrying explosives and other heavy lorries will not be allowed in the centre of the capital, Kampala, on polling day.

They are worried that such materials could be used by protesters.

Roadside parking of cars will also be blocked in Kampala.

Last week, Uganda's police chief Martin Ochola warned that "whoever causes trouble will regret why his or her mother gave birth to him or her".

In November, riots broke out when presidential candidate Bobi Wine was arrested at a campaign rally.

Officials say the deployment of security forces during the elections is aimed at maintaining peace, but critics see it as an attempt at voter intimidation.

Umejichanganyaje kuingia huko kwa dictator kipindi cha karibia kabisa na siku ya kura?

Mfano wa madikteta tulionao Afrika Mashariki, ameitawala Uganda karibia miaka thelathini lakini bado anatumia jeshi kubaki madarakani, sasa si bora akagombee Urais wa jeshini kama anakubalika huko, halafu wananchi awaachie wamchague Rais wao wamtakae.

M7 ni shida aliwahi kusema

‘I hear some people saying that I am their servant, I am not a servant of anybody. I am a freedom fighter, that is what I do. I don’t do it because I am your servant, I’m not your servant. I am just a freedom fighter, I am fighting for myself or my beliefs. That’s how I come in, I’m not an employee.

‘‘If anybody thinks he gave me a job, he is deceiving himself. I am just a freedom fighter whom you thought could help you also,’.
