New Arua MP, Kasiano Wadri believes the manner in which Special Forces Command pounced on to them could have been as a result of them angering President Yoweri Museveni.
Wadri, Robert Kyagulanyi, Francis Zaake, Gerald Karuhanga and Paul Mwiru were in Arua at the time President Museveni visited the West Nile city to campaign for NRM candidate, Nusura Tiperu.
The Arua MP sworn in today, claims the President was angered by the crowds they had.
MP Wadri, who appeared on NBS TV, explained: “The NRM rally only had children and I think that’s what annoyed him, how on earth would anybody harm the president, he’s the fountain of honor.”
He went on: “I never ever saw president Museveni in Arua, neither did I come close to his motorcade, we were in totally different areas for our rallies but I think what caused problems for us were the large crowds we had.”
