The deputy commandant of Kampala Metropolitan Police East, Bashir Ssempala, has said political symbolism is banned from Mandela National Stadium on Saturday when Uganda Cranes takes on Cape Verde in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

While on a presser earlier this week Ssempala cautioned;

“On that day we are not going to allow political colours. This is sports which combines everybody irrespective of our political backgrounds so we shall allow people to have Uganda Cranes t-shirts but not those of political parties.”

Well this will be a huge blow to people power fans who had found a habit of carry placards with writings which praise their hero Hon. Bobi Wine and Red Berets.
