Bobi Wine Heading To Mbarara City Today Amid Reported Threats

Bobi Wine announced last last week, that he would be embarking on a nationwide tour. He said he was starting with the western Uganda cities of Mbarara and Fort Portal. The tour, he said, is intended to strengthen the party’s grass-root structures in preparation for the next general elections.

It is understood that in Mbarara, Bobi Wine together with the top NUP leadership, plans to officially launch their party offices located on Makhan Singh street. They also plan to address members and structure leaders at Global High School playground. The politician is also expected to make an appearance on Radio Endigyoto at 11 a.m.

However, as of last evening, local media and some party members on social media reported that local leaders in Mbarara were threatening to block the NUP meeting. Unverified reports also alleged that the Resident District Commissioner, Emmy Kateera had sent out a warning to the proprietor of the meeting venue. He apparently tried to push him to cancel the meeting.

However, at last week’s press conference, David Rubongoya, the NUP Secretary General said they had duly informed the Police about their planned tour.

“They cannot say that we did not notify them; we even attached to the letter the details about the venues and the booking receipts,” he said.

Bobi Wine also warned the police not to dare interrupt this meeting.

“We do not want your protection… We just don’t want you to interfere in our business,” he said.

Police spokesman Fred Enanga said the Police had received and acknowledged the letter from NUP. However, he said they were yet to respond to them.
