“She is quite an amazing person trying to do her job. You are 10 people, see someone well dressed in her uniform and you choose to fight her! If there is, these people should be subjected to training.”
Consequently, Frank Gashumba, a public figure and friend to Dr. Lawrence Muganga also expressed a number for concerns. According to him, if they can arrest a vice chancellor like that, how about a lay man.
“If they can embarrass and humiliate a vice chancellor of a university in broad day light, what happens if they picked you after midnight? If he committed a crime, why don’t you summon him.”
Meanwhile, the UPDF spokesperson, Brig Flavia Byekwaso in a statement said they arrested Muganga who holds a Canadian passport over cases of espionage and illegal stay in the country.
Apparently, a number of commentators insisted that the proper procedure was summoning him before arrest but not humiliating him.
