When tear gas was unleashed, Kyagulanyi fled for the heels and resurfaced in Parliament where the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Ruhakana Ruganda assured the members that government had listened to the citizen’s cries and was reviewing the Excise Duty Bill on the said taxes.

The Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda has made a statement to Parliament on the OTT and Mobile money tax. He says the president has considered public concerns and proposed that a bill on the said tax is discussed in Parliament next week on Thursday. #PlenaryUg pic.twitter.com/AmRUUB8XHk
