When NRM NEC big-wig and Uganda’s Ambassador to Burundi, Maj. Gen. Matayo Kyaligonza and his bodyguards went about roughing up a traffic policewoman in Seeta yesterday, after she allegedly tried to get them to respect traffic rules, one brave journalist stood by and captured the incident on camera using his smart phone. This is UBC sports journalist, Peter Otai.

It wasn’t easy for Otai, as he has since narrated how he too was roughed up for capturing the incident on camera, let alone trying to speak up for Sgt. Esther Namaganda (the Traffic Police Officer who was being manhandled).

Otai hasalready narrated how Maj. Gen. Kyaligonza’s bodyguards drew swords at him and manhandled him too while threatening to slice him because he had captured their ugly conduct on camera. He has opened up a case of assault against the Major General and his bodyguards at Seeta Police Station.
