DECEASED: Ritah Nabukenya died under unclear circumstances.

State Minister for Internal Affairs Obiga Kania has demanded for fresh investigations into the death of People Power member Ritah Nabukenya who was involved in an accident behind Nakawa market.

While appearing on the floor of Parliament yesterday, Kania said Police could have lied about the lack of functional CCTV cameras when Nabukenya was knocked dead. The Minister explained that all the installed CCTV cameras especially in Kampala are all functioning without any fail.

He revealed that they have already engaged the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Martin Okoth Ochola who also ordered his men to carry out fresh investigations.

The People Power camp has continuously demanded for CCTV footage of the incident in which they claim a Police patrol intentionally knocked Nabukenya before running over her body, losing her life in the process.

Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga denied the allegations saying that Nabukenya was knocked by another boda boda. On the footage, he claimed the CCTV cameras were off as they had no power during the occurrence of the incident.
