Veteran journalist Andrew Mwenda has come out to condemn the wave of violence Police is deploying to counter the political tactics of the opposition, especially, the People Power outfit.
This follows a video shared on twitter by a tweep showing Police firing tear gas in residential areas in Kasangati where Bobi Wine was arrested on his way to his consultation meeting in Gayaza.
The tear gas endangered the lives of babies and mothers could be seen abandoning their houses with their children running to get breathable air.
Andrew Mwenda took to his Twitter immediately and wrote, “Watching this video is saddening! As Museveni walks through Luwero, does he remember that this kind of Police/army brutality justified his bush war? Can’t NRM respond to Bobi Wine’s political moves with counter political mobilization? Andrew Mwenda tweeted and wondered further why security units resort to violent tactics.
Andrew Mwenda is known to be a vocal NRM defender and it took social media by surprise to see him criticize the political faction.
