Security agencies are planning to combat events organized by an opposition campaign led by Dr. Kizza Besigye that seeks to protest injustice and the rising prices of fuel and basic products.
The police spokesperson, Fred Enanga, said Dr. Besigye is planning violent demonstrations in the country but added that they would not allow him to continue organizing them.
“Dr. Besigye is reactivating their Power 10 structure in all cells within the Kampala Metropolitan area to purposefully breach peace, cause disorder and lawlessness in the city,” Enanga said.
“We shall not allow any acts that are in breach of the prevailing peace and security to occur. Our response team is on standby and they will respond swiftly targeting the ringleaders, the instigators of violence, the perpetrators and participants,” he added.
Enanga said Dr. Besigye has managed to recruit at least five people in each cell, who will demonstrate.
He advised him to use legitimate methods such as expressing grievances to Members of Parliament.
However, while meeting activists from the Justice Forum (Jeema) headquarters in Kampala City last week, Dr. Besigye said their meetings are intended to talk about the crisis the country is going through and forge ways of saving Uganda.
