The Activists for Change organized walk to work protests have continued for the 4th day in two weeks, despite President Museveni’s warning that the mostly opposition leaders will not be allowed to walk to work.

Several opposition leaders have today begun walking to work and reports indicate a number of arrests have already been done by the police.
But like in all previous ones, Forum for Democratic Change president, Dr. Kizza Besigye was arrested by police in Kalerwere. Others already arrested include Ibrahim Semuju Nganda, the MP elect for Kyadondo North.
The walk to work activists say they are protesting the high cost of living in Uganda occasioned by high inflation and high prices of food, fuel and other basic necessities. The Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. kale Kayihura however says the “walkers” have not asked for police permission and will not be allowed to walk.
