Parliament has blocked the immediate former minister of state for internal affairs Matia Kasaija from presenting a government statement on what happened on Thursday during FDC party president Dr. Kiiza Besigye’s return.

Minister Matia Kasaija

Kasaija was called upon by the government chief whip to present the statement as the minister of internal affairs the order that was opposed by MPs saying that he has no powers to present as a minister since his term ended on Thursday.

The speaker ordered him to just lay the document on table and use other venues to communicate to the public.

In the statement Kasaija said that government is yet to confirm the death of people yesterday but says that they have not yet confirmed any death.

He however says that if anyone died he regrets the death. Kasaija says that government is in place to protect the lives of the people but not to eliminate lives.
