The Ugandan opposition politicians have said that though they condemn the acts of the Al-Shabab, they are scared the government wants to kill the opposition leaders in pretext of the Al-Shabab terrorism.

The statement of the ploy to kill the opposition politicians has come after the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura this week issued letters to opposition leaders informing them of the Al-Shabab plans to hit opposition politicians.

The FDC Spokesperson, Wafula Ogutu says that though they cannot dismiss the allegation of the Al-Shabab targets, they are suspicious government wants to hurt the opposition politicians under cover of Al-Shabab terrorism.

The copies of the letter all the opposition accent to have received from the IGP ask the opposition leaders to beef up their security due to police reliable intelligence information that the Somali based Al-Shabab want to heat them.

Kayihura uses the same letter to advise the opposition leaders to take extra precaution for their own security at home, work and business engagement; a statement the opposition interpret as the IGP’s tactical muting of the walk to work and driving-riding hoot campaigns against high prices of commodities.

The letter also gives the option of the opposition leaders to seek for state security if they cannot improvise personally.

Some opposition leaders including Norbert Moa DP, Olara Otunu UPC and Sam Lubega Independent met at Uganda House (UPC headquarters) on May 25 and resolved to meet the IGP for clarification of the letter.
