The members of the Democratic Party’s youth wing have asked the Katikkiro of Buganda, Eng. JB Walusimbi to give medals to the former Buganda riot suspects. The Buganda riot suspects walked to freedom on Monday after the High Court found them not guilty of any offence.

The Uganda Young Democrats (UYD) chief in charge of publicity, Issa Muwonge says that Buganda should give the former suspects medals and plots of land.

Muwonge says that the medals should be for recognition of their love for Buganda under “absolute suppression of traditional leaders currently going on in the country.’ The DP activist says that these people who participated in Buganda riots should be given medals because they suffered and they were tortured over their love for Buganda kingdom and the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi.
