Police have increased deployment in Kiruhura, Mbarara, Bushenyi, Kabale and Rukungiri after the outlawed For God and my Country (4GC) pressure group launched its new phase of activities in the above mentioned districts.

The 4GC formerly A4C (activists for change) have camped in westernUganda with the purpose of holding rallies in western Uganda for a full week. The police leadership has confirmed the deployment and its readiness to disperse the organisers of these illegal rallies.

According to the 4GC coordinator, Mathias Mpuuga (Masaka Municipality MP), the rallies will move to other districts of western Uganda.

Mpuuga says that 4GC is not only bent on Kampala but it wants to reach out to people of western Uganda and tell them how their NRM government has failed in its duties to serve all Ugandans equally. From western Uganda, Mpuuga says that the members of 4GC will move its rallies to the eastern regions of Teso, where a number of rallies will be held before moving to the north.

However, the inspector general of police, Lt. Kale Kayihura says that the 4GC rallies will not be allowed since the group was outlawed in April by the Attorney General and the appeal case that the leaders of 4GC filed in court is yet to be heard and decided upon.

The A4C and consequently 4GC was banned by the Attorney General a couple of months back and as such no activities are allowed to be carried out by the group.

The 4GC has not made official communication to police that it is set to conduct 4GC rallies in western Uganda, Eastern Uganda and Northern Ugandarespectively.
