As earlier stated on social media, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu also known as Bobi Wine managed to accomplish his word as it came to pass today morning. Bobi and a group of other people stormed the city and began their protests against the recent Social Media tax and the Mobile Money tax that had made almost every Ugandan at least understand a pinch on what this times financial budget was all about.

The demonstration started from Mini Price heading to the Parliament as demonstrators moved in a Cain format to keep them solid from any destructions. 

Bobi Wine joined by other activists in Kampala on July 11, 2018 in Kampala during a demonstration to protest a controversial tax on the use of social media.

However, as they approached the City Square, they were invaded by the police which could not allow the demonstrations to continue towards the parliament. They started rioting with the police and teargas with live bullets immediately filled the air. All this was happening as the police tried to pull Bobi to their ‘Kabagali.’

Nonetheless, this did not stop the people from flexing with police as they tried to save their MP and within a few minutes, ‘People Power’ manged to overwhelm the police and the Ghetto President was smuggled to one of the nearby building however it didn’t stop the police from the hunt. They managed to enter the building and continued with the search and people immediately tipped Bobi and quickly he disappeared.

Later on, the police got to know that Bobi Wine’s next stop was at parliament as he was being interviewed by some of the journalists on exactly what was going on.

The failed search again scorned police as they now plan to write a letter to the Speaker of Parliament demanding for the arrest of one of her members for further questioning.
