Scores of UPDF soldiers have been deployed at Kasata Hussein Bukenya’s home in Kakiri after Kasta lost reportedly threatened to mobilize people in Kakiri to demonstrate on Christmas eve over high prices of commodities.
“Kasta is intimidating NRM supporters in Kakiri,” Ibin Senkumbi, the police spokesman for Kampala metropolitan region which includes Kakiri says. Senkumbi however denied allegations by Kasita that UPDF has deployed at his home.
Kasita too complains that UPDF and the police have deployed at and near his home and they are ferrying more soldiers in his constituency.
Kasita alleges that about 30 soldiers were deployed at his home last Thursday and more were deployed across Busiro north constituency. Kasita alleges that the government wants to intimidate him because his support in the area is big even although he lost the parliamentary victory to NRM candidate, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya.
