Police have banned public political gatherings following threats by the Al shabaab terrorists that they plan to bomb Kampala again in order to punish Uganda for having sent her troops on a peace keeping mission in Somalia.

The suspected terrorists bombed Uganda’s neighbour Kenya last week and the Kampala Metropolitan police commander, Felix Kaweesi says the police can’t allow a big number of people to hold meetings in any place without access controls.

He says that even if the organisers of the functions notify police the police has a right to put down the requests the moment it sees that there would be no security for people in attendance.

However Col. Kiiza Besigye of FDC says that they will continue with their meetings across the country because it is their human right to assemble and it is the work of police to give them protection.
