The Parliament of Uganda has tightened its security and issued new guidelines following last week’s incidence when pigs entered Parliament. Now anyone driving into parliament premises is required to get out of their vehicles at Parliament’s main gate for thorough security checks before accessing the House’s premises.

Parliament’s Public Relations Manager, Helen Kawesa says that the number of security officers at the House has also been increased and that the gate leading to the president’s office closed for security reasons.

Museveni’s office at parliament can now be accessed through parliament’s main gate. The number of vehicles and people at the main gate has also increased.
