Police in Kampala blocked the launch of a book that is thought to critic President Yoweri Museveni.

The book, titled ‘Unsowing the Mustard Seed’ reportedly seeks to contradict President Museveni’s autobiography ‘Sowing the Mustard Seed’.

The book was scheduled to be launched by anti-Museveni activists under their umbrella union Jobless Brotherhood.

They are also known for using yellow-painted pigs in their protests.

The book launch was expected to be presided over by former Supreme court Judge George Wilson Kanyeihamba.

Kampala lord mayor Erias Lukwago and former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye were also expected to attend the event.

However, Kampala North Regional Police Commander Wesley Nganizi and Wandegeya District Police Commander Moses Nanoka stormed Amazing Grace gardens, which was the venue of the event all people in attendance to disperse.

Jobless Brotherhood President Norman Tumuhimbise on the contrary says the book is not aimed at tarnishing the image of the president but rather seeks to highlight the major challenges Ugandans have faced since the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) captured power in 1986.

Tumuhimbise says that after reading Museveni’s autobiography and listening to other ‘credible’ narratives and accounts of people present during the NRA liberation struggle, he found that Museveni was short on some truths in his book which was vised to a newer version and relaunched last year.

There are currently no distribution of copies as yet for the public.
