Following the statement released by the U.S embassy putting travel bans to government officials last week, citing that the recently concluded national elections were filled with violence and rigging, NUP party leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu has released a statement applauding the move.
Kyagulanyi who came second in the polls behind NRM leader and current president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, strongly contested the results, going on to file a petition which he later withdrew saying the judges were on the side of the one being accused.
Part of the statement released today on his Facebook, Kyagulanyi continues to sting the ruling regime and accuses it of spearheading the killings and kidnapping of Ugandans. "The victims of the worst human rights violation which we have witnessed, including families of hundreds of Ugandans murdered on Gen. Museveni's orders.
Thousands of abductions and torture, as well as those who are still under illegal detention have recieved this news with gratitude." Reads part of the statement.
