Since their release on February 13th, bailed legislators Allan Ssewanyana and Muhammad Ssegirinya had not jointly addressed the media on matters their release!
Speaking to the media on Wednesday afternoon at their party offices in Kampala, the duo Stressed that there were no negotiations with the state ahead of their release.
“There was no negotiation. It was the law that worked for us as well as the pressure from journalists, religious, cultural leaders and our party leaders,” the pair jointly asserted.
They further explained questioning the need of government's intervention yet they had credible lawyers headed by Kampala Lord Mayor Salongo Erias Lukwago whose linen in the legal profession is crystal clean.
On why they have been silent since their release, the duo cited sickness that could not allow them appear before the media not until they became better.
Even after 17 months in incarceration without trial, the two ailing MPs are empowered to continued to start from where they stopped with activism.
