Ms Teddy Nakaliga, a reporter with NTV and Spark TV, and Mr Amon Kayanja of Salt TV, were yesterday assaulted by Military Police personnel while covering a demonstration by residents protesting a two-week power blackout in Kayunga Village, Wakiso District.

The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has said there are groups of individuals plotting violence, threatening to disrupt President Museveni’s inauguration on May 12.
Addressing journalists at Naguru Police headquarters Monday, UPDF spokesperson, Brig Flavia Byekwaso said they have got “credible information” about a section of Ugandans planning to disrupt the swearing in ceremony of the elected president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
I would like to bring to your attention the continued hate speech by a section of individuals through help of foreigners; they think they can stop the swearing-in of President Museveni, said Byekwaso .
