The Leader of Opposition (LoP) Matthias Mpuuga wants a special parliamentary inquest into human rights violations committed by soldiers deployed on Uganda’s lakes.
This is after fishermen at Kigungu landing site in Entebbe told him of brutality meted out to them by soldiers camped at Nfo Island which is adjacent to the landing site.
This is as the LOP continues to traverse the central region in his oversight visits.
Shadow Minister for Fisheries, Helen Nakimuli, wants the Defense and Veteran Affairs Minister, Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja, be investigated for alleged involvement in illegal fishing as some reports suggest that the Minister, through a one Kaweesi, owns 100s of fishing boats with inscriptions “wacha waseme” that are used in illegal fishing activities
Entebbe Municipality MP, Michael Kakembo, says some well-placed persons in the government had parceled out the landing site into plots in total disregard of the NEMA Act which created a 200-metre buffer zone.
