Roads leading to and around the parliamentary premises have been on cordoned off to the public for three days due to a film about President Yoweri Museveni’s struggle that is being produced.
The film, ‘27 Guns’ is being shot by a local production company, ‘Isaiah 60’, that is jointly owned by First Daughter Natasha Karugire, and her cousin sister Esteri Akandwanaho, a daughter to General Salim Saleh, President Museveni’s brother.
Isaiah 60 was recently launched at Kololo by Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda and, according to a statement, the company’s two partners Karugire and Akandwanaho were driven by a desire to take part in the unfolding African narrative and thus identity.
Meanwhile, the Director Communications and Public Affairs Chris Obore, said Isaiah 60 has sought permission from relevant authorities including police and Kampala City Council Authority to carry out their activities at Parliament.
He says during the three-day period, there will be increased movement of people along roads near Parliament, coupled with presences of actors in military fatigue and equipment.
The Parliamentary publicist further warns that here will also be stimulus gun sounds as the film crew and actors shoot the film.
“The general public is advised to avoid the roads around parliament as they will be sealed off to any traffic and also remain calm as there is no cause of alarm,” warns Obore.
He explains that the activities taking place at Parliament are entirely meant to facilitate the shooting and subsequent production of the film.
