Internal Affairs Minister Gen. Kahinda Otafiire is unhappy with the way Parliament pushed police to arrest the former Rubaga Resident City Commissioner Herbert Anderson Burora.
Burora was arrested on Sunday night from his home by the police attached to parliament. He was later taken to Kira Division police where he spent the night before he was transferred to Central Police Station (CPS) for grilling.
Security sources say Burora is being detained for annoying the person of the Speaker through his X handler. He been to remanded to Luzira prison until July 9.
“My home has been besieged by unknown men who claim that I should go with them,” Burora wrote on his x handle (formerly twitter).
Burora was in March this year suspended from the office over alleged violation of the Uganda Public Service standing orders 2021 because he openly criticised the Speaker of Parliament Annet Anita Among for corruption and misuse of public funds at Parliament.
Burora recently formed a National Resistance Movement (NRM) group to fight corruption.
He has resisted attempts by the RDC Secretariat under President’s Office to silence his views against corruption at Parliament and other public bodies.
Security sources told Eagle Online the of the head of police at parliament Charles Twino led the operation to arrest Burora.
The same sources say Twino is being used to trail the critics of Speaker Among in and outside parliament.
Radio One Journalist Jude Bukenya was arrested at CPS in similar circumstances and banned from covering parliament.
No charges have been leveled against Bukenya.
