[Emmanuel Kipchumba, Standard] The Kenyan chapter of Uganda's People Power Movement has condemned ongoing human rights violations in Uganda, including the recent shooting of opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine. The movement, which is affiliated with the National Unity Platform (NUP) Political Party, accused the Ugandan government of systematically targeting opposition figures and their supporters both within the country and abroad to suppress dissent. On Wednesday, September 4, Alex Mukasa, leader of the NUP's Kenyan chapter, also criticised Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for his recent remarks about Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, calling them reckless. Museveni had hit out a Babu Owino for supporting his political opponents, alleging that "some characters in Raila Odinga's group do not know what they are doing." "Museveni is afraid of young people taking leadership. We condemn the unfortunate sentiments directed at Babu Owino by Museveni. The president should know that the region is ripe for change, and his time is up," Mukasa stated. Activist Namugalu Mariam also remarked on the matter, urging the Ugandan government to release those arrested during recent protests. "Our constitution guarantees the right to peaceful protest, but Museveni's government ignores this at will. He does whatever he wants. We are calling on him and the justice system in Uganda to follow the constitution and release all peaceful protesters. "People are being abducted and killed. No one knows where these individuals are taken. To this day, there are people in Uganda who have been missing for five years, and we still don't know their whereabouts," Namugalu claimed.
