Security remains tight at Parliament, with all roads accessing and exiting the premises, including those leading to the President's office, remaining closed. Strict checks are in place along Jinja Road, allowing only authorized personnel, including MPs and staff, to proceed beyond the checkpoints. Notably, bodabodas (motorcycle taxis) and private vehicles, except those belonging to MPs and staff, are prohibited from accessing the area.
As of Tuesday's deployment, police personnel are now the primary security force on site, replacing the army and other agencies. These measures are intended to prevent potential protests by concerned Ugandans who had threatened to march to Parliament to demand action against corruption.
On Tuesday, any youth caught passing near Parliament was arrested, bundled onto patrol police vehicles, and taken to CPS. Several youths were arrested carrying placards demanding Speaker Anita Annet Among to resign, accusing her of engaging in acts of corruption. Police arrested protesters at Charm Towers on Kampala Road, the National Theatre, and Nasser Road, among other areas. More than 40 people were detained by security personnel during the crackdown and later sent to prison.
