“Hon. Kyagulanyi Ssentamu was flown to Gulu Military Hospital for medical care but he is now okay. He was found with a gun and will be arraigned before the general court martial in Gulu tomorrow,” Gen. Ali told MPs in Parliament.

The other four MPs including Gerald Karuhanga, Francis Zaake and Paul Mwiru will appear before the Chief Magistrate Court in Gulu on Thursday and their files are being processed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

Government puts the total number of those arrested at 33 and that they are all detained at Gulu Central Police station.
