Police Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID) have carried out a search and seizure operation in the homes of three legislators in connection to corruption.

The three, Yusuf Mutembuli, Cissy Namujju and Paul Akamba, were on Monday morning summoned to the CID at Kibuli for questioning.

Police would later detain the legislators. The trio was transferred to Kira Police Division cells, where they spent a night.

The arrests come on the back of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s revelation during the State of the Nation Address that he finally had received evidence against a corrupt cartel and pledged to crush them.

Museveni noted that he had been getting good information about corrupt actors among the public servants but also among the political actors.

“I have been hearing that from the Ministry of Finance, they collude with the accounting officers of ministries to come to Parliament working with some people there (Parliament) to provide certain funds, provided you take a share. I didn’t believe this but now I have proof,” said Museveni.

He added, “With firm evidence, I will crush these traitors. Public servants and political leaders that steal Government money will be crushed.”

Parliament is reportedly tensed up following the arrest of the three MPs. Several legislators have told SoftPower News that some of their colleagues are holed up in the countryside out of fear they could be arrested. They insist everyone should carry their cross.
