Bulambuli County Member of Parliament in Bulambuli District, Alex Burundo, and eleven of his supporters, have been arrested for holding an illegal procession.
Police in Sironko district under the command of the District Police Commander, Edison Muhangi, arrested the legislator in Sironko town Sunday night while leading a procession to Bulambuli district.
He is accused of defying government directives intended to stop the spread of Coronavirus by staging an illegal procession.
Through the procession, Burundo was reportedly celebrating his victory as the NRM Bulambuli county Parliamentary flag bearer following a declaration by the NRM tribunal on Tuesday.
He had earlier lost the flag to Isaac Katenya but petitioned the NRM electoral Commission and the tribunal overturned Kayenya’s victory.
Katenya had won the election with 8,753 votes against his 5,162.
The Elgon Region Police Spokesperson, Rogers Taitika says the legislator’s case file has been sent to the Resident State Attorney (RSA) for legal advice.
