There was drama at Luwero Diocese Guest House in Luwero town after Policemen besieged a meeting called by State Minister for Tourism Godfrey Kiwanda to arrest district officials of the National Resistance Movement Party who are accused of embezzlement.
Kiwanda who is also NRM Vice Chairperson for the central region had invited NRM Party leaders and former party candidates from Greater Luwero districts at Luwero Diocese Guest House to evaluate their performance in the 2021 general elections.
However, as the meeting went on, policemen led by Issa Balikitenda, the Officer in Charge of the Criminal Investigations Department at Luwero Central Police Station surrounded the hotel and ordered Zenar Nasur the District NRM Vice Chairperson to hand herself in for questioning over a fraud case.
Policemen were tipped off by Councilors who accuse Nasur together with Party publicist secretary Wasswa Tamale for allegedly embezzling 29 million Shillings which was disbursed by the NRM Party secretariat to facilitate candidates for district council positions and their agents on polling day.
Kiwanda ordered the Policemen to vacate the hotel premises and instead call their District Police Commander to reach him but the police officers refused to heed to his demand leading to a verbal exchange between the policemen and Kiwanda’s aides.
After the meeting Kiwanda pleaded with Policemen to allow him to drive Nasur to Luwero Central Police with the police convoy where he met the area District Police Commander Abraham Tukundane briefly before surrendering Nasur to the CID detectives for a statement.
