Police have said there is a hidden motive behind the planned anti corruption march to Parliament.
Addressing the country on Monday, Police spokesperson, Kituuma Rusoke said last week ,they met with the organisers of the planned protest but noted, they realized there is something else behind the protest.
“Whereas there are individuals who emerged and owned the intended march, we know these four are not the organisers. There are other people who are behind the march and with hidden motives,” Rusoke said.
The police spokesperson said whereas during the meeting, they tried to dissuade the organisers to drop the idea of the march but all in vain.
He however warned they will not allow the march to parliament.
“We reiterate our position we shall not tolerate disorderly conduct .We understand, feel and acknowledge the existence of rights of individuals but we have a duty we can’t run away from we cant delegate and gamble over, to keep law and order.”
Right
Organisers of tomorrow’s march insist that it is their right to engage in a peaceful protest and they say, they will exercise this right.
However, speaking on Monday, police said the rights being talked about are not absolute but subject to limitations and it is where we have drawn lines.
“We have to take concerns of rights of others. The longer you fail to appreciate the rights of others, the longer you will take without enjoying yours. You need to understand extent to which people crying victim are playing a game of aggression,” Kituuma Rusoke said.
He said whereas previously there have been many processions allowed to happen, some have generated into chaos, a situation he said they cant allow to happen this time.
