She stated that she had reached an agreement with the police to present her with summons for any MPs targeted for arrest. “One thing I insisted to the Police is that, if you want to arrest my members, give the summons to me. Because originally, they would like to pick people anyhow, I said, give me the summons.” Among added.
Akamba, was violently re-arrested within the premises of the Anti-Corruption Court by JAT officers, sparking outrage from some MPs and other concerned Ugandans on Friday.
