Members of parliament to get Commando Guards and Amoured Vehicles

Members of Parliament will each get a sniper security guards and a follow-up armoured vehicle on top of their usual police bodyguards, President Museveni has revealed.

“Each MP will now have a marksman with a body armour, bulletproof four wheel-drive escort vehical with an open carriage bed, in addidtion to police guards,” a statement signed by the president reads.

This revealation follows an outcry by mostly NRM MPs to the president that lives were threatened and their police bodyguards were afraid to move in the same vehicles with them.

In his response, the president ordered the Chief of Defence Forces to deploy the UPDF to guard the legislators – a directive that caused a public uproar as critics noted that the army should protect all citizens, not just the ‘VIPs.’

Museveni also ordered the Inspector General of Police, Okoth Ochola to sack police offices that refuse to guard MPs.
