Elections Under Fire: Police Brutality vs. Political Accountability in Uganda. part 3

Is Uganda ready for the upcoming elections, or is the country heading toward a crisis of accountability?

In this heated panel discussion, Hon. Ssemujju Nganda and representatives from the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) and security agencies face off over the state of the electoral ground. From the "devaluation" of the office of the MP to the "notorious" conduct of security officers on the campaign trail, no stone is left unturned.

We dive deep into the looming fears of an internet shutdown, the rise of alleged state-sponsored kidnaps, and the disturbing trend of "mediocrity" in leadership.

Key topics discussed:

The "Voter Competence" crisis: Do Ugandans know what they are voting for?

Security Brutality: Naming specific officers accused of assaulting journalists and candidates.

The Internet Shutdown: Will the UCC and government silence the digital space again?

Accountability: Why "internal policing" within the UPDF and Police is failing the public.
