Police in Entebbe Division, under Kampala Metropolitan Police South, are investigating an attack on Hon. Kinobere Hebert, the Member of Parliament for Kibuku County, and other NRM-leaning mourners on 25 October 2026 during the burial of Hon. Matovu Charles, the former Member of Parliament for Busiro South in Kungu Lutale along Nakawuka road.
A group of NUP political activists allegedly opposed to the presence of NRM supporters attacked the mourners and damaged Hon. Kinobere’s car, including deflating its tyres. Hon. Kinobere reportedly had to escape from the scene to avoid harm.
Police intervened, secured the attacked mourners, including those who had sought refuge, and arrested 20 suspects, who are detained at Entebbe Police Station pending investigations.
We urge the public to respect mourners regardless of political affiliation and refrain from violence, intimidation and destruction of property.
