Justice Minister Norbert Mao criticises Electoral Commission over Gulu attacks on NUP campaign

Justice Minister Norbert Mao accused the Electoral Commission of failing to act against people who attacked NUP presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi and his supporters in Gulu the previous week, saying the attackers had been caught on camera. Speaking at the launch of the 30th Annual Report on Security, Governance and Justice in Uganda, he also criticised security agencies, saying more than 450 NUP supporters had been detained during the campaign, many beyond legal time limits. He called for an end to trials of civilians in military courts.
