Minister Baryomunsi says government is not pursuing Kyagulanyi and urges him to return home

Civic Space & Media Freedom Disputed Uganda (national) 25 Jan 2026 Severity: 1/5

Information Minister Chris Baryomunsi told NBS TV on Sunday evening that Robert Kyagulanyi was not being pursued by the police or army and should return home, and said the security presence at his home was to monitor visitors. The Daily Monitor notes that this contradicts Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who has said the military is looking for the NUP leader.

A national event, not tied to one district.

Disputed: Baryomunsi says Kyagulanyi is not being pursued by police or army, while Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba says the military is looking for him and Kyagulanyi describes a manhunt.
