Mathias Mpuuga, the parliamentary leader of opposition, on Tuesday said the MPs had initiated a process to censure Security Minister Maj-Gen Jim Muhwezi over his failure to rein in security operatives implicated in kidnappings and torture.
Public debate on torture peaked over the past weeks following the arrest and torture of award-winning author Kakwenza Rukirabasaija, who was picked from his home by military officials after a tweeting spree about President Yoweri Museveni and his son, Lt-Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Mr Rukirabasaija was later charged with offensive communication.
