Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has told off police that it cannot dictate who should and shouldn’t receive him tomorrow at Entebbe International Airport as he returns from USA.
Bobi Wine’s response comes at a time after police directing that the legislator will only be received by his family members and that he will be accorded security right from the airport up to his home in Magere.
However, it seems that Bobi Wine is not ready to follow the police directive.
In a Facebook post, Bobi Wine says no single family member will receive him at the airport, but he will be received by his friends, colleague leaders and artistes.
And that he will have to visit his sickly grandmother at Najjanankumbi, then proceed to Kamwokya for lunch with his family(brothers and sisters) before going to his home.
He wrote;
While in the waiting lounge here in Amsterdam, I just saw the Uganda Police spokesman Emilian Kayima and other senior police officers announcing that they will only allow my immediate family members to receive me from Entebbe Airport. They also said they will escort me to my home!!
Why do these police officers allow themselves to descend so low? They now want to decide who picks me and where I go upon arrival?
Well, for your information, no single family member will receive me at the airport, I will find them home coz I know where home is. I will be received by friends, colleague leaders and artistes. I will then go and see my sickly grandmother briefly at Najjanankumbi from where I will head to Kamwokya for lunch with my family (brothers and sisters) before I go to my home in Magere. I am a free Ugandan with the right to movement freely in my country. The police has no business telling me who receives me and who cannot or where I go and where I cannot. This impunity must stop!
Wama see you friends tomorrow.
