Finance Minister Matia Kasaija has rebuked the Opposition Mps for continuing to hold public rallies instead of consultation meetings which later have turned violent in some areas.

One person was yesterday shot dead in Rukungiri District as Police dispersed people  from a rally convened by former presidential Candidate Col. Kiiza Besigye to address the public about the Age Limit Amendment Bill.

Kasaija said Opposition MPs should stop inciting the public under the guise of carrying out consultations because people's views cannot be noted during a rally. He said they should hold meetings.
