NUP founder Kibalama makes public appearance

Early this week, security agencies confirmed holding Kabalama over security matters.

Moses Kibalama, the founder of the National Unity Platform (NUP) party, has made a public appearance after days of speculation about his whereabouts.

Kibalama appeared in court on Friday where he is set to be cross-examined in a case concerning the ownership of NUP, currently headed by Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi.

On Wednesday, NUP and other party members asked security to explain the whereabouts of the party founder after reports indicated that his home was raided by a combined force of police and UPDF personnel under unclear reasons.

The army spokesperson Brig. Flavia Byekwaso said Kibalama is in safe custody, following reports of threats and planned attacks by unknown groups.
