“Any person who has carried him as the party leader shall be individually responsible for their harmful actions unless he or she has been given that mandate by the party leader’s conference, through the rightful process,” Oyat said.

“We don’t know where exactly Lukwago is because his legal firm, led by Medad Ssegonna, tried to go to the Natete police station to report the case, but it refused. They proceeded to the CID offices, and the same thing happened. However, they decided to write to the CID headquarters about Lukwago's arrest and his incommunicado detention,” Lulume said.

“This is a place of sacrifice. The NRM is a party of sacrifice,” President Museveni said, warning against leaders who use public office for personal gain.

"We have carefully studied the National Budget for the Financial Year 2026/27 presented to Parliament on June 11, 2026, totaling UGX 84.39 trillion. After going through every figure and every allocation, we reached a conclusion that this budget was not written for the ordinary Ugandan. The budget was made for the comfort of those in power," Centenary said.

"I have worked with Dr. Kizza Besigye, and he believes in working with everybody in the struggle against the life presidency and family rule. I think Bobi Wine believed in himself and his group, and they thought that only they would do the work; and everyone had to go home," Ssemujju said.

“We have all the reasons to believe that Lukwago has been arrested by the CDF because he had filed several applications since Besigye was arrested in Nairobi, including that on human rights enforcement, which Justice Baguma endorsed for hearing on June 30th, 2026, at the High Court,” Ssemuju said.

“Now, every time the Budget is read, we hear just increments of taxes on most consumable products such as alcohol, and sugar, among others. How would you expect me to listen to something that bothers me more? The President should instead downsize the district security structures where people are fond of playing the same roles,” Kayiira said.
