Tororo District, with a population of 609,939, will upon approval by Parliament, be split into three districts and a city with two divisions.

The government Chief Whip, Mr Hamson Obua, told reporters at Parliament on Friday that the caucus, upon receiving a report from Local Government minister Raphael Magyezi, also approved the carving of Bughendera District out of Bundibugyo District, with 264,778 people, going by the 2024 Census. “Having received the report of the minister of Local Government, the caucus resolved to support the creation of Mukuju District, Mulanda District, Kisoko District, and Tororo City in the Financial Year 2025/2026, subject to the law.

Police have dismissed allegations that they are kidnapping National Unity Platform (NUP) party members, insisting that recent arrests are part of lawful investigations.

In recent weeks, several NUP members have been picked up by security agencies, prompting the opposition party to accuse police of abductions.

Addressing journalists on Monday, Police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke said such claims are false and politically motivated.

“Since police began in 1906, we have been carrying out arrests, which is part of our mandate. If we listened to what politicians are claiming, it would mean every person who goes through police custody is being kidnapped,” Rusoke said.

Appearing for the appellant (Nalukoola), lawyer Remmy Bagenda requested more time, saying his team had not been able to comply with the earlier court directives.
