Uganda -             Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi  known as Bobi Wine is not free to leave his home in Magere at the moment, the minister of state for Internal Affairs Mario Obiga Kania has said.

The controversial politician  has been under house arrest since Easter Monday, and minister Obiga yesterday told parliament that he will remain so because the state suspects that he has committed a crime.

“Hon Kyagulanyi is a free man within the confines of his home. He is not being detained at his home as a politician, he is being detained as Robert Kyagulanyi whom the police say has committed some crimes,” Obiga stated

The minister said Kyagulanyi is expected to report to the Crime Intelligence and Investigations Department (CIID) headquarters in Kibuli this week to make a statement about his alleged crimes.

Deputy speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanyah however told Obiga that even in the event that Kyagulanyi committed a crime, his home is not a designated detention centre and the state ought to follow the law while enforcing the same.

Kyagulanyi was arrested on Monday and forcefully driven back into his home after attempting to access his One Love Beach in Busabala.

Security has since laid a siege to his home with the legislator's movements and visitors restricted. On Sunday, police cancelled his 'Kyarenga Extra' show at his One Love Beach, arguing that he failed to guarantee the security of the expected revellers.

Police director of operations Asuman Mugenyi argued that Kyagulanyi's previous music concerts held at One Love Beach fell short of security guidelines.

The force director further claimed that Bobi Wine's shows have severally turned into a public nuisance, violated traffic rules and regulations and caused other misconducts, which don’t only breach the law, but endanger the lives of other people who are not even part of his music events.
