Grenade attacks have taken place at the homes of two Ugandan opposition MPs, including singer-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi.
Mr Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, said he was targeted for opposing the ruling party’s plan to scrap the presidential age limit.
Mr Kyagulanyi and MP Allan Ssewanyana said their homes shook and windows were shattered by the explosions.
A government spokesman denied the government was behind the blasts.
“Flash grenades at opposition MPs’ homes could be own scare tactics to frame government,” Ofwono Opondo was quoted by the state-allied New vision newspaper. “There is no record or history of this NRM government killing political opposition,” he added.
Mr Kyagulanyi said he had received death threats on a daily basis because of his opposition to the removal of the presidential age limit.
He would not be intimidated by the “cowardly” attacks, he said
“Thankfully no-one is hurt. But what kind of country are we now living in?” he added in a Facebook post.
Mr Ssewanyana said the attacks took place in the early hours of Tuesday.
Last week, an explosive device was thrown into the property of another opposition MP, Moses Kasibante.
He is not ready and I’m not sure the timing is right now or the near future since Ugandans aren’t ready for that arrangement. If I was M7 I would change his campaign from being about him to be about the people. He needs to provide the peoples needs and show that he could deliver more if they keep him not the other way round. After that he can say he wants his son to finish the job to fulfill their needs.
