The disgruntled youths say the continued incarceration of their Member of Parliament Paul Mwiru creates a serious vacuum in their representation in Parliament.

They vowed to continue demonstrating till government releases their MP Paul Mwiru and Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka whom they call their President.

Police led by Kiira Region Police Commander swung into action to disperse the rowdy rioters.

Rounds of gun shots were heard at the junction which connects Clive road East and Spire road.

Kiira Region Police Commander ACP Paul Nkore said they are ready to clear the town of the demonstrators.

Police was still patrolling most of the hot spots including Spire road, Kirinya road, Clive road, among others.
