Tororo District is one of the 10 districts that was earmarked by the Electoral Commission (EC) as no go areas for campaigns due to their surging numbers of CoviD-19 cases.
However, Amuriat like his counterpart NUP’s Bobi Wine vowed to defy the directive and today he insisted he would proceed to Tororo.
In the midst of the confrontation with security personnel, a good amount of Pepper Spray was directed to his face, causing a terrible irritation and need for medical advice.
Previously, Amuriat had resorted to applying baby Powder to his face as a means to reduce irritation from tear gas and pepper spray.
