During plenary on December 18, the Speaker Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga summoned Rugunda to appear before the House the next day and explain why government continues to block Bobi Wine from performing at live concerts across the country.

Rugunda was a no show to the chagrin of Kyagulanyi and other MPs.

"Where is he? Why is he dodging us?" some of the MPs queried.

Later Parliament was told that Odong would deliver the statement on behalf of Rugunda. But even Odong, who was in the House, disappeared mysteriously.

Kyagulanyi used the platform to attack the Security Minister Gen. Elly Tumwine who on Tuesday described the ban as part of the occupational hazards.
