Police have said a total of 104 have been arrested so far during this week's anti-corruption protests in Kampala.
The anti-corruption demonstrations kicked off on Tuesday, with a section of youth and activists attempting to march to Parliament in protest against "escalating" corruption at the institution and in the country.
Police spokesperson, Rusoke Kituuma, noted that out of the 104 arrested, 100 have already been taken to court for various nuisance and traffic regulation violations.
"Overall, 104 individuals have been arrested during this period, with 100 already taken to court. Among those arrested, 13 had prior criminal charges," he said.
The police spokesperson said that nine were arrested on Tuesday while the biggest number (75) was arrested on Wednesday.
He added that Thursday saw three arrested while 16 got detained the following day.
On Tuesday, a section of concerned Ugandans took to the streets to express their outrage over corruption, triggering arrests from security forces.
This week, President Museveni hailed the security forces for foiling the protests, saying the masterminders had planned to do very bad things to Uganda.
He added that the protesters were being funded by foreign agents with intentions of destabilizing the internal affairs of Uganda.
The President, on the other hand, has promised to address the corruption concerns in detail next week.
"Next week, I will make a broadcast and discuss more on the issue. I praise the Lord that there was no blood-shed on Tuesday. The fight against corruption, is in my hands. I just need evidence and action will be taken," Museveni said on Thursday.
