Arrest warrant issued for Ugandan ambassador who assaulted police officer

A Ugandan court has issued arrest warrants for Uganda’s ambassador to Burundi and his bodyguards on charges they assaulted a police officer and obstructed another officer on duty earlier this year during a traffic incident.

Traffic police officer Esther, Namaganda, was assaulted by the men on a highway leading to the capital Kampala in February when she stopped them after they did an illegal U-turn on the road. Lawyers for the accused tried to explain why the men had failed to appear before the court saying that as members of the military they were also to be disciplined by the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces and that it was impossible for them to appear before two courts simultaneously.
