Known for his articulate and well thought views on politics and current affairs, Democratic Party Chairman and former Gulu District Chairman Nobert Mao has criticised the way officers from the Uganda Police brutally arrested one of the student protesters on Monday.
The student, identified as Samuel Obed Gui is a final year student at the School of Education and a very reknown student activist at the institution of learning.
Gui was roughed up by a pack of gun weilding Policemen and dumped into a truck headed for the Wandegeya police station near Makerere.

“Did it have to come to this? It is shameful for armed personnel to attack unarmed student protestors as if they were foreign invaders!” Mr. Mao said in a tweet.
“That said,” he continued “government must brace (itself) for the social consequences of a nosediving economy.”
He ended the statement with a caution that was obviously directed at President Museveni and his NRM saying that the old and tired bush league cannot fix the broken (Ugandan) economy.
Chairman Mao himself has been arrested on several occasions while in protest of government policies and activities with the most recent being the age limit demonstrations that were carried out allover Uganda.
