Moses Waburoko councilor representing Tsekululu Sub County is currently wanted by police over allegations of assault.
According to John Kitutu, Waburoko called him while he was at his home located at Bunabitu village, Bunabitu parish Tsekululu Sub County in Namisindwa district on Thursday, 6th June, 2024 and start beating him.
Kitutu is coordinator of Sarah Khanakwa, one of the candidates planning to contest for Namisindwa Woman Member of Parliament seat in 2026 general elections.
Kitutu accuses Waburoko of beating him because of his support for Khanakwa.
He adds that after being beaten, he rushed to the nearby police of Tsekululu police station and reported the case VIDE SD11/06/06/2024{ASSAULT}.
Kitutu says that he got serious injuries on the whole body since Waburoko kicked him, twisted his neck and boxed him.
However, when contacted, Waburoko denied allegations of beating Kitutu over supporting Khanakwa.
He says that Kitutu has been meddling in his family affairs with the aim of trying to break it.
He adds that as a neighbor he called him with the aim of warning him to stop meddling in his family affairs but he instead beat him prompting him to respond in retaliation.
Khanakwa told our reporter during a phone interview that she told Kitutu to report the matter to police for investigation.
She says that based on the statements of the two, it is difficult to get a good conclusion urging police to do its work.
When contacted for a comment, Rogers Taitika, the Elgon region police spokesperson said he has not yet been briefed by Namisindwa district CID.
