President Yoweri Museveni has advised Speaker Rebecca Kadaga to wait for the outcome of ongoing investigations before demanding the arrest of security operatives who allegedly tortured Members of Parliament, journalists and other Ugandans in Arua on August 13.
Mr Museveni who wrote to the Speaker in response to her letter to him of 27th August, advised her and Parliament to refrain from using the word torture while referring to the MPs and others who were arrested ahead of the Arua.
The president says security forces used reasonable force and acted in self defence while delaing with Opposition leaders while resisting arrest.
