Police in Kikuube have arrested the Kyangwali Sub-County District Councilor Nestoli Twesige for attempting to box the State Minister for Works and Transport Fred Byamukama.
The alleged attacker was reportedly restrained by the Minister’s stand-by escorts who were tipped by the visibly boiling mood of the accused who was embittered by the remarks of the minister.

A source privy to the information reveals that the attacker was incited by the remarks of the minister who alleged that the Parish Development Model initiative will elevate the livelihoods of the people of Bunyoro subregion and Uganda at large.
The attack on Minister Byamukama comes barely days after a similar case was registered in Amuria in Eastern Uganda. It is alleged that the minister who is also the Amuria County MP, was attending prayers at the church on Sunday when Mr Michael Okurut, a resident of Wera attacked him. The attacker was restrained and taken to the police station where he will be charged. Moments after being slapped, Minister Ecweru claimed that the attacker was a mentally handicapped man who is well known in the community.
