Some are still on police bond and others are facing trial. For others it will necessitate further steps which are already underway,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>I have issued a statement providing an update of the investigations into allegations of missing persons brought to @UHRC_UGANDA by @NUP_Ug pic.twitter.com\/xJvIEIJIfY<\/p>\n<p>Ms Wangadya, however, said NUP provided inadequate information about their supporters and this has delayed investigations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have been talking about thousands of their supporters who are missing. But the list they sent me has 25 names, so what happened to the thousands they sing about every day?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI asked for the national ID numbers of the victims. Out of the 25 names, only one had a corresponding name and the others did not. Should we assume the other 24 do not have national IDs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The commission chairperson added that some of the victim\u2019s phone numbers cannot be reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs much as they (NUP) criticise us, they have not given us time and they are very impatient. Don\u2019t expect that between December 29 and January 19, we should have completed the investigations,\u201d Ms Wangadya said.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the seven people, three were charged with murder and are still honouring their police bond requirement by reporting to the Special Investigations Department in Kireka.<\/p>\n<p>The rest were charged with malicious damage to property and were released on bail. They appeared in court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to speak to Mr Lewis Rubongoya, the general secretary to NUP, on the matter were futile since his known telephone contact was unavailable by press time yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>During Wednesday\u2019s press conference at NUP headquarters, Mr Rubongoya, promised to petition international bodies claiming that UHRC has not done enough to secure the release of their supporters.<\/p>\n<p>Nabbanja, Tayebwa, Mpuuga meet over missing NUP supporters<\/p>\n<p><b>Still missing <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 John Bosco Kibalama<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Michael Semuddu<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 John Damuilira<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Moses Mbabazi, aka Kawenja<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Vincent Nalumonso<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Martin Lukwago<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Muhammad Kanatta<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Yuda Sempijja<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Musisi Mbowa<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Peter Kirya<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Shafik Wangolo<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dennis Zimula<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Musitafa Luwemba<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Isma Ssesaazi<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Godfrey Kisembo<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 George Kasumba<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Joseph Baguma<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hassan Mubiru<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
