Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the principal of National Unity Platform (NUP) has informed the country about the circumstances under which he was prematurely discharged from St. Francis Nsambya Hospital where he was admitted on Tuesday after he was allegedly shot at by the Uganda Police.
In a statement he issued on his social media platforms, Kyagulanyi is dismayed by the fact that the police detectives upon learning about his admission at Nsambya Hospital, they followed him up harassing the medical officers who had attended to him, demanding for his personal medical records.
He said that after going through a minor surgery to remove the teargas canister fragment that were in his leg, he decided to seek for a better safe place for his life and that was none other than his home.

Kyagulanyi however says that decision came not because he was fit to go back home but police also tried to access the private room where he had been admitted but they were failed by his people who were so vigilant.
Kyagulanyi’s full statement reads as follows;
Dear friends,
As you may already be aware by now, following yesterday’s brutal attack by the Police, I was admitted to Nsambya Hospital for treatment.
Once the regime learned of my admission, security operatives came to the hospital and harassed the doctors treating me, demanding for details of my medical records.

They also made several attempts to forcefully access my treatment room but were held off by our vigilant comrades. As if that wasn’t enough, they also blocked all roads leading to the hospital, thereby disrupting hospital traffic flow and endangering more lives.
Consequently, after undergoing minor surgery to remove all foreign bodies that had remained in my leg, I decided to return home prematurely today for the sake of my safety, and out of consideration for other patients at Nsambya Hospital who do not deserve the inconvenience and intimidation.
I will get the rest of my treatment from home.
Many thanks to all of you who continue to send kind messages of support and consolation. We will soon speak out.
