Bob Mutebi and the Petitioner on 12/3/2001, at Voting

It was submitted that during the polling day, at Rukungiri, the Petitioner was shadowed by Mr. Bob Mutebi of Media Plus, who deponed that the Petitioner appears to have expressed satisfaction with the election. First of all Mutebi does not disclose who assigned him the responsibility to cover the Petitioner during polling time. Secondly it appears that in the alleged interview, the Petitioner was referring to polling in the Polling Station where the Petitioner voted. That is nothing in the whole electoral exercise. This would not estop the petitioner from complaining. The petitioner was clearly conscious of the heavy presence, in the whole district of Rukungiri, of the army and the PPU and he was not sure about what the election result would be eventually. That is what I gather from the interview, to represent what the petitioner said. I attach no importance to that interview.
