"I am not feeling well. I am going through a lot, before the police arrested me i was sick. Whenever i move around, I am always with my nurse even my sitting is regulated," Nambooze said.

In an interview on NBS TV, the Mukono MP reiterated that her statements on social media and in public are not intended to offend anyone.

She says the government is enforcing the law selectively and people are using the death of the late NRM MP to persecute her.

Nambooze is among the four people whom police opened general inquiry files in a move aimed at investigating how they are connected to the murder of Abiriga.
