Security forces arrested a group of nude protestors near the Parliament building on Monday, causing significant disruption in the area. The protestors, who were demonstrating against corruption within Parliament, stunned onlookers by stripping off their clothes during the march, immediately drawing the attention of the public and security personnel.

The protest, reportedly planned in advance, involved participants holding placards with strong messages demanding greater accountability from government officials. Among their demands was a call for action from the Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) regarding the recent tragedy at the Kiteezi landfill, which has raised serious concerns about waste management and negligence.

As the protestors neared Parliament, security operatives quickly intervened, arresting the demonstrators and transporting them to an undisclosed location. Authorities have not yet released a statement on the protestors' fate or any potential charges they may face.

The unusual protest sparked intense debate on social media, with users expressing mixed opinions. Some praised the protestors' courage in demanding justice, while others criticized their method as inappropriate and counterproductive.

This incident has sparked conversations about the lengths to which citizens are willing to go to highlight corruption and demand accountability in Uganda’s political system. The protest reflects growing public frustration over alleged corruption and mismanagement within key government institutions, including Parliament and the KCCA.
