Earlier, social media went buzzing as Ugandan internet users expressed concern over a photo and video showing retired Maj Gen Matayo Kyaligonza and his guards manhandling a female traffic police officer.
It is reported that a scuffle ensued after the female traffic officer allegedly tried to stop the vehicle in which Kyaligonza was travelling for allegedly breaking traffic rules.
