The Uganda Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has rejected claims by a local television station that its officers intercepted election materials near the country's border. The DCI described the report as false and misleading, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The report, published by KTN News, alleged that DCI officers had intercepted a vehicle near the Uganda border and seized election materials. The DCI denied these claims, stating they were based on inaccurate information. The agency emphasized that such allegations could undermine public trust in the electoral process.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions around election integrity in Uganda. While the DCI maintains its stance, the report has sparked discussions about transparency and accountability in electoral investigations. No further details have been provided on the alleged incident or the source of the claims.
