Mityana Municipality Member of Parliament Hon. Francis Zaake was on Wednesday morning rushed to hospital after being involved in a physical altercation with fellow MP. Hon. Anthony Akol.
A viral clip on the internet shows Hon. Zaake being punched in the face and on his head after seemingly trying to displace Hon. Akol from his seat.
Hon. Akol, visibly irritated by Zaake’s taunting, stands up and rains punches on the Mityana Municipality MP before other MPs and security intervened.
Minutes later, Zaake was seen being wheeled out of the Parliament and into a waiting ambulance before being rushed to the hospital.
This is not the first time Hon. Francis Zaake has been physically harmed in the parliament. In 2017, Zaake was punched into his sickbed by General Katumba Wamala.
