Facebook has reportedly shut down over 50 accounts managed by persons affiliated to Uganda’s ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, days before the East African goes to the polls. “Facebook itself deleted our accounts on the request of Bobi Wine’s handlers,” Kato tweeted. Kato also urged Museveni to retaliate and shut down Facebook. “We request President Kaguta Museveni to shut down the entire Facebook in Uganda,” Kato said. The move also comes days after Facebook also temporarily suspended the account of US outgoing President Donald Trump.
