Grenade attacks have taken place at the homes of two Ugandan opposition MPs, including singer-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, said he was targeted for opposing the ruling party’s plan to scrap the presidential age limit.<\/p>\n

Mr Kyagulanyi and MP Allan Ssewanyana said their homes shook and windows were shattered by the explosions.<\/p>\n

A government spokesman denied the government was behind the blasts.<\/p>\n

“Flash grenades at opposition MPs’ homes could be own scare tactics to frame government,” Ofwono Opondo was quoted by the state-allied New Vision newspaper<\/a>. “There is no record or history of this NRM government killing political opposition,” he added.<\/p>\n
