"We have not been able to arrest any suspect and we don't know the reason for dropping the piglets but we are investigating the matter," Owoyesigyire told URN.
This isn't the first time piglets are being used in Uganda by aggrieved individuals to express dissatisfaction. Piglets have been dropped in the past in the center and parliament by activists to express their dissatisfaction on key issues.
During one of the incidents, poor youth activists dropped piglets at parliament to protest a decision by members of parliament to increase their pay.
The piglets that were painted yellow had tags with names of several legislators. Some suspects were picked up and arraigned in court and their trial is still ongoing.
