"This trespass does not require assessment of boundaries, but rather determination of whether the accused were at Parliament premises with unauthorised iterns which amounts to a felcny," PAMTTA OROGOT, STATT PROSECUIOR Prosecutor Orogot reiterated that on June 17,2014, Mr Mayanja and Mr Tumuhimbise with intent to dem- orlstrate and interrupt Parliament proceedings, entered the national assembly premises with pigs.
In June 20i4, legislators were treated to a drama when youthful protesters beat Parliament security to stage an anti-corruption demon- stration and iu the process dumped two piglets painted yellow in the parking lot of the national assem- blv.

The youth were dressed in T-shirts detailing a list of corruption griev- ances and branded themselves as members of the "Jobless Brother- hood."
