It's alleged that on September 25, 2017 along Kyaggwe Road within Kampala city, Abiriga committed the offence by easing himself on the fence of the Ministry of Finance.

This comes a few days after a picture showing the MP easing himself near the gate of Ministry of finance went viral.
Mr Abiriga was quoted in the media saying he was badly off and that’s why he got out of the car to ease himself in the open.
“I was badly off. Should I have kept urine on myself? What is the problem with that?” Abiriga said on Tuesday in a televised interview at the entrance of Parliament chambers.
