Those very bad things will come out in court when those arrested are being tried. It is possible, that some of the participants, did not know of the planned foreign funding and the planned bad things. That is why, they should have listened to the police advice, not to go on with the demonstration. But they rubbished the police advice,\u201d President Museveni  stated<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cIndeed, in the year 2019, Nakalema organized us and we marched from the city Square through Kampala Road to Jinja Road and went to Kololo. So many people were there- Bishops, Soldiers, Wanainchi, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought that Nakalema had timed a Sunday because there was neither traffic, nor pedestrians on the road. Nakalema has now told me, that it was a Wednesday, the 4th of December, 2019, but that they had organized with the police to block traffic for some hours. That part of Kampala is, besides, lightly populated except during the day-light hours. Nakalema can co-ordinate with the genuine anti-corruption fighters for a similar effort, especially on a Sunday. It was not correct for Nakalema to use a working day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn particular, the heavily populated suburbs of our cities \u2013 Kawempe, Bwaise, etc. should never be used for demonstration, because they will damage the little wealth creation that our people are painstakingly building up. Kololo ceremonial grounds, is being repaired now. When the work is finished, Nakalema should organize us. I will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also advised that those&nbsp;being funded by foreigners, should stop and report to the Minister of State for Ethics, those that have been funding them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe shall not arrest them. In any case, we know a lot about the goings on in those groups. Our interest is to immunize Uganda against the schemes of the imperialists and their agents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe&nbsp;planners of Tuesday\u2019s demonstration, however, were not bothered with such issues.I politely advised them a few days ago, in my address to the Nation. They, obviously, thought that my advice was of no consequence. Please, Ugandans avoid these mistake makers. The evidence in court will shock many. As I said, above, the planners of these demonstrations wanted to do very bad things. The charge by the Police of \u201cidle and disorderly\u201d, I suspect, was used because the deployed personnel did not have all the information. This was a high-quality, intelligence-led operation. I have most of the information.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI praise the Lord that there was no blood-shed on Tuesday. The fight against corruption, is in my hands. I just need evidence and action will be taken,\u201d&nbsp; the President asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe accounting officers are the guardians of Gov\u2019t money, procurement and personnel (jobs, welfare).\u00a0They let us and themselves down. I am now leading this little war. We fought the bigger war. We shall win this one also.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Editor:msserwangagmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has castigated foreign saboteurs who continue to sponsor violent protest in Uganda and other African countries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screenshot_20231231_234145_Gmail-750x375-1.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11879,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/president-museveni-commissions-new-supreme-and-court-of-appeal-twin-tower-buildings-hands-over-kayoola-eletric-coach-to-the-judiciary\/","url_meta":{"origin":12488,"position":0},"title":"President Museveni Commissions New Supreme and Court of Appeal Twin Tower Buildings, Hands Over Kayoola Eletric Coach To The Judiciary","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"April 19, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has commissioned two Appellate Court twin-tower buildings that will accommodate the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal .
