The Minister of State for ICT and National Guidance, Hon.Godfrey Baluku Kabbyanga, has reaffirmed the neutrality and constitutional mandate of Uganda’s security agencies, emphasizing that their work remains professional and non-partisan.
Speaking during Sanyuka Morning Xpress yesterday Kabbyanga addressed recent public debate surrounding the conduct of security personnel during political activities, particularly those involving opposition leaders during their ongoing presidential campaigns across the country, noting that the police play a critical role in ensuring the safety of all presidential candidates despite often being portrayed negatively in tense situations.
The Minister further cautioned against politicizing security operations, suggesting that critics would better appreciate the role of security services if protection were suddenly withdrawn.
The Minister called for constructive engagement among political actors and encouraged Ugandans to recognize the important role of security institutions in safeguarding democratic processes and national stability. END
