President Yoweri Museveni has directed the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) to deal with any political intimidators.
Museveni, who chaired UPDF High Command and Defence Council at Entebbe State House, said UPDF has a role to play in protecting Uganda’s democracy by ensuring that any acts of political harassment and intimidation are stopped.
According to UPDF’s Public Information Office headed by Col Chris Magezi, Museveni said UPDF should not only focus on providing peace in other countries such as DR Congo, South Sudan and Somalia but also keep a keen eye on anything that threatens the country’s democracy.
Museveni chaired the UPDF High Command and the Defence Council to assess the country’s security situation and regional stability.
Museveni’s directive to UPDF comes at a time when there are abductions of several NUP supporters who including Eddie Mutwe.
Gen Muhoozi has repeatedly used his X handle to warn NUP that they will face his wrath. END.
