Minister of Security, Rtd. Maj Gen Jim Muwhezi has reaffirmed UPDF’s commitment to safeguarding the country from terror attacks, saying there is no reason to panic.
Gen. Muhwezi said that from a security point of view, the terrorism threats in the country are manageable and that security is taking measures.
He told the media this week that they cannot say that there is a lapse in security yet it has managed to keep this country secure for many years, and Uganda has and will continue being one of the safest places to stay.
The country has witnessed two bomb attacks within a space of three days, and security described the acts as “domestic acts of terrorism” that are sponsored by the ADF terror group.
He said that terrorism of domestic nature is real in Uganda and that the ADF is interested in promoting it, but assured the country that “security is on top of the situation to stop them.”
He calls for vigilance among the locals as Security comes up with new guidelines for public places, including, bus operators, restaurant operators, and others. END
