Fron New Vision-
President Yoweri Museveni has said nobody should interfere with the legitimate interests of the people of Uganda.
These interests, he said, are peace, security, health, education, employment, freedom of worship and regional integration for bigger markets.
“Whatever we do is deliberate because we have dedicated our lives to the cause of Uganda and Africa. Anybody trying to divert us from this is doing us a disservice. Nobody should interfere with Uganda.”
He was speaking on Saturday at the closure of a three-day conference on reconciliation and peace, organised by the Uganda Episcopal Conference, in Hotel Africana, Kampala.
The conference brought together religious, cultural and political leaders as well as representatives of the business community.
The warning came just two days after Museveni revealed that Mengo elements had received “foreign funds” to fight the NRM and undermine the Constitution.
“We are following these reports and we shall defeat the elements involved,” he said in a recorded statement on Thursday. “The NRM fought many battles; we shall win this one also.”
Quoting from the Bible, the President on Saturday called on the clergy to join the Government in the protection of oppressed minorities.
He said justice for all would only be achieved by satisfying the legitimate interests of the people. “If anybody is pushing for illegitimate interests, you succumb and become a slave. This will be peace based on total submission of the oppressed to the oppressor.”
