Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned against an anti-corruption march planned by young Ugandans for Tuesday, cautioning they would be “playing with fire” if they proceed.
The march, inspired by similar protests in Kenya, aims to demand an end to government corruption. Museveni, in power since 1986, accused some organizers of working with foreigners to incite chaos. Police have denied permission for the protest, but leader Louez Aloikin Opolose insists it will go ahead, citing constitutional rights.
The UK and US recently sanctioned Uganda’s parliamentary speaker Anita Annet Among and two former ministers, Mary Goretti Kitutu and Agnes Nandutu, over corruption allegations. All three deny the charges.
