At least 10 people have either been arrested or arraigned in court and charged with annoying the person of the President in recent years.
Responding to a question from journalists on Thursday during a press conference at the Nakasero state Lodge, Museveni said the charge is archaic and was used by colonial masters against Ugandans.
“I don’t mind being annoyed. I have no problem with being annoyed. That was a colonial charge that I used to hear about,” Museveni said.
He added that the bigger challenge is in spewing lies, and that he would talk to the Police to see to it that they concentrate on the bigger issues.
“The bigger issue is telling lies, inciting and sedition. Those are the areas of substance that police should concentrate on,” said Museveni
