I commend the Commissioner General of URA and the Head of the Anti- Corruption Unit Lt. Col. Edith Nakalema for their part in organizing the training of the officers. The important factors are ideology, discipline and physical fitness. It is dangerous to promote negative ideology. If you promote a non-sectarian ideology you get unity.”
