National Resistance Movement (NRM)Presidential candidate Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has said that the guidelines put in place by the Ministry of Health to curb the spread of coronavirus should be respected by everyone regardless of their status.
Speaking in Kotido town to NRM leaders, Museveni said it is appalling that some people move to various parts engaging the masses which is very dangerous.
“We are here in this, campaigning indirectly where we aren’t holding rallies for the sake of protecting our people from more infections. We have lost several people already including two Members of Parliament and some scientists,” he said.
“It is therefore criminal for anybody to ignore this and we are not going to tolerate it. Everybody must respect the rules of the Ministry of Health,” President Museveni added.
The President who is holding scientific campaign meetings with only a few people told NRM leaders that the idea behind the guidelines by the Ministry of Health is to ensure the virus is not spread to members of the public during campaign rallies.
“The future of Uganda is very bright and that’s why we shall not tolerate confused people. They are playing with fire. People who have nothing to do for the country move from Kampala to Arua, Kitgum using our nice tarmacked roads to disturb us. Do you know how much sacrifice we made to achieve this,” a furious Museveni said on Thursday.
