President Museveni has laughed at reports that Rwanda is spying on Uganda, saying they are only wasting their time since it will not yield anything much for them.
A recent global reporting investigation, the Pegasus Project, published by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) indicated that Rwanda used Israel software, Pegasus to spy on several top ranking Ugandan government officials.
In the report it was said that the Kigali establishment spied on former Prime Minister Ruhakana Rugunda and former Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa.
However when asked about the same, President Museveni said where he didn’t closely follow the reports, he was sure Rwanda wasted their time spying on Ugandan officials since nothing they could get.
Museveni blamed the Rwandan leader Paul Kagame for shutting the border between the two countries two years ago and denied claims by Kagame that he was acting like the master of the region.
Museveni however said he could not talk about the reason for the souring relations between the two neighbouring countries, saying it would be unfair since the other side is not around to defend themselves.
