President Museveni has for the umpteenth time warned that the government will not tolerate any forms of violence during the forthcoming 2021 elections.
Addressing the country last evening, the President noted that it is incumbent on every citizen to observe peace during the polls, noting that security organs will be on alert to deal with whoever wants to disrupt the elections.
Dressed in an army jacket, the President reminded the public of the manner security responded to the November 18 riots that sporadically broke out after the arrest of National Unity Platform presidential candidate, Robert Kyagulanyi.
The President on the other side urged members of the public to go in large numbers to exercise their civic duty of voting their favorite candidate without any fear.
He noted that security agencies are ready to protect them.
President Museveni also commented on acts of cheating that he said should not be tolerated by security and Electoral Commission officials.
He insisted that cheating is treasonable since the leaders people choose are not the ones that go through.
Museveni’s warning comes on the backdrop of the growing concern from the public that there will be violence during the forthcoming polls.
