PRESIDENT YOWERI MUSEVENI’S 2020 NEW YEAR MESSAGE: Vows to deal with crime, corrupt police force and land grabbers.

In his New Year’s address, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has vowed to deal with rising crime which he says is abetted by corruption and laxity of the Uganda Police. He also lashed out at Ugandans who disrespect the environment by encroaching on swamps, invading the natural high-rise forests or settling on Mountain –slopes steeper than 32o saying the act constituted self and national suicide. The President also reiterated the importance of commercial production and value addition instead of subsistence farming and trade in raw materials, saying an export-led growth holds the key to improved incomes and national economic growth. He also sabre-rattled about his war on corruption and protection of land rights of the legal and bonafide land owners.
