Ugandan presidential candidate Mugisha Muntu from the Alliance for National Transformation warned that the country is heading toward a massive blowup if authorities keep ignoring poverty and using security forces for political games. The retired major general said during a debate that military and police units get dragged into shady operations because higher-ups issue orders designed to protect the ruling class instead of serving citizens. He pointed out that qualified officers exist, but the system rewards corrupt behavior and punishes professionalism.

Muntu connected rising crime to economic desperation and said throwing more cops at the problem won't work when people are literally sleeping next to their livestock because they're afraid someone will steal their animals. He trashed the National Resistance Movement's claims about restoring stability and argued that crushing dissent through force just builds up rage that eventually explodes. His party plans to prioritize constitutional rule and separate security agencies from political interference if they win the election.
