President Museveni told security forces to avoid beating or torturing people during elections. He called such force unnecessary, though he also warned that disrupting national peace would bring legal consequences. His remarks follow frequent opposition claims of abuse by police and military personnel against political supporters.
Speaking on other topics, Museveni criticized local leadership in the Greater Mubende area for poor safe water access in Kasanda. He credited government health programs for population growth in places like Mityana, where more children survive. He emphasized disciplined public spending on infrastructure projects like key roads.
On employment, Museveni stated that the government cannot be the primary job source, pointing to manufacturing and commercial agriculture as real employers. He defended free education policies, blaming dropout rates on unofficial school fees. The president also criticized opposition figures for ignoring the importance of regional economic markets, calling their inward focus dangerous.
