“Within Uganda, the security forces are guarding the pre-prepared public functions like the controversial Nyege Nyege, the Kyabazinga wedding, etc,” said Museveni in a statement to the media.
“I, therefore, advise the Wanainchi to be vigilant in the villages, the churches, the markets, public transport, etc. The infiltrators are few and with vigilance, they will be captured.”
The entertainment festival kicked off this Thursday at the Source of River Nile tourism site, agricultural showgrounds, and the Jinja Golf Course.
In Jinja, the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Geoffrey Katsigazi, assured the general public of maximum security despite terror alerts issued by the United States.
Katsigazi emphasised that Uganda has developed the internal capacity to prevent all forms of terrorism and is actively addressing the prevailing terror threats to ensure the safety of all individuals.
