President Yeweri Kaguta Museveni has warned the military, especially those in high positions, not to be tempted to learn from corruption because corruption is the cause of Uganda’s decline.
Museveni said corruption has started learning from the security agencies which prevents them from disrupting services in the security agencies as it is in other government agencies where corruption is rampant and they are fighting against the disease.
President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was speaking at the graduation ceremony of the Army graduates at the National Defense College Njeru in Buikwe.
