Adding,” Corruption is now an enemy of the country,”
The president further revealed that despite of the vice, Uganda has been progressively developing and currently it’s on a take off stage.
“Since 1986, Uganda has been developing but at a slow pace however in a firm foundation and now Uganda is at a take off stage and I attribute this to hardworking Ugandans,” he noted.
Early this week, Museveni launched the State House Anti-corruption Unit headed by Lt Col Edith Nakalema to fight corruption in the country.
