President Yoweri Museveni has strongly condemned acts of extortion reportedly carried out by individuals operating within or around his office. In a firm statement, the President emphasized that corruption and abuse of authority will not be tolerated, warning that such actions tarnish the integrity of public service and betray the trust of Ugandans.
Authorities have confirmed that arrests have been made in connection with the alleged extortion schemes. Investigations are ongoing to identify all individuals involved, with the President urging law enforcement agencies to ensure the culprits face the full force of the law. He also called upon the public to report any similar incidents, promising that whistleblowers will be protected.
President Museveni reiterated his commitment to fighting corruption at all levels of government, stressing that his administration will continue implementing strict measures to promote transparency and accountability. He further urged government officials to uphold the highest ethical standards in serving the nation.
This latest development comes as part of broader anti-corruption efforts in Uganda, which have seen several high-profile investigations and arrests in recent years. The President has vowed that the fight against graft will remain a top priority in safeguarding the country’s development goals.
