President Museveni has once more told police officers to stop corruption practices.
Mr Museveni was meeting senior police officers led by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Gen Paul Lokech, at State House Entebbe over the weekend.
“I have strongly warned them against involvement in corrupt practices. Corruption in the Police Force should stop,” Mr Museveni tweeted on Sunday.
This comes at a time when police have been named the most corrupt government institution in the findings of the Fourth National Integrity Survey report 2019/2020 that was released last month.
