"You supported us in the Bush Struggle and have continued even after we captured power. Good enough, the NRM has not let you down. We have ensured Uganda is peaceful. Anyone thinking of destabilising this peace is safer committing suicide because it cannot happen," Museveni said.

President Museveni assured Ugandans of security despite the many killings that have been reported by the media. He said the move was underway to install cameras to ensure that the murderers are identified so that they are brought to book.

"What we have experienced lately is urban crime but we are fighting it. The Government will soon install cameras in major towns and highways to ease the work of the Police, especially in evidence gathering," Museveni said.
