The President was speaking at a Wednesday rally at Rubuguri Primary School in Kirundo Sub-County Bufumbira North Constituency in South Western Region's Kisoro district.

"The people of Rubuguri will get a constituency. We shall, however, not break off Rubuguri from Kisoro to join Kabale district."

Museveni also revealed that although there was no rally initially planned in Rubuguri Parish, he could not skip the locality "The people of Kampala had skipped Rubuguri but I said I cannot skip my people," he said.

Speaking at Gisorora play grounds in Nyakabande Sub County in Bufumbira East Constituency Candidate Museveni cautioned them against sectarianism premised on tribalism and religious bigotry.

"The NRM track record is clear. We believe in unity. We do not believe in tribalism or religious sectarianism. We believe everyone is equal," he said.

He cited an example of business transactions where proprietors do not ask their customers their tribes or religions before serving them. "When I have a shop, I do not ask the customers for their religion or tribe before I sell to them.

"The customer helps me get money for my child's school fees. Kabale and Kisoro grow potatoes and sell them to people in Kampala and these are not necessarily your tribe-mates or belonging to the same religion," he said.

Candidate Museveni advised the people to chase away elements who want to divide others using tribes and religion saying: "Those who want tribalism or religious sectarianism are devils and should move out of our way.

"NRM believes in unity and through unity we have got strength and peace that have led to development," he declared.
