President Museveni has sent a strong message to corrupt civil servants he called "parasites" and "weevils" and once more threatened to deal with a racket of government officials who instead of promoting locally made products opt to buy the same goods manufactured abroad.
In a State House televised address on Hero's Day yesterday, Mr Museveni said the economy was doing well except with sectors such as tourism which have been affected by the coronavirus disease outbreak.
For example, Mr Museveni said a section of people have objected to an idea to have government documents printed within the country.
Mr Museveni said once the bureaucracies are solved, Ugandan scientists will 'get this (coronavirus) medicine before Europeans get it if we get rid of the parasites within us'.
Now it is like it is the work of the police to save you from dying... From tomorrow (today), they will start distributing the government masks even if you have your own, they will give you," Mr Museveni said.
