Opposition warned against parallel swearing in ceremony

Government has warned the opposition against going ahead with their intended planned parallel swearing in ceremony of another person as president contrary to the law.

Addressing journalists at Uganda media Center, security minister Amama Mbabazi who is also NRM secretary general says security is only aware of one swearing in for president Museveni which will be in Kololo on Thursday.

He says the state of Uganda is only governed by one president and therefore no other person will be sworn in as president of Uganda, but however says those whom he termed as presidents of news papers and civil society are free to swear in.

Mbabazi assured people who will attend the ceremony that their security is guaranteed and warned those planning to cause lawlessness that the law enforcement bodies will do their job against them.

Asked whether government will allow Besigye who returns tomorrow to walk from Entebbe to his home, Mbabazi says the FDC leader is free to walk as long as he does it in accordance with the law.

President Yoweri Museveni also reiterated at a press conference in Rwakitura, that the opposition cannot and should not organize anything to disrupt the swearing of an elected President.
