He further told them everything good in Buganda like education, hospitals and markets with everything around the region can be sold for money. “As UPDF we are not interested in those who are enemies of peace. This peace belongs to you so it’s your duty to keep it as citizens of this country” he said.
Gen Elwelu gave them an example of those from neighboring countries running to Uganda, it’s not because they love Uganda so much but it’s because of the peace Uganda is enjoying. “It’s in Uganda where one abuses the head of state and he walks home peacefully without any threat” he said. He called upon the population to use the peace as mecca of Uganda to be more productive.
