The remarks come days after President Museveni directed police to clamp down on speculators allegedly perpetrating harmful propaganda that fallen speaker of parliament, Jacob Oulanyah did not die of natural causes.

Oulanyah, 57, died on Sunday, March 20th, in a hospital in Seattle, US where he was flown for treatment.
