{UAH} STATEMENT ON FRANK TUMWEBAZE'S 'FIRING'

PRESS RELEASE

MALICIOUS AND FALSE HATE CONTENT BEING CIRCULATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA ON
AFFAIRS IN THE PRESIDENCY

Our attention in the Presidency has been drawn to widespread false
social media reports about Hon. Frank Tumwebaze who is currently on
his annual leave in his constituency in Kamwenge District.

We would like to affirm that the RT. Hon. Prime Minister cleared Hon.
Tumwebaze's leave on 19th December, 2014 and it was to start on 3rd
January 2015 until 2nd February, 2015.
It is always normal that when a Minister is out of office either for
the purpose of taking his/her leave or for executing any other duty
out of station, another Colleague steps in and holds the Portfolio.
That is how I am currently holding the Portfolio for the Minister in
the charge of the Presidency and Kampala Capital City. Hon. Frank
Tumwebaze will resume his routine docket work when his leave period
ends on 2nd February, 2015.

Members of the public, staff, and all clients of the Presidency are
therefore encouraged to ignore reports that Hon. Frank Tumwebaze is on
forced leave and is being investigated by the Security Ministry over
any case. These allegations are totally untrue and should be treated
with the contempt they deserve.

We would like to warn hate groups abusing the unregulated social media
platforms who churn out extreme hate content against the person of the
President, his family and people working closely with him.
The Government has guaranteed freedoms of speech to the citizenry and
invested heavily in the entire enabling physical and technological
infrastructure like Internet connectivity and its associated
communication platforms so as to ensure their accessibility to all.
The increasing trend of misuse and outright abuse of these platforms
is of serious concern to Government. Whoever misuses them should be
warned that the long arm of the law will catch up with them.

Wilson Muruli Mukasa (MP)
MINISTER FOR SECURITY AND ALSO HOLDING THE PORTFOLIO FOR THE
MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THE PRESIDENCY AND KAMPALA CAPITAL CITY
