{UAH} PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uganda has learnt of falsehoods circulating on social media platforms, particularly Facebook and WhatsApp, attributed to Hon. Sam K. Kutesa, Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The messages allege, among other things, that the Minister's right to communicate using public media outlets has been curtailed, and calls on the international community not to recognise President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.

The Ministry wishes to inform the general public and Members of the international community that Hon. Sam K. Kutesa is neither the source, nor the author of these messages and the Facebook account purportedly in his name is a poor attempt at impersonation.

These messages are malicious and intended to cause alarm and discredit the person of the Honorable Minister, His Excellency the President, and the recently concluded elections in Uganda.

The Ministry calls on the general public and the international community to treat these falsehoods with the contempt they deserve.
