The Chief of Defence Forces and also chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has cautioned their young supporters against participating in demonstrations.

He sounded the caution in an X post on Saturday.

Muhoozi, said the PLU is committed to fighting corruption, and suggested that demonstrations are not one of those avenues.

"None of our young people, those who believe and support PLU are allowed to participate in any demonstrations. We know how to fight corruption and we shall do it effectively." Gen Muhoozi said.

Last month, young people took to the streets to protest against corruption in the country especially at the Parliament.

The demonstrations, however, were critisised by Some Ugandans, including President Museveni.

In his X post, Museveni hailed security for foiling the anti-corruption protests saying some of the people behind them had been sponsored by foreign elements to destablise Uganda.

"I want to congratulate the Armed Forces and the Security Forces and the Wanainchi, for foiling or not participating in the bad demonstration that was planned for Tuesday," he said.

"That demonstration, had two bad elements. Element no.1, was funding from foreign sources that are always meddling in the internal affairs of Africa for the last 600 years -- slave trade, colonialism, neo-colonialism, genocide, economic exploitation, etc.."

The President emphasised his ongoing commitment to the fight against corruption and advised the youth to shun such protests.

"The fight against corruption, is in my hands. I just need evidence and action will be taken," Museveni said.
