President Yoweri Museveni has warned newspapers against publishing false information

President Yoweri Museveni has warned newspapers against publishing false information aimed at causing confusion.

“I want really to warn some of these newspapers that we are here to build our country. As Christians, we work for peace not for discord. They should not make it a business to spread discord,” said the President.

President Museveni made the remarks this afternoon at Hotel Africana in Kampala, where he was a guest of honour at a conference organised by the Wekembe Group.

The President’s warning to the media followed remarks by Kampala Archdiocese Archbishop, Cyprian Lwanga, that some newspapers were publishing unresearched information.

Wekembe Group was founded by Archbishop Cyprian Lwanga in 1995 to help Christians eradicate poverty from their homes.

The initiative has so far supported 12,800 beneficiaries organised in 526 community based associations in eight districts of Butambala, Kampala, Luweero, Mpigi, Mukono, Nakaseke, Buikwe and Wakiso.
