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

Mr Museveni also appreciated the approach adopted by the church through helping wananchi to create wealth, likening it to government's Operation Wealth Creation programme that seeks to support farmers to better their incomes.
The President said he would partner with the church and encourage OWC to learn from the former's approach where beneficiaries are only supported after intensive training.
