"We in the security system know them and at the right time, we are going to expose them," Museveni said.
The president, accompanied by the First Lady Janet Museveni was speaking during the 38th NRM victory anniversary celebrations at St. John SSS Wakitaka Playgrounds in Jinja Northern Division.
The commemoration, held under the theme "Building a Country We All Cherish," takes place annually on January 26th to mark the day when the NRA/M government assumed power after a prolonged struggle led by dedicated Ugandan citizens.
During the function, Moses Ssimbwa, a man who claimed to be an activist from the National Unity Platform said he was used by the opposition to make false torture accusations against government.
Ssimbwa claimed that he was deceived by the opposition, who initially promised to take him to a hospital in Nairobi for treatment of a leg injury sustained in an accident, but instead took him for a human rights conference.
He alleged that opposition forces coerced him into stating that the scars had been inflicted on him during torture by Ugandan security agencies.
"I was taken to Nairobi by politicians who told me to claim that I was tortured by the Ugandan government. I apologize for everything that happened. They used us because we were in need of money,"Ssimbwa said.
Speaking in response to the same, President Museveni said the opposition is trying to collaborate with Europeans to exert external pressure on Uganda, aiming to advance foreign interests but said they will not succeed in their plans.
"They have been doing that in other African countries and also some of the other third world nations, but they don’t know how strong the NRM is,” he noted.
"Those who miscalculate that Uganda is a typical neo-colonial African country that they can familiarise with should know, Uganda under NRM is a different cup of tea."
In his address, President Museveni called upon the people of Busoga to join him in the renewed fight against those undermining the Universal Primary Education (UPE) program.
He shared an anecdote from a recent encounter, where he met citizens who expressed concerns about children being unable to attend school due to fees.
He criticized headteachers and parent-teacher associations for disregarding the government's directive not to charge additional fees and promised to address the issue in the upcoming Financial Year.
Regarding the issue of missing drugs in government health facilities, President Museveni assured the people of Busoga that the government would take measures to address the problem.
He emphasized that peace would be maintained through the active involvement of the army.
Museveni highlighted the potential of commercial agriculture to generate employment opportunities for the youth. He encouraged the adoption of agricultural practices like the ones employed by Nyakana in Fort Portal, which could create numerous jobs.
The president envisioned a scenario where each family in the rural areas, estimated at around 7 million, could employ ten people, resulting in more than 70 million jobs.
He also pledged to prioritize the improvement of major roads in the subregion.
He expressed gratitude to the people of Busoga for their unwavering support throughout the struggle and commended Natasha Museveni Karugire for documenting the contributions made by individuals involved in the liberation movement.
