Hannington Tumwiine, a renowned poultry farmer in Bushenyi Ishaka Municipality who recently revealed his plan to stand for the Ishaka division chairmanship in the forthcoming elections, thanked President Museveni for his endless efforts towards fighting corruption.

Tumwiine said Ugandans are the ones promoting corruption as they like paying bribes in exchange of a wanted service.

Aron Arinaitwe Kanyangoga, the Councilor LCIII for Nyabubaare in Kizinda town council said the local people should join local leaders and fight corruption arguing that corruption starts from the Local Councils.

“If you don’t pay bribes to leaders, police, judges, will they remove them from your pockets?” Arinaitwe said.
