The letter is copied to the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Adjumani district, the NRM chairperson, the district chairperson and the District Education Officer (DEO).
Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate has mocked NRM for this letter saying despite the biggest numbers of the attendants of the NRM’s presidential previous rallies being of children, they have been denying but the evidence has now been secured.
“Dictator Museveni and his criminal enterprise continue to get exposed. Left with nothing to offer and unable to attract the population to listen to his lies after 40 years, there are now orders from Chief Administrative Officers for primary school pupils and secondary school children to attend his rallies! No wonder if you look closely at every event they have held, half of the people you’ll see are children, sometimes putting on school uniforms! Let’s do what we have to do and redeem our nation from this mess!
#FreeUgandaNow,” reads Kyagulanyi’s comment which he pinned on his X handle.
