The same day, President Museveni told journalists that he ordered the blocking of social media: Steps must be taken for security to stop so many getting in trouble, it is temporary because some people use those pathways for telling lies, he said.
Siku hiyo hiyo, Rais Museveni aliwaambia waandishi wa habari kwamba aliamuru kufungwa kwa mitandao ya kijamii: Hatua lazima zichukuliwe kwa ajili ya usalama kuzuia watu wengi kujiingiza kwenye taabu, ni kwa muda mfupi kwa sababu watu wengine hutumia njia hizo kusema uongo, alisema.
