To the graduands, you are going out to a tempting world. Avoid sexual promiscuity (umalaya) which could cause you to lose your life. Avoid alcohol. Don't be corrupt because you might become an inmate instead of a warder. pic.twitter.com/iUuBH2TR6j

President Museveni also reminded the nation that, despite his Christianity backgrounds, he would reconsider the death punishment to Ugandans
On the death penalty, I have not been assenting to hanging of convicts because of my Christian background but being lenient is causing people to think they can cause harm and get away with it. I will revise my position. pic.twitter.com/PnnROtz8zk
