In meeting between President Museveni and crime preventers, the president announced that the group will reserve army for UPDF.

“I now regard you as a reserve army for UPDF. My idea is to have a small army which is equipped but with a big reserve”, Museveni stated in his address at Lugogo Arena.

However, before saying so, President Museveni refuted rumours surrounding ‘who owns them’ he said; “Anybody who had an idea that this was a Kayihura project, please, get it out of your head. But Kayihura was an active cadre who executed that aspect and I congratulate him.”

The president further challenged that their only role is not only to prevent crime but should also be exemplary actors in poverty eradication in societies they come from.
