Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Security Minister Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi has said Uganda has the capacity to handle threats posed by the Allied democratic force (ADF) rebels.<\/p>\n

The ADF allegedly killed about 40 innocent Ugandans, mainly students, in Kesese district on June 17.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019UPDF has the capacity to protect the people here and to fight them [ADF] in DR Congo but as you know they can\u2019t stay in Uganda because they are not safe and security is tight that\u2019s why they go to Congo from where they come in night hours to disrupt the peace of armless Ugandans,\u2018\u2019 Minister Muhwezi said on June 24.<\/p>\n

The minister was speaking as the guest of honor at the commissioning of a four classroom block in the nursery section at Nyamifura Primary School in Nyakagyeme sub- county Rukungiri district.<\/p>\n

The four classroom block was constructed by Rotary Club of Kololo in Kampala with support from old school students among other well-wishers.<\/p>\n

Maj Gen Muhwezi said Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces (UPDF) and other Ugandan security agencies are ready and prepared to deal with the ADF rebels.<\/p>\n

He added that the intention of ADF rebels is to disrupt the attention of the UPDF to protect schools in Uganda.<\/p>\n

Minister muhwezi said, \u2018\u2019As security we are sensitizing the local people in the area to make sure they are very watchful and detect anybody who comes from outside [their community],\u201d<\/p>\n

On the commissioned classroom block, Minister Muhwezi hailed Rotary Club of Kololo for their heart of giving.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Rotarians for your good heart. I started supporting this school in 1997 up to date. You [the shcool] must protect this building such that it can even serve the coming generation\u2019\u2019 Maj Gen Muhwezi added.<\/p>\n

Kololo Rotary Club president Mr Moses Mabaale Turyatemba, told the school management to,<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Own this project and ensure that it is properly utilized. Let them [the community] bring more pupils to study in it because we shouldn\u2019t build a beautiful structure and the community fails to bring pupils to study in it,\u2019\u2019 Mr Turyatemba said.<\/p>\n

The school head teacher Ms Lovernce Bairiho hailed Rotarians for supporting the school.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019The new classroom block will accommodate the nursery section and primary one pupils,\u2019\u2019 Ms Bairiho said.<\/p>\n

Mr John Kacebezi, the school\u2019s chairperson Parents, teachers association promised proper utilization of the commissioned classroom block.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour fears are now cured because I want to tell you the truth that we shall protect this building because it is ours therefore go while knowing that it will be used in a rightful manner,\u2018\u2019 Mr Kacebezi said.<\/p>\n

Other Rotary projects in the district<\/b><\/p>\n

About 5 years ago, Kololo rotary club built a community health center IV and a community hall at Nyakanengo Church of Uganda in Nyakagyeme sub- county Rukungiri district.<\/p>\n

The club also donated an ambulance vehicle to North Kigezi health IV in Eastern Division, Rukungiri municipality, Rukungiri district.<\/p>\n

The club is also building a community hall at Masaya health center III in the Nyakagyeme Sub- County.<\/p>\n
