Enanga now says security will verify all stickers at checkpoints and demand identification from travelers.
“Only those with movement stickers and staff IDs will be cleared. Our officers have been briefed on what to do to verify the stickers and those who come with forged ones will be arrested.”
Enanga has meanwhile warned security officers against violating these orders by piling relatives and friends in their cars.
“For some of them who abuse authority by misusing private motor vehicles to move anyhow will be dealt with” he states
President Museveni last week said emergency vehicles, police and army vehicles will be allowed to move during the lockdown but the police spokesperson warned security officers against violating this directive.
