Museveni orders arrest of corrupt officers

    NAIROBI

    President Yoweri Museveni has ordered the arrest of Ugandan officers involved in illegal business activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the ‘New Vision’. The newspaper, citing a military source, reported today that Museveni had directed that the officers be returned to Uganda and their merchandise seized. Opposition politicians have alleged that some army officers are involved in gold and timber trading in the DRC. Meanwhile, Museveni returned yesterday from a three-day visit to Tripoli where he discussed the Congo conflict with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, news reports said.
