US SENATOR Jim Risch demands a review of Washington's security ties with Uganda after Military Chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba closes three media outlets.
In a tweet, Senator Risch wrote, "The US needs to review its security relationship with Uganda. Gen. Muhoozi's attacks on free speech, including shuttering major media houses this weekend, make him and the UPDF unfit partners. We should only work with those who advance regional security, not diminish it."
