In his part the president, agreed with the pastor on witchcraft and said the practice made people who worked for him fail to carryout their responsibilities.
Museveni said he was forced to take action against people who practiced the vice in order create sanity in his government.
“Kayanja has annalysed it very well….he says that the belief in witchcraft the bad thing with them is that the person relinquishes their responsibilities,
“Whenever something goes wrong they attribute it to someone bewitching them. That is very true. I have heard him talk about that. I had to control it because I could see it was very dangerous,” Museveni said.
