\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u2018\u2019Thank you for fighting corruption with us, I can\u2019t take your efforts for granted, remember corruption is the best enemy of development and a friend to poverty. And it is because of this that we need to work hand in hand and have it chased out of our country if we are to prosper,\u2019\u2019 Museveni said.<\/span><\/p>\n
