They reported that there are only 300 prosecutors countrywide.
In his speech, President Museveni thanked the team for their service despite the challenges they face.
“Please, be thorough in your work and remain patriotic and avoid corruption. The mistake with people in previous Governments is that they were not patriotic and did not care about the people,” President Museveni said.
