Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has excited a section of his 600,000-plus followers on social media, with a request to his soldiers to ‘stop umalaya’ (prostitution).
The former guerrilla leader made the remark via Twitter after officiating a military function in which there was a combined arms live fire exercise.
Congratulations to the crews and my advice to them is that they should avoid risky lifestyles – avoid umalaya, alcohol and corruption. Their future is bright. http://pic.twitter.com/5X2Xh8ZLWY

But there was good news as well, with President Museveni – who seems keen to extend his 30-year stay in power – promising to ‘look’ into the issue of pay rise for his military and other public servants.
Now that the economic situation in Uganda is improving, the government will be able to look into raising of salaries of soldiers, public servants, health workers and teachers and also deal with institutional housing. http://pic.twitter.com/hvFlDiJ35I

However, it is the ‘umalaya’ comment that elicited the most response.

Umalaya? Does it have the same meaning in UG as to the KE term

His remarks are however are not surprising to those who have followed Museveni’s utterances down the years.
The Ugandan president has on a number of occasions complained that the country has lost many members of the disciplined forces to sexually transmitted diseases.
