Ugandan police arrested several people in the capital Kampala on Thursday during a second day of anti-corruption protests, local media reported.
The proesters were demanding the resignation of the parliament speaker and began demonstrating this week against alleged graft by elected leaders.
The police quickly shut down a planned march to parliament on Tuesday. They arrested at least 73 young protesters, according to Chapter Four Uganda, an organisation providing legal services to those detained.
President Museveni, who over the weekend warned protesters against “playing with fire”, accused them on Thursday of receiving foreign funding.
“Those involved should know that Uganda is not a neo-colony,” he said. “The fight against corruption is in my hands. I just need evidence and action will be taken.”
