For Friday, 29, Muhwezi took the participants through the current situation in the country with regard to security and intelligence for social economic transformation. He reminded RDCs that they are key stakeholders in the political stability of the country who needed to understand the history of the country, the present  and the future so as to make informed decisions while executing their mandate.

Unlike in the past where security was confined in the context of State preservation against foreign aggression, protection of territories and regimes in power, Muhwezi noted that the term has since been broadened to  to encompass other spheres such as human security.

He faulted the belief that national security is a preserve of the military, but all the national instruments of power, including RDCs. For any country to ensure National Security, it must invest in her military and intelligence capabilities to further her National interests.

Jim Muhwezi talking about National Security Situation and Intelligence during the Resident District Commissioners, Resident City Commissioners, Deputy Resident Commissioners and Deputy City Commissioners induction retreat at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) Kyankwanzi on 29th July 2022.

On the relationship between national security and development, Muhwezi said the two are inter-twined and development without security is unsustainable and the other way round. He further explained that security strife spurs stunted development as it leads to diversion of resources meant for development to finance wars.

To have and keep a stable society, Muhweezi indicates that it requires  professional security and intelligence organizations that base their support on the population and that such is why UPDF and other sister agencies have been successful.
