Over 4,000 delegates, including UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and heads of state and government, will be attending the 19th Non-Aligned Movement summit.

The summit runs for nine days.

All private security firms have been notified that due to the summit, the movement of private security guards with firearms will not be allowed until end of the month.

Police director in charge of operations John Nuwagira told the private security firms to treat the directive with “the urgency and strictness demanded of you by the situation”.

Security has been heightened at airports, meeting venues and hotels in Kampala.

Ugandan police spokesperson Fred Enanga said that counter-terrorism measures have also been enhanced.
