The Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura has warned against spreading tribe hate speech saying such a type of loose talk could lead the country to genocide.

He says many people especially in Kampala rotate their debates and discussions around tribes, praising theirs and denouncing others.

The people from Central, Eastern and Northern Uganda always refer to people from western Uganda as those with long noses.

In Buganda, Teso, Acholi and other areas when people are quarrelling with others from different tribes they tell them that they need to be chased away from Uganda.

Kayihura says he wonders whether some people know the effects of hate speech. He says hate talk has caused death in Rwanda, Kenya, and Sudan among others.
