“If, therefore, you altered the results, we are coming for you” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (20.07.2025)
Today, the President, His Excellency and Commander-in-Chief, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni finally addressed the nation in the regards to the National Resistance Movement Primary Elections. The words he wrote is powerful, because this party and organization is made in his image. What goes on and is allowed within its ranks are his creation. They are all part of the party and he has ordered it this way. It is his regime and authorities which participate in the Primary Elections too. Therefore, the words are really meaningful, when you know his role and the sort of directives he gives from within.
“However, I must condemn, in the strongest terms, what I started hearing in some areas where some unpatriotic actors are alleged to have committed the following mistakes:
1. Altering results;
2. Tampering with the registers;
3. Using violence, including causing some deaths, apart from the injuries caused;
4. And the use of money and materials to bribe voters.
These are politically and ideologically wrong end must be condemned by all the lovers of the NRM and Uganda. All of our members need to know that the leaders we elect are in order to download Government programmes to kukyenuura (solve the solvable problems) of the Wannnachi. Omukyeno, is a problem that could be solved if necessary actions were taken” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 20.07.2025).
It isn’t the first time that the President is speaking of wrong-doings and of ill advised activities within his own ranks. Heck, he has done this plenty of times before and promised to wipe it out or eradicate it, but never does. So, the words are hallow from a man who has ruled supreme for close to 40 years. These words are pointless and means little, when we know he won’t put any action into it or risk any consequences of the retribution. These are his allies, fellow culprits and people he knows from decades being in office. It isn’t random subjects or citizens hit by a stray-bullet, but people he has appointed, people he has anointed and been working in cahoots with. Therefore, we know these words are just for headlines and moving on to the next scandal.
“Why, then, do you tolerate and be used by the unpatriotic elements that pollute our beautiful process of democracy with violence, bribery, cheating, etc? It is so annoying. However, the good thing is that the mistakes they are committing are also crimes by law of the State of Uganda which renders them prosecutable” (Museveni, 20.07.2025).
Time will tell if the law-book will be hit against the ones who did break the law. The clock is ticking, but a very chosen few might be taken trial and be prosecuted. Nevertheless, don’t expect the big-men, the men with influence and closely associated with the inner-circle. Those people will not be captured or face the law. No, these will continue to use force, intimidate and be allowed to rule with impunity. That’s the sort of nation that the President has created and the image of militarised political landscape, which has proven a “winning” formula for the old man.
The ones believing his words. Well, you shouldn’t and you shouldn’t expect much. There isn’t much to it, but it is refreshing that the President address the ills of his party, but don’t expect him to solve these problems. Because those problems are the reason why his able to stay in power. Peace.
