The recent days the statements done by Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine of Wakiso District and Sub-County Kyadondo East. The recent Age Limit fracas and chaos is created by the state and to benefit Yoweri Kaguta Museveni long life commitment to himself. The Age Limit debate has not been fair and not planned fair either. That is what Bobi Wine has addressed. Him and other in opposition of Museveni.
Therefore, the statement and article of Museveni for me doesn’t matter. He could write the best article of the world. The piece he wrote on the 1st October 2017 could have been masterpiece, the enlightenment of the world and told the stories that mattered. But it didn’t, the disregard of Robert Kyagulanyi MP is evident. Bobi Wine is a minor in his eye and that is why Museveni had to come with a history lesson.
That Bobi Wine hit a nerve is evident, because it was like his attacks on the opposition of old. Where they don’t want to deliver and he service delivers. He sprints with numbers and said there was nothing in Uganda when he took power in 1986. Because they are selling soaps and used T-Shirts on the Market in Kalerwe, Kampala. Since that is so much better than back-then, before he took everything and everyone in his hand.
Its seems like he has lost the plot and the importance of the lifting the age limit in the Constitution. Seemingly he had to end is writing to him like this: “The Age Limit Debate is starting. I will give my views at the right time. What is not acceptable, however, is intimidation and violence. Those are fascist methods. Let everybody speak his mind freely and without threats. We shall confront and defeat anybody who intimidates or threatens our peace” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni – ‘President Responds to Hon. kyagulanyi`s statement (s)’ 01.10.2017).
It’s foolish of him to talk about intimidation and violence, when he sends the Police Officers to arrest, detain and even wants to recall Bobi Wine. All the levels of fear spread to the suspended MPs, even using people to throw grenades at the houses. They have stopped them and blocked his convoy, he even used boda-boda to get a Plenary Session, while the Police Officers was following him. Clearly, when speaking about fear and intimidation, that is what the state does to their dissidents.
So what he actually says is that Bobi Wine threatens peace and someone Museveni will confront for his actions and words. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) have tried to silence the opposition debates and consultation meetings, even the demonstrations and public speakings on the Age Limit. That is because the NRM want to control the agenda in the views that Museveni has.
That is why he used time to address him and in this manner. You know that the state has issues with civil disobedience and demonstrations. When the state itself sends IGP Kale Kayihura to the Stadium at Namboole for the Football Match of the Uganda Cranes to get rid of red-ribbons at the stadium. This while the Military Police are wearing their red-berets. Clearly, the state struggles with opposition to the Age Limit.
Museveni knows he struggles and trying to keep them all captive in his spell, but the blinds he kept over their eyes should evaporate, with all them lies told over three decades. Bobi Wine is just undressing his blatant aggression against him and his generation. That the older generation are trying to take them captive and by his security organization. This should no one accept, the public shouldn’t accept his life presidency project. Even if the President wants to force feed them with his presence. That is what he is trying to do.
That is why the President was such in a self-defense mode when addressing Bobi Wine, but it doesn’t save from the reality. Museveni wants to keep the citizens captive and be the hostage taker. Make the citizens hostage under his rule. Peace.
