I am not amazed anymore, the expected reasoning for lifting the Age Limit for the President. So that the Presidential Candidate be older than 75 years old. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the Members of Parliament (MP) are fighting to keep President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for life. That Finance Minister Matia Kasaija says what he says, tells a lot about how little ethics and how little laws are made for the betterment of the citizens. Its rules made for one person and not for whole of society. It should be a personal conflict for a ruling party, when the party making laws fitting their leader and not making progress, but that is not the issue for the financial implications, even if that is his job.
I should be amazed, but more a low sigh, and how dear he!
Besigye Factor:
“Do you really see anyone in the NRM who can stand and win that Besigye? Not [Prime Minister Ruhakana] Rugunda, not Otafiire [Kahinda, the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs]. I don’t even think Muhoozi [Kainerugaba, Museveni’s first son] can defeat him,” said a party official who is part of the group at the centre of calls to delete the age caps. “Do you even really think Museveni can go to Kololo and hand over to Besigye? That man is too angry. When you talk about Museveni in his presence he gets so quickly worked up he almost gets spasms. Why is he so angry at him? So for us, we’re with our Mzee for as long as he [Besigye] is around,” the official added. The Besigye factor appeared to be corroborated by Minister of Finance Matia Kasaija. Speaking on a popular nightly radio talk show on October 4, he said of President Museveni that the NRM “still sees value in him” (Kigambo, 2017).
This here is insulting, it is just so deep that the NRM and the cronies says this to the press. That they push their agenda this way. Just like Mwenda, said the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), should push forward the lifting of the age limit. Because if they do, then Besigye can continue to run for President. The same in another tune is used by Kasaija. It is both insane.
You wonder why people are tired and angry? Would Kasaija be angry if he was detained, arrested, house-arrested, charged on phony charges, harassed, tear-gassed and constantly monitored by the Police. Maybe then, the Finance Minister would have some consideration why the opposition are against Museveni and the NRM.
Besigye is angry at the oppression and away the freedom. The democracy is not there, when the state controls and oppress as it does. The Opposition MPs are suspended and arrested just for the Motion introduced and the first reading in Parliament. Not like the Opposition matters for NRM. They are not really in sync. This is well-known facts for the NRM, but the Finance Minister wants to blame Besigye.
Besigye is not the reason for the lifting of the age limit. That is Museveni himself and his agenda. The NRM is just another tool for his long term status. NRM Cronies will say elections is the safeguard, but how are they when the Electoral Commission doctor the ballots in a fashion that makes math-class unnecessary for the Electoral Commission Secretariat. The President needs this and they will do whatever to do his bidding.
Dr. Kizza Besigye is not the reason for the Age Limit, not within the NRM. That is a lie, a BIG FAT LIE! BIG FAT LIE. BFL, the whole nine yards. NRM MPs, NRM Cronies can spell out their venom and their poison, but doesn’t mean we don’t have the cure. The nonsense and bullshit has to stop.
Finance Minister Kasaija, do I look like smuck? Do you think the has tinier brain capacity than I do? Finance Minister, Honorable Kasaija, do you think we cannot see through lies?
It is easier to spot it, than a tomato-sauce stain on a white carpet! Get real and back-off. The Besigye factor is lie, a big fat lie. It is bigger than the usual crap that come out of the Ofwono Opondo or Andrew Mwenda. You have raised the bar! And you should go to the bar, take a drink and wonder why you turned into this sorry person. Who uses Besigye as motivation for life presidency of Museveni. Come-on. Give it rest pest. Peace.
