A look into Gen. Sejusa’s retirement speech

Today I will talk about and address a recent speech by someone who has stood tall, who has been in trouble and been attacked the by system. This is General David Sejusa aka Tinye aka Tinyefuza. A man who has warned the nation about “Project Muhoozi” and went to exile about it. This week after over two decades waiting for his official retirement. It finally happened and he even held a speech like Nobel. He could have walked out in spite or in anger. The General would have all the reasons to do so. His been violated, cascaded and been maliciously treated for his rebellion.

On the 31^st August 2022, the day was finally there for Gen. Sejusa and he held a powerful speech. I will not look into all of it, but only a few titbits of it. He really spells things out, but in a manner of which is to be expected of a man who is held in high regard.

The first paragraphs that caught my eyes was these:

“As it is normally the case many may wonder, the Gen Sejusa who has had runs in with the system and so on, how does he now represent these gallant officers? The answer is simple ; It’s because he belongs to the family and the family never breaks no matter the disagreements. There are four types of family which maybe summarised; The human family; The one of Adam and Eve and I, and the African Family, the Ugandan family and then the biological family under which all of us fall. The UPDF/NRA family falls under the Uganda family. The essence of family as a unit is for the survival of a species or that subject or object and for that family to survive, it must have the capacity to manage and withstand the disagreements and the contradictions within no-matter how fundamental they maybe or they may appear to be” (Sejusa, 31.08.2022).

Here the General is stating a vital point, but it’s like he haven’t seen what has happened to other dissidents. The General of the ages, a man I admire and aspire to his finesse of rebelling from inside. He surely have seen how costly it has been to disagree wit the NRA/NRM over the years. Gen. Sejusa must have seen that… and he must known the practices from the inside too. That’s why the ideals his speaking of is valid and sincere. However, we know damn well the practices towards outsiders and popular dissidents. It was for a reason why he only felt safe going into exile too after deciding to leak “Project Muhoozi”. The General didn’t do that out of nowhere, but because he knew what was waiting him…

Gen. Sejusa continues:

“Freedom fighting is not a simple smooth enterprise where the lion may lie with the lamb as the bible says. It is a terrain that can be bumpy, thorny, deadly, meandering and dangerous. That’s why leaders who take on the role of fighting for freedom of the African peoples need ideological grounding to navigate this difficult terrain. Mr President, I thank you for the years we have been in these wars and nation building to see the strives which have been made. The African survival will depend on the leadership who acquire capacities to manage the difficult bottlenecks and contradictions” (Sejusa, 31.08.2022).

The words here is really compelling too. Gen. Sejusa says this with all of his heart. We know that he has challenged Museveni and his credentials. That’s why he stood by the side of Dr. Kizza Besigye at one point too. Gen. Sejusa knows what cause he fought for and what sort of state the Republic is in now. It is also obvious that he says the freedom fighting isn’t over and has to be fought for to this day. Because, he says there are bottlenecks and possible contradictions. Therefore, Gen. Sejusa states the mission isn’t over and to say that is an assessment of how the President has failed.

He further says:

“I wish to thank the leadership who have since held this country together. It’s not easy for African countries to remain peaceful for 40years. It’s not easy. So it shouldn’t be lost anywhere despite our disagreements. As times change and political differences crop up, we get many revisionists. History must never be altered or rewritten and absolutely I am no revisionist my self. The NRA leadership, the chairman of the high command, Yoweri Museveni who led that war and the commanders who served under him achieved the un-imaginable. It was not easy” (Sejusa, 31.08.2022).

This here statement can be questioned, what sort of peace has there been since 1986? The North was burning for ages after the NRA took-over Kampala. Further, there been several of conflicts and usage of the army in civilian manner ever since. That’s why the peace that has been created is fragile and not really sustainable. The centre only holds because of the army and not only defending the nation against invaders. It is there to attack and intimidate the citizens. That is not revising history, but assessing the realities. The NRM cannot hold without the UPDF. That is a truth and this is why the President invest most into the UPDF. This is his bread-and-butter.

The last part I will quote is this:

“Those still serving the UPDF, the mission to liberate Africa has never been greater and more urgent. So much has been achieved and a lot is yet to be achieved. We have like it is a case everywhere, new challenges, some are existancial; I pray that the leadership God gives it wisdom to navigate these hardships. Therefore continue training, use the opportunities being provided. Make sure that you deepen your ideological horizons. But above all love your Nation and always honour the people of Uganda. They are special people” (Sejusa, 31.08.2022).

Well, the mission of UPDF is this: ”To defend and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Uganda, and the Constitution that encapsulates people’s sovereignty through popular will”. That’s why the liberation of Africa isn’t UPDF mission or the NRA in general. This is just the wording, which comes to play when you want to galvanize and make the causes more vital. While the UPDF is the national army and the army of nation, which makes the purpose to defend the integrity and the borders of the Republic from invaders. The UPDF isn’t there as tool or a means to salvage others. No, that is what leaders and envision other purposes for it.

The latest part of the paragraph is something that all in the UPDF should listen to, because it’s the other reason why they are there in the first place. The UPDF has to serve and love the nation, as they are defending it. That is just obvious, but a very nice sentiment.

Secondly, honour the people, meaning don’t extra judicial kill, torture or be part of the oppressive agenda, which we know the UPDF have been. If the soldiers and the ones serving is listening to Gen. Sejusa than they should actually stop doing this things, because there is no honour in injustice or impunity. Neither is it serving the people, if they are violating their rights and liberties. Therefore, the words matters and the UPDF should really honour the special people of Uganda.

Gen. Sejusa deserve praise and honour for his service. Also, for his defiance and his open rebellion against the state. That’s why the state punished him and didn’t let him retire for so long. This is why I have a soft spot for him. Even if he spoke in such manner towards Museveni yesterday. While I understand why he did it… Peace.

26 Years and Counting: Gen. David Sejusa still isn’t allowed retire from the army

This General has caused a lot stir over the years. He has clearly been a resound opposition during the years of 2013, as he revealed the “Project Muhoozi” and the plan of ushering the first son as the successor of the President. He went a year away in Exile and formed a political party Freedom and Unity Front (FUF), which he used as a vehicle in exile.

Gen. David Sejusa aka Tinyefuza aka Tinye have a huge standing in the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) as he served as army commander and also a member of High Command UPDF, the UPDF defense council and a member of parliament representing the Uganda People’s Defence Force.

Reported about his first retirement request:

“On December 3, 1996, Sejusa who was then a presidential aisor on Defence and Internal Affairs, wrote to President Museveni as commander in chief, resigning from the UPDF. “With great difficulty, I have decided to resign as a member of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces…There are several reasons but most important among those is that I feel I am unjustly being harassed over my testimony before that Parliamentary Committee…To require me to appear before the High Command so that action is taken against me is rather too high handed,” Sejusa wrote” (The Observer – ‘Retirement – Will Sejusa Have His Way This Time?’ 03.01.2015).

Reported about his second retirement request:

“Once again, it all depends on the wish of President Museveni as commander in chief. Dr Busingye Kabumba, a constitutional law lecturer at Makerere University, said in a Monday interview that legally speaking Sejusa can succeed in his quest to retire. “Gen Sejusa enjoys the right to retire or resign for as long as he follows the established procedure. But the grant of his wish is a matter that is dependent on the political reality of the time,” Kabumba said” (The Observer – ‘Retirement – Will Sejusa Have His Way This Time?’ 03.01.2015).

He has blocked his request again in 2022:

“The judges explained that the approval of the application to resign can be withheld on reasonable grounds and that the effect of not communicating the approval or disapproval of the application meant that Gen Sejusa continued to be a serving army officer. “ln practical terms, he remained the serving officer of the UPDF after the statutory 90 days and this amounted in practicaI effect, for the intervening period before he receives his or her approval or refusal of the approval, a refusal.” The Court of Appeal consequently overturned the judgment by Justice Margaret Oumo Oguli that had indicated the Gen Sejusa had been retired from the army” (Kenneth Kazibwe – ‘Government wins case to have Gen Sejusa back in army’ 14.02.2022).

The NRA Commander and insider within the National Resistance Movement who fell out with the President. Is clearly not allowed or blocked from civilian life. As he has lost his privileges in Parliament and within the UPDF. However, his still a soldier in their eyes. While Gen. Sejusa haven’t been involved or worked within the national army for years.

We know the fallout was already in 2013 and that’s 9 years ago. The General is close to 10 years in defiance of the President. The President did promise his retirement in 2019 but the Courts have clearly not allowed it. Therefore, the General is still part of UPDF to this day.

Just imagine when the Party and the Government can do this to its own. A man who was a commander and a resolute soldier in their liberation war. When they can retaliate and act this way towards him. Yes, his been an insider and has vast knowledge of how the NRA, UPDF and NRM operated. As he was a trusted army commander and he did excel in his role. However, his still a person who has his rights and is justified to retire.

The reason for not doing is, as simple as if he speaks or utter words of defiance he can be challenged in Court Martial and be seen as treasonous. It would like his mutineer and going against the army, which he happens to represent. Even if he hasn’t been in command or held an office within it for years. That’s the only reason for this quagmire and lack of results.

It’s tragic, but it’s like the saying:

“Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer”. That’s evident here and it’s all in the open for the whole word to digest. Peace.

Project Muhoozi: The Lieutenant General was aspiring all along

““Further, you need to investigate the very serious claims that the same actors are organizing elements of former Wembley under one police officer Ayegasire Nixon to assassinate people who disagree with this so-called family project of holding onto power in perpetuity,” “Muhoozi Project” (…) “indeed intelligence has picked some clandestine actions by this reckless and rather naïve actors to have some youth recruited as rebels and then frame some members of security services and key politicians perceived as anti-establishment.” The “Muhoozi project”” (General David Sejusa aka Tinye aka Tinyefuza letter to Director of ISO, Col Ronnie Balya, 29.03.2013).

We are now in October 2021 and the controversial letter was published by Red Pepper in May 2013. It has gone over 8 years since the first publication put it into print. Several of newspapers was under siege and also radio stations. They were investigated, as the letter wasn’t supposed to go public and secondly, the Internal Security Organization Director never got the letter was it claimed.

This here unleashed a secret and a narrative that was new. Because, there never been open discussion about succession from President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. That was an insult and treason to do. If you aimed above your pay-grade or appointed office. You could expect to be sacked, loose your position and be vilified. That has happen to several of leaders within the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Therefore, the letter revealed not only a plan to assassinate several of people, but that there was a scheme to promote Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga.

That was supposed to be a secret and not talked about. He had already been favourably promoted and was leading the Special Forces Command. However, he wasn’t the sort of sought after leader. The army commander was only someone because of his birthright. His the son of the President got off easy and now they are preparing him for the Presidency. Just because his the son and the people are supposed to be carried away.

Yes, in recent months he has started to talk about diplomatic relations and pan-Africanism. Where he wants to prove his skills and leadership qualities. As he hold talks with high ranking officials in Somalia and talked with Kenyatta in Nairobi, Kenya. Now, his handlers and social media team is launching his poster for his campaign next term.

We can wonder if someone was assassinated for standing in the way of the project. We can wonder if someone lost their title and ranks. Because, they was vocal against the cause. That is what we should wonder about. Since, the son and his comrades are on the move. They have slowly done it. Muhoozi have even printed hoodies with “Project Muhoozi” on it. While he has claimed to the media that his not seeking the throne. Alas, it seems more likely now.

This sort of move is very special. Not strange considering how many who boosts his ego on the regular on social media. There are so many that blesses his name and his stature. They are making him into a saint and a messiah. Alas, his not a hero and neither popular. That is all a fraud and fake. Just like the polls ahead of the elections showing Yoweri the majority. Therefore, the same will be created for him.

It is really crazy thinking back now. That the General had to go to exile. Newspapers was closed for days and radios too. All for the secrecy of the succession. It is now alive and you can wonder at what cost and to what extent they are willing to take it. Since, the President and his men was willing to take it very far in 2013. Now it’s 2021 and this candidacy is a preparation for 2026. Which is the whole term we are in. However, that says it all. That they are trying to get the mind prepared for him and his “leadership”. Peace.

Opinion: Museveni wants the second generation to do his bidding [and the DRA is here]

“I have been discussing with my children, who are now senior adults, the timeliness of creating the DRA (the Descendants’Resistance Army I) to take forward the work of the original NRA of their parents” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, State of the Nation Address on the 04.06.2021

We know things are off the hook. The State of the Nation Address yesterday was a snoozefest, but I still had to drop two points, which stands out. Not the other obnoxious and obvious lies. Neither, the ordinary boosting of his ego and supposed achievements, which he directs back to the stone-age. Just like the old President invented the wheel and was the first man to create fire in the caves of Luweero. That is just how this saga goes.

Now, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) have spawned in every direction. Every term and every year, they are adding additional organizations and units underneath it. They have the Poor Youth, SOMA, Youth-League, Woman’s League, Youth Power, Yellow Brigade and everything else. There are so many creations… and initiatives, you can wonder if they can keep it all up.

The NRM has done this always as an reaction to one or another opposition party, which was mobilizing one part of the society. Therefore, the NRM needed to have something draw attention and look like it cared about the same demographics.

Now, they have gone into descendants. That is surely more sexy and more feasible, than trying sell NRA Historicals on the regular. Making the old school and the loyal soldiers of old getting perks in the current day. Now, they are working or the kids and the next generation.

MacMillan Dictionary describes descendant as: “a relative of a person who lived in the past” (MacMillan Dictionary – ‘Descendant’). The funny thing here is that Museveni and the NRA didn’t all live in the past. This is securing and making it feasible to sell the next generation. Having the sons and daughters to takeover. They are preparing and initiating reasons for the second generation of NRM to have control.

This is like the wet dream of Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga and his naked ambition. He and all the others wants to ensure the party continues. They are afraid of losing the empire and the ability to control the State House. The Museveni’s and their associates wants to have an excuse for the next generation.

That is why the Descendants are suddenly a thing. The Historicals is losing out and they will be dimmed with time. Their work and legacy will not be as valued, since they are processing ways to usher in the sons and daughters. Kuteesa have already been able to do so. His daughter (Shartsi Kuteesa Musherur), is in Parliament already.

Museveni wants to ensure he gets enough token soldiers of the current grown generation to fight the same battles as before. Just to continue on the foundation and be in the battlefield for him. It is not like he can be in battle or jump between skirmishes in the bush. He needs the perks and will not give that away anytime soon.

This descendant thing is to secure the future of the elite and the ones in-connection to the President. Maybe the first step into succession and dwelling into the truths that was leaked by Gen. David Sejusa back in the day. Only done more as a sideshow in the SONA of 2021. Project Muhoozi never died, but it is multiplying apparently. Peace.

Project Muhoozi is clearly a thing…

Well, surprise, surprise that the high above wants to handpick his successor in the Republic. Like the son is the only one who can rule after him. That the President thinks so and the Kitchen Cabinet accepts is all natural at this point. Because Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has decided everything since 1986 and therefore, they are all eating on his behalf.

This thing has surfaced before, General David Sejusa aka Tinye aka Tinyefuza revealed this letters back in early 2013. That after the President finally retires, his son will take over the commando and be His Excellency. Like Muhoozi Kainerubaga is the only one fitting the role of the Presidency after him.

What is striking about this is that they are treating the Presidency and the Highest Office like a monarchy. They are thinking because its within the bloodline, he should reign automatically. Not that its a need for vetting, party protocol or anything. Since it comes from the high above and that’s why its a thing.

Seemingly, the President will not push for his wife Janet, like Mugabe tried to or planned too. Even if she’s a minister for the second time. Its like they can find ways to manoeuvrer things for themselves. To push their son in the forefront. Surely, their been party lackey’s who wanted to get to the upper-echelon. Some for the will of getting more power, other to show flex and last they deemed itself time for a new broom in the State House. However, Museveni have never made that possible.

The Project Muhoozi has been in the open. Even Muhoozi has started to wear hoodies in public. During the COVID-19 donations and food deliveries have been marked with donations from “friends of Muhoozi”. To top it off, the future King supports several of bloggers, activists online and vloggers. Who all will surely write favourable blogs, make soft-praise videos and on social media platforms. That is why they are getting food from him delivered through Promoter Balaam and “Social Media Coordinator” of NRM with Duncan Abigaba.

Therefore, we know this very well planned. If you gone on social media, been with UoT on Twitter or in a Ugandan Facebook group. Someone will praise the man to skies, his the greatest military commando and government official since Napoleon Bonaparte and so fourth. The greatness of Muhoozi shows no bound, his generosity is endless and that’s why everyone should see that.

If Muhoozi touches something it will turn to gold. He will be grandest and best big-man in history. There is no bound to his strength, mental capacity nor his will to be a ruler. His predetermined by the High Above, the Gods and his we the rest just his underlings. There is no choice, because Muhoozi is the chosen one. The juju is strong with this one, the Empire is rising and Starnet has crashed. He can be the only guy to rule the nation. The public just got to accept that.

This is the sort of thing that will come out and is online. That his the great man, the lover, the husband and the son of the President, who is the next in line. Like there is no one else in the Republic who can take the mantle.

Well, there is plenty of big-men waiting in line. There is plenty civilians who has the ability and capacity to takeover from Museveni. However, his thin-skinned man who doesn’t want to loose the cookie-jar and wants his family to eat from this plate. Because, he knows what happens to the families who are cut off from it. This family will be even more, as there might be inquires and investigation into the massive wealth gained in office. That would be righteous.

But… but… if he gets his son on the throne, then he will not question that. Because he eats from the same plate and has the same power. There will be no difference. Just a man who has been in the chambers of powers and been close to the top all of his life. A man whose seen how conning and actions made by his father. He will do the same or even amp it more up. Since, Muhoozi has been vocal online and shown a fierce tone for a Presidential Advisor. He gotten away with it, since his the son.

Project Muhoozi is a thing and its alive. They are slowly enforcing it. Step by step. What was shocking to them. Was that Gen. Sejusa leaked it to the press and it was supposed to be in the fringes and made normal. Now they are doing that, they are normalizing his presence and his stature.

Muhoozi claims he doesn’t have an ambition, but that is a lie. He wouldn’t done everything his father wants and using the COVID-19 for political capital. As they will remember he gave them beans and posho. That is the reality.

This ship hasn’t sailed. It is on-going and its a reality. That the State House thinks they can do this and get away with it like its a monarchy. When its not… There are plenty of kings in the Republic, but the highest office in the land isn’t. That’s why its a President and not a KING. Peace.

Opinion: Muhoozi’s entitlement oozes in concern with possible dialogue with Bobi Wine

The Lieutenant General Muhoozi Kainerubaga, the son of the President entitlement has been shown all week. His presence and his stance on social media, as well as his paid handlers to promote the “Project Muhoozi” is a drive to stand as a future candidate. This combined with his sentiment of talks with People Power Movement and Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. Just shows his lack of finesse and understanding of it all.

His grown in the State House, his a Presidential Advisor for Special Operatives and former leader of the Special Force Command. His military training, but has never represented anyone, other than being part of the clan and being next in line to the Ssabagabe of Rwakitura. This is really it. The man should know what troubles, what issues the state has inflicted on Bobi Wine. However, that is not obvious to the man, whose living in a glorified bubble. Certainly either in Kololo or somewhere else in affluent suburbs of Kampala.

Muhoozi should praise the Gods for the reluctant response of Bobi Wine. Bobi Wine could have answered with all guns, he could have retorted with a fierce message. The one scorned by the state is him and his people. He is charged by the state in various of criminal cases, he is charged with treason and awaiting trail for dozens of them. Bobi Wine has been tortured and needed healing, even was blocked for a while to travel to the United States for treatment.

Muhoozi should also not forget all the associates, all the activists behind bars. All the ones who sudden vanished, killed and disappeared. The ones who is close to Bobi Wine get caught and suddenly stop breathing. Because, that is what the state does to them at the moment. Either in the pen or dead. This is the manner of which the state approach him and his people.

Muhoozi when he speaks of war and peace, his father and the agencies around him is in direct warfare against People Power. They are assaulting and directly using all arms of government to oppress and silence them. It is not like Bobi Wine doesn’t know that or doesn’t feel that. Not like he can perform, have meetings or be active. Muhoozi can play a fool, but that’s not cool.

Lt. Gen. Muhoozi is a bubble, a bubble of entitlement and braggadocios flair. That is who he is and seems to be. He got handlers promoting his every breath and former stints. While, the ones rising with popularity is going through hell and fire. The hell and fire created by the state, which let’s the Lt. Gen self-promote himself because of his lineage and not because of anything he has produced or created himself.

Bobi Wine deserves credit for his retort. However, he shouldn’t discuss or participate in talks. Unless, the state changes it ways and the way it oppress his associates. Since, there are to many lives lost, to many behind bars and to many hurt. Just because of association and not even acts of criminality. This is why Muhoozi should think for a little moment, but don’t anticipate that. Since, his is so shielded and highly regarded because the Ssabagabe elevated his stature to the stars.

So, Muhoozi do yourself a favour. If you want to talk peace. Get the commandos and the officers around Bobi Wine to back-down, get the soldiers, LDUs and the police officers to not assault, kill and arrest civilians in association with him. If you do that, then there might be a will. Especially, if the ones killing and torturing civilians get punished in courts of law. That would be even better…

However, Mr. Muhoozi, I know you will never do that. Because, then you would offend the Don. Peace.

Opinion: Muhoozi promotes the “Muhoozi Project” and verifies Tinyefuza

“Some evil people coined this phrase to try and destroy us! But trust my generation to convert every curse into a blessing! Thank you Ugandans!” (Muhoozi Kainerugba, 04.03.2020).

Waiting is the hardest thing in life. Especially, when someone as associated, trusted and internally knowing the National Resistance Army/Movement (NRA/M) as General David Sejusa aka Tinye aka Tinyefuza. Who got international recognition and got into exile after releasing a letter to the Daily Monitor on the 7^th May 2013 on the “Muhoozi Project”. Certainly, the prodigal son wants to be more than the gatekeeper. Seeing how his mother and father is ruling the Republic. Also fearing how he will be deemed when his parents are gone.

Muhoozi Kainerugba is the son of the President and the First Lady(which is also the Minister of Education). Even if Janet isn’t his birth-mother, as that is Hope Rwaheru from Fort Portal. Birth in Loitokitok General hospital on the 24^th April 1974.

His the next in line, but this is a Presidency and not a Kingdom. Even if the Ssabagabe of Rwakitura farm and all the others in the Republic is his father. That doesn’t initially make him automatically to the crown. Even if he coins the project as positive. Still, at this point its political fiction. Which could be written some fancy author and printed by Pambazuka/Famahu or something.

Here’s a key thing:

“In the letter, Gen Sejjusa asks the security services to investigate allegations that some military and political leaders in the country are being targeted for assassination for opposing what has come to be known as the ‘Muhoozi Project’. The project is in reference to President Yoweri Museveni’s alleged plan to have his son succeed him when he retires. The letter also says that some elements within te top army leadership staged an attack on Mbuya Barracks in March this year so as to frame others on treason charges. Some of the people targeted, according to Sejusa include himself and Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, among others” (Red Pepper – ‘DEVELOPING: Red Pepper Still Under Siege, Management To Address Press Conference’ 20.05.2013).

It is really a magic that Muhoozi is speaking of coining the “Muhoozi Project” evil. The authorities and the regime made this an evil intent, as it closed Red Pepper and Daily Monitor who exposed the matter. It sent the General Sejusa into exile. Further more it created even more hurt, which haven’t been verified nor proven, as there are several more people who got into trouble by publishing and unleashing this to the public.

Muhoozi Project is most likely alive now. The son has the keys, the power are within reach and he wants it. He has dismissed it in the past, but shows his true intent. There is no denying it now. His even trying to spin it to a positive. Like there was no fuzz, no issues with the release of it and not like it wasn’t from a credible source from within. That is why it had to be shutdown by the authorities as quickly as possible.

In 2020, Muhoozi is reviving the Muhoozi Project. If his trying to what is said in the letter in 2013. Than, we can anticipate the ones who stand in his way could be assassinated and gotten rid off. As long as he get the throne. We know his military trained and been leading the Special Force Command. Therefore, he has trained personnel to help him reach that.

So, if he wants to speak of evil, maybe him and the SFC should answer for its connection to the massacre in Kasese. That would have been kind to do so.

However, don’t anticipate it, as entitlement, also braggadocios attempt of self-righteousness. That is what his twitter post was today. This is why, we need to address the nonsense and call him out. Peace.

A Breakdown: A Pattern of condescending retorts going Bobi Wine’s way!

Well, when you get to certain levels of fame, fortune and political leverage. The other players and politicians take notice and therefore, you either become someone you aspire to be or someone you tries to downplay. In this regard, this piece is about the ones who tries to downplay Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. This is all to be expected at this point. As the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the President wants to discredit any voice or dissidents that are there. That is natural. So the first one commenting, is coming as clockwork, the second one too. Which also striking in the regard, that its perspective is militarized and belittling Bobi Wine. Take a look, before resume!

“If you surrender government to small boys like Bobi Wine, you would declare the entire country a national emergency in a period of 6 months. These small wanainchi think running a nation is like managing a small music band” – Gen. Kahinda Otafiire.

“The Military formation of Uganda i know currently would not allow the civilian likes of Bobi Wine as their Commander In Chief. Museveni positioned their mind in away they can only accommodate a president with a strong military background or a known political veteran” Gen David Sejusa aka Tinyefuza aka Tinye.

Now, that these statements are out of the way. Let me begin. Otafiire is the clockwork man, the ever loyal cadre to Museveni. No one would ever have the statute or the ability to reign, except his friend Yosri. We all know this, they have been thick as thieves since the Bush-War. There is no denying in that, Otafiire isn’t in government because he was elected, no he got promoted as civilian. Otafiire, has as little traction, as he tried to bribe his competition to win the MP spot. Therefore, he cannot even himself stand on his ground. He has to pay-off people to gain their respects. Therefore, Otafiire, should be reminded, that he has nothing to compete or say himself in this manner. Other than another token of respect to his master and President. So, if Bobi Wine is small boy, what you are Otafiire? You lost to guy in prison, twice before the 10^th Parliament? So, your a loser than? Let’s say that is noted.

Now, let me take on a man, I have respected and understandably so, because of his defiance against the state. The way he has leaked information to the Daily Monitor and also worked with Besigye. Sejusa are smart, but falls short. The narrative of constant military presence in the State House and Presidency. Will never lead to the peaceful transition needed in the Republic. If the military are involved in internal manners like that. There will never be hope for a democratic elected leadership, as the guns and the guards will matter more.

Both, also addressed the age of Bobi Wine. While forgetting the average of the National Resistance Army guys entering into power, they where in the mid-thirties and early 40s in 1986. The same age bracket as Bobi Wine. To say that the friend Yoser or Yoweri was to young then. Would be wrong now. The only difference is that Museveni has all the sculls of Luweero on his conscience, while Bobi Wine has none.

Therefore, this belittling has to stop. Get another narrative. Get another preposition. Ask Bobi Wine about his policies and political framework. See if that holds water, not his age and if he has been around people carrying guns. That isn’t government and good governance. We all know that, these Generals knows that too. But acts like the reality is different.

When it really isn’t, yes the NRM is militarism incarnated, but that doesn’t mean the state should be likewise. Peace.
