Kyadondo East lawmaker Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine’s People Power movement has responded to President Yoweri Museveni’s remarks that the lawmaker is demonising Uganda.
People Power spokesperson, Joel Ssenyonyi on Friday issued a statement responding to Museveni who called Bobi an enemy of Uganda.
“Bobi Wine went to America and said that people should not come invest in Uganda. That means he is an enemy of progress in Uganda. When you go and tell foreigners that they should not come and invest in our country, you are waging war on our prosperity. So why then do you want to come and take advantage of that prosperity?” Museveni wondered in the interview.
However, Ssenyonyi says the president is engaging in a blame game.
“The allegation by our Outgoing President, Mr. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that the People Power leader Hon Robert Kyagulanyi told Americans not to invest in Uganda is not only ridiculous, but also littered with falsehoods. I think Mr. Museveni must have seen that in one of his dreams about Hon Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) since he spends nights thinking and dreaming about Bobi Wine!” Ssenyonyi wrote on his Facebook page.
His message has been echoed by Bobi Wine himself in a tweet, accusing Museveni of corruption.

The allegation by our Outgoing President, Mr. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that the People Power leader Hon Robert Kyagulanyi told Americans not to invest in Uganda is not only ridiculous, but also littered with falsehoods. I think Mr. Museveni must have seen that in one of his dreams about Hon Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) since he spends nights thinking and dreaming about Bobi Wine!
Hon Kyagulanyi in an interview with Aljazeera on 11th September 2018 cautioned Americans about the military aid they give to Uganda, since it’s not being used to protect Ugandans, but to torture, brutalise and even kill Ugandans who are opposed to Mr. Museveni’s 34 year rule.
Mr. Museveni should stop blaming Hon Kyagulanyi for his failures to make our country better. Hon Kyagulanyi only recently came to the political scene, surely he can’t be responsible for Mr. Museveni’s failure to transform our country yet he’s been in power for over 3 decades.
By the way, it’s deliberate for Mr. Museveni to impoverish Ugandans, that’s why for example he killed co-operatives. Poor and disempowered people are easy to rule over, they don’t challenge you, and they are easy to dissuade with things like soap and sugar.
Mr. Museveni, please carry your cross of mismanaging our country, stop passing the blame.
