In an amazing scenario, the MP for Mityana North, Godfrey Kiwanda who was among the MPs in the seventh parliament, who lifted president Museveni’s term of office from two to infinity, has now asked the same president he gave green light to leave state power.
Kiwanda says that the over 26 years Museveni has ruledUgandaare enough and that the president should leave power after his term of office in 2016 in order to avoid Ugandans to turn into violent.
Speaking on Bukedde TV yesterday, Kiwanda said Museveni should quit power and goes back to look after his cows and grand children. Museveni is a herdsman. The MP says that Museveni not so long ago was the only man inUganda‘who could light fire when it is raining’ but he is now sending the same country he liberated into a political limbo.
Museveni when he captured power in 1986 he is remembered to have told Ugandans that the problem with African leaders is the desire to over stay in power. Kiwanda says there are many people in NRM living quietly but wishing Museveni to leave power.
Kiwanda asked Museveni to copy a leaf from Nelson Mandela ofSouth Africawho quit power when he was still a darling of his people. In 1986 and the early 1990s Museveni would cough and most Ugandans fill concerned but the same Ugandans he rules now wish him hell.
