In this article, we review president Museveni and his family’s rule over Uganda for the last 27 years. Without any hangovers or influence, I sit at my table in Kampala with my laptop open. My mind focuses deep into president Museveni’s leadership since 1986 to 2013.

I get a pen and list down all businesses president Museveni, his wife Janet Museveni, his brother Gen. Salim Saleh and all Museveni’s in laws have in Uganda. I will give you the full list of all the businesses Museveni’s family owns in Uganda in my next article immediately after this one.

My major attention in this article is not on the negative aspect of Museveni’s family empire, but on the positive part of it.  Looking at the list of the businesses and his family members have in Uganda, if you are poor you can not fail to develop ulcers.

But one should take comfort that most of the businesses Museveni’s family owns in Uganda are physical assets which any future Ugandan president may take over and re-distribute to the citizens currently deprived of their right to get riches.

In essence, Museveni’s huge riches are not a loss to Ugandans as most of the people want us to believe. But a positive contribution to Uganda’s development…Museveni’s businesses have created number of employment opportunities to Ugandans. I have written this news article in advance to prevent what happened in 1978-79 when Ugandan exiles that were headed by fallen Ugandan president Milton Obote and Museveni when he was still a youth returned and destroyed, looted businesses and houses once owned and run by Iddi Amin’s tribesmen, the Nubians.

The politicians who looted and destroyed the property of the Nubian community were Ugandans who later had to go to the international community to seek money for reconstruction and rehabilitation of what they ruined. I hear many people in Uganda promising that the day when Museveni gets out of power they will loot the property of the people currently in government and kill/exile dozens of them. I think it is improper to wreaked havoc at Garden City simply because is owned by the Museveni family. Instead of destruction, Ugandans need to pay attention to what the Museveni family and friends are doing outside the country and plan to reposess them. Any development the Museveni family has done in Uganda that is a positive contribution to Uganda’s development.
In 1979 Saint CharlesLwangaCollege in Koboko in North Western Uganda was looted and destroyed because it was located in Iddi Amin’s home village. Ugandans also harbours plan to destroy the property of investors that have had business links with the Museveni government.
