Why Col. Abiriga's village house is AIGP #Kaweesi's pigpen

 

Col. Ibrahim Abiriga is the M.P for Arua Municipality. He was born in 1956 and joined the army in 1971. He was at one time the Manager of Pakuba Lodge owned by the government. He has served in different military and civil service positions including Resident District Commissioner. He is now regarded as a top Museveni life Presidency scheme promoter.

The recent stage-managed arson attempt on his village home brought to the public eye his dilapidated village house that is located within Arua Municipality. The dilapidated structure looks like the old colonial public servants’ quarters that Museveni sold off to his cohorts.

Many Ugandans have expressed dismay at Col. Abiriga’s poor housing condition in an era of "Tuli Mukintu" (we are in-charge). It has become fashionable for display of pomp and wealth during burial of regime cohorts which are in most cases graced by the presence of Museveni as the chief mourner. It is such show of wealth that justifies the eulogies of the deceased having been a hardworking and developmental citizen. One wonders if such Col. Abiriga's dilapidated house will be convenient to host Museveni in case, God forbid, Col. Abiriga dies!!!

AIGP Felix Kaweesi on the other hand was born in 1974 and joined the police force in 2000. By the time he died in early 2017 he had served the police for 17 years at the rank of AIGP and the defacto number two in the force. He was so patriotic and developmental that he had not only accumulated huge unexplained personal wealth but generously supported developmental activities in his home area.

Deep in his Kyazanga home village his palatial upcountry 8 self-contained room house sits on a 320 acre of land. Its paved compound is one and a half acre. By comparison, if Col. Abiriga's dilapidated house was to be moved onto Kaweesi's land, it would be located at the far end of his land and used as an enclosure for pigs. In the city, his residential bungalow is equally amazing and it hosted Museveni during the funeral. He was applauded as having been very patriotic and developmental.

May be if Col. Abiriga held a Bachelor’s degree and spoke Kinyarwanda, his house would match that of Kaweesi.

Col. Abiriga's dilapidated house is a wakeup call for all those who are blindly in bed with the Museveni regime.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND DEFIANCE IS THE WAY TO GO!
