Why Hon Kyagulanyi is a top target of #Museveni's security services - #Uganda

 

"The security services have shown me a statement ascribed to Hon. Bibi Wine when the age limit debate started recently. .... we shall confront and defeat anybody who intimidates or threaten our peace."

Museveni's response to Hon. Bobi wine.

The youthful Hon. Kyagulanyi a.k.a Bobi Wine is the Member of Parliament for Kyadondo. Since his election about three months ago, he has demonstrated a strong appeal to the urban underprivileged more especially the youth who are craving for change of leadership. He has been the focus of local, regional, and international major media outlets. His unweathering stand against Museveni's political machinations and manipulation has earned him frequent arrests, violent confrontation and grenade terror attacks by the security forces.

Museveni has been grooming his son, Gen. Muhoozi to inherit his Kingdom of Uganda. To create a constituency for him, he has done away with all the old Turks in both the public service and the security services, save for Gen. Kalekyezi, for obvious reasons. He has replaced them with sycophants who are being initiated into adoring Gen. Muhoozi. The appointment of the likes of the disgraceful Evelyn Anitte and Kibuule to cabinet positions was meant to serve this purpose. Depending on the situation that will be pertaining at the next sham elections in 2021, it is most likely that it will be Gen. Muhoozi who will be on the ballot paper. It will also depend in if

Museveni will have succeeded in becoming the Head if the East African Community (EAC) political federation. However, he is not taking chances and may be back on the ballot paper cone 2021 if the situation will not be favourable for his son. That is why he is Fisher with the scrapping if the constitutional age limit to allow him run beyond 75 years.

The coming of the more youthful, charismatic, opposition leaning, ethnic Muganda, resolute and financially stable Hon. Kyagulanyi on the political scene undermines Museveni’s succession agenda against his son.  For that reason, Hon. Kyagulanyi’s political rise is being rated by Museveni's security services as treasonous. That is why in his missive, Museveni cites the security services as having been the ones who gave him the report on Hon. Kyagulanyi's public statements. Under normal circumstances it should have been the regime (NRM) Secretariat to have responded to Hon. Kyagulanyi or at best prepared a brief to Museveni as the party chairman. No wonder, Museveni's response serves to confirm that for him those with divergent political views are enemies of the state who are subjected to scrutiny by the security services.

To Hon. Kyagulanyi, don't get excited with public debates with Museveni but as you extend your arm to him for a handshake be mindful of his other arm folded at his back that is holding a sword and ready to strike. You either dance to his tunes or else you will be sorted out. Watch the space.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND DEFIANCE IS THE WAY TO GO
