UGANDA: Why it's only Tumwine, Otafiire, Muhwezi and not Kyaligonza to issue threats!

WHY ITS ONLY TUMWINE, OTAFIIRE, MUHWEZI AND NOT KYALIGONZA TO ISSUE THREATS!!!

"Bobi Wine should go slow, the NRM government he is tarnishing over human rights violation designed the constitution and enshrined in it laws that protect the human rights during elections. Breaking these laws is undermining the government. Stay away from such people….the likes of Bobi Wine. Let Bobi Wine stay in his lane and stop scratching where it does not hurt, and later shout ‘human rights’. That’s not how they play with the government."

Gen. Jim Muhweezi, addressing Rwerere Local Council in Rujumbura - 29/8/2018

“One of them came telling me they want change, they no-longer want dead wood, I told her to go slow, take advice from old people like us, and it is the same I am advising our young people. The best way is partnership, befriend the old guard so that they don’t see you as a threat, but they have worked for this, looked after you up to this stage, and you say you want them away! You are spoiling your future, they can also say they want you away. Don’t threaten these old people because you want change now, in a home you don’t just wake up and say my father go away. These old people can be very dangerous if you confront them negatively, they are experienced and tested and they know what to do.”

Gen. Elly Tumwine, addressing the press - 26/8/2018.

“I am telling you to relax. Nobody is going to shout Museveni out of office,” he said.
“Museveni will only be kicked out by your votes. Those who scuttle around in old shirts, you should tell them to go slow.”

Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, during a public function in Kiruhura - 30/8/2018.

The above three army generals and Museveni's top Bush War comrades have issued the above threats in response to the current situation in the country. They are worried of a mass uprising that may dislodge them out of power.

The three are among the few top Museveni cadres who have pillaged the country and are holding Ugandans hostage. They and their kinsmen have for decades enjoyed Museveni's patronage thus their major worry of loosing out if Museveni is dislodged from power.

On the other hand, Gen. Matayo Kyaligonza who is also another top Museveni Bush War comrade has not and may not issue out such threats. This is because apart from stealing cattle from Teso in the late 1980s, he is not among those who have pillaged the country and has nothing to lose if Museveni is dislodged from power. Speaking on CBS Radion on Museveni's removal of constitutional age limit, he said;

“The president should listen to what people are saying. He should stop pretending to be very busy. He should use this chance [to retire] now when we still love him, not to give a chance to everyone to say he is tired. The bad thing is, it has come at a time when Museveni is also 75 years old; we have now over-personalised this debate. We (Constituent Asssembly) said instead of just pushing them out by force, let’s put in place mechanisms where it’s nature that will stop somebody from standing again. But now some people think what we did was for nothing."

Obviously, for Museveni and his cohorts, Gen. Kyaligonza's argument qualified him to being branded a Kipinga (subversive). By the time he approached Brig. Mayombo seeking Museveni's attention, then Brig. Kyaligonza had been economically hit hard. In his letter to Museveni that was delivered by Brig. Mauombo, he stated he could not even afford paying school fees for his children. Museveni immediately appointed him Ambassador to Kenya and later to Burundi.

He is a member of the regime's Central Executive Committee (CEC) by virture of his being the Vice Chairperson Western Region. However, around late 2015 the regime attempted to dump him in favor of Museveni's son in law, Odrek Rwabwogo. He bitterly reacted
thus;

“You have never really chaired L.C1 and you want to become Vice Chairman Western region? Your father in law is the Chairman of NRM, your mother in law sometimes attends CEC as an invited guest. Rwabwogo is like any other human being who marries from the first family. Maybe if Museveni was still producing, my son would marry a daughter from his family.”

Since then, Gen. Kyaligonza's position within the regime has never been the same.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
