Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, here are three reasons why your apology is empty and meaningless

Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, here are three reasons why your apology is empty and meaningless:

1. You deliberately impoverished Ugandans through neoliberal policies and actively encouraged corruption. This impeded quality service delivery, killed thriving agribusinesses and cooperatives, wasted our country’s assets and destroyed a nascent industrial sector.

Additionally, you destroyed institutions of the State and replaced them with patronage-based and nepotism-driven networks which have ensured that the most unqualified people (starting with your wife and son) are holding sensitive public offices, while competent and over-qualified Ugandans remain idle, underutilised or are doing wonders for other countries.

2. You have lowered the individual and collective definition of success or wellbeing for Ugandans. The majority of us consider a car, house, nice clothes and having spare change to hangout on the weekend as being middle or upper middle class…yet our age mates in other societies are inventing vaccines, running blue chip companies, and creating cutting edge technologies for the future.

3. You have presided over some of the most violent episodes of our post-independence history, including the massacres of Ugandans in Acholi, Lango, Teso, Buganda, and Kasese. These nations continue to suffer the indelible effects of the killing machine you command.

On top of these wounds, your son (and the useful idiots who support him) is currently conducting a countrywide reign of terror against the political opposition, with your tacit approval.

With the limited time in power you have left, the most authentic apology that you can give Ugandans is to stop pussyfooting, wake up to the fact that at your age and level of exhaustion, there’s nothing more you can offer a country comprising 85% young people, and as such set in motion a roadmap for a peaceful transition.

The country needs a clean break from your stagnant, moribund, corrupt and oppressive regime. Tuli bakoowu!

Short of this, you will be consigned to the dung heap of infamy, in the same stead with people like Jean Bedel Bokassa, Blaise Compaore, and Omar el Bashir.

For these reasons, this “muzzukulu”emphatically rejects your hollow apology.
