BOBI WINE IS AN ENEMY OF YOUNG GENERATION TRYING TO BRING BACK COLONIALISTS – GEN. OTAFIIRE
The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Maj.Gen. (Rtd) Kahinda Otafiire has described Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine as an enemy of the young generation for always involving foreigners in Uganda’s politics.
Speaking in Mbarara town at an event to promote President Museveni’s sole candidature project on Saturday, Gen Otafiire said Bobi Wine is trying to bring back colonialism to Uganda by reporting President Museveni to United States of America and United Kingdom after the Arua Municipality MP by-election chaos.
“Our enemies are those working for the colonialists. You have a quarrel with Museveni and run to United States to report; you get a misunderstanding with Mr Museveni you go to United Kingdom to report him. Do those people govern us? Are you a president for Americans or British, have you ever seen Mr Museveni going to UK to ask for forgiveness?” he asked.
“If you want to go to report Museveni to Europeans, when you go there please keep there. You are coming to seek for votes then after putting you into power you use Americans and the British to lead us. No we got fade up with that. That is why we are praying that we can build a united Africa so that Africans can lead themselves,” Gen Otafiire said.
Gen Otafiire also castigated Rwanda for sabotaging brotherhood when they closed the Katuna border with Uganda.
Gen Otafiire said Africans value brotherhood and reconciliation but not hating and fighting each other whenever there is a misunderstanding.
“When you disagree with your brother, you do not cut down the banana plantation. When your brother’s cows attack your garden, you make him compensate you. Do not kill the cows. If they can see that and know that when your brother angers you, you sit at a round table and sort out those issues… but they have not seen it yet.
They close the borders because of a misunderstanding,’’ Gen Otafiire said referring to the Rwandan government which closed its border with Uganda at Katuna more than a month ago.
Gen Otafiire said President Museveni is still in power because he wants African unity to be achieved first and make fellow Africans understand that they all need each other.
He said the young generation can thereafter take over leadership without neighbours who still block their brothers from entering their country.
Former security minister in Milton Obote’s government Chris Rwakasisi claimed Mr Museveni is a unique leader who is not equalled by anyone in the world.
