Letter of disappointment to Hon Kyagulanyi

This letter to Hon Kyagulanyi Robert Ssentamu holds great pain & disappointment in regards to his role in the struggle to bring change in Uganda.

Over to you Hon Kyagulanyi. When you came to the political scene in 2017, you came with a lot of energy & zeal in regards to removing President Museveni who you referred to as a dictator.

In this letter, you should know that you joined citizens on every effort to weaken & dismantle this regime. From fighting the OTT tax, to fighting removal of age limit, to participating in by-elections all-over the country to mention but a few.

You became a political star, became the hope for the millons of hopeless Ugandans; from the jobless youths, to market vendors, from getto youths to Ugandans in diaspora etc.

Indeed Ugandans paid a price to support you, hundreds of youths were murdered, others disappeared, while hundreds of people are rotting in jail. So read carefully this letter.

Other opposition leaders were displaced, your supporters once attacked Dr Besigye while he appeared on CBS FM asking him to give you way, which he anyway did! Efforts to front you as a joint candidate were futile as you claimed that you would do it alone! You asked Ugandans to surrender to you (bikwase Kyagulanyi) & they did that!

To their disappointment, you surprised them when during elections your family was flown to the USA for safety while Ugandans were suffering here. People like Besigye have risked their families during tough times to the extent that Besigye lost a brother in prison.

When elections were over & your victory was robbed, people expected something to be done, atleast rallying Ugandans to reject the results & raise against the junta!

You instead ran to court to legitimize the win, but because it was perhaps something pre-planned, you unjustifiably withdrew the case leaving Ugandans in despair.

Amidst the tears & cries by Ugandans who lost their loved ones, instead of investing all the resources in a struggle, you Instead bought yourself an expensive bullet proof/amoured car worth billions which was cleared by the authority!

Whether the money that bought the car came from State House or your supporters abroad is still a tight guarded secret. Even if it were your supporters as you lied, which Ugandan suffering to make ends meet on kyeyo abroad would send his hard earned money to Bobi Wine to buy a luxurious amoured car?

What kind of stupidity would that be? Even if your supporters were that stupid, wouldn’t it have been wise to advise them accordingly that the money should be used more productively? Or because you are used with the celebrity life of competing on who has the best car or best house that’s why you were excited by having an armoured car when your people are rotting in prisons with their families helpless? So are you different from the government you pretended to be fighting?

Hon Kyagulanyi as if that wasn’t bad enough, your supporters (street vendors) were chased from streets of Kampala, you remained silent. Prices of commodities skyrocketed, you remained silent, our coffee is being taken away by Pinneti & you can’t speak! Hon Kyagulanyi who are you working for?

Hon Kyagulanyi, it is on record that NUP received over 4bn from government in 2021/22 financial year. You also receive one million from each of your 57 MPs monthly. When you add mayors, LC5s, city councilors etc, it’s estimated that you collect about 70m per month which totals to sh800m per year. If each district was given sh2 millon monthly it would be about sh300m per month & the balance would remain at the headquarters, but where does this money go? How many NUP offices are opened upcountry? How many activities have been held upcountry except the recent by-election in Omoro? Have you ever even provided accountability or acknowledged how you received this money or “mukujuta nazo”, you eat it in hiding?

Your conduct makes us doubt why courts allowed your illegal transfer of the party from Kibalama to yourself! No wonder MPs of NUP have been told to go slow on the regime lest their party will be deregistered & they will lose their seats! This is just a crafted opposition!

Hon Kyagulanyi, isn’t it true that NUP was created as a solution to the Buganda question to keep people in central occupied politically & divert them from the main causes? Isn’t it true that you agreed with authority to remain in Kampala & Buganda & never to cross to other regions?

As I conclude this letter, in Parliament NUP MPs have been cutting deals as they remit the loot “omunyago” to you (Kyagulanyi). The most recent one being the 40 million that the MPs shared including those of NUP, so do NUP still has the moral authority to hoodwink people that it’s fighting for them or it is just a kiwani courtesy of your own song?

Kyagulanyi, you are a thug, you are a mafia gang working for the government. You used people’s desperacy to get them from Dr Besigye & afterwords you killed the struggle. You should be exposed, the dealings you make in darkness should be put to light.

Those being hoodwinked that Bobi Wine is fighting for you, you are following wind, the guys you think will help you are busy enjoying party after party, building mansion after mansion, otherwise stop following Mr Kiwani Sabafere! End of the letter.
