Mr. President Sir did you say this when you were still Mr. Museveni?

Some of your quotes to remember:

”A government that subjects its citizens to humiliation and desperate solutions is not worth the name and should hence be removed”. – Museveni 1979

”Even leaders can turn into bad people. If something falls in milk, you must not let it stay there – but remove it before the milk gets bad. We should be careful. We must not only praise ourselves, but critic ourselves too or, the movement fails”. -Museveni 1997

”It is horrible to see that hospitals in the country have no drugs. It is the duty of every government to provide drugs, sugar, salt and other essential requirements”.- Museveni 1980

”Uganda’s causes of disunity mainly spring from fears that public officials are cutting up the national cake among themselves. During the last 12 years, most people especially the top brass had been grabbers”.- Museveni 1979

”Using a government position to a mass wealth is high treason. If the UPM is not going to be supported because it denounces such methods of getting rich, let it be”.- Museveni 1980.

This is not a mere change of guards, I think this is a fundamental change in the politics of our government.

• Spoken during his first public speech as President on 26 January 1986, published four days later in the New York Times.
• Even when we were still fighting in the bush against the oppressive dictatorships of Iddi Amin and Apollo Milton Obote.
• We introduced elections for the committees of the villages under our control. He was speaking on democracy in September 2003.
• In 1972, Idi Amin expelled 80,000 [Ugandan] Indians and confiscated their 4,000 properties. Now, after returning those properties to their rightful owners, we have ensured that security of persons and property are guaranteed under the constitution. He was speaking on security of persons and property in Uganda in September 2005.

We fought a lonely battle against terrorism sponsored by Sudan, and we have defeated it; we cannot be intimidated by any force. For us our guide is the Constitution of Uganda and the laws there under.
