Local musician Bobi Wine has accused President Museveni and his comrades of exploiting Uganda and sucking it dry.
The “Kiggwa Leero” hitmaker made the remarks while commenting on the NRM Liberation Day, held annually on 26th January to commemorate when NRM captured power in 1986 .
In a strongly worded Facebook post, Bobi criticises the government and calls upon Ugandans to stand up and grab the change they need. He posted:
“I was a five year old kid watching soldiers(mainly child soldiers (kadogos) match past our home with torn clothes and tired bodies. We held tree branches hailing them. Our parents told us not to call them abayekera(rebels) or abasilikale(soldiers),they told us to call them abanunuzi(liberators).
Three days later I saw their leader at parliament saying that ‘the problem of Africa and Uganda in particular are the leaders that over stay in power’. He said they had ushered in a FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. We were all taught about the ten point programme, the return of real democracy,rule of law,bla bla bla….
31 years later, what was democracy has become HYPOCRISY ,what was fundamental change has become NO CHANGE. Just like those 31 years have passed and we can all see what they have brought (and taken).
We as a nation must know that another 31years will pass beginning today and we will have to give an account for it.Where we are is not who we are.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting difference results. We must STOP expecting much from our Conquerors and be the change we so desperately need.
Happy conquest/Occupation day to all the so called Banunuzi who in my opinion are actually BANYUNYUNSI.”
