What you need to know:
- Mr Kyagulanyi further said that the regime is scared of people uniting for a common cause and that’s why they deployed heavily in and around Kampala on the day he returned from the US last week
- On September 14, President Museveni also commissioned more than 10 projects he funded through formation of saccos in Kampala and Wakiso districts
Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi has castigated President Museveni for allegedly bribing the youth in Uganda because of what he says is his generational disconnect from the common man.
“Our president is so disconnected from the youth and they believe that nobody can say anything without being bribed. That’s why they go around trying to bribe ghetto youths,” Mr Kyagulanyi said in an exclusive interview with 933 KFM on Monday evening, in the Hot Seat programme.
He made the remarks just hours after
to the youth in Kamwokya, a Kampala suburb, to boost their businesses.
Col Shaban Bantariza, the deputy director of the Uganda Media Centre, who represented the President at Passover Harvest Church where the youth were being given the money, tasked the beneficiaries to utilise it well.
“The President has given you this money, but I urge you to use it well because now you have been given Shs100 million and if you use it well, in future you will get more than that,” Col Bantariza said.

On September 14, President Museveni also commissioned more than 10 projects he funded through formation of saccos in Kampala and Wakiso districts.
However, Mr Kyagulanyi insists that: “The money that Museveni is using to bribe the ghetto and common people out there, is for their (Museveni’s) own liberation.”
Mr Kyagulanyi further said that the regime is scared of people uniting for a common cause and that’s why they deployed heavily in and around Kampala on the day he returned from the US last week.
“The regime wants people to continuously be slaves and frightened… They are scared of people coming together. They have never seen people speak with one voice. But time will come even when I’m in my house, people will continue to demand for what’s rightfully theirs because I have made it clear that this is not about Bobi Wine; it’s about the power of the people. I’m very glad that people’s eyes are opening at a very rapid speed,’ he added.
“This is not about Bobi Wine, it’s about millions of Ugandans who are tired of the government policies. We want to leave in a country where all of us are free and equal,” he said.
