Kampala minister Hon. Betty Olive Namisango Kamya has said that she believes that Museveni’s 32-year leadership is a calling from God and its only God who will decide his replacement when the right time comes.
Appearing on Top radio talk show this morning, Hon. Betty Kamya, who quoted a section of the Lord’s Prayer that says, “Your will be done on earth as it is done in Heaven” urged Ugandans to continue praying to God and stop creating unnecessary panic and havoc in the city.
Hon. Betty Kamya, a former senior member of Forum for democratic change (FDC) and founder of Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA) stated that the nation is not in disarray as some people are saying. “I have not heard of an emergency cabinet meeting, we sit normally every Monday, this is a sign that the country is peaceful and normal,” Kamya said.
About the Arua fracas where several MPs were arrested and allegedly tortured by some security operatives, Kamya said that some opposition leaders are championing a campaign against Government of defiance to cause havoc in the city.
“Kyagulanyi had to go through the due process since he had been charged with the capital offence of treason. Government had to analyse the bail terms of this case before clearing him,” Kamya said. The minister called upon religious leaders to teach the public so that they understand that its God who appoints leaders not violence.
She stated that Bobi Wine is a political phase (like Seya, Mbabazi, Besigye and other) which will pass. “National Resistance Movement is here to stay and this has been witnessed in all by- elections the country.”
She urged Ugandans to understand that there is a hidden agenda in Bobi Wine’s massive foreign backup which Ugandans should start looking at critically and questioning.
She concurred with government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo that Hon. Kyagulanyi should present his medical report from America to government when he returns so that they compare it with what was prepared by the medical experts here.
Besides The Ballot, No Struggle can cause change in Uganda – Kamya
In the same learning, the former presidential aspirant advised Ugandans not be hoodwinked by so called “opposition struggles” because the only struggle that could cause change is the power of the ballot. Kamya was trying to respond to former spy chief General David Sejusa’s statements that dialogue and talk shows cannot unseat president Museveni from power.
Early this week, Sejusa cautioned the opposition not to rely on dialogue and talk shows but continue pushing Museveni to the wall and make him weak. The bush war general said that the Museveni he knows cannot accept political dialogues especially when he knows that he is still in a strong position.
“We should know the type of struggle these people are talking about, is it protesting, going to the bush, they should tell us!” Kamya wondered. She also asked Hon. Kyagulanyi Ssentamu and others to explain to Ugandans what type of struggle they are talking about because by law, his struggle is supposed to be in parliament where he is supposed to front vibrant ideas, recommend good policies and also convince the numbers in parliament to make impact.
