Ugandans Walk To Work Don’t Be Cowards-Besigye

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda politics October 3, 2017

Former presidential candidate, Dr Kizza Besigye, has asked Ugandans not to be cowards and embark on a countrywide boycott of private vehicles by either taking buses, boda bodas or taxis or walk on foot to their work places.

Besigye was speaking from his home in Kasangati on “Red Tuesday” where he is being besieged by police. Police also deployed at the home of Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago in Wakaliga.

According to Besigye, Speaker Rebecca Kadaga has lost the Opposition MPs and continues to alienate them for speaking out against the presidential age limit bill.

That is why he launched the “Stand with the People campaign” to alienate regime agents who are doing President Yoweri Museveni’s bidding in his efforts to rule forever.

“I guess some of you came with the idea that I will be walking and that is not the idea today. I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Besigye told journalists at his home.

He said Red Tuesday is a countrywide call and like any other campaign, it will eventually build up. It’s starting today.

“Stop moving with your private vehicles on Tuesday and other actions will roll out until the regime surrenders ,” he said.

“This isn’t a partisan thing. We must show that this is our country. We are slaves in our country. People work so hard and can’t feed themselves.”

He said people think this is a ‘Besigye’ thing. It’s not and it has never been. Even during ‘Walk to Work’, Besigye says he was just an activist.

“This whole process is the process of assertion of people’s will. They are agents of the people in power, they legitimatize their agenda. We must start the process of isolating them.”
