Reconciling With The Opposition Is Not A Problem;- Museveni

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news January 27, 2021

Museveni said he has no problem reconciling with the opposition. He said this during the 35th annual liberation day celebration.. This came as a response to Rt Rev. Msgr Charles Kasibante, the Vicar General of the Kampala Archdiocese who represented the Archbishop of Kampala, Dr.Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. In his speech, he asked the president to reconcile with opposition and also let Kyagulanyi move freely.

“Let us promote general reconciliation with each other and with one another. As religious leaders, as a sign of reconciliation, we request that government allows Hon.Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu to have his freedom of expression and movement,”

In response to this, Museveni said reconciling is not a problem to him because it has been their norm in his ruling party.

“Msgr Kasibante, you are preaching to the choir about reconciliation. Reconciliation is our way of doing things. That’s how you find that Idi Amin’s own son is my deputy director of intelligence, Okello Lutwa’s son Oryem is a foreign affairs minister, Amin’s grandson is an MP in my party. Amin’s daughter in law is my minister,” The president said.

He however said he will not tolerate anyone who wants to disturb the peace of the country because of reconciliation.

“For us we have no problem but the only thing we cannot tolerate is violence. I ask all Ugandans to forget about violence. Don’t dream about it because it will not work…”

This however, to the opposition is like sweeping things under the mat because upto now, Kyagulanyi insists that he won the elections.
