The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Secretary General, Ms Justine Kasule Lumumba, has revealed that Kasamba has been weak since he was diagnosed with a strange illness last year.
She made the revelation on Friday at the burial ceremony of the NRM chief mobiliser and Uganda’s representative in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), at Katovu-Mayanja village in Kakuuto Sub County, Kyotera District.
But a brave face of those calling the shots – and pushing him forward. We need to believe Mr Museveni when he tells us he doesn’t want to be in power. He has had a good life – and would undoubtedly enjoy a good one if he peacefully left office.
There is no reason why after 35 years in power, at 76, one still braves the stresses and insults that come with the presidency. I am getting convinced Museveni is not as obsessed with the presidency as he is made to appear. In truth, Museveni too, needs liberation from those clearly pumping up his ego to appear he is greedy for power.
