Responding to my open letter to President Museveni published in Sunday Monitor of March 7, some people accused me of hating His Excellency. But who am I to hate a lad of God from Rwakitura? I know.

Following an announcement late on Thursday, Uganda’s presidential elections have been put back five days as the electoral commission is not yet ready for the poll. News organisations quoted the commission’s announcement as saying the elections would now be held on 12 March, instead of 7 March, because of anomalies in voter registration lists.

YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI, 57, became Uganda’s President in 1986 after leading a five-year liberation struggle.
Born in Ankole, western Uganda during the Second World War, his name was taken from the “Abaseveni”, who were Ugandan servicemen in the Seventh Regiment of the King’s African Rifles into which many Ugandans had been drafted. Museveni attended local primary and secondary schools in western Uganda and studied political science and economics at the University of Dar es Salaam.
