I am very ashamed that some of the MPs wrote anonymous letters to the World Bank to stop this project. Can you imagine the MPs you sent to Parliament blocking development?

I am very ashamed that some of the MPs wrote anonymous letters to the World Bank to stop this project. Can you imagine the MPs you sent to Parliament blocking development? Don’t be a disgrace to Africa, —President Yoweri Museveni, launching the construction of the $550m hydro power dam at Bujagali.* * *I have not been told how I caused unfavourabe affairs and public outcry especially when I am handing over sh213b in investments of the fund, ——John Baptist Kakooza, reacting to letter from the Gender, Labour and Social Development Minister Bakoko Bakoru, suspending him as Corporation Secretary of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).* * *I know this may be very sensitive for some of us to talk about, but we must talk about it if we are to succeed in achieving our objectives. We cannot have different political systems and yet aim at achieving political unity,—Marando Mabere, a member of the East African Legislative Assembly, calling for harmonisation of the political systems in the three countries.* * *I am standing on individual merit just like anybody else in the race and just like the law indicates. I know that many Movement sympathisers support me. I am not fielded by the Movement because I know they are not supposed to do so, Mayoral candidate Wasswa Ziritwawula, denying that he is the Movement’s candidate.* * *If you do not believe in the Movement system...and you are convinced that the Movement is the sick man of Uganda, give us the alternative. I am tired of this opposition, opposition all the time without providing an alternative way forward for this country—— Omoro MP Jacob Oulanyah challenging multipartyists to provide alternative to the Movement.ends
