HEALTH state minister Mike Mukula has said Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president Dr. Kizza Besigye is an incompetent politician.

He said Besigye may not be in a position to guarantee peace and security in the country if he is elected president in next year’s elections.

Mukula said, “It is easy for Col. Kizza Besigye to speak out but can he deliver? Besigye has never fired a bullet not even by accident. Even Mukula has fired more bullets than him. I think you all remember when I was commanding a group of 10,000 arrow boys against Joseph Kony.

“Besigye’s work in the bush was to treat wounded soldiers. How can a man who has never fired a bullet claim that he can guarantee peace and security for the country? I challenge him to tell us which major battles he fought in or which group of soldiers he led in capturing any town during the bush war. ”

Mukula was on Wednesday speaking at a meeting of representatives of 50 district associations of bodaboda operators at Lugogo Indoor stadium in Kampala.

The meeting was attended by Moses Byaruhanga, the special presidential assistant for political affairs and head of mobilisation. Fred Bamwine, the deputy resident district commissioner for Rugaba, handed over sh2m to the cyclists from Gen. Salim Saleh.
