President Yoweri Museveni’s political rival turned allay has praised him.  Beti Kamya the Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA) was recently appointed Kampala minister.

“I want to pledge that in 2021, you will get 80% in Kampala. The little problems we inherited will be solved. Museveni is still energetic. There is no one in Uganda who has more stamina than President Museveni,” she said.

Museveni, who had travelled to Kawempe with Kamya, Benny Namugwanya, the state minister for Kampala, Haruna Kasolo Kyeyune, the state minister for microfinance and Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi, the state minister for youth and children, said he wants leaders, including those from opposition to care about the plight of the people.

“I don’t care about opposition as long as they are elected. But if they care about people, they can come and we talk. My daughter Kamya was in opposition but when I scrutinized what she was talking about, there was a difference with what Dr. Kizza Besigye says. She cares about people, and she doesn’t just create hatred or devise mechanisms of keeping people in poverty. So I called her and we held talks,” he said.

During the events, Kamya, who pledged to mobilise for NRM in Kampala, rallied Ugandans to vote Museveni again in 2021 general elections.
