Despair has made yearn for change that they no longer care to whom President Museveni hands over power peacefully, says Democratic Party President Norbert Mao.
Speaking at the last funeral rites for Suzan Namaganda, the former Bukomansimbi Woman MP who died in a road motor accident last year Mr Mao said that just like many Ugandans especially those born after Museveni captured power in 1986; he does not care whether the president hands over peacefully to his son Muhoozi Keinerugaba or wife Janet Kataha Museveni.
The function too place at Kawoko village in Butenga Sub County in Bukomansimbi District.
Mr Mao observed that President Museveni has made commendable contribution to this country but it is sad that majority of Ugandans are desperate to see another leader peacefully take over.
Mr Mao also blasted Buganda for helping Museveni stay in power saying being the largest population, they should have voted Museveni out of power.
Muhoozi Kainerugaba, 42, is the first child of President Museveni, who has been in power since 1986. He heads up the Special Forces Command, which maintains the president’s security, and is considered to be one of the most powerful figures in the Ugandan military, which is one of the country’s most dominant institutions while Janet is the Minister of Education and Sports.
Critics allege Muhoozi’s sudden elevation is part of a plan by Museveni to install his son as his successor.
President Museveni (72) was elected to a fifth term in the February elections with 61 percent of the vote. The opposition led by Kizza Besigye and EU monitors said the election was held in an intimidating atmosphere and was not free or fair.
The Constitution through Article 102(b), persons above 75 years are barred from contesting for the presidency. The Ugandan leader who is extending his 30-year-old rule since he took power in 1986, promised he will obey the law.
