Musician turned politician Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has castigated President Yoweri Museveni for claiming that his regime fights corruption yet the culprits are protected by him.
Bobi Wine who is currently perceived as Museveni’s political nemesis cited examples of former Inspector General of Government (IGG) Justice Irene Mulyagonja, who said whenever she fought the corrupt officials, they would end up hiding in the President’s back.
Bobi Wine also reminded Museveni of his statement at Kololo Independence grounds where he told the current IGG Betty Olive Namisango Kamya Turwomwe that she should go slow with her lifestyle audit of public servants because they steal and invest the loot in country.

You Mr. Museveni are the chief architect, the chief priest, the midwife of corruption in Uganda. Uganda will only rid itself of corruption when it rids itself of you and your criminal regime.
You praise, promote and shield the corrupt. In your own words, because when they steal, they invest here. Just last weekend, you were in Bukedea praising Anita Among, with all the evidence of corruption against her brought to light. Is it because she named some blocks at her hospital after your son and his wife?
The former IGG said that when she attempts to investigate the corrupt, she finds them hiding behind your back. You told the current IGG to go slow on corruption and the Life-style Audit died a stillbirth.
You have practiced and encouraged political corruption- bribing voters and buying off weak-willed political opponents. You have bought the silence of many political, religious and cultural leaders through bribing them with money that should improve the lives of our people.
You have created classified budgets worth trillions for your own pleasure while teachers, doctors, medical interns, and soldiers and other service persons earn peanuts. That is why hospitals are without drugs, roads are impassable and children have to study under trees. You and your cronies have stolen the future of millions of our people!
I shudder that you have the courage to say anything about corruption. You have no moral right to say anything about corruption. You simply need to keep quiet instead of mocking the people of Uganda!
