Big Story!! President Museveni Names The Most Shaming Part Of The Coffee Saga, Warns Critics
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has expressed his frustration and disappointment over the opposition to the government’s plan to rationalize state agencies.
He described the resistance as “embarrassing” and “shallow,” emphasizing that the most shameful aspect is the prevalence of tribalism.
Museveni criticized detractors who claim the rationalization is a tactic for personal gain, particularly regarding Uganda’s coffee sector. He deemed these accusations baseless, highlighting that allegations of theft, especially of Uganda’s coffee resources, are unfounded.
Museveni voiced his disappointment in the opposition’s stance, particularly those raising concerns along tribal lines. He described this approach as a harmful distraction from Uganda’s economic goals. Instead, he defended the rationalization initiative as necessary for Uganda’s socioeconomic transformation. The plan aims to streamline government functions, reduce redundancies, and promote a more efficient public sector.
In a bold statement, Museveni urged Ugandans to hold critics accountable for spreading misinformation that sows division and mistrust. He emphasized that if allegations against him prove false, Ugandans should “punish them politically” for their shallowness. This statement underscores Museveni’s commitment to pursuing structural reforms, despite opposition, to achieve a streamlined and more productive government.
The debate surrounding the rationalization program has highlighted polarized views. Opponents express concerns about potential impacts on job security and local industries. However, Museveni’s remarks demonstrate his resolve to push forward with reforms.
As the longest-serving president in Uganda’s history, Museveni has navigated complex political landscapes since taking office in 1986 . His current term has been marked by significant events, including his reelection in 2021 and his role as the Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement since January 2024.
