The Constitutional affairs minister, Nobert Mao, who doubles as the Democratic Party-DP president has challenged President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, to deliberately spearhead the processes for him to peacefully handover power.
While spearheading DP grassroots mobilization drives in Jinja city over the weekend, Mao pointed out that Uganda has never experienced any peaceful change of power, with each transition resulting into blood, which overly retards the country’s progression. He noted that it is highly Museveni creates an alternative from the past trends set by his predecessors.
He stressed that Museveni boasts of spearheading the country’s economic transformation in different aspects of life, which can be easily edified by the youthful generation, if he at all moots for peaceful power transfer.
Mao noted that Ugandans are celebrants of the prevailing stability in the country, however, they are equally groaning for a peaceful change of leadership, which Museveni can willingly supretend over, not only to consolidate his legacy for future generations, but also safeguard the country’s skyrocketing development endeavors under his stewardship.
Mao also implored Museveni to fight prevailing social evils like corruption and tribalism, among others, which he blames for failing the country’s growth, with some elements in the government using excessive power at their disposal, to deprive the majority Ugandans from partaking of the national cake, in all aspects.
Meanwhile, Ismael Kiirya, the Uganda young Democrats president, challenged all the youths in the country, to collectively refocus their energies on acquiring meaningful energies, which will enable them to actively participate in the power change struggles, without any form of bloodshed.
