Byanyima To Muhoozi: Leading A Country Isn’t An Idler’s Job

Engineer Winnie Byanyima, the head of UNAIDS as well as a wife to President Yoweri Museveni’s blunt critic, Dr Warren Kiiza Besigye, has downgraded Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba and his presidential ambitions, telling the First Son that leading a country isn’t a job for idlers.

Labeling Muhoozi that child, Byanyima advises President Museveni to find his son something else to do in order to ostensibly spare the Pearl of Africa from being led by a supposedly inexperienced president.

Addressing Muhoozi specifically, the First Lady of Besigye’s so-called Katonga road-based People’s government urges him to presumably stop daydreaming about becoming the next president since, in her own opinion, the military general lacks what it takes to run a country.

The famous woman having been a meticulous parliamentarian before as well as the first Ugandan female ever to study aeronautical engineering, going on to bag a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Manchester University, notes that running a country, getting people out of poverty let alone developing a nation requires a certain level of experience which, in her own opinion, Muhoozi and his group lack.

Political Ambitions and Urging Uganda to Focus

Muhoozi has for several years now been vigorously and unapologetically pushing to succeed his father as the next president, going on to form a political platform dubbed MK movement to use to realize such his dreams irrespective of the fact that his father looks to be also still interested in power and therefore not willing and ready to relinquish the top country’s political seat any time soon to anyone else let alone Muhoozi.

Byanyima utters the rather disparaging statements in a self-recorded video where she specifically dwells at length on Muhoozi’s presidential ambitions.

Byanyima advises Ugandans to stop and strictly avoid wasting their precious time dwelling on Muhoozi and his presidential ambitions and instead concentrate all their energies on better things intended to lift the country from the quagmire of poverty and the rest of the massive problems Uganda finds itself stuck in currently.

Presidential Bid and Focus on National Restoration

Whereas she salutes him for a job well done over the years he has been the one in charge of running the country, Byanyima suggests President Museveni has over a long time handling the rigors of leadership grown weaker, lamenting that yet all what the leader now trusts are ostensibly members of his family.

Having stated that, Byanyima then proposes to Ugandans: Hence let’s restore this country. Let’s not waste our time on the MK [Muhoozi Kainerugaba] project. Let them find something else for that child to do and leave matters of running the country alone.”

Emphasizing that running a country isn’t an idler’s job, Byanyima emphasizes, “You don’t bump into being a leader of people. It’s a process of learning, experimenting, building up things so you know how to do it; it’s not an idler’s job you bump in.”

Be that as it may, the Bulletin media website in a subsequent analytical article, will make its own case in support of Gen Kainerugaba Muhoozi’s presidential bid. Kindly watch this space…
