Museveni fighting for political oxygen

Just look at this graphic.

From FY 2020/21 to FY 2025/26, Museveni has splashed a staggering UGX 865 BILLION under the pretense of “donations.”

Did you read that right? 865 BILLION SHILLINGS!

Let’s stop calling these donations.

They are not.

This is raw, shameless political bribery.

Museveni is not giving back to Ugandans—he’s buying loyalty. He is using your taxes to buy time. To buy silence. To buy relevance.

This isn’t leadership. It’s desperation.

While He Buys Praise, The Country Bleeds

Teachers are working without pay or teaching materials. Nurses and midwives are underpaid, overworked, and insulted by a failed system. Doctors are fleeing Uganda for greener pastures due to poverty-level salaries and zero equipment. Public schools are falling apart, with children learning under trees—no toilets, no books, no desks. Hospitals across the country don’t have gloves, medicine, or even beds.

And yet, Museveni keeps throwing billions around as if this is a game.

The PDM Lie – A Grand Scam in Plain Sight

The so-called Parish Development Model (PDM) was introduced as the “magic bullet” for rural development.

Museveni pumped UGX 100 million into parishes across the country—a laughable amount when you consider some parishes serve over 10,000 people.

What’s worse?

He spends billions more just to inspect the delivery of this token!

He travels with over 50 fuel-guzzling vehicles, wasting tens of millions of shillings per trip, just to “check” on a 100 million handout.

Let’s break it down:

This is the equivalent of flying a private jet across the country to deliver a single loaf of bread.

Where Could UGX 865 Billion Have Gone?

As a supporter of People Power and a proud member of the National Unity Platform (NUP), I ask:

What if that money had been used for actual nation-building?

Hundreds of functional health centers could have been constructed. Thousands of rural pit latrines could have saved children from disease. Classrooms, teachers’ houses, textbooks, and school feeding programs could have transformed education. Doctors, teachers, and nurses could have been paid well and on time.

But Museveni chose bribes over nation-building.

This Is Not Leadership – It’s Panic

Museveni is not leading.

He is surviving.

He is not serving Uganda—he is choking it for air as Bobi Wine and the People Power movement continue to rise.

He’s not responding with policies or vision.

He’s responding with donation stunts, stage-managed tours, and brown envelopes to buy headlines.

This is the behaviour of a man fighting for political oxygen, not fighting for your future.

To Every Ugandan Reading This:

That money he throws around?

It’s yours.

The taxes you pay on fuel, airtime, water, and food are being used to fund his survival tactics.

He’s not helping you.

He’s helping himself stay in power.

And while he clings to power like a drowning man, your children are learning in dust and disease. Your mothers are dying in hospitals with no medicine. Your future is being auctioned off for political mileage.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Uganda cannot and will never develop under this Museveni system.

We need transformation, not manipulation.

We need investment, not bribery.

We need justice, not favours.

We need a Uganda where leaders are accountable, not untouchable.

Where money is used to build, not to bribe.

Where power is won through service, not survival tricks.

I remain,
