The alleged presidential car that was smashed by Bobi Wine supporters.
Yesterday evening (Monday 13th Aug) divulged yet another bitter anecdote that will go down the history of narcissistic politics in Uganda. Allegations from the Presidential PR claim the procession of supporters that was led by Wadri and Kyagulanyi Robert (Bobi Wine) swung to the rioting and attacked the presidential convoy and smashed one of the “bullet proof” cars’ back windshield. This sparked off hysteria and in attempt to contend, the SFC opened a fire fight and in the due course, a couple of people were shot including Bobi Wine’s driver who lost his life in the dubious fight.
But claims for attacking the presidential car have been dissected very adequately by Ugandans. Questions lingering about the allegations include:
- What sort of stones were used to cause this damage on a bullet proof car?
- Any attack on the President’s motorcade is considered an assassination attempt, why did SFC allow damage to that extent ?
- How come other parts of the car were not stoned?
To me, the actions of SFC are imbecilic. Mr. Don Wanyama, the presidential sweet sayer’s statements are equally despicable. To say the least in summation, they are obtuse. Everyone is aware that this whole hullabaloo was to execute Bobi Wine and some of the vigilant supporters as the story of a smashed car has been considered a perjury.
The body of Kawuma Yasin, Bobi Wine’s driver lies dead in the car with blood on the right side of the chest.
What do these shenanigans think Ugandans are? The presidential convoy can not be attacked. That guerrilla latterly turned into leopard is very panicky. We have had an incident in Mabira and another along Entebbe road. We know what SFC does when a presidential convoy is attacked. Not with stone wielding men, but simply intercepted by innocent Ugandans with no intention to do harm. You shoot them dead, and splutter their brains on the road. They are collected like spilled soya.
You now want us to believe that the convoy was attacked with stones and the impenetrable bullet proof window of the president’s car was brought down. The lights were spared. No other parts were dented? What a stone thrower that was! Propaganda should not derail your sense if reason. Concoct another gimmick to justify the arrest of Bobi Wine. But on this one, leave us some energy for crossing the road. The truism of a dictatorial government has been a long sung verse and maybe it is high time the government changed the song already.
People’s power is not a new affidavit to the ears of Ugandans. This word originated time immemorial from the times of our forefathers who drafted the Ugandan Constitution;
1. Sovereignty of the people.
(1) All power belongs to the people who shall exercise their sovereignty in accordance with this Constitution.
(2) Without limiting the effect of clause (1) of this article, all authority in the State emanates from the people of Uganda; and the people shall be governed through their will and consent.
(3) All power and authority of Government and its organs derive from this Constitution, which in turn derives its authority from the people who consent to be governed in accordance with this Constitution.
(4) The people shall express their will and consent on who shall govern them and how they should be governed, through regular, free and fair elections of their representatives or through referenda.
VIVA UGANDA, VIVA AFRICA!
