“Museveni Is Tired But Still Hungry For Power & Surrounded By Incompetent People” Hon Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda Fumes

In a recent interview, Hon. Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda, the Shadow Minister for Finance and Kira Municipality Legislator, delivered a sharp critique of President Yoweri Museveni’s leadership, emphasizing the president’s age and the incompetence within his cabinet as significant contributors to the country’s challenges.
Hon. Ssemujju was candid in describing President Museveni as an “80-year-old president who is tired, pursuing only one thing, which is power,” highlighting growing concerns about his ability to effectively lead the nation. Museveni, who has held power since 1986, is one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, and his extended tenure has sparked ongoing debates about the need for new leadership and fresh ideas to address Uganda’s pressing issues.
In addition to questioning the president’s leadership, Hon. Ssemujju criticized the competence and commitment of Museveni’s cabinet, claiming that the president surrounds himself with individuals who are both uncaring and incompetent. This harsh assessment reflects the widespread frustration among Ugandans over the performance of key government officials. The lack of accountability and effectiveness within the cabinet has been a recurring topic of political discourse in the country.
Hon. Ssemujju’s remarks point to the broader implications of what he describes as a “cocktail” of poor leadership and incompetence, which he believes is responsible for Uganda’s numerous challenges. From economic struggles to social issues, the impact of ineffective governance is being felt across various sectors of society. His statement serves as a call to action, urging Ugandans to demand better leadership and greater accountability from their government.
The Shadow Minister’s critique resonates with many who feel that the country’s progress is being hindered by the current administration’s shortcomings. His call underscores the urgent need for a renewed focus on good governance, transparency, and prioritizing the welfare of citizens.
Hon. Ssemujju’s bold critique of President Museveni and his cabinet reflects a growing demand for change within Uganda’s political landscape, highlighting the increasing urgency of addressing governance issues for the country’s future. Effective leadership and competent governance are essential for ensuring the government serves the best interests of the people.
